Me and @shiftrox are currently working on Horizon Forge (@horizon-forge), an auto-battler strategy game built on Hive, and this pilot program is exactly what we need to scale our development.
We are currently in the middle of a massive refactor to transform the game into a deep RPG ecosystem. In the last few days alone, using AI assistance, we've implemented:
- A new 72-point RPG attribute system (STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA) for all heroes.
- A complete Gear and Inventory UI with sliding tabs and dynamic stats.
- A procedural item engine (Chaos Motor) that uses AI to generate unique names and lore for drops.
The next phase involves heavy database migration and complex combat logic (d20 system and proportional penalties). Having a Claude Code subscription would be a massive force multiplier for us to reach our MVP faster and deliver a high-quality product to the Hive community.
I'll be preparing a full application post shortly with our GitHub links and progress shots. Thanks for pushing this forward.
We're focused and really excited about everything we can add to the game! Thanks for making this happen, Edu
