video chunk ≠ functional videogame

So if I start now, I might end up finishing around the same time as someone who begins two weeks before I wrap up. With tech evolving so fast, I fear it’s going to get harder for people to stay motivated for long projects.

Brilliant 🤩 and thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous
