FatherLode dev update: Claude-built game adds weather, museum with 30+ treasures, Suno 5.5 music

An indie dev continues building FatherLode (a nod to Miniclip's 2004 Motherlode) entirely with Claude, sharing a new gameplay video. The update adds: English localization (30% done), a Museum system with 30+ collectible treasures and events, surface weather (thunder, rain, mist), new surface backgrounds and wind effects on trees, 40+ new dialogues with two new characters, 4 random difficulty events, new cave backgrounds, 12 AI-generated music tracks from Suno 5.5, and a remade menu/intro. An itch.io page is live; the dev notes even the paid CLAUDE MAX quota burns fast.
