Analytics Steps

The six analytics event steps to be used in the tutorial.

Analytics Events measure the usage of the Tutorial, and gathers data with certain variables. Each of these datapoints have to be added to a tutorial. In some cases, there might be need to have some event double. For example, if a 2-player end game flow differentiates from a solo game, the content creator must make sure that the flow passes through the ‘Completed Game End’ logic in both flows.

In the example above, the X_AN01 Completed Intro is set right after the introduction ends, and X_AN02 Completed Setup is set right after the setup is complete.

Names and Places

In most cases, the tutorial template has the Logic Blocks all set-up when starting, but if you’re starting a project from scratch, while the Analytic steps can be named freely, it is strongly suggested to name and place them in the following way:

X_AN01 Completed Intro (Right after the initial intro segment, that introduces the game.)

X_AN02 Completed Setup (Right after the setup, before the actual teaching starts.)

X_AN03 Completed First Turn (After the first player – or in some cases – the group has completed their first turn.)

X_AN04 Completed Teaching (After the all the rules of the game have been taught and players are left to play on their own, for example just before the final “play menu”.)

X_AN05 Completed Gameplay (After the game end has triggered and players have played their last turn and all that is left to determine the winner, or score the players etc.)

X_AN06 Completed Game End (Before the very last step of the tutorial “Thank you for playing”.)

Important Note! If the flow passes through a Analytics Event more than once, only the FIRST TIME is counted. So it does not matter if the tutorial passes X_AN03 several times as the first instance is only relevant.

Inside the Logic Blocks 

Each Logic Block must have the following content inside:

Analytics Event | Completed Intro

Analytics Event | Set Players | $playerscount | $var

Analytics Event | Completed Setup

 (see example below)

Analytics Event | Completed First Turn

Analytics Event | Completed Teaching

Analytics Event | Completed Gameplay

Analytics Event | Completed Game End
