A GTA 2-style game with a live news helicopter, coded in five hours

Opus 5.5 built the playable prototype entirely in code, with every car drivable plus monster trucks. Three rounds of small revisions added a news helicopter whose live camera feed and reporter cover the police chase.

I asked Opus 5.5 to build a modern GTA 2-style game entirely with code: every car drivable, different vehicle types—including a Cybertruck stolen from @Tesla and monster trucks—and the chaotic mechanics I loved growing up.
Five hours later, it delivered this. I was honestly in shock.
I added the radio music myself since it’s copyrighted, and used Astra to create the Cybertruck model after Claude declined over copyright concerns. After the first delivery, I did about three rounds of small revisions and added a news helicopter with a live camera feed and a reporter covering your police chase.
The result is a playable prototype that I genuinely enjoy playing. GTA 2 was my childhood, and seeing this come together has been so much fun.
I’m making this purely for myself, just to have fun—but I had to share it. 🎮
OPUS 5.5 IS KING!
