220 Food Sprites in 16x16 pixel size. Perfect for items for a retro style game.
  • Hi

    I'm Currently working on a game which I'm designing on 1080p, however in order to get good quality at higher resolutions as well, I'm making all my Sprites at 2x of what I use in the game. So for example I have an Sprite which is 100 x 50 but the source image is 200 x 100 so when the game runs at higher resolutions, the quality of sprites don't reduce.

    But I found out that I can't use the same practice for Tiled Backgrounds because you can't change the size of the source image in the editor or events.

    I want to know if there is any solution for this?

  • There are system expressions called ImageWidth and ImageHeight you can use those to get the original size of the image, not the total sized of the tile, changing those will change the original image size.

    I am not sure if this will improve the quality of the image, but it will change its size. Tiled backgrounds are very simple and they don't offer many options as sprites do, for performance reasons.

  • You can change the texture using load from url.

    Otherwise, if you know the texture will be scaled up at run time every time, then scale the texture up before you import it into the editor.

    Note, unless the texture scales up well, and most textures don't, you may still have the same issue, unless you create a texture of the target scale.

    Also note, most, if not all textures scale down without quality loss.

    I tried what you are saying before but it doesn't work, no matter what the source texture is, it always scales up which results in losing quality.

  • I am having this issue too - is there a way for me to change the image size so visibly its the same without going into the tiles? WHen I try resize it, it shows parts of the image I dont want there.
