This was my final year project at university which was to create a non-textual videogame tutorial.

 

This tutorial teaches by using visual cues to communicate to the player what to do. This is done through the use of composition and textures that guide the player's actions.

 

Most tutorials seem to use text as a way to get the player learning, however this can be distracting; killing the pace and immersion of the game. A videogames's tutorial is the first part of a videogame that the player encounters. Becuase of this it is important to create an experience that is both enjoyable and sets the ton for the rest of the game. 

 

Below are several screenshots from the video game tutorial, which was made in the Unreal engine 3.
