Making a game used to need a team: someone to build levels, someone to code, someone for music, someone to animate faces. These five free, open-source repos cover each of those jobs, and Claude does the work in all of them.

Here's what each one does, how to set it up, and the catch.

What each one does

  • Godot MCP: Claude opens the Godot game engine, builds scenes, runs your game, reads the errors and fixes them.
  • UnrealClaude: puts Claude in a chat panel inside Unreal Engine 5.7, where it can place actors, edit Blueprints and build levels.
  • Claude Code Game Studios: a full studio in a box, 49 AI agents with real studio jobs, from creative director and designers to programmers and QA testers.
  • ACE-Step 1.5: describe the vibe and get a full song back, in under 10 seconds on a strong graphics card.
  • NVIDIA Audio2Face-3D: feed it a voice line, and your 3D character's face moves and lip-syncs to it.

1. Godot MCP

  1. Install the Godot engine (free, godotengine.org) and Node.js 18 or newer.
  2. In your terminal, run: claude mcp add godot -- npx @coding-solo/godot-mcp
  3. Restart Claude Code. Then ask it to open your Godot project, build a scene, and run the game.

2. UnrealClaude

  1. You need Unreal Engine 5.7 and Claude Code, signed in with your Claude account.
  2. Copy the plugin: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Natfii/UnrealClaude.git
  3. Build it for your computer and engine, following the README. There are no ready-made downloads.
  4. Turn it on in Unreal's plugin browser (Editor section), then chat with Claude in the docked panel.

3. Claude Code Game Studios

  1. Copy the studio into a new game folder: git clone https://github.com/Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios.git my-game
  2. Open Claude Code inside that folder.
  3. Describe your game. Claude asks a few questions, writes a one-page brief, then the agents get to work. Type / to see all 75 skills.
