Could you build this?
No Unreal Engine is a massive AAA game engine built over decades by hundreds of specialized graphics and systems engineers.
What it would actually take: Requires deep C++ systems engineering, low-level GPU rendering APIs (DirectX, Vulkan), and complex physics/shader architectures like Nanite, Lumen, and MegaLights. A team of world-class computer graphics researchers and engine architects with millions in R&D budget is required.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
