Opus 5.5 fuses playable games in a day; Musk says one-person game studios arrive next year

- Andrew Curran argues game dev capability has jumped astonishingly in recent weeks: with models like Astra and Opus 5.5, people mash up game concepts into stable, playable fusions in a single day—some so good devs don't post them publicly for fear of lawsuits.
- He contends a one-person game studio is near, and an anti-AI game industry will be blindsided, still debating "supply gluts" instead of seeing the endgame.
- Quoted tweet by George Kal: Opus 5.5 handles shaders, systems design, level logic, sound, tooling and debugging; in 1-2 years every solo dev can ship the game in their head, leaving only taste and audience as moat.
- Elon Musk replied simply: "Next year."
