Hi guys, am getting started with MonoGame and as i followed tutorial it says that i should use MonoGame Cross-Platform Desktop Application , which does not appear in the monogame templates. Only available options are shown in the screenshot.
You can use either. With the recent release of v3.8.5, MonoGame now has a Vulkan-based backend for cross-platform desktop. Any existing tutorials or anything would be referring to the tried-and-true OpenGL version, which used to be the only cross-platform backend simply referred to as “MonoGame Cross-Platform Desktop Application”, now renamed to differentiate it from the new Vulkan build.
After some more use/maturity, it is expected that the Vulkan backend will eventually overtake the OpenGL one as the go-to cross-platform MG framework.
