Bro learned two languages, making a font, hyper model optimization and tracking optimization, terrain generation and an upgrading system in three weeks. The brother is non-human.

[@Cauliflower4life]

it wasn’t actually 3 weeks, youtubers always add some time crunch to make it more interesting but it’s impressive none the less

[@wheezeo3o681]

Belief is key

[@3v1l73ddy]

Honestly, dude probably did do this in three weeks but doubtful he learned two whole languages. He just learned what he needed for this project. As for the font, it's fairly basic so again wouldn't have taken too long to make. Very impressive and maybe I'm coping by believing the time limit but it seems pretty believable to me honestly. I've seen some super impressive stuff for first games and like, jams and stuff.
