The main highlight of this update is better support for HD displays (party like it’s 2006!) Until now the game was rendered to 1280x720 and scaled, resulting in wasted space and visuals less sharp than they could be.

Eagled eyed followers out there may have noticed that work on the remaster and bug fixes have come to a bit of a crashing halt as of late. You may have also said to yourself "The &*?! happened, developer guy?!" Due to several reasons I unfortunately haven't had the time to devote to game development that I once did, so the remaster is on an indefinite hiatus for now. Good news is one of those r…
