While this is probably going to be easier in something you wrote, note that it's possible in both Godot (F/LOSS) and Unreal (despite being proprietary they give you access to the source for free when you sign up).

Yeah it’s definitely possible but a lot harder. Working on my own code is easier than someone else’s code. Of course they would say the same.

Collaboration is a really important skill that i work hard to improve. Just not when making video games.
