Make mobile game banners readable without losing the subject

Original applied analysis · Practical browser-game engineering · First published 23 October 2026

The practical problem

A wide desktop hero may hide its main character behind a narrow viewport crop. Shrinking and cropping are different design choices, not interchangeable responsive techniques.

Implementation protocol

Use a picture element for art direction, offer deliberate portrait and landscape focal crops and check titles against visual subjects at every breakpoint.

Worked scenario

A character placed on the far-right edge of a 16:9 source may need a different portrait crop with central framing, rather than object-position center alone.

What could go wrong

Do not create mobile art from an older build and desktop art from a new one.

Acceptance criteria

Track both assets under a shared release ID and compare screenshots.
