Devlog #9

Let's face it: We all hate tutorials. Players hate going through them; developers hate making them. But experience shows that if the game is good, players won't complain too much after even the most annoying tutorial. But if the game is complicated and has no tutorial, players are very likely to give up.

That's why, even in the demo version, we're taking our time to create a simplified and brief tutorial for all the basic mechanics. For now, it consists of pop-up windows and tooltips, but in the full version of the game, we plan to seriously rework the tutorial and integrate it into the game as organically as possible, discreetly prompting the player when necessary.

What do you think about tutorials? What is tolerable and what is annoying? Can you remember one you liked?
