How I failed to finish

How I failed to finish the game in time

Four days. Five Claudes with CLI Rive. Four stories. 51 mistakes. 0 finished games. I've been animating for 20 years. In game dev, I'm still in the tutorial.

With the Rive CLI, the game becomes text: I describe, Claude writes, I watch, I send it back. Repeat until one of us gives up. (Spoiler: never Claude.)

My four days of free time weren't enough, but what a ride. I'm posting the making-of instead of the game, hoping it saves someone a few of my 51 mistakes: references at every step, a hand-drawn storyboard, stills before motion, and finish before you reorganize. (I didn't.)

Hope this will help 🧠
