Here we go again: tutorial
Posted: 13 Jan 2012, 23:52I changed my plan completely. The current plan is as follows:
- The tutorial map will be short, only teaching basic movement to survive. This includes WASD, mouse aiming and shooting, impulse dash (space twice) and wallrunning (both horizontal and vertical).
- The tutorial map can be finished in just a minute. This won't be yet another long, boring tutorial. Get the basics and get in-game.
What I have:
- A simple map with checkpoints after every door, obstacles that can be passed with special Red Eclipse movement.
What I need:
- A "tutorial" mode which works like onslaught time-trial but doesn't remove weapons from the map and let's you start with a pistol. Besides that, it also has to put you back to the main menu when reaching the finish point.
- The ability to show instructional text on the screen (either that, or I need someone with an actual voice to speak the instructions).
What would be great, but not required:
- A screen on first client start asking if the user wants to do a quick tutorial.
Video example:
Youtube (the annotations are a rough indication of how the instructional text would be)
(Yes, there are better mappers out there that would probably make this looks much better, but nobody seems to be willing to spend time on this so I will)
