It’s unlikely that the game will directly support this layout. Sure, 88 more pixels would be nice, but King of Dragon Pass is a landscape game, and extra width isn’t as useful in most cases as extra height would be (most scrolling is vertical). The original art was at a 4 x 3 aspect ratio, and already doesn’t always nicely fit the 3 x 2 iPhone.
* Purists may note that the iPhone 5 has a 640 x 1136 pixel display. Technically this is true, but from a design standpoint, it works better to think of 320 x 568 pixels, with the possibility of fine detail.
I don't own an iPhone 5, but I can imagine playing this game with black borders, and it sounds rather unpleasant, is it possible for you to apply a backdrop with an old paper or parchment texture?
ReplyDeleteI think that would make the game more pleasant to play on a new device, and as this screen size will definitely stay like this for a few years at least, it will help so many new and upgrading players.
When I play on a black phone there’s no real way to tell it’s letterboxed unless the keyboard is visible (which is very rare).
