I created this engine because I wanted to create a 3D real-time engine and also for learning purpose. I want to understand how the underlaying systems are working and it gave me a deep understanding how modern game engines are working (more or less, I think I got the raw basics).
My personal opinion is simply: Learn everything you can! As more knowledge as I can get is
important to have the an understanding what is going on at every field of game dev.
Sadly the project is cancelled because of the time complexity and compatibility issues.
