Ponzool Tutorial Flow Pro

Teach players while they keep playing

Ponzool Tutorial Flow Pro is an Inspector-authored Godot 4 framework for non-blocking, objective-driven onboarding. Show the current objective, mark a real Control, Node2D, or Node3D target, and advance only when the player performs the real action.

The default flow does not pause the SceneTree, darken the full screen, steal focus, or consume unrelated gameplay input.

What you can build

• Survival onboarding: observe movement, Area entry, proximity, filtered collection events, crafting UI, and combat.
• Roguelike onboarding: mark live or off-screen objectives without freezing the run, and skip completed objectives from initial facts.
• Save-aware onboarding: restore the current Step, facts, counters, branch history, and hint state through your existing save system.
