I think the answer is: Yes?

You would still end up either using DirectX or OpenGL as Irrlicht is just a layer over them. You would replace all your graphics calls with Irrlicht calls in your code.

Hi, I'm thinking of creating a game engine that could be used as an 3d-RPG creation system. My idea is based on the orthogonal rendering system and the tile-based rpg system, ie: 3d-tile-based/Cubic-tile-based engine. Hopefully I'll be able to progress along as my Uni work doesn't take too much of my time.
