Devlog - of Tutorials and Music (AGAIN)


🎮 Introduction

Heroes and troublemakers, today’s update brings something everyone asked for (and some didn’t even know they needed): a real tutorial. Goodbye boring walls of text, hello in-game instructions that pop up while you play.
And that’s not all — we polished the camera, the interface, transitions, visuals, and even the soundtrack.

✨ Main Changes

  • Revamped Tutorial: instructions now appear right when you need them, on screen, while playing.

  • Clearer Interaction Icon: the icon now follows the player, making it much easier to notice when you can interact with something.

  • Camera Anticipation: the camera now stays slightly ahead of AK, giving you a better view of what’s coming.

  • Smooth Transitions: added fade-in and fade-out effects when changing screens.

  • Art Touch-ups: small visual improvements to polish the overall experience.

  • New Music by Gabriel Amadeu: a brand-new Main Theme and the cozy Tavern Theme are now in the game! (check his work at Stream mĂşsica de Gabriel Amadeu | Ouça a mĂşsicas, álbuns, playlists gratuitamente online no SoundCloud )

🛠️ Behind the Scenes

Getting this done was like teaching a goblin to give a lecture: messy, but worth it.

  • The tutorial required rewriting parts of the UI and tying events directly to gameplay.

  • The interaction icon needed rethinking HUD logic so it could follow the player without being intrusive.

  • The camera was recalibrated to stay ahead of where the bard is facing, giving more clarity of what lies ahead.

  • Transitions now use fades instead of harsh cuts.

  • And of course, the music — Gabriel Amadeu worked his magic, and it shows.

The result? A clearer, smoother, and more immersive experience.

📅 What’s Next

  • General improvements.

  • Balance tweaks based on your feedback.

  • We are making a "Especial edition" of sorts, with some new features, BUT, we do not have a list of features or a release date yet.

🙌 How You Can Help

  • Try the new tutorial and tell us: is it easier to understand now?

  • Share your thoughts on the camera, HUD, and new music!
