(Screen size is approximate, I haven't done exact calculations to see how big it would actually need to be. For the large number of people who play on mobile devices it will have no chance of actually being seen. Unless someone is playing with a 40+ inch monitor with better than 4K resolution, the image will be smaller.
The extra resolution would not even be seen, as the images are not viewed in their physical world sizes, but sized to the screen. This extra load time would also translate to lower overall gaming performance even for real-time games, as bandwidth would be dedicated to graphics, rather than game moves.
While the time increase for each individual game may not be that great, the cumulative time (especially for the people who play mostly turn-based games, and load several games in a relatively short period of time) would be significant. The higher resolution images you suggest would greatly increase the loading time for each game. And, "suggestions" was the appropriate forum, since you were suggesting a change to the site.īut, since you are impatient, and need a response. If a response were appropriate, it would have been done. There is no need to post in multiple forums. Especially for older people and/or people with bad eyesight this can be a bigger problem. For me (and I'm sure for others too) beautiful artwork also makes the game more enjoyable.Īnother reason the images should be better quality is because sometimes they have symbols on them which you need to know what they are because they represent something in the game. Now of course you don't play just for the artwork, but you have to consider the game creator did decide to make the artwork beautiful, so it is definitely a part of the game. I think it's sad because these games, and others, have very beautiful artwork. I could post more images, but I think you get the point. You can see examples of this in the link above and I will also give some examples here: So the problem is the images from the games have very, very low resolution, so they are blurry or even have visible pixels. 61&t=14598 but actually it is something that also goes for other games on this site too.
I posted about this in the forum for a specific game here.
