THE METHOD

BUILT BY ONE PERSON.
POWERED BY AI.

176,482 lines of code. 1392 pipeline passes. 15 weeks. Zero prior coding experience.

~100x more cost-efficient than a typical small studio.

THE PIPELINE

6 AI terminals. Running in parallel. Non-overlapping file locks. One human coordinator.

Terminal 1 — FightEngine

Terminal 2 — CampaignManager

Terminal 3 — UIManager

Terminal 4 — AudioController

Terminal 5 — SaveManager

Terminal 6 — ContentValidator

6 TERMINALS. 114 PASSES. 24 HOURS. (One burst day.)

THE REAL COST

Traditional studio vs. one person with AI.

	Traditional Studio	ChampChase
Team Size	15-30 people	1 person + AI
Engineering	2-3 devs × $150K = $300-450K	AI code gen ($200/mo)
Art	1 artist × $80K	PixelLab (~$50)
Music	1 composer × $70K	Suno (~$30)
Voice Acting	1 sound designer × $70K	ElevenLabs (~$50)
QA Testing	$100K-300K/yr	AI pipeline ($0)
Timeline	6-12 months	15 weeks
Total	$550K - $1M+	~€800

100x cost efficiency. Same output.

WHAT ONE PASS LOOKS LIKE

Snapshot of an iteration. Inputs in. Working game out.

Pipeline Pass — Sample

$ Pipeline kicks off another pass.
$ Inputs: requirements + current state.
$ Outputs: working code, tests passing,
  state updated, history logged.

# Result: a fix that survives QA.
# 1392 of these built ChampChase.

Every pass: input → execute → verify → record. 1392 times.
