Solo developer runs 50-agent Claude Fable fleet at $122k/month API-equivalent to build 30-year game project
An independent game developer built Wyvern using a self-organized workforce of 50-60 AI agents, led by 18 long-running Claude Fable instances acting as department heads, supported by headless Claude Sol and Opus fleets for implementation and review. The setup burns roughly $122,000 a month in equivalent API usage, though the developer pays only about $5,000 out of pocket by exploiting Claude Max's flat-rate individual pricing across 21 accounts, running everything on a $25,000 secondhand 512GB Mac Studio.
