Tutorial

[blixster]

This tutorial, or first map, is the worst I've ever played in a new game. It encourages me to request a refund and it's extremely frustrating. There are simply too many options, the buttons are many and it's simply overwhelming. This first map is asking too much and is very confusing, especially for me as I only have a half hour at a time to actually play the game among my daily tasks. Can you introduce an actual tutorial map that slows things down and reveals options a lot slower - or even create a much easier-to-navigate UI? Maybe it's just me and my learning curve.

Anyone else feel this way? I'm not an avid gamer, so maybe this is all me.

So...tutorial being too much of a tutorial is bad?

No. It's the UI, I suppose, and the way the "tutorial" goes about teaching the player how to play. I feel that it's overly complex for a first-time user - or at least, for me, and I'm curious if other players feel similarly. I'm not claiming that others will or that it's not decent for some, I'm curious if others find the gameplay for the first hour or two overcomplicated, as I do.

Just play, click on things and mess around. Its a really simple game to be fair so you'll get it if you just take time with it. Think this is the first time i've heard someone say the game is too complicated generally its the opposite, when you need to do something early in the game it will literally tell you how to do it and where to click.

Yeah, I had difficulty finding stuff as well + messages aren't exactly...noticeable. Oh my digteam is back...Could have told me that like 10 minutes ago. Oh...research done? When did that happen.

Then I got annoyed by the camera bugging out and I quit playing.

Honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Didn't have any issues, probably because I went through the menus and read everything first so I had a basic understanding. But if you're just randomly building ♥♥♥♥ yeah I could see how it could get confusing.
