Developer Spends $2,175 and 36 Hours Building an MMORPG with Claude, Sparks Local LLM Debate

A developer spent $2,175 and over 36 hours with Claude to build a surprisingly complete MMORPG-style project — not a true MMO yet, but a solid structural start. The Reddit poster asks what a local-first stack would look like, proposing 2x DGX Sparks running GLM 5.3 plus a 5090 desktop with ComfyUI for image gen, Gaussian Splatting, and image-to-3D, arguing the project's detailed upfront prompting makes local reproduction feasible.
