Title: High resolution system view
Post by: SirEmi on May 12, 2014, 12:00:31 PM
In preparation for Mysterious encounters / star life, we've generated a new set of system views with 1.5X higher resolution that works better on bigger screens.

You can switch between 1X and 1.5X from the lower right of the "System" view, where it says "Sys map size". Both resolutions will be supported to accommodate different screen sizes.

This update is part of a bigger update that will make the game responsive to different devices and be able to play comfortably from phone, tablets, big screen etc.
It also prepares the way for generating the views in the vicinity of wormholes / black holes. These views may also contain points of interest that could be investigated.

We've also been experimenting with more advanced features in these new system maps with fog trails and nebulae coming out of some stars and mixing up between the planets. Some points of interest / treasure in the upcoming features may be partly hidden with fog to make it harder to spot and my even require closing in to investigate it further...

"Planetary fortress, mining / harvesting facilities" project term has been extended and scheduled for release on Friday, May 16.

I like the artwork in 1.5X mode. some of my systems have some interesting gaseous ouputs from her local star...
