Screen resolution

[Pidesco]

With the game being done with 2D backgrounds, I was wondering how the game will support multiple resolutions. Will it work like the IE games or will there be differently sized versions of the backgrounds to accommodate for higher resolutions?

 

An this reminds me of another important issue; will there be fog of war?

Ooh another good question, what about multiple monitor support? It would be nice if someone with a dual monitor setup (or triple monitor, like myself) could view the game in one monitor and have immediate and instant access to the inventory and character stats in the other window.

Well hopefully the engine will support 1920x1080 as a baseline. Wondering more if multi-monitor setups will be in this as well....

[Pidesco]

Obviously, 1080p will be in. But how will the game look and play in a 16:10 monitor? Or in a 1440p monitor.

Hmm...as long as nobody tries to make a console version, I think resolutions are not a big problem.

They could keep everything drawn at one high resolution(for example for use at 1920x1080 or 2560x1600) and resize or supersample for lower resolutions.

 

Doesn't do anything for when higher resolution displays come around of course. Not like the game will look bad upscaled to 7680x4320 though.

That's what I'm hoping. but that still leaves the question of whether the game will be letter-boxed in non-16:9 monitors.

well being a mod and all, you should have enough access to see if Steve Weatherly (one of the game engineers) is somewhere around in the forum and and send him a pm asking for details.
