    Sorry to get hung up on what is probably just flavor text, but the first sentence.. "Agents can oneshot games that are actually fun", uhhh such as?

    Would love to be proven wrong here, feels like I've just seen the same basic one-level kart racer in like 3 model announcements. Not even sure if they were one-shotted, I certainly would not describe them as "fun"

      As someone who builds games, particularly games meant to be played in the browser or apps, it can 100% one-shot a game-like experience, but it will not be very good.

      You need to playtest the hell out of games. Play a bit, iterate, play a bit more, iterate, etc. You will get way better results if you start small and don’t try to one-shot it. Start small, vertical slice, playtest, and go fro there.
