The full story
Fatherlode is a nod to Motherlode, the addictive 2004 Miniclip Flash game: you dig deeper in a pod, collect ores, sell them and upgrade. Over three weeks with Claude Code the maker has added a tutorial, saves, a stats tree, 250 achievements, 25 ores, over 2,000 metres of depth, NPC dialogue and buildings.
It is still a long way from finished and currently only in French, with the maker now mostly polishing details such as gibberish NPC voices, pixel art consistency and upgrade balance.
