Not only does that look like the most intentionally badly designed gameplay input of all time, it also completely misses the problem with virtual joysticks, which is that they exist at all. Just don't put fucking virtual joysticks in your games folks, stop trying to design mobile games like traditional ones. There are of course exceptions to the rule (like Minigore, which thankfully didn't even use the second 'stick' for camera movement, just shooting), but 999/1000 times it's just a terrible way to go. Touchscreen gaming has its own strengths that should be taken advantage of. There's a reason why games like Angry Birds or Infinity Blade were so successful.
God, I hate this bot.
I have a better solution.
Don't fucking make games that require joysticks, because touchscreen versions of tactile inputs like buttons and joysticks are fucking awful.
Can we get rid of this Bot please?
The only time I have ever liked a touchscreen joystick is how they did it in Final Fantasy 3. Basically, you could put your finger anywhere on the screen and slide in any direction and it counted you as moving the "joystick."
