Solo dev builds cyberpunk pixel-art game with Claude Code: 785 commits in one month
Yigidus · reddit · 2026-10-22
- A solo developer is building City of Animals, a 2D cyberpunk pixel-art side-scroller mixing Monkey Island-style adventure with Huntdown-inspired combat — previously a pick-one choice for a solo dev.
- Stack: Unity + Aseprite, PixelLab for animation drafts cleaned up by hand; Claude Code writes most of the code while the dev directs and play-tests every change.
- First versions of mechanics usually work, but the feel rarely does — most effort goes into iterating timing, distances, and sound. Around 785 commits in one month, much still placeholder.
