A very short and quick animated tutorial would be good...just the basics like passing, shooting, boosting, vollying, keeping.

And...lock the game so they can't come on-line till they have watched it

Has any work gone into making an 'in game' tutorial like in most games?

Post by **DavidM** » 06-09-2004 16:43

design doc is done and we got the necessary lines spoken by a professional voice actor. we just lack coders!

:p

ALso, i agree Inphidel's tutorial is great, on the day that the nex version is out and ready for download, we should highlight it on the main deathball.net page.

I say ban volley only games for 2 weeks or so from the start of release. If you guys want these people to be serious about ladders, well then you have to start them off on the right foot.

ban volley games for the next 25 years, that would help!

Atari must give support to everything they sell. They should mirror all the updates needed for all the mods included in ECE.
At least, they should provide links to download the patches in the official Atari page and Epic should do so in Unreal Tournament's official site.

If both don't do it, I'll be extremely dissapointed with them.

we'll try to conform 2.1 and 2.3
