Live Game Development Workshop - Aleksey Komissarov
​
​What if you could build a working game - with art, sound, and mechanics - without writing a single line of code by hand?

​In this live workshop, we'll do exactly that. Starting from a rough idea, we'll build a small 2D game from scratch - art, sound, music, mechanics - using Claude Code and a handful of AI tools, all in real time. No prior programming experience required. No frameworks. No setup hell. Just an idea, a conversation, and 90 minutes.

​But this isn't just a tech demo. We'll also talk honestly about what's actually happening when you "vibe code" - what you gain, what you lose, and why the shift from writing code to directing a creative process is harder and stranger than it looks.

​We'll cover:

  • ​Setting up a vibe coding session: context, tools, and the right mindset
  • ​Live game development with Claude Code — from concept to playable prototype
  • ​Why specification matters more than syntax in the AI era
  • ​Why you need to experience AI failures, not just hear about them
  • ​How to stay in control when the machine moves faster than you think

​By the end, you'll have seen a real game built live, understand the actual workflow behind vibe coding, and have a clearer sense of where human judgment still matters most.

​This workshop features Claude as a live voice co-instructor — not a tool in the background, but an active participant in the conversation.
