Lately I'm obsessed with the intersection of the two: autonomous AI agents that write code, orchestrate like Agile teams, and build games on their own.
A multi-agent orchestrator modelled after real Agile teams: agents plan, build, and review autonomously. Now rewritten ground-up as a Go binary with a Claude Code subprocess runtime and persistent memory.
| An MCP plugin for Unreal Engine 5 that lets AI agents drive the editor: spawn actors, wire Blueprints, build levels and UMG, and stand up a whole playable game loop from a single prompt.

Git-based source control for game studios, bring your own storage. Cheap blobs, zero egress, and Perforce-grade file locking for Unreal & Unity.

I'm always up for a chat about distributed systems, game dev, or letting AI agents run wild.
Reach me at jannik811@gmail.com or on LinkedIn.
Until then, I'll be drinking wine with my cats and building games. Cheers.
