I backed the game at a tier where I could start playing from day 1 in like, pre-alpha (which was way back in like December of 2023), so I was fortunately able to slowly learn it alongside everyone else in Discord and gradually pick up tips and tricks along the way. This helped make learning about the game a lot more manageable for me since not only were all of us progressing through the game together and discovering and learning all its mechanics, I’d also get to follow and understand all the individual patches/updates as they were rolled out and changed things up (and after each update, for example, all of us in Discord would be discussing what changed and what that meant or how it’d affect us). And so along with all of that, I’d like to consider myself a bit more well-informed thanks in no small part to everyone else’s help too! This would probably be in contrast to players jumping into the game at EA and who are suddenly flooded with a bunch of mechanics and knowledge and the questions of “What to do?” or “How do I do this?” while playing the catch-up game. | I backed the game at a tier where I could start playing from day 1 in like, pre-alpha (which was way back in like December of 2023), so I was fortunately able to slowly learn it alongside everyone else in Discord and gradually pick up tips and tricks along the way.

I’m not going to say there isn’t a huge learning curve, because imo there is one (albeit not as bad if you have any Elona background), so here’s this guide that’s my way of… contributing to the amazing Elona/Elin community! And also to just share some of my knowledge and experiences from my (currently) ~ | I’m not going to say there isn’t a huge learning curve, because imo there is one (albeit not as bad if you have any Elona background), so here’s this guide that’s my way of… contributing to the amazing Elona/Elin community! And also to just share some of my knowledge and experiences from my (currently) ~510 hours of pre-EA Elin gameplay to help newer players not feel like, “Boo bad game, too complicated, I’m done” before they’ve really experienced even a fraction of what the game has to offer. I’m honestly not as hardcore as some of the other players in Discord (and I still turn to them frequently for help), so think of this as… maybe a more friendly guide for newbies too! Where I might be able to better understand and see things more from a newer player’s perspective! But also, I’m going to cover a lot of obvious things—so obvious that some people might facepalm and ask why I’m covering such topics—to which I say, just look at some of the questions on the Steam Discussion boards or on Discord. That should be proof enough. | ||
