this is a fantastic video on how to make good tutorials for any kind of game - not just the strategy games he’s talking about in the video

@kasdeya if dwarf fortress had a better tutorial i’d be playing it way more

@kasdeya A very good video, and he managed to put into words the reason why I tend to bounce off grand strategy games. Those often have tutorials that are either insufficient to learn how to play, or completely overwhelming with a flood of information. But due to the long feedback loop of those kinds of games, it's pretty hard to design a better, more interactive tutorial...

Balancing onboarding new players with allowing veterans to jump right in sounds challenging.
