A way to resize ingame gfx & text pls???

[ikkiyakki]

Pretty please, add a way to scale the graphics up! I have a weak eyesight and a large monitor, Im not gonna change my desktop resolution all the time just to play this little distraction game, though it seems nice in all the other ways. I think it should be an easy task? Or am I missing smth?

Doesn't seem to be any option - it is totally unplayable at high resolutions (2560x1600) or on a big TV at 1080. I don't understand devs fascination with making their fonts and UI as microscopic as possible. I guess you can force your desktop resolution to something super low every time you want to play this title? Nah.

One of my friend had this problem, because he is playing on his TV. The solution that was found was to change the size of text in Windows.

You can change the size of the text without changing the current resolution.

On Windows 7, you just have to go in the Control Panel, then Display. There, you can boost the size of texts to 125% or 150%.

If that can help.

Yes, of course we're fascinated with that :P

More like, we had to make the game fit into browser windows back in 2013. And we haven't yet made it scale up nicely. Doesn't mean we won't. Thank for your patience, Cheers!

Ah thanks for replying anyway. 'Devs' was aimed more in general and not at you specifically, there have been quite a few games with this problem lately including some 'AAA' ones that should know better. Become a bit of a pet peeve. I think just adding a screen resolution selection would go a long way. Interestingly, Steam is one of the worst offenders - they have the Big Picture mode which is nice, but the default interface has terribly small fonts that aren't changeable by normal means. I used to manage a team that did UI dev so I'm always surprised it isn't more of a priortiy. I'll keep an eye on the game and take another look if you get it fixed up. Cheers!

As a time-challenged gaseous entity with a large monitor, I would like to add my support to the Text and Graphics Scaling party. Thank you and keep up the hard work!

I could really do with text scaling too. It is crazy small on my TV. Also, maybe a way to zoom in on the stages a little.

I am neither gaseous or poor-eyesighted, but I also have a big monitor and need to get really close to it to read the messages and texts.

I'd love to have some scaling/rezising/font size options :)

[this99999]

this is a really nice game and i think dev team is very trusted.
the only thing annoying me is a text size. i'm not good at english and the small text make it more difficult to read.
really want a option for ui size or resolution.

[lobstermadness]

Have to agree with the OP: the folnts are too tiny on higher res displays. I can see the fonts but it isnt comfortable.

[ThreeDayBeard]

Throwing in my plea for the same. I'd really love to play this game, but my eyesight makes it impossible. Everything is just too small. I hope that one day they will have the ability to scale everything, text and graphics to very large size.

[Evil Hamster]

Please fix this I also have a hard time reading the microscopic text.

[lobstermadness]

FWIW, i uninstalled the game because of the tiny fonts. Hope the devs patch this in at some point.

[poictesme]

Not going to happen, that fact has been clearly stated.
All them tiny fonts in the game are bitmap, and that is why
they scale so badly when you change the resolution.
Having a dev changing a bitmap asset is the hardest thing
in the universe, like 10 to the minus googol chances of
happening, especially when the game in question is years
past release. As for myself, I will not buy one of their games
ever again, don't appreciate their lack of professionalism.

[lobstermadness]

oh shoot -- good to know -- thet devs sholdnt be using bitmaps for thier text boxes.

The game having its own resolution setting would do the trick.

I think the point was that it wouldn't scale well even with that since they are bitmapped. I gave up on this game as it was clear they weren't going to fix it. Honestly, the 'fit into browser windows back in 2013' doesn't really fly - even my tablet had a 1080 screen 3 years ago. I'm going back to my original belief that they are just fascinated with tiny UI elements - or more likely don't have a clue about proper UI development. So it goes.
