Quick Question: Faulty Apprentice Tutorial
Added 2018-11-06 16:34:28 +0000 UTCIf we were to add some tutorial features to the game, what would you consider two "must haves?"
Greetings Apprentices! Your good friend and humble creator, Din here to ask a quick favor. Now that Faulty Apprentice has expanded, the learning curve in-game has expanded as well. Here on Patreon, I can tell you information via these posts (like right now, so meta! =P) but for players just coming in, Faulty Apprentice can be a bit overwhelming.
While we would like to make a cool pdf game manual to accompany the final product, we need to make sure everything is explained in-game as well. So, can you give an example of two moments during gameplay you felt needed better instruction on what you should do next? Or if we were to add some tutorial features to the game, what would you consider two "must haves" we should include?

2018-11-08 15:44:10 +0000 UTCI think explaining the mechanics of the sword game (that players can click and drag) should be explained. If introduced in a way that's informative but quick, or tied into the story/dialogue somehow.

2018-11-07 19:12:49 +0000 UTCthe 4 actions per day is important to explain. For example, in my playthroughs i would talk with everyone first (since that takes no actions), but a new player may miss out in dialogue if they jumped into actions/jobs

2018-11-07 00:21:44 +0000 UTCI agree with some people, a tutorial is not needed but a better explanation on how time works, like which actions will spend a “time slot” and which not. Maybe using different color codes for the actions would help (red for actions which move the clock forward, green otherwise)

2018-11-06 21:32:59 +0000 UTCI don't think it needs one to be honest. The singular thing that could use further explanation is the times per day, and the clock in the top left. just so everyones gets the most out of the interface. otherwise it feels all good :)

2018-11-06 20:58:10 +0000 UTCI feel like the game play is fairly simple to follow. The instructors explain it very well enough. But like you said for new comers a tutorial isn't a bad idea. I wouldn't say it's a "must have" but it a good idea just to show the rookies the basics.
