OpenGL or Vulkan API thoughts

I think the most necessary thing at the moment is to transfer IndiEngine from Direct X to OpenGL, because this will open up many opportunities for us, for example, a version for smartphones. Curious what others think of this.

Android is really a pretty sweet spot. There you can quickly distribute our project, and unlike Steam, there are no special problems there, for example, you don’t have to pay a lot of money to upload the game. I also think that all efforts should be made to transfer the engine to OpenGL.

Yes, I think about OpenGL, because Direct X limits the engine in many ways, starting at least from the impossibility of multiplatforming and ending with a non-free license

By the way, is Vulkan API not being considered? After all, a worthwhile thing, even cooler than OpenGL, if you think so.

Vulkan API really shouldn't be overlooked, you rightly pointed it out. Now applications that support it are more popular among owners of not the most powerful video cards. Well, the very quality of the picture from Vulkan API is better than from OpenGL.
