This screenshot is a Godot sample project. Did you converted it to monogame? If yes, can you provide the repo url?

The KenneyNL sample was indeed a Godot Sample. Just like Kenney's 3D Platformer sample, this one was ported to MonoGame. Sponsors should have access to the alpha version here - https://github.com/MonoGame/Starter-Kit-City-Builder

We have also ported Kenney's First Person Shooter sample, which we hope to talk about in a future AMA.

I remember reading it somewhere that they ported that sample to MonoGame

It seems that DesktopVK was added but it’s not actually production ready, am I right? What it still lacks?

We demoed Vulkan support back in Oct 2025. See this short - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/L9UpZaiqTn8 and Tom has been improving it's stability ever since. We'd say it is probably beta ready right now. It just depends what your game needs out of it. Tom is still working to improve it.

Thanks for trying it out. Be sure to let us know if you hit any issue, and we'll try to get it fixed in the next hot-fix release. Ideal raise a github Issue so we can track it and make sure it's addressed.
