What is Danya and how does it work for Unity?

Danya auto-generates a project-specific AI coding harness with enforcement hooks, rules, and reviews tuned for Unity—run it once, blocks bad edits, enforces compiles, scores changes.

Does Danya support Unreal Engine and Godot?

Yes, seven templates including Unreal, Godot, plus backends like Go/C++/Node—engine auto-detects, deploys rules for pitfalls like Tick() traps.

Can Danya prevent AI performance mistakes in games?

Absolutely—static lints 18 hot-path rules (e.g., no GetComponent in Update()), self-evolves from your errors, full-auto workflows with retries.
