That sounds interesting to me. Did you ever end up posting the code of your engine anywhere? I think others would find the fruits of your labour useful.

Thanks, but I doubt anyone would find it useful apart from the curiosity and novelty of it. It's neither optimized from a performance or development perspective and it lacks visual fidelity (my friends kept reminding me that it looked like Minecraft). I have some videos from way back demonstrating how making a scene could look like (everything was done in-engine):

That's cool. Thanks for sharing :) I think anything created from scratch like this has value from an artistic standpoint.

Good luck with your future endevours!
