Reddit user asks about LLM video game creation capabilities

A user on Reddit is inquiring about the potential of local large language models (LLMs) like Qwen3.6 27b and GLM 5.1 to create video games. They are specifically interested in how advanced a game could be if the LLM wrote all the code, was kept offline, and had unlimited revision attempts over a month. The user seeks a rough comparison to existing games, ranging from Pong to Elden Ring, and also wonders how this capability would stack up against cloud-based frontier models like Opus or GPT-5.5. AI

    Noob here, curious about roughly how advanced of a video game a model like Qwen3.6 27b could create, if kept fully offline, and got unlimited attempts/revisions (maybe ~1 month project time limit). Like, could it make something equivalent to Pokemon Red? Doom? Doom II? What if using GLM 5.1?
