About Pirate Me Ship
Pirate Me Ship is a free-to-play pirate-ship battle royale. You sail a ship, race rivals for island loot and upgrade your cannons, harpoons and equipment, growing from a small ship to a flagship over four levels, while a shrinking safe zone pushes everyone together; the last ship afloat wins. There is a tutorial of about five minutes, offline practice, Quick Match with 30 ships (about 15 minutes) and Battle Royale with 100 ships (just under an hour), and friends in a party of up to eight are put into the same match as rivals. Ships can sink rivals with cannons, hold them with harpoons and board them for their loot. In the App Store version, gold earned in online matches buys cosmetic skins and coin packs are sold as in-app purchases; skins change looks, not strength, and there are no ads. It plays in desktop browsers on itch.io and on the game's own web address, with apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad, and Android. The developer, JC Buenaventura, says the game is built with Claude Code (Claude Opus) for the code, plans and checklists, in Godot 4, with AI image and 3D generation for the art, skins and characters; the game is published under the name RayDevz.
How it was built
Partially verifiedThe description of the developer's video “How To Build A Successful Game As A Solo Dev With AI” (14 Oct 2026) lists “What I used to build the game: • Claude Code (Claude Opus) for the code, plans and checklists • Godot 4 (free, open source) as the engine • AI image and 3D generation for the art, skins and characters • MCP to connect the AI to my tools”, and says the developer is on Claude's Max 20x plan ($200 a month). The video frames the game as a test of whether one person can build and publish a profitable game with AI.
Made in Godot 4 by one developer, who says Claude Code (Claude Opus) wrote the code and the plans and checklists, with MCP connecting the AI to the developer's tools. The art, skins and characters were made with AI image and 3D generation; the developer does not name those tools. The game ships to the web, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and online play needs a network connection; the developer's download page says every match is a full fleet. The developer does not describe any AI service running during play.

“Claude Code (Claude Opus) for the code, plans and checklists”Verification notes: AI use from the description of the developer's video of 14 Oct 2026 on the YouTube channel Learn Ai Dev (read through YouTube's own data on 7 Nov 2026; the video was not watched), which links the itch.io page and names the developer's main channel @the_ai_vice. The description says Claude Code was used “for the code” but gives no share, so none is recorded. Game modes, features and devices from the itch.io page (published 16 Oct 2026, 03:10 UTC), the developer's download page (pirate-me-ship-beta.noirstage.workers.dev, linked from itch.io) and the App Store listing (Apple lookup data, 7 Nov 2026: released 3 Nov 2026, version 0.1.9 of 6 Nov 2026, English, 12+). The Google Play listing (com.raydevz.piratemeship) is linked from the download page; Google Play is not a platform this site lists. The video said the apps were in store review at the time. The itch.io AI disclosure ticks AI Assisted, Code and Graphics. Developer: the itch.io credit names JC Buenaventura; the pages are signed RayDevz and the App Store seller is Ray Devz LLC. The developer also makes AI-tools videos; the video describes a store-page tool of the developer's, which is not part of this record. The Godot web build (about 230 MB) was not inspected for AI calls. The game was not played.
