Developer uses Claude Code to build game for under $700

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user shared their experience developing a game using Claude Code, a tool that generated most of the C# code for the project. This approach allowed them to create a playable game with a Steam page for under $700, contrasting with a previous game developed with a studio for $50,000. The AI not only wrote code but also developed features like an in-engine replay recorder, a playtest harness with AI agents, automated testing for translations, and 360 automated tests, significantly streamlining the development process.
