THE METHOD

BUILT BY ONE PERSON.
POWERED BY AI.

The story is real — the gloves are the only fiction. The AI is just how one person shipped the rest: 2094 pipeline passes, 15 weeks, zero prior coding experience.

Six years to dream it. One stretch of my life to build it.

One person and a disciplined AI pipeline did work a studio quotes in years.

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

Same scope a studio budgets in the hundreds of thousands — delivered solo with AI. The number is proof of the method, not the limit of the ambition.

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.
# 2094 of these built ChampChase.

Every pass: input → execute → verify → record. 2094 times.
