NousResearch Hermes agents build Diablo-like RPG with zero asset files, all generated in code

Developer @iamlukethedev unveiled The Ninth Vigil, a Diablo-inspired dark fantasy action RPG with zero asset files—no textures, meshes, monster models, images, or audio. Everything is generated in code at runtime, runs in the browser, and is free and open source. The game was built by NousResearch's Hermes agents: one writes game logic, one creates art, one handles music and sound, and one playtests and files bugs—effectively a tiny game studio in a loop.
