About Kiosk Days: St. Martin's Evening
A short pixel-art shop-management game set in a German village in the days before St. Martin's evening. Around 11 November, children walk through the streets at night with paper lanterns they made themselves, St. Martin rides ahead on a white horse, a brass band plays, adults carry torches, and at the end everyone stands around a big bonfire; afterwards the whole village wants hot cocoa, coffee and a Weckmann, a sweet bread man. You run the kiosk on the village square and have five days to get ready. You order stock from three wholesalers (an expensive instant courier, next-morning delivery or a bargain warehouse that takes three days), buy a cocoa machine and set it up, find prices customers will accept, serve them at the till and avoid overstocking fresh food that spoils. On the evening the parade passes, the bonfire is lit and the families come to your door, and you are scored bronze, silver or gold on how many get what they came for. It plays with the keyboard (mouse control is optional) or on a phone or tablet held sideways, and saves in the browser at the end of each day. The solo developer, Michael Warlich of KiGaRo Games, says all of the code is GDScript in Godot 4.7 written by Claude in Claude Code from the developer's descriptions and feedback after each playtest; Claude also wrote the Python programs that draw every sprite and generate most of the sound and music, while the ideas, design decisions and testing are the developer's. It is one evening from the developer's larger shop game Kiosk Days, with the St. Martin's content made new for AI Browser Game Jam 5 (theme: Torch). Free in the browser on itch.io, in English and German.
How it was built
Partially verifiedThe jam answer says Claude Code by Anthropic (Claude Opus) was used for everything AI-made in the game: all of the GDScript in Godot 4.7, written by Claude from the developer's descriptions and feedback after each playtest; the pixel art, with no image generator, as a Python (Pillow) program Claude writes for every sprite that draws it pixel by pixel in a fixed house style, reviewed by the developer; most of the sound and music, generated by Python (numpy) scripts Claude wrote; a simulator that plays the scenario many times to measure the medal thresholds; and drafts of the German and English texts, edited by the developer. The ideas, design decisions and testing are the developer's. The itch.io page describes the same split and calls Claude the developer's AI assistant.
- Developeritch.io page, “How it was made”: “I'm a solo developer and made this with Claude (Anthropic) as my AI assistant, in Godot 4.” and “Code: written by Claude, from my descriptions and my feedback after every test.” — itch.io
A one-person Godot 4.7 project. Claude, in Claude Code, wrote all of the GDScript from the developer's descriptions and playtest feedback, plus Python programs that draw each sprite pixel by pixel (no image generator was used) and scripts that synthesize most of the sound and music, such as the brass band playing a St. Martin's song, the parade and the crackling fire. A Claude-written simulator plays the scenario over and over so the medal thresholds are measured. One recorded cash-register sound by kiddpark (Freesound, CC BY 4.0) and the Patrick Hand font (SIL Open Font License) are credited. Made for the jam as a new evening of the developer's existing game Kiosk Days: the St. Martin's evening, hot cocoa and its machine, Weckmänner, the scenario and a new touch interface are new.

“Code: all GDScript in Godot 4.7, written by Claude from my descriptions and feedback after each playtest.”Verification notes: Gameplay, controls and AI use from the developer's itch.io page (published 27 Oct 2026, 19:52 UTC; updated 30 Oct 2026, 17:00 UTC; status Released; HTML5; genre Simulation; made with Godot) and the AI Tools Used answer on the official AI Browser Game Jam 5 submission page, both re-read on 5 Nov 2026. The jam answer names Claude Code (Claude Opus); the itch.io page says Claude. “All GDScript” is the developer's wording; no percentage is given, so no AI code share is recorded. Team size 1 and the developer's name from the page (“I'm a solo developer”; “A game by Michael Warlich”). The jam rules allow continuing an existing project only if most of the submission is new; the page lists what was made new for the jam, and the full Kiosk Days is a separate game on the same itch.io account. The page is in English and German, the jam answer says the texts and translations are German and English, and German game text is present in the web build (observed). The game's Godot data makes no calls to AI services. The developer's home town, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, and its bonfire tradition are mentioned on the page. Submissions closed on 31 Oct 2026 and voting runs until 7 Nov 2026 (04:00 UTC), so no placement is recorded. On 5 Nov the submission page showed 17 jam ratings (observed; jam votes, not players or reviews, so not recorded as a metric). itch.io shows no public rating and no download count. The game was not played.
