Kirs1990 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 The title explains itself. I'm making a Pokemon Engine with Game Maker. That is, I dont have Windows forms, so programming the editor to work being resizable is a pain in the ass. Or two. Currently, the editor is at 1024x768, the first res I used to start building it and test it. But after use it a lot fot like a real end-user instead of just testing, it felt very very small. Some help here would be welocome. Which resolution would be the best? Should I assume most people have 1080p monitor? At the end, I'll try to make it resizable, but for now, I need to focus on funcionality, while trying also to make it comfortable to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouder Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 This is a Sonic Fangame site. Why are you asking about Pokemon here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirs1990 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 The fact that is related to Pokemon have nothing to do with the question. This thread is to ask for people who play games opinion on certain matter, more than a certain knowledge. If the mods thinks this is not appropiate, then they will delete the thread.

Apricity Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I really don't think the thread would be a problem but then again I'm not a mod. The size you listed seems adequate, perhaps just add Game Maker's inbuilt full screen feature as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirs1990 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I will enable full screen in the future, sure. But I wanna know what is the best resolution to use in windowed mode, because the one I'm using seems too small : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirs1990 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thank you. I think I'm gonna stick with 1366x768, as it seems is the minimum resolution of all monitors out there. Maybe in the future I'll make a 1080 version, to have both aspect ratios, but I cant make it resizable, or allow the player to choose the desired resolution, that requieres soooooo much work (almost rewrite the entire editor) to make it not look bad as hell.
