To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

Project mention: Unity Software plans to reduce its workforce by 25%, eliminating ~1,800 jobs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-10In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.

Flax (MIT/C++) https://github.com/FlaxEngine/FlaxEngine
A couple other options than what has been suggested so far: - TerraFX.Interop.Windows. Raw, blittable, 1:1 bindings for all Win32, D2D/D3D11/D3D12 APIs (there's also a version with Vulkan bindings). As close to doing #include as you can get in C#. This is my personal favorite, I use it in my own ComputeSharp library, and transitively we use it in the Microsoft Store too 🙂 - Silk.NET another version of high-performance bindings, more opinionated than TerraFX and with some additional helpers to make it a bit easier to use.
Project mention: Unhandled SEHException when running OpenTK project - What am I doing wrong? | /r/opengl | 2023-06-25Open a new issue on Github. Include all of this, and provide info on your OS and GPU.
I'd recommend Veldrid
Another option if you don't want to implement it yourself though is to use an already built library. I've been playing with YarnSpinner a little bit recently and I'm liking it so far. I can't give much more details than that, but it's maybe worth a look. At least for some reference.
For C#, I've found Arch, which looks pretty much like what I need. I would use it with MonoGame.
