Tutorial

Why changing the tutorial?

Currently the tutorial advances on its own. There's a lot of text and is always going to be unclear on how to do the steps. The idea is to change the tutorial with one that is more active, can point at things on your screen, such as where to go or where to click, and has an UI that you can always read.

Player goals

• Look, move, use items and your inventory
• Forage, handcrafting, eating, trading with the village, talking with villagers
• Building a mine, a farm, housing

Alien Species (WIP)

WIP game document for a hive-based, antagonistic species in the galaxy. These would start getting into play later down the wipe, rather than from day 1.

Design

The Alien Species adds a bit of unpredictability for explorers and a (communal) goal for PvE players

The Alien Species spawn in the core regions of the galaxy. Instead of building cities, they will infect planets and sectors over time by building special towers on them. The longer these towers are present, the more the infected planets upgrade, the stronger the enemies, defenses and ships that come from here. Eventually they will occupy the next sector over, and repeat, until they reach the middle of the galaxy.
