Plans for new tutorial

#1

Post by Lobby »

I'm currently collecting some ideas for the new tutorial. It will start in the default city and should have a bit more story than the last one.

So feel free to post any suggestions. I cannot promise to add any of them, but who knows :P

Maybe everyone of the characters in the pop-ups introduces themselves? :)

No, please no. No introductions. The characters profession is usually quite evident.

Maybe a cinematic preview of the land before you start building?

One: Keep the tutorial running until they get the 300 required inhabitants.:)

Two. Have a small area prebuilt for free. Have them enlarge the zones, place the pipes, wires, etc.

Three. Use some labels in the town with directions on how to do different things

Four. Show how to use the minimap, and the zoom buttons. Tell them to always zoom out if they don't see the label directions.

(Remove the default town..)
1. Teach them about Power and Water
2. Then about zones
3. About Demands and Money control
4. Secondary services (Schools, parks, Police blalalala)
5.More complex road systems
Done!

Lobby could add text after that that says "Don't go complaining that you don't know how to play"

Two questions about the new tutorial:

Will it always be available to the player, even when they have already completed it?

Will it be one big tutorial or a bunch of tutorials, each with their own specific topic?

If i may recommend my opinion on what I would make a tutorial like.
"Hello! Welcome to TheoTown, you look new so let me show you the ropes?"
(User select choice)
[Yeah sure!] [No thanks!]
-If player selected Yes-
1. introduction on build menu and map movement and road placement.
2. Zoning and power and water.
3. Unlockables and ranks. (Certain amount of people.)
4. Introduction to Disasters. "Oh no! A building has caught fire! You better put it out! Select the Firetruck logo in :!: "
-User selects firetruck and extinguish fire-
5. Introduction to settings and IAP
6. Introduction to main game!
"Thank you for doing the Tutorial, this will help you build AMAZING cities, if you don't have the time to earn money, try Sandbox mode and build a metropolis with Unlimited Money! Good luck mayor!"
-Little note afterwards:Go onto our fourm for AMAZING cities, insperation and find new friends! -insert web page here-

This is my take if i were to create a tutorial! :bc
