Screen Size vs Pixels

[The_Gambit]

Is there a limit on how many pixels can be displayed by this engine? IOW can make a game thats a bigger pixel ratio, in order to make it look better?

Like an 800x600 so my characters can also have more pixels to them without being giant on the screen.

800x600 is a 4:3 ratio. If you want to use a widescreen resolution, use 800x450.
About the size, depends of the size of your characters. Which characters are you using?

Well I'm just asking if it is possible to make the game with higher pixel ratio. The characters will be custom. Would like for them to be as big as Marvel first alliance characters, or maybe a little bigger, but I want to put them on a much more zoomed out map so they will appear smaller. But I want them to still have detail, thus I need higher pixel resolution for the game.

Quite simply, yes. OpenBOR supports any custom resolution and comes with several predefined.

Take note that demands on your hardware go up exponentially as resolutions increase. No big for any modest PC but something to keep in mind if you want to support consoles.

See here for details on OpenBOR's graphic capabilities.

Just keep in mind that OpenBor use only nearest neighbor method when scaling sprites, ok?

So if you use an HD resolution, it won't look "that HD", just smaller.
