Dev Log: Progress Update - Revamped Tutorial and Gameplay Improvements

Greetings, survivors!

Over the past few months, we've been hard at work enhancing the game experience, fixing bugs, and adding new elements to the tutorial. Let's break down the key updates:

Tutorial Improvements

We've completely revamped the tutorial, breaking it down into short, easy-to-follow steps with visual aids. The learning process is now more intuitive and accessible. Here are some key additions:

Food and Morale: The tutorial now explains how to properly feed your squad and maintain their morale. Morale directly affects combat performance, so keeping an eye on this stat is crucial.

Character Abilities: We've added detailed explanations for using character abilities. This knowledge will help you plan your battle tactics more effectively.

Gameplay Improvements

Armor and Tool Restrictions Removed: We've lifted the strict limitations on who can use what armor and tools. Now, any character can equip any gear, but their effectiveness will depend on their skills.

Automatic Food Distribution: Your squad now automatically distributes food among themselves, allowing you to focus more on the strategic aspects of the game.

New Hunger and Thirst Icons: We've added hunger and thirst indicators to help you keep track of your squad’s status at all times. This makes the interface more user-friendly and intuitive.

Loot Optimization: We’ve reduced the number of dropped items, as playtests revealed that squads often became overloaded with too much loot. You’ll now find it easier to manage your inventory and spend less time clearing out excess items.

Overload Indicator: The inventory screen now shows an overload status, which simplifies managing your squad's load.

Small but Important Improvements:

• You can now move characters by clicking directly on them during trading.

• Updated crafting recipes for better balance.

• Trees become transparent when your squad enters the forest, improving visibility.

• Map scrolling added by moving the mouse to the edges of the screen for easier navigation.

• Characters on the battlefield can now be selected by clicking directly on them, not just on their portraits.

• During trading, you can click on a character to get detailed information about them, making it easier to form the squads you need.
