Insane resolutions
August 7th, 2007 Posted in indie lifeI’ve just read the new announcements for the latest Macs. The tech specs are terrifying! but what worried me was the minimum resolution: the 20″ TFT iMac has a minimum resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels!! and it’s the smallest screen available!
That means only one thing… I’ll have to start making games at 800×600 or even better 1024×768. Since new videocard have more VRAM, I think is safe enough to start making larger resolution games, even if that means longer loading times… but seems that 640×480 isn’t viable anymore. I started Supernova 2 at that resolution but I think is better to change it right now, when I’m still in time without having to rewrite too much code!!!
