Microsoft Surface Touchscreen Support

Postby digitallimit » Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:31 pm

Hey Subset Games and modders!

Is there any chance we'll be getting support for playing Into the Breach via touchscreen on a Microsoft Surface?

Right now, it's quite close to being playable, but unintuitive as tapping doesn't click, it places the mouse cursor, and then moving the cursor with another tap or swipe will leave a click where the mouse previously was positioned. It takes some learning, but the game can be played entirely without the keyboard it seems. With some very slight modifications (nothing like the overhaul required to support iPad), Into the Breach could claim pretty unique Surface support.

In the mean time, it's back to keyboard and trackpad for me, but it was an optimistic experiment.

Best
Michael

For reference, here are two approaches taken to getting touchscreen support for FTL:
