The upscaling for the gallery is easy, and I could release that now.

However, the game itself was originally made for 640x480 screens, so it's much smaller. To make the game more playable, I need to write a script that will zoom in on the game since it appears too small on a 1920x1080 screen.

The gallery works fine since the images have been upscaled to 1920x1080, but the game assets can’t be upscaled due to engine limitations.
I think this guy did something similar:

Also pardon my ignorance, but would playing the game on the original resolution and then full-screening it during the scenes keep the CGs in uncompressed 1920x1080?

I checked it out, but it's not quite the same. You can change the resolution to a specific ratio without affecting the game, but 1920x1080 is a big leap.

Also, it's not feasible. When you fullscreen the game, it just tries to stretch the original 640x480 image to fit your screen, making it larger and pixelated.

You can't simply upscale the images to 1920x1080 either because the game is still running at 640x480, so only a small part of the image will be visible. RPG Maker VX Ace has an engine limitation of 640x480, but there are ways to unlock this limitation. However, doing so causes the game to zoom out (see the image for example).

As you can see, it's trying to fill in the empty space with random assets. The easiest way to fix this would probably be to zoom in on the game and zoom out for scenes

Such a shame. I did notice that this game handles resolution in a weird way. Most rpgm games can be played in full screen (even if they just stretch the image), but this one always just crashed whenever I tried to run it that way.

It's such a good game too! I periodically check If there's and official english release/new mod/new game from the dev, but it looks like it's just a diamond in the rough.

If you ever figure something out I'll follow your progress with great interest!
