[$200] #198 | Drop 1280x720 Support | Requires: #6

[Eric.B]

Price: $200

Description: In GearCity Classic, we support 1024x720 resolution. That is 1024x768 and 1280x720. With bounty #6, we dropped 1024x768. With this bounty, we'll drop support for 1280x720 support. This bounty would bring up the minimum resolution specs to 1280x768.

The benefit of this is giving me more room to work with the UI elements in the game. The more room I have to work with, the cleaner the UI becomes.

As of 4/2022, here is the breakdown of our users' resolutions according to Steam Survey:

Requirements: #6

Required By: None

Concerns: There are still a handful of people with 720 monitors. Those players might have clipping issues without scaling.

Eric's Opinion: Ideally, we'd be able to jump straight to 1920x1080 minimum requirements and be done with it. But there are still quite a few people running GC on old enough machines to justify keeping lower resolution support.
