Need heavy criticism on GTA style game

So basically to start with::
this has been a project i’ve been working on and off since mid 2022. ( i sold the pc i had about a year and a half ago so stopped for a year)
I feel like I’m not making very good progress mostly due to me not being good at using blender. I feel I’m a good ish scripter so that’s not the problem to me.
The “game” is loosely supposed to be based on GTA6 ( I started progress when GTA6 first got leaked)

The map is supposed to resemble just about a 1:10 scale of Miami. I have made zero progress with that besides the scaling of the terrain and a very small portion of ocean drive.

So here’s a video of the gameplay and what’s currently included.

To list off a few things in the video:
In depth projectile system including; bullet ricochet, bullet penetration, bulletholes & particles, etc. the white line just after it hits something is how far the bullet can penetrate into that object. All of the penetration values are based on realistic data I found on the internet and so much complex math. There is also a drag coefficient to slow the bullet down and lose energy overtime either in the air or after hitting something.
XP and Money system, not very indepth but the base of it is there so far.
inventory system which you can see at the start of the video when i do “/additem 32”, that just adds how ever many bullets as just a test thing.
Day night system, nothing crazy, changes the visuals of the lighting and activates street lights or building interior lights (just turns the windows from glass to neon so far), I don’t think you can really see that in this video though.
Custom sprite sheet system I made years ago just using a flip book image. (as seen in the bottom left corner)

All of the objects except the gun and the cars are made by me. Nothing all that impressive however.

I mainly just want criticism on what could be better and what I could do to actually make good progress. I just have very little motivation due to my skills at blender, something I’ve been trying to get good at for like 3 years now, but I’m at a standstill.

EDIT: Sorry for how long this is. I don’t really know how to format these good.

This is a pretty good game that I think I would enjoy.

The only thing I don’t like is the red lines when you shoot the gun.

Keep up the good work your amazing. :smiley:
