-Expected Issues-
Missing audio. I've no idea how to fix this yet, but it while it runs flawlessly on my machine, on my brothers laptop, half the sounds and some music just won't play. Strange.
Please let me know if there are any other issues, such as the game being a complete mess and unplayable (Which I'm half expecting). If you've not got enough time to play, you can simply watch me play through the demo below. Feedback/Criticism/Bug reports welcome. Enjoy.
All it does here is change his animations/sounds a bit. It will have two functions in the finished game:
1. Acts as a sort of difficulty setting. When brave, there will be more enemies around, so think of having courage as a "hard mode".
2. Changes the path you take. Reaching a certain point in "hard mode" will change how story segments play out. This will then send you to completely different levels later on.
Courage goes down a fair amount when you take a hit, and is replenished ever so slightly when you defeat an enemy. It is not reset if you lose a life. You can adjust it in the demo purely to see if the audio/visual representation was working.
Thanks for giving it a go, Ricky. Much appreciated.
