[#3] Tutorial Overhaul Incoming!

Commanders!

Time really flies, it has been slightly more than a week since the demo dropped. Just wanted to thank each and every one of you for giving the demo a shot.

Since the demo was released, something came to my attention: The current tutorial is too "hand-holdly" and it is significantly disrupting the pacing for some players, especially those that are familiar in the tower defense genre. This is an oversight on my end and I thank everyone that gave me this feedback, whether directly or indirectly.

So, to address this issue, I will be implementing the ability for you to tailor the onboarding experience based on how familiar you are with the tower defense genre.

The options will be:

  • Enable All - This will be the option for players who are completely new to the genre, and wants a detailed explanation to every mechanic in the game, including those similar to other tower defense games.

  • Partially Enable - For players who are familar with the tower defense genre. The game will skim through some mechanics and will only go into detail mechanics unique to this game.

  • Disable All - No tutorials will be present at all, recommended only to veteran players of SND.

This feature may sound simple but it is quite a big undertaking, so it may take some time for it to be released, please bear with me!

If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to use the Steam discussions and reach out to me.

Thank you for your time! See you soon!
