Submachine 8: the Plan

[Vortex]

Sorry, Mateusz, but I can't fully understand your thoughts. (because I am some kind of stupid with these things...)

instead of downscaling the HD version, upscale the normal one, and THEN compare

Do you mean I should to increase size of SD version?
Or to launch HD in normal size at the start? (because it launchs in fullscreen mode at the start).

If I do first, it will be... distorted?

changed it, however higher quality = larger lag on slower computers. it's a thin line that I'm walking here

I know about quality/lags connection. But what to do?

I think that he meant increasing the size of SD, so you can see what's the usual advantage of HDs compared to the normal vesions

And about quality/lags, maybe a change quality button will help? (just an idea, I don't really know how that works)

I think Submachine should be perfect. Especially in HD versions.

And where is this "button" in PC FlashPlayer that launches HD version?

Well, you have to think that if a user with a slow computer buys Submachine HD, and it has perfect graphics but is laggy as hell and unplayable, he wouldn't be very happy with his/her purchase. As Mateusz says, it isn't so easy to balance quality vs. computer use.

What?

this is not given, however it could be programmed into the game (in the footer for example, next to music options).
but it's kind of pointless to buy a HD version to play it on low quality. :/

I will post Keymaster's post to answer on this:

Yeah, but it could solve the lags some users were experiencing. That way users who want perfect graphics would have the option, and people who just want to play the game in a bigger screen without worrying too much about quality also have the option, and everybody's happy.

Anyways as I said, you don't have to take my idea seriously, I don't know if it would really work.
I don't really care either, since I have a good comp

Then next HDs should include quality button!!! Or something like that.
(just for a note)

I have a question for Mateusz.
The game symbol you put in, now that we know that the AP is for Alexander Polynomial, what does the M on the top of the symbol mean.
It is for Murtaugh or your name?

[Vortex]

now that we know that the AP is for Alexander Poloynormus Alexander Polynomial

Do we know that? I think it never went beyond a suggestion.

[The Abacus]

I don't think we know a single thing about that symbol for sure
