Gambo7592 · reddit · 2026-09-14
A developer with zero game dev experience shared a progress update on their cozy game No Name Squish Game after roughly 80 hours of work. The full story is finished, with a mystery tying together 27 characters — each with their own backstory and secrets — plus six planned biomes, four fully built. Dialogue is written entirely by Claude. A web/mobile port is open for playtest feedback, though completion is still months away.
