Suggestions / Creating a Tutorial
« on: January 20, 2012, 07:16:34 pm »
While X-COM has a fairly sizeable fan community that still manages to keep growing after all these years, I still find that most beginners seem to run into trouble with getting started with the two original games. Everytime I introduce the game to a friend, I often get bombarded with questions on how to do this or that. It is true the game's learning curve is not necessarily the steepest there is, but I also don't think it to be exactly comfortable for new players to figure it out without fully reading the game manual (which is rarely available) or asking someone for help. So I propose that we, as a community, reach out to all new players out there, and create a simplified X-COM in-game tutorial to be incorporated as part of OpenXcom.

My idea is to create a 3 part tutorial covering the following game events:

Tutorial 1
  • Basic Geoscape and base management controls
  • Basic research
  • Simulation of a UFO interception

Tutorial 2
  • Battlescape tutorial

Tutorial 3
  • Advanced base management
  • Advanced research tree
  • Troop management and stats
  • "End of the Month" screen and foreign relations

From what I've seen of it, it appears to be a hasty translation at best. Seems too close from the original english source text. Almost like a word-by-word translation.

Hello. Since there hasn't been any progress with this translation, I wonder if I could take this one for myself, or at least give you a hand with it. I have an actual degree in Translation, so I believe I could be fairly useful.
