DEV BLOG #2 - Place & Remove Units
Hello wobblers!
In our last dev blog on TABS pocket edition, we shared the design of camera controls during the placement phase.
Now, it’s time to introduce the actual deployment part - to place and remove units on mobile!
Unit Placement and Removal
In the original PC version, players can click on the map to place units, or hold the left mouse button and swipe on map to quickly deploy an array of wobblers, avoiding the inconvenience of placing them one by one.
However, when it comes to mobile devices, it’s not that convenient to place a large number of units one by one due to the limited screen size. And it would also take much time to clear a bunch of units by tapping on screen when you feel unsatisfied with the current formation in the battlefield.
Besides, it’s also not quite possible to place or remove many units consecutively just by dragging with your finger on mobile, as swiping on screen is intuitively designed for adjusting the top-down view - like panning or zooming in and out:
Therefore, to achieve the smoothness of arranging armies on mobile, we add two buttons on both sides of the screen: Place Units ↓ and Remove Units ↑.
With one hand holding the Place/Remove button and another hand swiping on the map at the same time, dozens of units can be deployed or cleared with just one stroke, smooth like a drawing pad.
In this way, players can unleash their creativity on the map canvas drawing their tactical formation of whatever they like🎨
That’s all for today’s small talk on TABS pocket edition! We will keep working on mobile development & optimization and keep you updated on our new progress. If you have any comments or suggestions, don’t hesitate to join our official Discord for further discussion: https://discord.gg/tabsmobile
