Stefan 3D AI

Stefan plays through games his viewers built with AI, from a cozy fishing game Claude made through Blender MCP to a 1920s fishing-and-smuggling game one dev has been building with Claude for 11 weeks. The good part is he asks each builder how they did it and what it cost, then says what he'd do differently.
