A Dutch entrepreneur, Pieter Levels, is generating $87,000 monthly from an online flight simulator game, fly.pieter.com, developed entirely with AI. Levels used the Claude 3.7 Sonnet AI model in the Cursor code editor to verbally describe the game, with the AI generating the code.
Launched in February 2025, the game quickly gained popularity, attracting over 320,000 players. Revenue is generated through microtransactions, such as zeppelin advertising and the sale of custom aircraft.
Levels' success highlights AI's potential in game development, demonstrating how entrepreneurs can achieve significant earnings with the right tools and ideas, even without programming knowledge.
