Question 1

What is StraySpark?

Accepted Answer

StraySpark is a game studio and professional Unreal Engine 5 tool developer. We create production-ready plugins and tools — including the Procedural Placement Tool, Cinematic Spline Tool, Blueprint Template Library, and Unreal MCP Server — used by hundreds of game developers worldwide.

Question 2

Which Unreal Engine versions do you support?

Accepted Answer

All our products currently support Unreal Engine 5.7. We update our plugins to support the latest stable UE release as soon as possible after each official launch. Preview and beta engine builds are not officially supported.

Question 3

Do I get the C++ source code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every product ships with full C++ source code — no precompiled binaries, no black boxes. You can read, modify, and extend every line of code to fit your project needs.

Question 4

How does licensing work?

Accepted Answer

We offer two license tiers: Personal and Professional. The Personal license is for individual creators or small teams with less than $100k in annual revenue or funding. The Professional license is for studios or entities exceeding that threshold. Both are perpetual, non-exclusive, and non-transferable — no royalties, no subscriptions, and no per-project fees.

Question 5

What is the difference between Personal and Professional?

Accepted Answer

Both license tiers grant the same product features, full C++ source code access, and lifetime updates. The Personal license is for individuals or small teams with under $100k in annual revenue or funding. The Professional license is required for studios or entities exceeding that threshold. Both are perpetual with no usage restrictions.

Question 6

Can I use your tools in commercial games?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can use our tools in any commercial game, application, or project. Games and applications you ship are entirely yours — we claim no ownership or royalties over your work.

Question 7

Can I share my license key with my team?

Accepted Answer

Each license key is tied to one individual or one company. If your studio needs multiple seats, each developer needs their own license. For team or studio pricing inquiries, contact us at contact@strayspark.studio.

Question 8

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Because our products include full source code that cannot be "returned," we handle refunds case-by-case. If a product doesn't work as described and we can't resolve the issue, we'll issue a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@strayspark.studio with your order details.

Question 9

Do updates cost extra?

Accepted Answer

No. All products include free lifetime updates. When we release a new version — bug fixes, new features, engine version support — it's available for download in your account dashboard at no additional cost.

Question 10

What is the Unreal MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The Unreal MCP Server is a plugin that connects your Unreal Editor to AI assistants (like Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf) via the open Model Context Protocol. It gives the AI 200+ editor tools across 32 categories — so you can tell the AI to spawn actors, set up materials, build Blueprints, or create Niagara systems using natural language.

Question 11

Which AI clients work with the MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

Any MCP-compatible client works. We recommend Claude Code for the best experience. Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients with MCP support also work out of the box. The server uses streamable HTTP transport with backward-compatible SSE, so there's no vendor lock-in.

Question 12

Does the MCP Server send my project data to StraySpark?

Accepted Answer

No. All communication happens directly between your local Unreal Editor and your chosen AI client. StraySpark never receives, logs, or has access to any data transmitted between your editor and the AI. The server runs entirely on your machine.

Question 13

Can I undo AI-generated changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every mutating tool is wrapped in a standard Unreal Editor transaction. Press Ctrl+Z to undo any AI action, just like any other editor operation. AI-generated changes are first-class editor operations.

Question 14

What are tool presets?

Accepted Answer

Tool presets let you control how many tools the AI has access to: Full (200+ tools), Scene Building (130), Gameplay (150), Minimal (25), or Custom. Fewer tools means lower AI context costs and more focused capabilities. Switch presets with one click from the editor toolbar.

Question 15

What can the Procedural Placement Tool do?

Accepted Answer

It's a rule-based scatter system that lets you populate entire worlds with vegetation, rocks, and props. Features include multi-layer scatter, biome zones, 4 density modes (uniform, Perlin noise, radial falloff, texture mask), spline scatter, exclusion zones, and cluster grouping — all rendered efficiently through HISM instancing. It can place 100K+ instances per second.

Question 16

What does the Cinematic Spline Tool include?

Accepted Answer

A professional spline-based camera system with 17 real-world filmback presets (ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, iPhone, IMAX), true Hitchcock dolly zoom, Perlin noise camera shake, collision avoidance, crane/jib arm simulation, and group framing. Create Hollywood-quality camera work without touching Sequencer.

Question 17

What gameplay systems does the Blueprint Template Library include?

Accepted Answer

8 complete systems: Health & Combat (with damage types, shields, regen), Inventory & Crafting, Branching Dialogue, Quest & Objectives, Abilities & Buffs, Stats & Attributes, Interaction System, and Save/Load. All 100% Blueprint-accessible with 61 source files and zero external dependencies.

Question 18

How do I access the documentation?

Accepted Answer

Product documentation is protected and requires a valid license key to access. After purchasing, go to the Docs section and enter your license key when prompted. Your key can be found in your account dashboard under License Keys. Once unlocked, access is remembered for 30 days. Alternatively, if you're logged into your account with an active license, documentation is automatically unlocked.

Question 19

How do I install the plugins?

Accepted Answer

Download the plugin from your account dashboard, extract it to your project's Plugins folder, and enable it from the Plugin Manager in Unreal Editor. Each product includes detailed installation instructions in the documentation.

Question 20

Do your plugins affect build times or runtime performance?

Accepted Answer

Our plugins are built with performance as a priority. The Procedural Placement Tool uses HISM instancing and spatial hashing. The Cinematic Spline Tool has zero CPU cost when idle. The Blueprint Template Library uses efficient GameplayTag-based systems. The MCP Server only runs in the editor — it has zero runtime overhead in shipped builds.
