About Mountain Where Disciples Rise
A murim sect-management game with a side-view 2D fighter built in, drawn in two-tone ink on paper with colour only for qi. It is Year 1,302 of the Li Dynasty: you hold an Imperial Charter and an unclaimed mountain, and you build a sect from a single hall into a power the old sects have to reckon with. Halls, fields, mines, a library and a forge go up in real time, so the sect keeps growing while you are away; you recruit disciples, promote them from Outer Disciple to Grand Elder as they break through the realms of cultivation, and teach them manuals found on expeditions or bought from booksellers. When it comes to a fight you control it directly, with light, medium and heavy blows, throws, guards, juggles and over 300 martial arts, according to the developer. Expeditions, trade routes, rival powers and world events fill out the map. The developer, Vegros101, works alone and says on their itch.io profile that they develop their games with help from Claude Code; the game page's AI disclosure says it was developed with Claude and ChatGPT. It plays in the browser on itch.io (name your own price), with a portable Windows build and an Android APK; the page lists it as in development, with a day-one patch, a hotfix and two numbered updates posted between its release on 30 Oct and 3 Nov 2026.
How it was built
Partially verifiedThe developer's itch.io profile, which lists this game, says they develop their games with help from Claude Code and have no team. The game page's AI disclosure says the game was developed “in coordination with claude and chatgpt”, and its itch.io AI tags cover code, graphics, sounds and text (“AI Assisted”). Neither source says which tool did which part, or how much of the code AI wrote.

Solo development with AI help (Claude Code, per the developer's profile; Claude and ChatGPT, per the game page). The developer shipped a day-one patch a few hours after release, which they say came straight from player feedback (much shorter real-time waits, a guided tutorial, practice fights in the Main Hall), then a hotfix and version 0.25.0 the same day (lower memory use, faster loading) and version 0.28.0 on 3 Nov 2026 (town visits played out as short visual-novel scenes).

“Developing video games with help from claude code. I do not have a team, this is an independent operation.”Verification notes: Description, AI disclosure, platforms, files, pricing, status and rating from the developer's itch.io page; publication time (30 Oct 2026, 01:46 UTC) from the page's date data. Claude Code and the no-team statement come from the developer's itch.io profile, which covers the developer's games in general and lists this one; the game page itself says “claude and chatgpt” without naming Claude Code, and ChatGPT stays in the usage text. Features such as the 300 martial arts are the developer's description and were not counted by us. Updates from the four devlogs published 30 Oct to 3 Nov 2026. We did not inspect the game's code for calls to AI services. Downloads are not shown by itch.io. The same developer made Great Expanse: Road to Immortality and Depths Unbound; they are separate games with their own profiles.
