Ludus AI FAB Plugin Recreation

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share my experience with the Ludus AI plugin and how much it can actually help inside Unreal Engine. I honestly expected AI to take a long time to reach what a human developer can do, but lately I’ve been impressed by both the speed and the accuracy.

I tested a few different “AI for UE” tools/plugins, and so far Ludus has been the only one that consistently gave me what I asked for. The biggest challenge (for me) was learning how to write clear prompts—these tools really need specific instructions—so I used ChatGPT to help me structure the prompts properly.

In the end, I used Ludus to recreate a marketplace/Fab-style feature as a learning experiment, before spending money on a ready-made plugin that I wouldn’t fully understand internally. What I liked is that Ludus didn’t just “output something” it guided me through the steps, set up the base (variables/functions/materials), and even added a nice final touch (e.g., making the vision turn red when the NPC spots the player).

That said, it’s not magic: sometimes it still asks you to do steps that the AI can’t do yet (like creating missing assets/classes/C++, wiring certain parts manually For Materials), and you may need to iterate to fix small logic gaps so you still need to review and guide it.

I recorded a short video showing the workflow and the results. If this post/video breaks any Unreal Engine or marketplace/Fab rules, please delete it and I apologise in advance — I’m not trying to share anyone’s proprietary work, only my excitement and my learning experience using AI in UE.

Thanks!

Yes, I’m finding it absolutely invaluable. So far I’ve asked it to find bugs and inefficiencies in my blueprints, list all the things I need to optimize for mobile, and more recently, to help me around some very aggravating iPad deployment issues – where it suggested the correct answer on its list while other AIs failed.

In all cases it gave great, detailed answers, and often offered to fix the issues itself.

It’s 100% worth the price for that alone.

It’s not perfect, and in a few cases I’ve had it stall out our crash while working, and it doesn’t always detect when it stalls out and report it to the user or try again. But it’s already a great tool.
