Robb Plat Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think Niche needs a better tutorial (for new players), as it doesn't offer enough information. Long-time players will have no trouble with Niche, but many rules in Niche and basic stuff seems intuitive to us, but newer players need to be told about it at least once. The best time to convey these messages is through an optional tutorial (In Story Mode). e.g. 1 gem = 1 action 3 gems max, so 3 actions per turn. Introduce predators, such as predatory bird and what they do. Possibly add cool cutscenes that introduce the perils of the game. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticTopaz Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The Niche Team has acknowledged that they do need to improve their tutorial, but since that hasn't been implemented yet I hope they take a look at this suggestion and get some inspiration from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a new player, but I can see it being a deterrent for new players as they have no idea what is going on. Basically everything we take for granted in terms of knowing how the game works, as we are experienced players, they might not know and that can be frustrating as the game may not be intuitive. As far as I know, the tutorial or instructions need information on: - the genetics (autosomal, X-linked, dominant, recessive, etc.) - the actions per turn and the aging process - the objective of the mode (Story mode and Sandbox mode) - predators and prey etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
