One-shot Claude-built web AAA game: $550 in API tokens, all textures generated by math functions

felixrieseberg one-shot built a browser-playable AAA-style game with Fable 5.2 (Claude), no human feedback: models, sounds and textures from scratch, 8 hours, 2.7M output and 445M input tokens, $550 at API pricing. @0xTodd's take: textures like wood, rock and water are brute-forced from math functions instead of art assets, so fidelity lags real AAA games and it's ironically more GPU-hungry per frame — but it perfectly suits its cloud-gamer reviewers.
