Vulkan rewrite has largely been enhancements to the 3D engine, the 2D side will also see several improvements. The main one was performance due to every light being rendered in a separate draw pass. A very requested feature for the 2D engine is the possibility to have 2D directional lights and shadows. Improved Performance.

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).
