Finished finally the switch from a reactive to a guided tutorial. Here is the melee part. #indiedev #gameplay

@ioriamanta Most feedback is from playtesters. Then I looked who streamed my game. Then I have one streamer in my Discord channel who posted his stream, which was really helpful.

It was mentioned in two playtests but no one got really stuck.
I think one issue was that my main two playtesters were playing the game from iteration to iteration. So they knew game mechanics.
On Youtube/Twitch I just saw how people were not using certain mechanics. Some didn't know how to switch spells or that you can kick the barrels towards the enemies.

Cropageddon Demo Observations: The reactive tutorial is not good enough and breaks the flow. Players often didn't know what to do. So I am switching now to a proactive tutorial which guides the player to the most important functions. #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

@FTZombie It should work. I opened a private tab and the button is visible.

@FTZombie Nope, not really. Steamworks says today were 26 downloads. I will have a look this evening.
