MCP + Godot = Night Shift

I grew up on LucasArts adventure games: the verb panel across the bottom, the sentence line that builds itself as you click, the sense that every object in the room would say something back if you asked it nicely.

So I wired Claude Code to a running Godot editor with Godot MCP Pro, pointed it at an empty project, set a goal, and went to bed.
