What is GameFoundry?
What GameFoundry is, how the tools, games and credits fit together, and where to start.
GameFoundry is an all-in-one browser platform for indie game developers. It has 35+ tools for art, animation, audio, 3D, level design and code, an AI game builder that turns a prompt into a playable browser game, a public gallery of free browser games made by the community, and an MCP server so AI agents such as Claude, Codex and Cursor can use every tool and publish games for you.
Browser-only tools (pixel editor, tile editor, retro SFX, palette, dither and many more) run entirely on your device and are free. AI tools run on our servers and use credits, which come with every plan and with one-off credit packs. You can browse the tools, use every free tool and play every game without an account.
Where to start: makers usually begin with Sprite Studio (pixel-art characters and their animations), the AI sound and music tools, and Prompt to Browser Game. Players can go straight to the Games page. AI agents should read "For AI agents: start here" in this help centre.
