WIDESCREEN, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT
Originally releasing in 1997, and remastered in 2010, Broken Sword 2's "original resolution" was a choice reserved for people with immaculate eyesight who hadn't upgraded to a 4k display yet. To avoid eye strain you were given a choice of these generous alternatives: ???? AUGMENTED: Before: slightly bigger but still on the smaller side of windowed.. fun fact: this resolution was based on an old iPad format since Broken Sword 2 (and 1) was originally remastered for the first iOS devices. New and improved flavour: Augmented is now a bit bigger, and way more size appropriate for your display! ????????♀️ FULL SCREEN: Before: w i d e - once 16:9 took over as an aspect ratio for the average monitor, everyone was just so wide. Screens have since gotten even wider, and some of you were experiencing cropping issues. Not ideal (which is British for "absolutely horrifying"), but the best we could do at the time! Well, that time is OVER!!! You deserve better!!!!!! New and improved flavour: The original game has a lot a scenes with very long background artwork that was intended to make streets and locations that George and Nico are walking around in, feel more continuous. This means we're in a unique position as devs of 90s adventure games, to offer a new full screen experience, that in most places can actually cater to new aspect ratios. WITHIN REASON!!! Some areas do include original artwork that was made to size exactly, especially in enclosed locations, and for those areas we included very tasteful (standard black) sidebars.ACHIEVEMENTS
Just as the prophecy foretold!!!! Some of you already noticed that we sneakily added achievements a few weeks ago while testing commenced!! Well testing commenced, and we smashed it!!!! Enjoy 27 carefully picked achievements, with such bangers as;

ENJOY
Hope you enjoy this update, and YES we're already eagerly working on Broken Sword 1. It's next!!! Thank you all for being so patient with us. It's a delicate process, and a huge task for a team our size. It doesn't mean we don't always do our best! You deserve it, and we love you. SPECIAL SHOUTOUT; Next Monday, the 19th of September, Ron Gilbert and his immensely talented team are releasing "Return to Monkey Island" - a game we've been on the edge of our seats about. We love the team, some of them even have some Broken Sword overlap, and we wish them a wonderful launch! A great way to support indie games you love is wishlisting them until they release, and then leaving positive reviews on their Steam page!
