It would make sense to be able to have a simple text tool and also a circle tool

Thanks, he was from another game project that is currently on hold until I've finished this one

Wow thank you for the thorough analysis! The other nice effect of enabling high dpi was that now finally the return values of touch.x are actually correct and I do not need to do some calculations where I had to divide by the actual rendering height vs the original rendering height etc. So if anyone is struggling with any of these issues -> enable high dpi

Thanks a lot ryanrybot!

Depending on the time of day the spawning enemies will change too (and day/night cycles will be much slower than what I've shown til now). At night I want to have more futuristic and deadly enemies joining the battlefield. One of the other levels, a snowy version of the red square in Moscow, together with it's iconic church etc., f.e. will feature changing weather conditions and fighting the enemies in a snowstorm will provide an even greater challenge for the player.

The 6 point gradient map shader which I programmed for the color transitions currently only swaps between two color sets, depending on the time of the day. But as it is fed by a json file, I will add simply one more parameter with which you'll be able to have smooth color transitions for any amount of points in time, like a cool dawn, followed by a bright midday, a warm afternoon and a dark night.

As always, watch at 1080p60

Thanks, I actually implemented a simple physics family myself, as the standard physics behavior was way too complex and slow (not all of the 1000 use the physics family, maybe up to 400 or so)

Awesome! Where did I see this before... did you publish some animated stuff also on reddit?

I think I found the problem. Apparently setting Use high-DPI display to yes solves the problem I have yet to see if this comes with any performance impact...

I create all of them myself. Looking at my current project basically all of it has been done in Construct 2 itself (PLEASE IMPLEMENT DRAWING CIRCLES IN THE SPRITE EDITOR!) ... oh and in my internal preview version I used a song from youtube, but I will either license something for the final version or create it myself too...

Thank you for your detailed responses fisholith, I will try this out and hopefully come back with a good outcome

Just one question, how does construct 2 actually realize the scaling? Is the final canvas object in the DOM scaled to fullscreen or is the canvas always fullscreen and just the intermediary calculated texture upscaled inside webgl?

All your assumptions are correct. Window size is 640x360, the title screen is 640x360, galaxy screep is 1440p, my desktop screen is 1080p, the title screen is x2 scaled just to show how sharp it looks and the galaxy s6 should scale every pixel by 4 as my desktop is scaling up every pixel by 3 (3x640, 3x360 = 1920, 1080 ; 4x640,4x360=2440,1440), so I would expect the same sharp image on my S6 as on my Desktop, but clearly something behaves differently and it looks terrible on my S6. (And yes, the S6's screenshot was scaled down by x2 because it still looks as blurry on 1440p as on 720p ) I have no problem with the game rendering to an intermediate texture and then scaling to the final resolution, this is what I was actually hoping for as it increases the performance, ESPECIALLY on mobile with it's limited rendering power, when you take into account how GLSL works on each and every pixel. When it works on the 640x360 it has significantly less work to do then on the proper 1440p resolution. Now my problem seems to be related to the fact that I would like to have a point interpolation scaling here and not a linear interpolation on the final image, but this doesn't seem to happen on the smartphone, while it works perfectly fine on the desktop :/
