If they wanted to use technology from 10 years ago, they could easily offer 1440p art with a similar file-size as 720p games have today. Unfortunately they stick to their 20+ year old technology, so they commonly downscale the art to 720p for the games.
It is kinda sad, but what can you do.

>resolution

That shouldn't matter. Usually the art is available at MUCH higher resolution than the game will feature anyway, like pic related. Game is in 720p. This includes sprites as well, as far as I remember. These high res resources were available uncompressed as some pre-order bonus, and I THINK some sprites were there as well, but it's been some time.

>the issue is that everything costs money and if you want 1080p you pay a premium over 720p, if you want to include multiple resolutions you have to pay for the coding etc. the nbkz interview anon just linked explains things very well, even i learned something

And yet there are plenty of VNs available where the company has high resolution art available.. just doesn't use it. Moonstone should be an example, as they have such art available for Nostalgia, so at least from then on they should have 1440p assets around. And I wouldn't be surprised if that's happening for a few other companies at least as well. Some even do have >720p support, even though they only have 720p windowed. There's a bit more to the whole 720p thing I think. And I wouldn't be surprised if "file-size" is one of them...

So about Natsu no Iro no Nostalgia. It's a 720p game, right? So it came with some possible preorder photoshop image disc, with a few "original" images on it, as far as I understand it. (in giant ass psd format) Those however are way higher res than 720p. Pic related is an event-cg. (converted to jpg for obvious reasons)

Dunno why they don't at least offer 1080p. The sprites seem also available in more than big enough res. I hope this isn't normal with these companies, because it just feels stupid to not USE what's available. Weird shit.
