An update will be coming in the weeks following the release of the new iPad to fix that issue and increase the resolution of the textures used in the game. So while the elements will be positioned properly, this will mean that initially those items will not be proportional and will be a bit small. Initially the user interface elements (buttons, etc) were not created for the higher resolution. That means that it will run at full resolution on the new iPad, taking full advantage of the retina display.

This was done to allow the app to be universal on the iPad and iPhone 4S and to future-proof the app. It was originally created to display at the maximum resolution that the device supports. The good news is that Zen Bound 2, as it exists now on the App Store will look pretty good on the new iPad and its retina display. I don't have much to add to that conversation other than it's not easy and will add in many cases considerably to the app size. We were continuing the conversation that so many had started about what it would take to upgrade iPad apps to the new retina display. It's also a game that really shows off iOS devices with it's fantastic 3D graphics. In particular we discussed Zen Bound 2, one of my very favorite iOS games.

We talk details with Secret Exit, and show you what it will look like.Īt GDC last week, I had a great conversation with Jani Kahrama from Secret Exit about the new retina display on the iPad. Some 3D iPad games like Zen Bound 2 may be able to take advantage of the iPad retina display already.
