I’m really thinking of adding a tutorial with a flow similar to this:
God this game is complicated huh. I think the biggest sin is that it looks simple, but then it’s got enough unintuitive features that it’s kind of a lot to process, especially when the player is thrown straight into the shit.
Anyone who’s already learned how to play please let me know if that flow looks ok. Or even anecdotes of what was confusing for people that bounced off immediately would help. I feel partially unequipped to tackle tutorializing this.
