- take a guy like me who has no idea about gamedev even in the slightest bit

- let us say i wanted to make a game, i understand i have 2 options 1) make a game with a game engine such as unreal, unity, godot or 2) make a game without a game engine

- what are the tradeoffs for each?

- do you learn how games work if you tried to build a game without an engine

- what are some things that are going to be super duper hard to build without a game engine?

- we are talking specifically about 3d games just to clarify
