Author Topic: GUI Placement of "Tutorial"?  (Read 561 times)

I was discussing with a couple other people on Barnabas' server about some of Blockland's GUI elements. It mean it's not iOS 7 or anything but it's pretty good and usable, however there's a few points I just don't quite get.

Biggest problem is that I've been seeing a lot is how few the new players have played the tutorial. Lots of them wander onto the server asking things like how to build or spawn vehicles. We've noted how the "Tutorial" button is now no longer an element on the main menu but rather badly located, buried under a bunch of other game modes under the "Start A Game" menu. I recommend either adding the Tutorial button back to the main menu, or prompting the player to play the tutorial on the first launch, or both.

make a prompt for when someone tries to join a server:

"You have not played the tutorial yet. Are you sure you want to join this server?"

(Play Tutorial)   (Back)   (Join)

it would stop showing up when someone has completed the tutorial

It'll be annoying if you just restarted the game and it didn't save your status on tutorial completion, though a quick "Don't Show Again" checkbox would do the trick

Bumping because I think this is kinda important. No newbie who has joined my server ever even knew a tutorial existed.
