I'm really liking the improvement that has been made with this Game Authoring System. I know that this engine uses the latest DirectX for graphics. I was wondering if you could create a game that could run on older computers by making it possible to have a lower resolution and the ability to set it to Software mode instead of DirectX or Direct3D or however that works. Thanks.
