You cannot make even a playable prototype for a major game in 6 months.

Notice the most time-consuming part of filmmaking is the 3D graphics, which is similar to making games. A film without much 3D graphics is made within a year.

"major" is doing a lot of heavy lifitng here. It would be in the same ballpark for a "major" film.

Totally, and you are still underestimating the work a "major" film takes. It seems like you keep comparing a "major" game to a "minor" film. Stardew valley was created by a single human being. 3D graphics was not involved in that process either.
