Tutorial Squad/Campaign Refresh

[contributor]

I just picked up TA again recently. I've had to reinstall everything and start over due to an unfortunate incident with my device and the kitchen sink.

I figured I might as well play the tutorial squad again just as a warm up. I noticed lots of bugs on it, in terms of unclear level descriptions, doors that can be walked through, unclear campaign flow.

I was just thinking that as you're going through and refreshing levels with new consistent icons and things this should probably be given top billing since it will be a lot of players introduction to TA. They may even be deciding whether to purchase the elite version or not based on this campaign. I know veteran players probably aren't excited about this but I think it would important overall for the long-term success of the game.

contributor - thanks for the suggestion. We added this to our own todo list a few weeks ago as #TA-893. I have put a link to this forum post in the ticket so that we can share updates here.

We plan to include a more tailored introduction to the game that is a mix of short challenging levels that walk you through the concepts AND tell a classic Templar story.

Awesome exactly what I was thinking. The tutorial should in some ways be one of your best campaigns.

Agreed, lurker. The tutorial is the most likely point for new players to start (duh, haha) and having it be a fun experience would really influence people to start tossing money at the TB.

By fire and steel, brothers!
A new 5 level tutorial is born to make Templar Assault proud!

[johndramey]

Oh man! Is it up now? I'll go try it out.

johndramey - next update, whenever that is

[xdesperado]

Tease Brothers strikes again!

Just kidding, can't wait to check it out myself. ;D

[johndramey]

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the update. And I'm going to accept your challenge that you made on facebook, haha

[johndramey]

So this update I just downloaded, does it include the campaign updates for Vengeance of the Templar? I'm waiting to start it up!

[fallen]

Sorry - the update is not out yet. There are some updates to Vengeance, but you might want to wait until tonight when we hammer out the new TA release.

[johndramey]

Roger that, boss. I'll wait until the update has been pushed.
