My biggest problem with the current layout on my phone (LG Android) is when I try to scroll I push random buttons. So a couple of times I've had to try to get creative on why my character randomly went into buildins and vehicles they weren't supposed to :) so if you see a *trips and stumbles through the door* its probably me on my phone haha.

Only if it will be separate and it won't change anything on browser one.

Thank you all for your responses and feedback!

I notice that there are some concerns regarding a mobile layout making things complicated/worse. That is why I am seeking opinions and feedback on the designs I am posting so that when/if it makes its way to becoming an actual suggestion, there is something to actually go on design wise.


I am also noticing the biggest complaint with how Cantr is now is that the navigation/buttons are a PITA. I will be posting some more additions today to see what you all think!

Haven't had the time/motivation to do a whole lot the last day and a half, but here is something I threw together:

I will flesh it out later to give more details on the individual sections (ie. objects,buildings, location, and all that) within the next few days.

Could the text box be mayby larger? With mobile its mayby a little too small :oops:

So, how's this project coming along? I've been working on my own web page, and learning as much CSS as I need for that, and it got me thinking about this. I'm pleased to see that you have the horizontal characterActionBar turn into a vertical list of buttons instead. That was something I was going to suggest.
I would like to see, when the action bar is horizontal, having each 'button' be the same size. That's something that I'd like to see whether a redesign like this happens or not.

But really, the character-action-bar is one of the most difficult things for me to use on my tablet, and I'm not sure why. I always end up missing those buttons... maybe it's their shortness? Or some quirk of my tablet, specifically. Either way, what do people think of adding the option of swiping to get to the next page? I've seen it work on a few websites, and it's a much easier tablet action than clicking. Rather than zooming in, clicking the button, then clicking the enlarged button (because I don't zoom in enough) I could swipe two or three times and get to the same page.

Still playing around with ideas and working on other projects.

On my local machine I have quite a few layouts done, but none of them are worthy of pushing out as a proof of concept.
