Andy Tsen Built a World. Then He Built the Tools to Make the Next One.
After Zenith topped Steam and Quest, its defining problem appeared after launch. Andy Tsen turned that lesson into Aura, an AI assistant designed around the unglamorous work of shipping games.
Aura
Aura is an AI agent for game development built by Ramen VR, the San Francisco studio behind the VR MMO Zenith: The Last City. Purpose-built for Unreal Engine and Unity, Aura turns written ideas into Blueprints, C++ and C# code, generates 3D assets, and automates repetitive tasks so professional developers can ship games faster. Its multi-agent system - including the Telos Blueprint agent and specialized verification and material agents - understands a studio's existing codebase and works within the engine editor. Ramen VR raised more than $45M (Series B led by Anthos and Dune) and pivoted from VR gaming to XR + AI developer tooling.
