I hear good things about this game, but it's unplayable on my laptop because the window size is too large and cuts off the screen. Is there a fullscreen option I'm not finding?
Hmm.. what OS are you using? I know Windows at least can go full-screen by Alt+Enter, I'd try that if you're in Windows. Not sure about Mac or Linux though, but I'd imagine they do too.
If the OS fullscreen key doesn't work or your OS doesn't have one, get into main gameplay (i.e.: your character visible in the dungeon and no other menus or prompts open) and try F11, Demon's own fallback fullscreen. It usually isn't the best option available, but it sometimes works when the OS-level option doesn't.
Sorry for the trouble, by the by. Demon is supposed to try and size itself down if it feels it is necessary, but there is a limit to that behavior and I don't use laptops myself so it is possible you have one with a screen smaller than it can support. I hope one of the fullscreen methods can help.
Well, crud. I have no idea why it'd flicker like that. :/
If Alt+F10 (Ubuntu's full screen mode) didn't work any better, we're running low on options, but there is one more thing we can try.
Some Linux-specific issues have been resolved in the past by running Demon using one the following command line options:
-force-glcore32
-force-opengl
-force-glcore45
Which one helps (if any do) will likely be system specific, so I'd just try all three in sequence and see if any resolve the flickering issue in F11's full screen mode.
Sorry for the long wait, but the only solution I could find after moving to Linux Mint was to just autohide my toolbar and play windowed. I definitely feel you should still add some resolution options at some point for the sake of accessibility. Looking forward to finally trying this! I'm a big Megaten fan so this should definitely scratch the itch (no pun intended).
No worries on the delay, I'm just glad you were able to find at least a partial fix.
Regrettably, most of Demon's core systems (including those related to rendering and resolution) were made by me back when I was much newer at engineering (over a decade ago now!): while it would not be impossible to refactor them to something capable of better resolution support, it would be a pretty significant undertaking that I admit is unlikely at this point given Demon is no longer in active development.
I apologize for this and I hope you are able to enjoy the game in spite of the resolution limitations. I am also a big Megaten fan, which is what inspired me to make this game in the first place. :D Cheers, and good luck in the tower!
