Improved Accessibility to Newcomers


Today's deployment includes a variety of additions and improvements aimed mainly at making the game more approachable for new players. In particular:
  • There is now a Newcomers' Guide available prominently in the Capital.
  • The video tutorial has been partitioned into three easier-to-digest pieces and updated to reflect developments in the game over the past few months.
  • Each video tutorial is now also available as a text transcript.
  • There is now a single example detachment, and it is used in the battling tutorial.
  • There is now a documentation area available in the Capital, containing detailed information on all aspects of the game.

Returning players will also notice the following changes:
  • Improved Capital screen.
  • Top commanders section has been renamed the Podium.
  • Forums and the Podium now open in their own screens.
  • Smaller Luna map -- it felt too large for only two players.
Looking forward, I will now be focusing on promoting Catastrophe X in order to build a larger player base. More on that soon!
