Tried combining the music of #OuterWilds with #Undertale

#gamedesign bit, I've found short simple tutorials to be the most well received by playtesters in #gamedev. Few words, focused action, clear feedback, starts and ends quickly. Detailed descriptions do little if the player skips it all.

SpellWheel has an interesting premise on it. You have two wheels filled with runes that you combine to cast a plethora of spells! Find the best combos for each fight and work towards recovering your love from DEATH himself!

Some playtesters thought my game's starting tutorials were a bit plain, so I spiffed them up with a surprise intro from the next opponent. #gamedev #indiedev #tutorialdesign
