The Tutorial - What will it be alike?
Current tutorial isn’t going to be in the final version. We want to deliver you tutorial divided into 5 lessons. Each lesson is going to be shorter than the current tutorial. But what’s more interesting, you will have the opportunity to experience it with the next update (04.04.2019). Each lesson will help you with something else. Of course, the first one must tell the player about expeditions and explorers (and character creator, we definitely can’t leave you alone with such a difficult task alone), but every other will bring new mechanics, like Press or Property Management.
However, each tutorial will be locked (we’re going to unlock 4 out of 5 in the period between next update and full release) due to career progress. After the next milestones in the career player will unlock new tutorials. This way a new player won’t have to learn everything at once and the process of learning won’t be too demanding.
The fifth lesson is going to be locked until the full release. This certain tutorial will introduce the player to more advanced tactics. We are locking it because playing Archeo with that knowledge might impact the first experience and it’s not meant to learn that before the first play. We even assume that player during the career will learn all the tactics presented in tutorial 5 and it won’t change the experience for him (or her).
What’s more about the tutorial? Like always, there will be Cuppy to guide you. And she will have a voice! All 5 tutorials are going to have voice over for Cuppy and her babbling. We wanted to deliver the voice over quicker, but it would be more expensive to divide work for voice actor into a few gigs when we can take care of it when all the tutorials are in place. (There’s also a little chance that we would also use Cuppy in the career and we need her voice there, but we didn’t tell you anything about it.)
Cheers!
