tutorial real?!?!

Spotlight Paradox (IN ALPHA)
A downloadable prototype for Windows and macOS

hiiiii finally after all these years i have conjured a tutorial that should make sense! it's not just a bunch of still images with text anymore, it's all play as you go and comprehensive! and this was a painfully obvious show of how much i need to tweak the ui ough i'll get to it after i finish messing with the vampire info page

its been a long time coming, really the main reason why this took so long is because i've been ironing out a lot of internal documentation which!!! is almost done?? hopefully dev will go back to smooth sailing

i started getting to work on the first non-tutorial case too and goodness gracious it's a treat

oh right that means spoiling the mystery i almost forgot--

methinks the last things i really need in order to make this feel like a properly finished vslice is:

  • backgrounds (which are designed)
  • music (i legit have no idea what i wanna go for but i'll figure it out)
  • vampire guide ui (technically ready just needs polish and code)
  • textbox ui (specifically the textbox on the bottom i actually like how the chat bubbles look)
  • the 87th review of me making sure all the conclusions are actually reachable

hopefully that review will take a lot less time than before, i realized that i had a big oopsie with a dialogue hookup and that's why it was so hard to get the conclusions (it was literally impossible) (i'm so sorry for my crimes i'm so embarrassed by what i overlooked)

hope you enjoy the update! if there's anything unclear about the tutorial or you run into any bugs lmk!
