Serious problem with the tutorial

[Almo]

Hi!

I've been playing all sorts of games (from Robotron to EVE) for decades, and I just tried the AI War demo. The tutorial asked me to move my scout. I misclicked something, and found myself in a completely different place (clicked to send view through, I think), and had no guidance on how to get back. Unfortunately, with such a complex game I don't really feel like fighting with the tutorial to learn how it works.

As a veteran game developer, I know how frustrating and difficult it is to make tutorials. I just thought you might like some direct feedback instead of another analytic saying someone stopped after 5 minutes in the tutorial.

It sounds to me like you ended up on another world. If you hit TAB you should see the star chart. From there you should be able to see your own world (in green iirc) and click on it on the star chart to go back.

Feel free to continue fighting with the game to learn how it works.  It's a complex and difficult game, and sometimes, the only thing that works is a nuke (mk 3).



(AKA the tutorials teach you the raw basics and finish off with "you're going to die a lot" and throw you into the shark pool).
