I've been working on a videogame project for the better part of a year now (a construction and management sim inspired by Factorio, Stardew Valley and similar games, combining concepts and mechanics from all of them), writing my own engine on top of SDL2. It's not the most original idea and I doubt it will ever actually see the light of day but the main point of this project was to get into C++ (coming from Java) and I think it served its purpose very well. In reality it didn't cost me anything but I technically "wasted" many thousands of dollars of my time on it...
