    Dude if this is all in 6 months.. you have an amazingly bright future ahead of you!
  • My god, this is a lot of dedication for both unreal and blender, I started blender recently but have been doing unreal for 2 years and I still can’t do half the things you’ve done
  • @Tenchinu
    I cannot believe you learned, experimented, and implemented all of these different softwares in just 6 months... that's insane! the progress and speed are so good! double subscribe
  • @Hippoman19
    Wow amazing progress! I’ve been wanting to learn unreal for a long time, these kinds of videos really give a ton of motivation!

  • @LazyAlarm
    Amazing progress for just 6 months! I’m excited to see how far you go.
  • @pranaypanda5146
    Unbelievable dedication. Great work. That part where you said that boredom is the enemy and doing something you really enjoy I think it is one of the main reason towards your progress.
  • @loop8946
    This is absolutely awesome, glad I ran across your video and channel.

    Huge respect on the progress you have made! Learning UE5 currently and this video sure helps a lot on how to tackle the problem of learning the engine.
  • @brad8803
    Looks great. Very inspiring. Been dipping into unreal and blender as well. Love the look, love the dedication. Congrats on what you've made and learned so far!

  • @Glorb1
    The progress is amazing and it’s been fun keeping up with the game.
  • @dbeast270
    I just started my first game project on Unreal Engine and this video really motivates me to keep it going! I really like the way you tackled every stage of the development and how it came out so far. I can see the passion on your video and thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have a talent for it 🔥
  • @Cjoudan
    This is awesome, i hope to get to your skill level! Seems like you have great follow through on the game.
  • @steve_rico
    This is really inspirational and your learning philosophy to avoid burnout is spot on. Stay interested, stay motivated. The assumption everyone is able to follow a linear learning track is very dated. Best of luck with the game, it's on my wishlist!
  • @Munkybunky
    Thanks for the video as it has inspired me to try Unreal and have a go! Your game looks really professional already.
  • @MeelsYT
    Great video bro I really appreciate the open and honest advice, Good luck with your game :3
