If I look at it from a perspective of learning something, I've learned so much over the course of these projects. My understanding of OpenGL is at a point far beyond what I ever even hoped for, and my C++ skills have improved as well, especially with knowing more about modern features of the language. CMake is also less awkward for me now.
I think I my motivation in many ways was trying to make something better than what currently exists. Doing graphics in C++ felt like it had two options--either bare metal or something really high level like Unity--and looking back at it that's not really true. I'm still working on my project, but I think dialing back my expectations and focusing on why I actually want to do it is helping a lot.
