Make and publish 3D games with the first AI game engine
The first all-in-one, AI-native game engine. An AI agent builds your AAA-style 3D game. You can edit it directly in a synced visual editor. No code. Auto-rigging, multiplayer, and 1-click publish built in. Uses ~80% fewer tokens and generates faster than Claude Opus 5.5 + Unity.
I scaled ByteDance's Helo to 50M DAU, and co-founded Livein (#1 on the US App Store) and AnswerAI (top-3 AI education app in North America, 6M+ users)
My CTO spent 10 years at ByteDance leading recommendation & LLM RL at Seed, with a computer graphics background from SJTU
Our core team comes from ByteDance Seed and miHoYo
Together, we're uniting top-tier AI agent research with deep game-engine engineering.
Today, we're launching Wanaka Studio: the first all-in-one, AI-native game engine built from the ground up for both humans and AI. Anyone can build high-quality 3D games, with zero coding required.
💡 Why we built Wanaka Studio
Making a game should be as easy as making a video. Photos and videos had their UGC revolutions because editing apps made creation effortless. Games never did, because the barrier was too high. We believe AI finally makes game creation accessible to everyone.
Existing AI game-dev paths hit a dead end. We went deep on the two main approaches in the market today and found fatal flaws in both. Our takeaway: LLMs won't replace professional software. Instead, AI needs better software. All pro software deserves to be rebuilt from scratch for one simple reason: the user has changed.
So we built a brand-new game engine where both humans and AI are first-class citizens.
🚀 What makes it special: Ultimate Ease of Use × AAA-Grade Quality
An Engine-Native AI Agent That Actually Works. Why does our Agent succeed where general coding agents fail? It doesn't write raw boilerplate from scratch. It operates on an engine co-designed for AI, with clean declarative APIs, 30+ atomic engine tools (physics, terrain, prefabs, behaviors, lighting), and a closed-loop self-playtest & rollback system that inspects the live runtime, catches bugs, and fixes its own mistakes.
All-in-One Game IDE & Visual Editor. No black-box prompt roulette. The Agent and the visual IDE stay in real-time, two-way sync. Prompt for speed and get readable, structured game design & logic, then click straight into the 3D viewport to drag assets and fine-tune parameters. The Agent immediately understands every manual edit you make.
3D Character Generation & Rigging. Generate custom 3D characters with built-in skeletal rigging and animations in seconds.
Native Multiplayer. Built-in networking and state sync let you turn any creation into a multiplayer game to play with friends.
One-Click Publishing. Share your game instantly via a link. Zero deployment headaches.

Who hunted Wanaka Studio?
Wanaka Studio was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
