Needing some help on game design | GameMaker | Page 1

#

you can actually do both in gamemaker. HD art requires a tiny bit more management code-wise (because of texture pages), but not too hard. In the end, everything's pixels anyways.

#

I guess for HD art, the biggest thing is to only draw the artwork as big as you need them (not doing 8k artworks for a 1920x1080 monitor, and obviously upscaling a tiny artwork is gonna make it look pixelated)

#

Also, I would look into the sprite system and how gamemaker handles sprites, maybe that'll give you some insight

#

Each sprite is 1 animation

#

so while doing something liek this is possible

#

each frame isn't really an animation

so you're swimming a bit upstream to make that work, evne if it's possible

#

gamemaker also has 9-slice for any of your UI needs. very very useful

#

9 slice

#

but yeah

those are some general tips based on your question. if you have anything more specific we can probably address those too
