How it works
- Having never made a game, he built a three.js flight game in the browser with Cursor, playable from a link
- He posted progress on X as he went, and players followed
- Blimps and hot air balloons in the game became ad space, sold to brands by the month
- Live multiplayer and other features came later to keep players around
Could we copy it?
Hard to copy Technically it is easy to copy. The money came almost entirely from his reach on X: players and advertisers came because of him. Later reports give conflicting figures.
