Dont kid yourself, this engine is probably mostly a learning tool, but make games alongside the development of the engine.

That's my approach as well. I spent the better part of two years building a 2D engine, but i did it with a specific game in mind. In fact, the engine was born from the game. I ripped out all the game-specific code and turned it into its own library. No i'm planning on using for a different project.
Having a game project gives your engine project some direction. Consider doing both in tandem.
