About The Shattered Isles
The Shattered Isles is a turn-based tactical RPG that runs the Pathfinder Second Edition (Remaster) rules under the ORC licence. A party of heroes explores islands battle by battle, collects treasure and returns to grow a home base. The developer, Pablo of the YouTube channel Lunatic Dice, is a Pathfinder game master who works solo and says the game was built “almost entirely with AI” using a Claude Code workflow with a rules file and about 80 hooks. The developer reported about 750 hours over six months of work when the game was revealed on 22 October 2026. The Steam page lists the game as coming soon, with a pre-alpha trailer and no demo. The game states that it is not endorsed by Paizo.

“My dream Pathfinder 2e RPG game didn't exist. So I made it myself.”Verification notes: AI use and development time come from the developer's posts on r/Pathfinder2e and r/ClaudeCode (22–23 Oct 2026) and the reveal video's description. The posts differ on the duration (six vs five months); both are shown. The workflow summary in the r/ClaudeCode post was, by the developer's own note, written with Claude Code and edited by the developer. The Steam page (app 4941850) says coming soon and offers no demo. Pathfinder is a Paizo trademark; the game uses the ORC licence and says it is not endorsed by Paizo. Engine and location are not stated.
