I quite understand that it is WIP. However, as I stated in my feedback you should do a ''ride-along'' type tutorial. Do not introduce every concept at the game start. This makes the intro way too long to effectively hold attention. If you do not hold the rookie's attention they learn effectively [b]nothing[/b], which defeats your purpose. Introduce the complaints one by one. For example start the mission off explaining you need to plop factory immediately and get mexes asap! Watch this guy here. Show sped up version of a standard start. Give control to player with objectives plop factory and make 3 mexes.

And so on. Just an example. Also try to keep them in control while this is explaining things to them so they can continue to build and what not instead of taking them away from the game.

- Do not take control away from the player unless its neccessary. Theyll likely go [quote] Yawn.. what do I do now while this idiot is explaining things. Ye gods he goes on forever! Ugh. I just want to play around with robots![/quote]

- Try to do explanations in 20 seconds or less and explain one thing at a time and allow the rookie to try it out before moving onto the next common complaint.
