Solo dev builds playable game in 6 weeks using Claude 5.5 Opus and Godot

A solo game developer with no prior coding or game development experience has created a playable game in six weeks using Anthropic's Claude 5.5 Opus and the Godot engine. The developer utilized custom Claude skills for task routing, session management, and research verification, alongside tools like Tripo P2 for asset generation and Obsidian for documentation. This approach allowed for iterative development, focusing on one feature at a time to maintain a consistent visual style and workflow. AI
