Ramen VR, the innovative game studio, today debuted the trailer for Aura, a new AI-powered assistant designed specifically for Unreal Engine. The studio is now inviting game developers to join Aura’s closed pre-alpha program ahead of its early access release planned for July 2025.
Created by developers with developers in mind, Aura acts as a super teammate—intimately familiar with your project and ready to tackle complex technical challenges. Unlike general AI chatbots, Aura is purpose-built to understand Unreal Engine’s intricacies and help studios bring their creative visions to life with detailed technical solutions.
“An Incredible Teammate Who Shows Up Every Time”
“Aura is like an incredible teammate, one who knows your project inside and out – and they actually show up, every time,” said Andy Tsen, CEO of Ramen VR.
Currently, Aura is piloted by select studios and creators. Whether implementing gameplay logic, debugging complex Blueprint behaviors, or answering detailed questions about codebases, Aura empowers developers to build faster, stay focused, and ship games with confidence.
“I wish I had this five years ago when we were pushing hard to deliver Zenith, chasing down bugs I barely understood, and losing steam on ideas I was excited about just days earlier,” Tsen added.
Aura’s Features
- AI-powered assistance for Unreal Engine development: implementation, debugging, and optimization
- Deep contextual understanding of individual projects and Unreal Engine’s architecture
- A comprehensive suite of tools supporting all stages of game development, from level design to code refinement
- Exceptional accuracy, significantly outperforming traditional chatbots and competitors during its closed pre-alpha phase
Aura in Action and Community Engagement
Ramen VR will showcase Aura during Unreal Fest Orlando at their developer social event—developers interested can contact the team for details. Additionally, Unreal Community Chapters are integrating Aura into activities such as game jams, including the upcoming Unreal Orlando XR Jam, demonstrating Aura’s practical impact on real-world game development workflows.
