Agentic Coding: The Future of Game Development (Live Demo)
"What happens when an AI becomes your entire dev team? Watch as we build a complete game from scratch without writing a single line of code - just having a conversation with Claude Code while you direct the action.
YOU control the creative process: vote on game mechanics, suggest features, choose themes, and even name the final boss.
We'll speedrun game development through pure conversation, testing whether AI can handle everything from ""add power-ups"" to ""make it two-player.""
Every audience member becomes a game designer as we discover just how far natural language programming can go. Come see the future of game development where creativity matters more than syntax, and watch your ideas come to life in real-time."
