Summary0018062: Remove zoom
DescriptionZoom control doesn't belong in an action game like this. There needs to be a decision on the zoom level (default seems fine to me) and the zoom control should be removed.
TagsNo tags attached.

I dunno.

I don't expect people to spend time zooming in and out either. However, this game is made in HD scale, and so if you're playing on a larger monitor it will feel great. If you play on 1024x768 it's going to feel pretty cramped at the default zoom, though -- just ask nas1m. Yes we can scale all the graphics down to match the 1080p scale in terms of pixels to screen ratio, and actually for a while we did. But that was really irking me, because I often play on 1800x720 and I don't want it to zoom in even slightly, which it would do if left to its own devices. Hence making this a choice for players.

Perhaps this should move to being an option in the game settings, though.

Okay, agreed.

Coming:

-- No more direct zoom controls in the game. Instead there should be a slider on the graphics tab that lets players choose their zoom level from there. I’d suggest starting at 1f, and then go down by 0.02f increments to 0.64f.

For 0.208:

*Added a new slider to the graphics tab of the settings window: Zoom
**If you have a resolution smaller than 1920x1080 you may want to use this to "zoom out" the game area (not the HUD) a bit. Reduces graphical quality somewhat.
**Default: 1, Max Zoom Out: 0.64

Thanks :)
