What base resolution do you use? At what resolution you create all the assets?

Well, to start with you have the High Dpi setting under Display in game.project:

“Creates a high dpi back buffer on displays that support it. Typically the game will render in double the resolution than what is set in the Width and Height settings, which will still be the logical resolution used in scripts and properties.”

This gives you two options:

1. Use high_dpi and set game.project to half the resolution and scale game objects
2. Don’t use high_dpi and set game.project to full resolution and let the render script scale everything (default behaviour)

What is a proper way to handle textures on universal app for high and low res devices

There is currently no atlas/texture selection mechanism based on retina/low res. The easiest path now is to use a large texture and scale it down. Make sure you tick the “high_dpi” setting in the game project and the engine will create a hi-res buffer where the graphics are drawn on devices that support it. If you want to create different versions depending on screen size you will currently need to set that up with some off-line build pipeline. We have a ticket in our backlog to start working o…

How High Dpi and Retina screens work (SOLVED)

I’m new to Defold and trying to understand how to get high res graphics for Retina screens working. For example when using a standard game object with a sprite attached - how do I set it up to use a double sized sprite (and scale down)? I cant find any way to set the size of the actual sprite.
