Summary
According to a post on X by @Stefan_3D_AI, the developer made a Unreal Engine 5 game in four days using only free AI tools. He says the AI generated 26 props and two characters, and that ragdoll physics, checkpoints and NPCs are working in the game. He reports spending $0 on AI and states that he still rigged the characters, built the level and fixed bugs himself. The post links to a full breakdown of the process, which the snippet does not describe in detail.

Why it matters
Developers and small studios may find this useful as a concrete example of how far free AI tools can reach in producing game assets, though the author says manual work was still required. Anyone weighing AI tools against paid pipelines should check the linked breakdown for the exact workflow and limits. The post's engagement is modest, so it is best treated as a single developer's account rather than a broad trend.
