Resolution Requirements?

I believe so, yes.

I do not know if the textures are scaled down on a smaller display. I would say no, but Andos could confirm?

[Anders]

The textures themselves will not be scaled down but the entire display will so it will fit the older devices just fine.
We do however have a mipmapping system in place that automatically downcales textures for better performance and image quality - only when needed though. You will never notice this though as it is completely automatic

I'm facing a bit of confusion regarding resolution, so thought I'd add my question to this thread. I'm creating a game with the iPad 3 in mind since that has the largest display. The problem I'm facing is, the resolution is ridiculously large at 2048 x 1536 with 264 dpi. Should I be creating my game at that resolution, or should I be designing it with the iPad 2's 1040 x 768 resolution? I'm not creating a pixel game, it's vector graphics, so I want it all to be nice and smooth with no jaggies.

Thanks in advance guys!
