Voyage: Full Screen mode in Java, extended FOV

Published by

on

Was able to get full screen working using the good old Full Screen Exclusive Mode API, at first tried to accommodate the game to 640×480 but found out the dialogs for buying on stores and transferring equipment wouldn’t work in this resolution unless I invested some heavy work on them.

So in the end rolled back the work I had done for both compacting the UI and scaling the graphics layer manually… now using the original 1024×768 design for the DenziUI, with a small but important twist…

Running full screen at 1024×768 with extended FOV

I duplicated the depth of the field of view, which I think makes the game look much better in my opinion!

Some upcoming interesting things (besides the already mentioned “macro” goals in the previous post):

  • Enhance forests and mountains by using different graphics variations
  • Pick forest/jungle type based on latitude
