    What people want is not often what they *need*. People often want full-screen video for gameplay. But what they actually need for the best relative touch (RT) gameplay experience is a smaller, offset gameplay display and the recovered screen real estate dedicated to RT movement control.

    Look what I have set up in terms of playing the enjoyable shmup, "Vritra" with relative touch control on my iPhone 6 Plus.

    (See attachment)

    The developers of Vritra (Salvo Inc. from Japan) did a fantastic job at implementing a customizable display area that can by moved and resized, along with the equally important RT movement sensitivity multiplier. (I like mine set at 2x).

    With this customized setup for playing Vritra, I have sufficient room on the right to use the pointer/index finger of my right hand for movement, and my left hand for the Burst button. And the entire gameplay display is never covered/occluded by my fingers.

    This setup makes for an AMAZING and liberating gameplay experience!

    My only wish is that other horizontally scrolling shmups (and vertical ones too!) adopted this level of customized display/control setup. (R-Type for iOS I'm talking to you!!)

    I would rather have a large dedicated relative touch control area and smaller video so that my fingers never cover the gameplay and I can actually PLAY THE GAME. How about you?

    Thoughts?

    I just realized my error.. I am sorry! First time posting to forums in ages. I'm out of practice. All apologies.

    It's absolutely not dribble, though. Surprised you would insult the content.

    Sorry for my mistake!

    Perhaps I should delete it and repost? I am trying to make a request to move it to general discussion, along with correcting the typo in the poll title (it should match the corrected topic title).
