Not trying to shit on anyone, but that screenshot reminds me of 1990s/early 2000's games. I'm sure there has been a ton of work that went into it, but having some better textures or highlighting the usability would go a long way.

Just based on the screenshot, I am not sure that I would even bother to dig too deeply into the library.

The original Vulkan Demos were butt ugly too. Then 2 or 3 years later that super flashy DOOM remake went all-in on it and shut everyone up for a while.

Now look at real 1990s/early 2000’s screenshots. You memory is deceiving you.

This screenshot is far from current AAA games, but there is no way to render such a scene in a game made for 2000 hardware.
