Mobile locked to landscape sucks

Postby debeck » Wed Jan 09, 2019 6:56 am

Dear developers,

The decision to lock the mobile app to landscape mode, sucks.

In town on Salem the most important tool is the chat. To type in the chat you need your keyboard.
While in landscape mode, your keyboard opens over the majority of the screen which means you can't read the chat. Or the will you are typing in.

This is such a major design decision that was executed to horribly. Please change it to portrait mode. You'd be able to read chat while typing. Which is the most important thing in the game.

It would be a very good implementation but how would you fit everything on the screen, it's already almost full but put it in portrait mode and you can't fit everything. I really think it's a good idea but it would be very time consuming and difficult to do just to be able to read the chat (even though it's probably the most important thing).
Hey, a signature really? you expect me to have one? no seriously just scroll down to the other replies or go to another post, no signature here, no need to continue reading, nothing here, no seriously, why are you still reading? i'm telling you, no signature, stop reading! STOP, ok, you really want one? really really? here goes nothing: NO! ok you can stop reading, i already told you there isn't anything here, don't continue, oh the character lim

There are currently no plans to support both modes, afaik.

I think putting the chat log on the top of the screen would be good

I apologize, there are currently no plans on changing the viewmode or adding another one.
