Repeated intro

changedThe biggest piece of work this patch was building out the tutorial systems from scratch. We're talking guided objectives and scripted events — so instead of just throwing you into the game and wishing you luck, the tutorial now actually walks you through things in a structured way. It's not fancy yet, but it does its job.
addedAlongside that, I've added the Hero Unit to the game. Right now the core rule is simple but important: your Hero must survive. Down the line I'm planning to layer in special abilities — think area buffs and more — but for now I wanted the "protect your Hero" tension to land first before adding complexity on top.
changedI also spent time building out a bunch of decorative buildings and vehicles for the tutorial map. None of them affect gameplay — they're purely visual — but they make the world feel a lot less empty and give the level some much-needed atmosphere.
changedNext up I'm continuing to flesh out the tutorial experience and laying groundwork for the Hero's future abilities. I'd love to hear your thoughts — does the "Hero must survive" mechanic sound interesting to you? What do you want to see from a Hero unit in a game like this? Drop a comment below, I read everything. -Chris

Put it all together and the tutorial level is now a proper, handcrafted space rather than a placeholder. That's a meaningful milestone for a solo project.
