OpenTK
The Open Toolkit library is a fast, low-level C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenAL & OpenCL. It also includes windowing, mouse, keyboard and joystick input and a robust and fast math library, giving you everything you need to write your own renderer or game engine. OpenTK can be used standalone or inside a GUI on Windows, Linux, Mac. (by opentk)

HELP! OpenGL for C#
OpenTK is probably the most known library for that.

A friend sent this to me, before passing away.
I used OpenTK, an OpenGL framework for C# and hacked together a small app that renders a fullscreen textured quad (in this case OP's image) with a shader I found in this article.

Games from scratch
i'd go for OpenTK so you don't have to learn c++ in addition. also one of the most important things is understanding how to communicate with the GPU and for that https://learnopengl.com/ is a great resource. (also creating a 3d engine is not really that much harder than a 2d engine in my opinion)

I need something like Pygame + PyOpenGL or LWJGL, but for C#/.NET

Is it possible to make the keyboard a separate device (like controllers) for local multiplayer?
But OpenTK can, and you can use it within godot if you add it as a C# library with godot C# https://opentk.net/

Software for simple 2D animation user interface
https://opentk.net/ or https://www.libsdl.org/ might be for you

My first attempt to create an octree based LOD system for a blocky planet, still fighting with seams
Thanks! I'm creating an engine (far from being ready for public use) while developing the game based on OpenTK which is pretty much like GLFW for C# (it is a bit more advanced than that though), so yeah pretty much from scratch.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame
