This game is a great return to the classic arcade shooter, but would it be possible to create a patch that allows for a resolution of 800x600? With an 18" flat screen, 640x480 tends to be a bit larger than one would expect. It's just a suggestion, and I'm sure it's already been requested/suggested.  |

This would only really be possible if Starscape used a 3D engine. Since the game is 2D sprite based it would be impossible to change resolution without redoing all that artwork and much of the code, which would also at least double the download size.
Switching resolution really is something we've all gotten used to because of the 3D era, it's not something you can generally do on any game that is sprite based.
As soon as our R&D department (Goober!) finishes it, we will be switching over to a 3D engine for our games, so any future Starscape game would probably use it. Our next game is going to be sprite based again, however we are targetting the artwork at an 800X600 screen this time. |
