^^ would it be possible, such improvements the whole, overall upgrade the graphics ? ?!

I suspect that would be a whole 'nother game.  Could be amusing though.  But I don't think this is the place to talk about it.

The oxc engine was written in a way that makes supporting higher res impossible.

Hello Dioxine,

[Kato]

Sent some cash to Dioxine. Keep up the excellent work, Man!

[Dioxine]

Thank you!

I suspect that would be a whole 'nother game.  Could be amusing though.  But I don't think this is the place to talk about it.

..amybe, whole new (more, rather new, than "another' )  game would be best ..solution, most effective ..approach, to'wards all those ..issues ( *graphics sub-core,  ballistics,/shooting (units behaviour) mechanics (dynamics) sub-systems..  ( yaap, includes those *LoS ~》LoF, \ eyes, /shoulders (arms), /hip voxel /points, of shooting
( (voxel) model, "paperdoll" of (humanoid, bipedal, 2-legs units.. )

btw. - yop, very similar "doll-modell", with movable legs, arms, neck, and heads, which used to have, and use artists, painters, and sculpturists, mainly..


..so, all, whole that core-engine of UFO-XCOM (~1993) (/OXCE++ (~2008-'12  () )  cwould be rewritten, with possibility of fully implementing and adding, changing all those long-wanted, long-discussed ..changes, things, thus make whole refreshed, fully -rewrittend "old" UFO,  ( *OXCE ) in version, and niveau, of y2020

{
♣ recode ufo, /OXCE engine to avalaible &support higher res ~ at least 800x600 ++ , et above

I didnt, dont get it at all, why the devs ( ..... ??) Didnt code.d it ALREADY in the time of writing (before ~few, couple years ago..(??) )
ALREADY all in the ways of AVALAIBILITY of (fully) supporting, &implementing of all all-time-mentioned issues and  improvements, .."advancements'
( advanced, (alot,much more) BETTER niveau of game graphics,
Ballistics ~units ~environments dynamics & behaviour sub-system of game engine, etc.
)

I just cant understand, why the graphics cant be ( in level of ) like in, for example, in :

( ..or in the MM7 )

Oh, that...

Because, well, style. OXC/OXCE vs your link is like Art Deco vs Baroque architecture styles.  It's just so completely different that what you in fact want is for everyone to just forget everything they've been doing for like 20 years and start anew. Not going to happen, sorry.

And I can't understand why you keep banging on about Might and Magic graphics that would look weird with the way Xcom is displayed. At least try to find a game with a similar perspective as Xcom. Or do you complain that Civilization VI doesn't look like Battlefield One as well?
