Veteran dev builds flight MMO with Claude in a week — 1.5k DAU and 100 paying subscribers
eeenmachine · reddit · 2026-11-06
A 20-year veteran game developer says Claude helped him build in one week the casual flight MMO he'd failed to prototype for nearly a decade. It now has 100 paying subscribers and 1.5k daily active users. Claude handled modeling the world and 10k+ airports, realistic live-data weather/wind/lighting simulation, cheap hosting infra with player/liveops management, and both web and native clients. Live at pilots.nimblebit.com, and surprisingly popular with real-world pilots. He calls it the most fun he's had in 20 years of game dev.
