Tutorials
Since the release of the demo, and basically since people have had their hands on the game, we've had reports about the difficulty to understand straight away how the game (picking phases in particular) is supposed to be played.
So we decided it was time to add some tutorial screens, similar to what you can find in Mario Party games with a short description and a video clip showing the players what they are supposed to be doing. We'll also add commands to these screens in the next updates.
For now they only show the first time you encounter a specific picking phase, they then only reappear if you restart the game, but this may be up to change as we add more picking phases.
Background animations
As we knew a graphic rework was planned, background animations were always put back. But following the recent update featuring the final graphic rework we were waiting for, background animations went back on top of our todolist and here they are.
Some backgrounds still have no animations (Lobby & Trampolines) and these are coming in the next updates.
Steam Next Fest
Quick side note on the upcoming Steam Next Fest we are taking part in, we added a feedback panel directly in the main menu. This panel will be removed after the festival and is not meant to stay.
Feel free to use it as much as you like from now to the end of the festival to share with us bugs, ideas,... , anything is appreciated.
You will still be able to send us feedback after the festival using the report panel located in Settings.
