It was architecting flows and talking to other departments to be sure everything was in line for newcomers. As it is a big team, the complexity of collaborating added a lot of layers into these flow,s which led to very interesting discussions with our many dependencies while exploring the following questions:

  • If the core game is so hard, would players benefit from forcing Tutorials?

  • How do we prioritise which features go first?

  • What mechanics are key?

  • What do we not teach?

These led to the creation of the following three studies for our onboarding ecosystem. Learn Study, AB Test and Mechanic Analysis.

The puzzle of FTUX has many pieces, which can cause a domino effect. Our objective in the end was to leave it sort of open and allow the player to choose to give more agency. Some changes we did were insignificant, statistically speaking, but they had a qualitative impact, which was good for us as we were aware that if we couldn’t change the core of the game, we needed at least to make it more comfortable, which was the outcome of our qualitative studies.

However, there is a huge update for the FTUX 2.0. coming soon with new features, better guidance, and cool updates to our current onboarding ecosystem.
