Seven-Step Tutorial: Building Games with Claude Opus 5.5, Blender, Unreal Engine, and Meshy

A tutorial on building games using Claude Opus 5.5 with Claude Code, Blender, Unreal Engine 5, and Meshy. Core idea: assign each tool a single responsibility via MCP — Meshy generates props and characters, Blender cleans up and places them, Unreal handles lighting, physics, and the game itself, while Opus coordinates all three in one conversation. Process starts with Opus brainstorming 5 game ideas, then expands one. First full build took ~4 hours and ~19% of weekly Max plan usage; subsequent builds are faster due to asset reuse.
