boat powers 100-VM game design

The compelling idea is treating game design as population-based optimization: agents explore mechanics in parallel while humans select the strongest results.

• –Full VMs can run editors, browsers, local servers, and test builds in isolation.
• –Forkable snapshots make it easy to branch promising experiments into many variants.
• –At boat’s listed $0.036/hour rate, 100 default VMs cost roughly $3.60 per running hour before model costs.
• –Parallelism only helps if the evaluator can measure fun, balance, and novelty rather than reward exploitable loops.
• –boat supplies the infrastructure; the real moat will be the game-generation workflow and playtesting feedback system.
