Keep GLES2 Renderer #2573

Closed ca3games closed 3 years ago

ca3games commented 3 years ago

Describe the project you are working on

Retro game.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

GLES2 will be removed, but GLES2 is perfect for some situations like legacy computers and retro consoles.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Would be great if GLES2 could be kept as some limited rendering engine focused on retro hardware and old computers.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

Just keep GLES2 and update it as some "legacy/retro" rendering engine.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

No, It's a core issue.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

No, It's a core issue.
