A solo dev with zero coding/gamedev background built a playable Godot game (Ragnarok Online × Monster Hunter mashup) in 6 weeks using Claude Code with Opus 5.5 on a Claude Max 20× plan. Key tricks: a "route" skill that delegates to Sonnet/Haiku with Opus reviewing to save tokens, a "handoff" skill for fresh sessions with carried-over context, and a "Re-searcher" skill that verifies research into Obsidian. Art consistency comes from a dedicated art-direction skill plus saving every successful image prompt as JSON; 3D assets use Tripo P2 ($20/mo) with Blender for small props. Part 1 of a series.
