Well it's a hobby project not an AAA game. I did 3d graphics too even some shaders for commercial projects (not games - enhanced vision devices for partially blind people). I did some basic (archais by now) 3d rendering techniques (BSP trees, portals, quadtrees) in my hobby games. I don't think one is inherently harder or more cool than the other. You can look at Dwarf Fortress for gameplay/quest/dialogs and Cyberpunk 2077 for graphic, and it would be as cool and hard as each other IMHO.
