Tutorial + Void VFX Update

✦ TUTORIAL + VOID VFX UPDATE ✦ A new player tutorial and several Void spell visual upgrades have been added to The Anxious Witch. ✦ NEW PLAYER TUTORIAL ✦ A guided introduction now helps new and returning players understand Miyu’s journey and the game’s core systems. The tutorial includes: • An opening story sequence introducing Miyu and the world. • A visit to the Guild, where Elara welcomes Miyu. • An introduction to the Guild and its role in progression. • Guidance for entering the battlefield. • A paused battlefield walkthrough so instructions can be read safely. • An explanation of waves, combat, upgrades, and the main gameplay loop. • Early hints about powerful spells that will require careful timing and planning as the waves become harder. Tutorial progress is saved after completion, preventing the introduction from repeating every time the game is loaded. ✦ UPDATED VOID SPELL VFX ✦ Several existing Void spells have received visual improvements to make their attacks clearer, more recognizable, and more impactful during combat. ✦ VOID BALL ✦ Void Ball now has updated VFX that better represent its unstable Void energy and magical impact. The new effect gives the projectile a stronger visual identity while keeping it readable during large enemy waves. ✦ BLACK FIRE ✦ Black Fire now applies a new burn shader to affected enemies. While an enemy is burning: • Void-colored flames flicker around the outer edges of its sprite. • The flames rise above the enemy while preserving the game’s pixel-art style. • Brighter highlights make the heat and active burn easier to recognize. ✦ BLACK LIGHTNING ✦ Black Lightning has received updated VFX that make each strike feel faster, sharper, and more powerful. The improved effect makes the spell easier to identify during busy battles while giving it a stronger Void appearance. ✦ DEVELOPMENT UPDATE ✦ These tutorial and VFX improvements are part of a larger development pass focused on presentation, clarity, and early-game progression. More work is underway for: • Enemy graphics and animations. • Spell and impact VFX. • Story progression. • Tutorials and player guidance. • New bosses, spells, and Void abilities.
