Era Tutorial Upgrade is needed badly!!!!!!

I posted on "Graal Era - Jea's First" Look thread but I am posting here as well. If the staff really cares about "Future Improvments" section of this forum they should really watch this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW-Htp--FI0&app=desktop

This is a perfect example to see at first hand what a new user experiences when trying Graal Era for the first time. Currently the tutorial does nothing to draw the person in to the game. It's failing badly.

His video makes Era look so boring and stupid. Era should really spruce up that tutorial?!!!! This is what I would do:

• As each task that was completed, make more surprising flashy graphics and sound effects!!!! Not just boring text. Make it something like my "streak" graphic when streaking. Make it like and achievement game. Cha Ching! SFX maybe earn some small gralats as your doing it.

• Maybe the first step in the tutorial is, force the person to pick his own look. Not making the person look like the noob. By doing this the new player could get negative crap from other players before getting to know the game. It even happens in the video by another noob. Any other game, when your first start, the first thing you do is choose your character.

• Why is there a lame farmer noob the one showing you what to do? It really should be the Era Title Screen character doing it. It should be him throughout the whole tutorial. Keep it consistent.

• Fix the punctuation and spelling errors

The whole tutorial needs to be revamped. The tutorial should be pulling you in the game with excitement. Not boring the crap out of you.

I have posted so many good ideas that were never address and just ignored. I wonder if this would be ignored too. Heck I will even help do it if they want?

Attachment 11796 i made a head from that guy in the beginning screen,and maybe replace the head with this head.

Yes man, they need to do something about this now.

I saw Breezy.

I have to agree. The tutorial now is really not up to standard as it doesn't really show must aspects on how to actually play the game in a proper manner.

I have an idea of one.

Concept

(There will be a chat thing showing directions)
You will wake up from bed and you hear gunshots. You look out the window and you try to stay hidden from the gang battle. Someone finds you and takes you as a hostage. 'We have a hostage! Get off our turf now!' The gang leader says.
(In this point, you have to talk) Type in 'Please!', the other gang leader says 'Okay, fine!'. He takes you to his home base. (In this part, you have to learn to shoot, get money, spar, and buy a gun) 'Alright, let's teach this kid some stuff eh? Gotta protect himself' (Press the bottom left buttons to move) (After you complete that mission) 'Great! Now you know how to move. Apparently you do got legs. Haha! Go buy yourself a gun kid, take these 100$, I think that's enough for a pistol!' (After you buy the pistol from the merchant) 'Alright, let's get things rolling!' (Press the bottom right buttons to shoot) 'Great, I think he's ready. But before you go. Let's have a spar match eh?!' (Scenario if you win) 'Dang kid, you got skills! Good, you know what to do now. Get out there and face this Era!' (Scenario if you lose) You did good kid, after all this is your first spar match. Hopefully you're used to the battlegrounds. Now get out there and face this Era!'

Does it sound good? :)

Great idea

I agree with anything that would attract players to the game

I feel like mine has a weird feeling to it.

The grammar parts were partially because some developer couldn't correctly use GUI typing. But I do agree, it's quite boring. It seems like bad acting in a game if that's even possible.

It really should be this guy walking you through the whole tutorial. He should be there always, training you. I know it nice to have snk, layerd and homeless witch in there but at this point in the game you really don't know who they are yet. Maybe this guy introduces you to them. Like "hey this is Layerd. He can help you throughout the game tap on him...".

I make grammar and spelling errors all the time. I hate when I do and don't catch them. But whatever the reason, It looks unprofessional to have spelling errors in a game.

He's the guy from the main title screen. I just photoshopped him in a screen to show my concept. But yes I was thinking he should be the tutorial guy.

BTW I like your story idea. A little intro storyline great idea!!!

Thank you :) And you did actually get the man from the title screen. just needs a gun. ;)

I totally agree with this thread. Maybe you should hook up some more flashy graphics for the tutorial Robg? :p

Ah Yes! I really would do way more but without a formal request from staff saying they would change/update the tutorial? I don't want to put all this effort and time in to be just another one of my ideas not addressed. I am actually a little insulted that none of my submitted "future improvments" ideas were ever executed in era.

It really needs to be storyboarded out before moving forward. I do have real life experience in this area. I create graphics for interactive multimedia programs for my real like job.

But still, you should do this dude. Itd seem pointless if all this work didnt make it. I think we need to show this to someone who can actually change the stuff. snk? layerd? hw?

Now that I remembered,my cousin was in my house at the time. I was playing Graal Era and I showed him me basing with Navy at PZ. Then he comments:"It looks like Pokemon."
I don't know how,but I guess he was saying it looked childish. :/

Pkmn~

Huh?

Knowing Era's staff they wont come to ask for something to improve their tutorial unless it is mentioned by someone wanting to do so. If Snk comes upon this thread then I'm sure he would make some changes.

Lets hope for the best shall we? :)
