In time, I'm sure it will happen. It's too new to worry about it yet and of too limited a utility to be a priority (soooo few lollipop devices right now). AFAIK the only middleware team to even leverage it yet is Unreal.

as usual you are abselutly right... :wink:
never the less...its very tempting to try since OGRE already supports gl3+ so it might be not such a big work...
but i'm not realy sure of that( java only extention??? )....
any way, much important stuff to do/fix before..., thats for sure...( unless nvidia pays $$$ )
its still hard for me to buy that nvidia campaign about tegra k1 - more powerful then ps3...wonder how long the battery last... :roll:
i lost faith in nvidia after throwing lot of money on their optimus crap-ware...

I just bought one of those tablets by the way. I wanna see it crush my game and maybe add an Ultra graphics setting as a tribute to it

I wont have time for doing anything with android extensions or gles3 though :( The game is almost feature complete so it's too late for "fun" stuff like that. Plus my target hardware is more around the nexus 7 / 4 range.

I'll let you know how the battery holds up while running half life 2 :lol:
