Daily Update - March 31st, 2025

Happy almost end of March all! Today I wrapped up development on the Tutorial, so I'm flipping the internal switch that makes it visible in public builds! You should now see a new button on the Main Menu to take you to the Tutorial. Once you complete it, the button will disappear, but you can also always access the tutorial from the Compendium via a button in the top-right of that screen. This should make learning the game without random clicking and reading tooltips/just bugging me for an explanation be a lot nicer. I think there's a few more stability spots I'll be clearing up in the coming days with the tutorial, but I think its ready for public consumption. Also, I started up on implementing the first of the few achievements you can earn by playing the game. Look forward to more news on that soonish! Here's the changelog for the day:

Changelog (v0.12.0)

-----

• New Feature: Tutorial - Play through the tutorial to learn how to play the game without just clicking around and figuring stuff out via tooltips. This should provide a much nicer onboarding experience for new players
• UI: Updated the stats screen to begin to prepare for the arrival of achievements (Only visible right now in that the title moved, but there's more under the hood)
• Stability: Added some protection for missing profile files causing the game to crash on startup in some cases.
