Celestial Golf needs a detailed tutorial to teach you how to manipulate orbital trajectories, but the first attempt was too verbose and filled up too much of the screen. In this video, I walk through how I redesigned the tutorial system in response to player feedback.

I originally designed a single combined system to teach controls, concepts and add a bit of flavour. It was too much, filling up much of the screen with tiny writing that players could easily ignore.

Now, I have four distinct systems, built for specific purposes, delivering the necessary information in short bite-sized chunks.

I hope you enjoy and as always will see you for more updates soon.
