Ludus AI is developing a suite of artificial intelligence tools that integrate directly with Unreal Engine, enabling automated code editing, rapid 3D model creation, game-logic management, error detection and fast prototyping. The company claims its toolkit cuts developers’ workloads by roughly 30 %, and the first public version has already attracted about 26,000 users. While initial demand comes from game studios and Unreal Engine learners, the technology is also being tested in automotive HMI design, advertising, film and defense training simulations. Founded by industry veteran Piotr Penar after his previous studio DreamStorm Studios, Ludus AI is positioning itself to tackle the growing complexity of Unreal Engine and the shortage of skilled developers. In 2024 the startup completed a pre-seed round and grant package worth around PLN 1 million to build its team and product. In December 2025 it secured a PLN 4.5 million seed round to accelerate product development and expand global sales efforts. Investors view the company’s combination of technical depth and market timing as a platform for worldwide scale.
