It was too static and generic. About 100% of the environmental art has been enhanced. We revised all characters and, in some cases, completely redesigned them. There is improved dynamic lighting, wind, and particle effects. The art feels more alive and animated.<\/p>\n<p>We later considered the story. This was definitely one of the strongest aspects of the game, but again, we knew we could do better. New mechanics have been added, primarily combat mechanics. We created a simple, streamlined combat and progression system so we could go even bigger with our fantasy story\u2014and it worked. Everything about <em>Newfound Courage<\/em> is grander, the stakes are higher, and battling the \u2018big bad\u2019 to the death offers more satisfaction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-1.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-167753 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-10.jpg 940w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-11.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-13.jpg 800w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-14.jpg 592w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-15.jpg 518w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-16.jpg 208w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-17.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Screenshot_4-55aaa52f89a301aee808.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-10.jpg 940w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-11.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-13.jpg 800w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-14.jpg 592w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-15.jpg 518w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-16.jpg 208w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-17.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>The next paragraph includes spoilers, so please skip it if you haven\u2019t played the game yet. At the end of <em>Newfound Courage<\/em>, Alex doesn\u2019t receive his happily-ever-after; his love is unrequited. Now, that hasn\u2019t changed. However, we still felt Alex deserved to find love. This was the perfect opportunity to introduce a new DLC, Return to Otherwhere. <\/p>\n<p>It sees Alex return home and face his demons (literally) as he fights to uncover the truth about his hometown. A fresh cast of unique characters, otherworldly sceneries and a deep delve into Alex\u2019s past grants the overall game a new edge. This additionally gave us the chance to create more music, and the remake includes roughly six new tracks, including an eerie carnival piece.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-2.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-167754 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-18.jpg 940w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-19.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-20.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-21.jpg 800w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-22.jpg 592w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-23.jpg 518w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-24.jpg 208w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-25.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Screenshot_3-665ebf1381d25c931362.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-18.jpg 940w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-19.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-20.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-21.jpg 800w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-22.jpg 592w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-23.jpg 518w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-24.jpg 208w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story-25.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>We can\u2019t wait to see what you think, the builds you create, and the boyfriend you ultimately choose. <em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-us\/games\/store\/newfound-courage\/9nch34pk3sgz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Newfound Courage<\/strong><\/a><\/em> <\/em>officially launches on Xbox on June 24.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cafeemptygames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check us out on Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Related:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2022\/06\/17\/next-week-on-xbox-new-games-for-june-20-to-24\/\">Next Week on Xbox: New Games for June 20 to 24<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2022\/06\/24\/how-the-brand-new-newfound-courage-remake-uses-combat-to-tell-a-story\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Newfound Courage, the much loved gay indie game, has been remade and is coming to Xbox in time for Pride on Jun 24.
