Two 9-year-olds wrote a game design doc and Claude built it
Two nine year olds wrote the design doc in a notebook: a little slice of watermelon lives in a happy town, meets a lemon who warns him an army of germs is coming, and is told to go to the market that sells weapons. That is the entire spec. It became Le Royaume des Pepins - you play the watermelon, you purify the kingdom, you take down the germs.
What makes it work is that nobody translated the kids out of it. The notebook page was typed in close to verbatim instead of being rewritten into proper design language first, and their drawings drove the art direction, so the characters look like theirs rather than like generic AI fruit. The core verb came from asking her what the watermelon actually does - she said purify, and everything got built around that. Her dad's note is the best part: a nine year old playing for thirty seconds and saying "the germs are too slow" is a better bug report than most he has had from adults.
