Hobbyist builds Roman roguelite in four weeks using Claude Code

A hobbyist developer used Claude Code to create a Roman-themed roguelite game called "Eternal City" in just four weeks. The game, which features turn-based tactical combat and elements inspired by titles like Slay the Spire and Into the Breach, was developed through an iterative process where the developer provided feedback to Claude Code, which then wrote and debugged the game's code. The developer is currently seeking input on which of two art styles, voxel models or hand-painted sprites, to implement permanently in the game. AI
