The project 'Cambrian Games' (cambrian.gg) appears to be an early-stage or stalled 'Scratch with AI' game editor. While the concept of AI-augmented low-code game creation is relevant, the submission suffers significantly from a demonstrably false traction claim ('most people have used my product') and a lack of verifiable recent activity (primary footprint is from ~2023). The gap between the ambitious description and the lack of a live, thriving ecosystem results in a low score.

Description
Cambrian is the place to build, remix and play games. A low-code game editor where everything built expands a growing pool of resources that everyone can benefit from. Through enabling mass participation the possibilities of what can be created will be almost limitless. Similar to how the content of Youtube today would be unthinkable before it's inception, when video creation was controlled by TV and Film studios.
