OUR NOTEA first-person tour of Tidewater, a real-time 3D island with birds, crabs, a whale and a lit dock; the creator says it took about 8 hours of subagent work and holds 60 FPS at 1440p.
Ever wonder what $1874.40 of Opus 5.5 tokens looks like?
Wonder no more.
I highly recommend watching the whole video on 1080p on a large screen with sound on.
Pay attention to all the little details.
- Birds flying and diving into the ocean.
- Cloth, signs and lights swaying in the wind.
- Crabs scuttling along the shore and burrowing when you get close.
- Fish swimming alongside the whale.
- Lights illuminating the dock at night
Then zoom out and see the entire island. Never dipping below 60 FPS at 1440p resolution.
Yes, there's a few bugs and visual artifacts, some textures need improving, the shorelines waves sometimes look funny, but these are so trivial to fix at this point.
FYI I'm on the $200 subscription plan. This used 59% of my weekly usage and took 2h 7h of API time using multiple subagents, about 8h in real-time.
There was extremely little technical direction here. 99% of my prompts were "Add X and Y" or "This looks weird, make it better".
It's a great time for hobbyists, bad time for professionals. This experiment has further cemented my view that technical creatives are about to experience a massive disruption.THE PROMPT
