So, I bought GM Studio a fem minutes ago, the game I'm currently working on converted quite well from gm8. Apart from one thing, which could be a visual game-breaker. I use large backgrounds (like 1080x3000), which are handpainted and a part of the concept of the game. Its never been a problem when using GM8, but now, the sharpness of the backgrounds are lost in the compilation or something, so they are a bit blurry. Might there be a way to avoid this compiling? I really.. really hope there is a solution.
Avoid compiling of backgrounds?

The problem is the size of your texture pages. If you're using a 2048x2048 texture page, which is the default setting, anything larger than that is going to get shrunken down to fit on the page. I believe Windows compilation allows texture pages of size 4096x4096, but that's not a good solution as not all graphics cards will be able to handle it. A better solution is to cut the backgrounds into chunks that can fit onto the texture page without having to be shrunken down.
