MapleStory Then and Now

How are they supporting a higher resolution come BB then? What prevents them from supporting 1080p? I wanna see ALL THE FM MWAHAHAHAHA

Unlike 3D or vector where it can just be recalculated to fit a larger screen, sprites must be redrawn by hand to fit resolutions. Its possible to make larger sprites but large sprites look weird.

Sprites hold a set height and width. the way maple story works, is that what we see is basically a viewfinder on the larger image to show us on the screen. They can adjust the size of the view finder, but certain things like the character sprites and monster sprites will appear smaller when the screen size is still bigger than the shown size.
