How safe is changing tile size in 2021?

Hey all!

 

I've seen a lot of answers from 2016-17 around the dangers of changing map sizes and such. I don't want to change the map sizes - however, I find the base tile size of 32x32 to make the game look waaaay too small on 1080p displays - especially as I'm going for an 8-bit art style.

 

Is it reasonably safe now-a-days to bump the tile size to 64x64? So far so good for me, but of course I'm playing my game alone on localhost lol.

 

Additionally - is there anyway to zoom out the map editor? That's been my biggest grievance with changing the tile size so far.

 

I'm on 0.7.0.120

All of us devs use 32x32 tiles for testing/development... so using larger tile sizes may result in weird graphical glitches that we just haven't caught/encountered which will need to be reported as bugs for us to fix. That being said, changing tile sizes isn't dangerous.

 

Changing the map sizes (the number of tiles in width, height) is sorta dangerous because you cannot change them again without wiping all your maps.

Awesome, thanks
