3 strangers built a browser roguelike in 16 days using Claude

Three strangers collaborated on Reddit to build a browser-based caveman survival roguelike, Eat Sleep Brave Repeat, in just 16 days using Claude Code.
Key Workflow:
- Division of Labor: Claude handles implementation, testing, and docs based on a living 14-document design spec, while humans focus on design, art, and playtesting. It is directive-based, not "prompt and pray."
- Coordination: A shared WORKLOG.md serves as the coordination layer. Both humans and agents claim tasks before starting and retire them upon pushing, avoiding merge hell.
- Quality Gate: A ship script fetches, rebases, and runs the gate (3,200 tests) before pushing, ensuring the main branch never breaks.
- Art Pipeline: Standalone HTML/WebGL studies (e.g., voxel rigs, toon shaders) serve as the source of truth. Claude writes extractors to bake geometry into the game, preventing drift from the art vision.
