Agreed, either the interns, recent graduates or the CAD technicians do the computer assisted drafting and linework.Problem is the “hardcore specifics” is 99% of CAD/CAE software. Knowing how to use the various restrictions the software has to make the maths it does possible and still make what you need is the bit you learn. It’s why people specialise because different software does things slightly differently.
Without the nonsense that comes with facilitating the maths you’re just using Microsoft Paint.
Don’t get me wrong he could make more interesting engineering mini games but modern design software is weird in that is such bespoke software nothing of value comes from imitating it. You wouldn’t learn anything.
total side note... if you’re actually interested in this kinda shit the software is largely free. Hobby licenses exist for all major programs and it’s easy to learn to the point engineers don’t really do their own CAD work (at least in my field). I haven’t in years, we hire technicians who need no qualifications just experience.
When it comes to the game, I guess he could always look up generic floorpans for the mini games, but I personally don't think it's worth the hassle, even though, if done correctly, it could be kinda interesting. Depends of how original the mini-game turns out to be.
