2023-01-29: Render Scaling, New Map


This update introduces resolution-independent rendering for the game world and proper resolution-based scaling for the HUD and User Interface. These two new features should provide a more consistent experience for players regardless of the display they are using. Additionally, a new map, Docks, is now available.

Full Changelog


General

  • Added
    • Support for resolution-independent rendering. The game world now renders at 2 fixed sizes depending on the aspect ratio of the currently selected resolution. The primary purpose of this feature is to make the visible area around the player more consistent across different resolutions, as some larger resolutions would reveal nearly half the map. This does not apply to the map editor.
    • Support for resolution-based UI and HUD scaling. The UI and HUD will now scale to reasonable sizes across different resolutions. This does not apply to the map editor.
    • UI sound effects. These generally play when hovering over and clicking on elements.
    • Docks map.
  • Changed
    • Improved the look and animation of the damage screen flash effect.
    • Updated the armor kit texture to be consistent with the icons used in various areas of the user interface.
