One spot, one gun, a growing wave, a box of ammo you have to reach. Hold, fail, move the box. The shooter game maker is the shooting. The box is the strategy.

The sentence you type
"Make a horde shooter. Start with one position, one weapon and a growing wave."
The brief the AI writes back
First playable: one position, one weapon and a growing wave. The loop to get right: hold, shoot, resupply, survive the wave.
Build, play, adjust
Compare with the games that define the genre: Left 4 Dead 2 (Valve, 2009), Deep Rock Galactic (Ghost Ship Games, 2020) and Helldivers 2 (Arrowhead Game Studios, 2024).
What makes it finished
A wave can wipe you, a resupply can save the next one, and standing in the wrong place can waste both.
