When I first launched the game on Steam, it had an episodic format (and only ep. 1 was available). Some devs advised me episodic games won't sell very well.
That made me sad, but, just like Courage, I decided to confront this issue and not give up until the very end.
Now, I'm proud to announce "Glisten to your heart: The courage within you" is not an episodic game anymore. It tells a full story, which came to an emotional conclusion for Sam, Andrea, Courage and of course... You.
I had redesigned the game to make perfect endings (yes, there is more than one possible ending), made new cutscenes, made the affection system have an impact in the story too, made story alterations... I even had to remove Andrea's mom from the story, but if you decide to follow Andrea's route, you'll even encounter a new surprise character at the end.
This has been an emotional journey for me, as a developer, and I hope you'll feel the same way when playing the full tale of Courage.
Please enjoy my new game and don't ever forget to Glisten to your heart, no matter what.
Oh, and a free demo is now available too! With it, you can have a great impression on what's on the full game. Here's what's in it:
- In terms of story, it covers a day in the life of Courage until she finally decides to go to our world, Virtuanland. It's a good way to feel the premise of the story
- It covers 2 of the 4 minigames ("Talk to all" and "Choose correct thoughts" are not included until later in the game) found on the full game
- You can make 2 (or 3, depending on your choices) of the main game's big decisions
- You'll get to meet 5 of the main characters and will have an idea of what should Courage do to complete her mission
- You'll help your first virtuan (even though he's not technically a virtuan. You'll see xD)
- All your progress can be transferred to the full game
