Dysprosium Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi Klei,I have a touch screen laptop with Windows 8 and since Don't Starve can be fully played with the mouse, it is playable with just the touchscreen. However, the only problem is that everything needs to be double-tapped, because the first tap acts like a mouse-hover while the second tap actually clicks the thing.I know that the current stance is to get it working for PC and then expand to other platforms, but this tweak for Windows 8 touch devices would be pretty simple. Something like a simple option in the menu to turn on/off touch mode, which just makes it so that the first tap or "click" registers as clicking on the object instead of hovering over it, would be pretty simple to implement, I think.Don't Starve is lots of fun to play on a touchscreen, so I hope this gets some thought!Thanks,Dysprosium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimbo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'd love don't starve to be available on android tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysprosium Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 I don't mean a port to Android because that would be difficult, but just a tweak for Windows 8 Touch Devices which Don't Starve already runs on. It's just harder to play having to tap everything twice using a touch screen, and it's easily changeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Kevin Posted December 3, 2012 Developer Share Posted December 3, 2012 Interesting. We'll have to get one of those devices in the office for testing, eventually. We have one windows 8 machine, but it's just a normal computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeGeNnOoBs Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 i would also love to see this! it's already fun to play on a surface pro, but the doubletapping isn't that cool. it works, however, but this slight tweak would be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KewlApple Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bump! I just got my Surface Pro 2 and I'd really love a touchscreen mode so I don't have to double tap everything. Any chance this could be fixed? Thanks for a great game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diannetea Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Same here, W8 touchscreen support would be amaaazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iriador Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Yeah, Windows 8(.1) support would be awesome. I'd love to play Don't Starve on my tablet, got a Dell Venue Pro 8. You might want to check that one out Kevin, it's a pretty decent machine with a full Windows 8.1 and its only 250€.

spiritcrusher77 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Maybe you should just get a mouse attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleIcarus Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This mod seems to crash on start up. I keep getting an error message asking me to restart the game--please advise. All my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
