    He said he hired a Unity programmer for an afternoon to make a proof of concept. Why did his GAME STUDIO need to do this? They don't have someone who can whip up a proof of concept in Unity? Then how did they make the game? Is their "company" just a brain trust that contracts out work? I don't get it.

      OK, finished the vid. So they're web dev guys who abstracted all the game code to php and were just learning Unity. That's surprisingly unique.

      So much about this video is so cringe-worthy. Kinda never learned new technologies so just built it all in web with Paint Shop Pro 9 and drawing it all with pen and paper? Refuses to use git?
      I don't know man...
