I noticed the lack of response to this contest. So I figured I would give it a shot, obviously I am not an expert at flash making, but I am sure others could make one much better. Here's the link to it.

(I know there are continuity issues, heavy editing and sleeplessness causes this type of thing, the important thing is that new players can learn the game quicker, and maybe get into it before they get frustrated and quit)

Is anyone else working on a flash tutorial? Surely there are some good flash creators playing that could make something better.

I would love to tackle the project but all of my computer skills are self taught and I dunno anything about "flash".

Trying to "flesh out" a story board for a possible tutorial, but I need to know if it will be in conjunction with the school tiles or part of a replacement ... IE are we to cover everything the new player needs to know, or just what is NOT included in school?

Speaking of which: an NPC that gives quest to earn sense scroll would be good add to school

The school is going to be revamped, it is on my project list. That is still a ways off though. I am not yet certain what I will be doing with it.

Alright, finally got it uploaded to a website. It's a bit small on the site and may take a bit to load. Let me know if you can think of any changes or improvements!

good work ... I feel that we need to complement the information in the school rather than repeat it .. but yet get them to go thru it ... FAQ in the lobby from newbies would include screen resolution issues; "what if I die?"; "how do I stop from dying every ten seconds?"; "how do I know if this thing is any good?".

Very nice touch about "rich & deep content" ... brought a tear to me eye ...

While the school and tutorial is nice, new people have the ask-in-lobby option ... of course, they are subject to every ill-considered, misinformed, and short-sighted opinion that exists (and if you count my jokes in lobby, some that don't actually exist).

Is a very nice looking, but am not sure if my eyes just fussy, but was like speed reading running through that video, maybe cut down on some info, or add a extra half second pause.. to me it felt like it was going awful fast for someone who isn't sure whats going on haha
