Title: Will there be a Retina update?
Post by: Cid_X on March 16, 2012, 11:44:02 pm

Got the new iPad today and Aquaria was on my list of must buy games if I ever got one. So I grabbed it. Done and done. I was just wondering, are there any plans to update to Retina resolution? Either way, I'm looking forward to playing such a highly recommended game.

I'm working on it this very moment. (:

Before you get your hopes up too high, I should point out that the iPad 3's retina display has 4x as many pixels as the iPad 2, while memory bandwidth is only around 1.5-2x -- so it's not clear yet whether Aquaria will run at full speed at full resolution (Aquaria is limited mostly by graphics memory bandwidth). That said, I do think it should be possible to push the resolution up at least somewhat.
