--

  • Ratio is more important than resolution
  • Actual resolution extremely depents on the artstyle you want to use. -> lowfi-pixelart can be upscaled in any possible manner, other art-style will need a high resolution just right from the start.
  • Pixel-precise game- and level setups vs relative / scalable / ratio ones
  • Strategies to overcome different ratios on end-devices
