Illustrator with zero coding experience built a full 3D game, Voidsurf, with Codex and Claude

A game-industry professional with a decade as a freelance illustrator and virtually zero coding experience showcases Voidsurf — a 3D surf-and-combat demo with enemy types, power-ups, a final boss and a striking surface shader. He built it over three years of generative AI experimentation: mainly with Codex, with "Astra" helping refine the 3D space into a coherent environment, plus Claude and Blender MCP. He says the project may be abandoned unless it finds something genuinely unique, and is soliciting feedback — another concrete case of creative backgrounds crossing the coding barrier with AI.
