GladeCore
What GladeCore is
GladeCore is a C/C++ SDK for game developers who want locally running language-model dialogue and speech in game characters. It supports Unreal Engine and Godot now, while Unity integration is still in progress. Characters can use customizable personality presets tuned across 10 emotions. Local Piper and Kokoro provide text-to-speech, including Kokoro voices in nine languages; ElevenLabs integration and Whisper speech-to-text are also listed. Pro SDK capabilities include retrieval augmented generation with citations, grounding and refusal modes, embeddings, agentic actions, tool calling, intent classification, grammar presets, chat compression, quest generation, and rule-based output retrieval. Listed cloud backends include OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, and Ollama. Glade says the SDK has no cloud dependency and can run without internet. SDK and gameplay data are processed locally, although enabled third-party integrations may receive sent data. Plans are paid, with no listed prices, and commercial use is supported.
Who it suits
It suits game developers building AI-powered characters, NPC dialogue, and voice-triggered in-game actions. Unreal and Godot developers can use the SDK today; Unity users face the listed standalone-plugin limitation.
