Desktop app for game dev with AI.

Latest release MIT license Build status

Genex: a game built in chat, with its assets beside it


Download

| Platform | Download | | --- | --- | | macOS (Apple Silicon) | Genex.dmg | | Linux (x64) | .deb, .rpm or .zip from the latest release | | Windows | Soon |

Genex is early: expect rough edges, and tell us about them in issues.

What it does

→ Use your Claude Code or ChatGPT subscription\ → Or run local models\ → Multi-agent game dev: mix Opus and GPT models across the main agent, workers and reviewers\ → Make 3D assets locally with the Blender plugin\ → Meshy, Tripo, ElevenLabs and more through the Genex tools router\ → Export anywhere, or publish to the web\ → Build in Unreal or Godot on your Mac with their plugins\ → Native C++ games soon

[!TIP]
Have a tool your games need? Build a plugin and put it in the Genex
Marketplace for everyone.

Contributing

You need macOS on Apple Silicon, Git and Node 24.

git clone https://github.com/genex-games/genex-desktop.git
cd genex-desktop
nvm install && nvm use   # Node 24, from .nvmrc
npm ci
npm run studio:dev -- start --profile first-run --fixture app-basics

The fixture runs the app with scripted models and sample games, so it needs no account. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before you open a pull request; coding agents start at AGENTS.md.

Build a plugin

Plugins give Genex's agents new tools: an asset generator, an engine bridge, a service your game talks to. The Blender and Genex tools that ship with the app are plugins too. From a Genex checkout:

npm run plugin:new -- my-plugin --out ~/studio-plugins   # scaffold it from the example
npm run plugin:doctor -- ~/studio-plugins/my-plugin      # check it the way Genex will
  1. Try it: in the app, Plugins → Add → Load local plugin… and pick the folder.
  2. Share it: push it to a public GitHub repository and publish a release for each version.
Anyone can install it from there with Plugins → Add → Install from GitHub….
  1. List it: open a pull request to
genex-plugins. A maintainer reviews it, and it appears in every Genex app's Marketplace.

The plugin guide covers tools, panels, settings and accounts.
