It is still 'for engineers': install an agent, set an API key, run a loop, with fal assets billed per use (about $0.21 per sprite per one review). Mass prosumer layer: gamers who want a mod without a terminal. Product: programmatic SEO from the MIT field notes plus a hosted mod builder.

Jobs to be done

When I have a mod idea but cannot code it, I want an AI builder that outputs a working mod for my game, so I can play my own version tonight.

Construção e go-to-market

Stack tecnológica

Cursor + Vercel + GitHub cesarx2 (one repo); Supabase; Stripe

Canais de GTM

Programmatic SEO game pages (PT-BR/ES/EN), faceless showcase clips; no founder face, no paid ads

Riscos

Principal risco

Publisher IP, anti-cheat, generation cost

Todos os riscos

Value Risk: Attention — Players may do it free with their own agent. Next: Test free guides first. | Usability Risk: Attention — Mod success rate per game varies. Next: Limit to 10 supported games. | Feasibility Risk: Attention — Hosted sandbox and fal cost. Next: Start with guides and sponsor slots. | Viability Risk: Elevated — Publisher IP, anti-cheat and ToS. Next: Single-player games only; legal read.

Próximo passo de validação

Check maintainer plans; 10 SEO game pages test; legal read
