TOPIC: Low resolution games

Low resolution games 5 days 14 hours ago #3753

Hello,

Is it possible to have games run in low resolution? I would like to have a low-res "DOOM"-like look, where the game runs at 320x180 or 640x360 resolution. The closest thing I can find in the editor is the "video mode" resolution setting under "Settings > Graphics Settings", but changing this does not seem to affect the game resolution at all.

Thank you.

Hi RootBound,

Great question! A low internal render resolution (render scale) isn't supported in Cyberix3D at the moment — the game always renders at the window's native resolution. The Video Mode setting under Settings > Graphics Settings controls the display/window mode, not the internal rendering resolution, which is why changing it doesn't give you the low-res effect you're after.

That said, it's a great idea! We've added it to our plans and intend to support a retro low-res render mode (e.g. 320x180) in a future update — note that it will be available for exported games only.

In the meantime you can get part of the retro look today:
* Use low-resolution textures.
* Set smooth="0" (and optionally mipmap="0") on your Materials — this switches to pixelated texture filtering instead of smooth filtering:
