Indie dev uses Opus 5.5 for fishing game development

A solo developer is documenting their progress on a fishing game, now in its 11th week of development. The developer is primarily using Opus 5.5 for coding and other tasks, noting that while it's effective, map creation was subpar and may require a different AI tool. The game has a new prologue with a trailer, and inspirations include Dredge, Creatures of the Deep, Bioshock, and World of Warcraft. The developer has spent approximately $800 on various AI tools for development, including ElevenLabs for SFX, OpenAI API for image generation, TripoAI for character models, and Stable Audio for music.
