Neon Tutorial UI
================

12 low-poly tutorial and onboarding markers for dark interfaces — deep space
blue with cyan accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Neon Tutorial UI is a set of 12 tutorial and onboarding markers drawn in the
low-poly style, where the silhouette is an angular polygon and the face is
split into flat triangles. It contains four directional callout balloons, a
solid and a dashed highlight ring, a corner-bracket highlight box, two step
indicator states, a tap mark, a drag gesture trail and a skip strip.

Every other kit in this catalogue covers part of the screen. This one points
at it, and that inverts the rules: a highlight that fills its middle hides the
thing it is highlighting, and a callout that can only point one direction is
useless on three of the four screen edges.

Four triangles meet off-centre and each carries its own flat tone, which is
exactly how a faceted mesh shades. There are no curves anywhere in the kit and
no gradient on any facet.

Inside that style this is the Neon reading of it: a dark interface on a deep
space blue palette with cyan accents, built around four corner brackets in
place of a closed border, chamfered buttons at 144x36, hollow-cored bars
divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 32px grid. Those
measurements are why two families can share an art style without being
interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide
what the interface is for.

The callout ships with the tail on each of the four sides as separate sprites
rather than one balloon to rotate, because rotating it throws the shading to
the wrong side and a tutorial balloon is used at all four screen edges in the
same session. The highlight ring and box are hollow, stroke only and no fill,
so whatever is underneath stays fully visible, which is the entire point. The
step dots are countable so a player can see how much of the tutorial is left,
which is the one thing that keeps them pressing next.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Neon family, which
means this kit and the Neon panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for low-poly games.

HOW TO USE

  - Pick the callout by which edge it sits against rather than rotating one
    sprite; the tail files are drawn so their shading stays consistent across
    all four.
  - Place the highlight ring or box over your target with nothing drawn inside
    it. A scrim belongs behind the highlight, not within it.
  - Use the dashed ring for something the player should press and the solid
    ring for something they should look at, and keep that distinction for the
    whole tutorial.
  - Drive the step dots from your real step count. A tutorial with a hidden
    length is the one players skip.
