Urban Brain Studios is a Studio City, CA based software company that develops video game design tools for PC.[1]

Their most recent software, Chat Mapper, provides a basis for prototyping nonlinear conversations in video games and is the first commercial software package designed solely for this purpose.[2][3] The software concept is based loosely on works by Owen, et al.,[4] and Arinbjarnar,[5] describing the importance of interactive nonlinear dialogue in video games.

Urban Brain Studios was acquired by LearnBrite in Q1 2015.[6]
