Supernova 2: resolution change

August 19th, 2007 Posted in strategy games, supernova 2: spacewar, tycoongames

So I “converted” Supernova 2 into 800×600 and now I must admit that looks much better. You have also to scroll less in the galaxy map screen, which is another positive effect. Now that I think about it, was stupid to start a new game in 2007 using a low resolution like 640×480, expecially for a strategy game. I’m able to put much more information on each single screen now!

A quick update also about my future projects: even if my last post about Tower of Destiny is dated 30th june, I’m still working on that game but a very slow pace, because I’m currently moving from my region to another… anyway, my plan is still to release Supernova 2 before Christmas and TOD before next summer. I really hope to respect those deadlines! :)
