I'm so glad that @caseynewton.bsky.social spoke so enthusiastically about how he built his website with Claude Code. Because I felt the same way about Gemini 3 Pro. I also built myself a new website and was thrilled — and almost felt silly for being so enthusiastic about it. michaelfoertsch.de

The game tackles some very interesting sci-fi themes (which are echoed in Alien Earth btw).
