is there any sort of pattern through getting brave points? im kinda confused
Hi!! I don't super recall off the top of my head, and all of the points are listed in a document available for download on the itch.io page if you donate like 2.99$, but -
I'm pretty sure the game most actively tracks cowardice and cruelty - known as "bad points" in my code. Ways to get bad points include... trying to run away by yourself without helping anybody, avoiding proper communication, accusing people of bad intentions, insulting people... and most recently, flipping off a dog!
"Valor points" are often actions you can take to offset any bad points you unintentionally accrue - for example, maybe you accuse someone of having bad intentions (+1 bad point) but then immediately realize it's a misunderstanding and apologize to them (-1 bad point / +1 "valor point"). Maybe you meant to banter with someone in a friendly way but they took it as an insult (+1 bad point), so later on you try to make up with them by complimenting them instead (-1 bad point / +1 "valor point").
Flipping off a dog might net you more than 1 bad point in a single go, though...!
The idea is that the game won't punish you for a few "bad points" because they could be accidental, but a player who collects a LOT is likely to be attempting an evil run, and the game may treat them accordingly.
So the way to get brave points is... try your best to be brave and communicate well with the characters, I think! But er, again, I don't totally remember ;;;; Maybe another player can chime in - I'd sure appreciate it!!!
