Summary0021853: More obvious tutorial button and tutorial prompt when starting game
DescriptionAs evidenced by this Steam discussion some people can miss the tutorial button: https://steamcommunity.com/app/573410/discussions/0/1606022547912864436/

It should likely the most obvious thing on the main menu. At least make it bigger and/or move it under Single Player where people are likely to spot it when they click to start a new game.

The game should also prompt you (only once) to play the tutorial if you attempt to start a new game without having ever played one. If you decline, it should tell you how to find the tutorial later on.

I like the tutorial button where it is, but I also support adding it under the Single Player menu.

I also definitely like prompting the player to go to tutorials before their first game.

By and large I suspect if someone tries to play their first game without the tutorials they will probably bounce off the game, so we really want to encourage people to do it.

Thanks!

* The first time you click the Single Player menu (after this build), it gives you a modal prompt asking you if you'd like to do the tutorials first, or if you'd like to just play. This should help prevent people from missing that there are tutorials.
** We did NOT add the tutorials to the Single Player menu, however, as that just gets very cluttered and makes the whole menu harder to read

* The Tutorials button on the right side of the main menu is now colorized and flashes very subtly every half second between two almost-identical colors. This should be much more noticeable without being obnoxious, and without cluttering up something like the single-player menu.
