I ordered Artocarpus Camansi and what arrived looks nothing like any pictures I ever saw of that species, or Breadfruit or Jackfruit. Does anyone know what actually arrived to my aunt's house in Jalisco?

In the future, it will be easier to build space habitats than to terraform lifeless planets. Once enough people move into them, there will be demand for luxury habitats. I commissioned u/annbb32 to illustrate a scientifically plausible O'Neill cylinder (inspired roughly by Elysium (2013) but hidden out near Pluto instead of conspicuously orbiting Earth) for a text based role-play game I'm in. Because of the spin gravity, flying cars would use less energy than on Earth. The cylindrical shape of the habitat is safer and more efficient than a torus, and artificial lighting combined with controlled weather causing all day overcast skies would make it feel more natural than the Elysium Torus. It's illustrated only partly cloudy to show off the whole habitation cylinder.

I have wanted to make a 3D SimTower-like game since 2008 (back in grade school). I never had the ambition to make my own game from the ground up, always contributing to open source projects or making mods. I went to college and learned programming but I haven't used any of my programming or IT skills much since I became unemployed (and subsequently got a bit of a windfall). I taught myself pixel, vector, and 3D art. I turned my freshman programming project battleship game back in 2016 in C into a simple ASCII SimTower-like demo in C++. I made a board game in Tabletop Simulator and scripted it. I'm not looking to make money per sé, I just want to make my dream into a reality.
What should I do? How should I start? What kind of game engine should I use? This is mostly a passion project but also a way to refresh my skills.
