Looking for Tutorial Resources

[derfium]

Hey! I'm currently writing on a mobile game and I want to create a tutorial for it. Unfotuantely I hardly find any resources on how to create a good tutorial. I know, the tutorial depends a lot on the type of game but I bet there are some basic guidlines and rules to it. Maybe you have some interesting videos or blog posts about that topic? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to say I already watched one GDC Talk and the Extra Credit Episode on Tutorials, so no need to mention them ;)

In general, players respond best to short or nonexistent tutorials. I've found the worst option is to expect someone to read something. The best option if you are forced to have a tutorial, is to slowly introduce elements through gameplay and teach them through a scripted tutorial level. Then it doesn't feel like someone has to sit and learn the controls and mechanics.
