One Claude agent ships games autonomously, costing $100K in its first month

The Spawn team detailed how a single Claude agent autonomously builds games and the platform's growth.
Methodology
- Started with something simple that worked: just bug reports from one Claude in Discord
- Founders reviewed its code line-by-line for weeks, granting autonomy gradually over months
- Every token audited hourly against goals; double down on what works, cut fast what doesn't
- First month cost about $100K
What Spawn is
- A new social network, not a game-making tool; sells nothing today, monetizes when creators do
- Goal: games 100x the size of GTA5, 1s loading, 60FPS on 5-year-old budget phones
- Thousands of daily-active creators, doubling every 10 days; 30% spend 30+ hrs/week in spawn, 10% over 60 hrs
