High-resolution games in AGS

[tongucci]

Hi, I am a newbie here. Can I make a 1920x1080 or even a 4K res game on AGS? Or will it always be low res pixel art?

This is a technical question, rather than a art question.

But yes you can, and high-res games were or are made, see these for example:

But you should keep in mind that 2D pixel art does not downscale well, and so the bigger original resolution is, the more restricted system requirements will be. You can upscale 720p game to any bigger monitor, but you cannot downscale 4K game to a smaller monitor without making it look like a mess.
