Hello Squires! We’ve added a brand new mode to The Plucky Squire in today’s update. In Streamlined Mode, you’ll play through Jot’s adventures at a quicker tempo! We’ve been looking at the feedback about the game, and one of the points that came up was that the pacing was a little too slow for some players. Enter: Streamlined Mode! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42507006/574632c2e69ceffd5593bbb013df893bcd88e299.png Streamlined Mode Streamlined mode is intended for more experienced players who want less guidance and more action.

Kids today don’t know how good they’ve got it. Sure, the planet’s on fire and they’ll spend most of their future looking after me in a retirement home as I ramble about how good I used to be at Balatro, but have you seen the games they’ve been getting lately? Back in my day, children’s games were dismal 3D platformer movie tie-ins—not magical storybook adventures made with real love and care that ingeniously riff on 2D Zelda, yet also have tons of personality all of their own. Bah!.. Read more.

As we work on our next update with more improvements and fixes, our friends at Devolver Digital have been busy! They have just released a short film about the development of The Plucky Squire.

A story 23 years in the making As our studio's first game, we are so grateful that people want to play our game. The first inkling of this game started when James & Bidds met in 2001. Though they went their separate ways, they have wanted to make a game together ever since. We are so happy that we can share that game with all of you now. This stunning papercraft launch trailer was made with Paper Engineers, Julia Yus and Yeray Pérez Vallejo. The Plucky Squire is now available. We hope it can bring a bit of the joy we felt while making it. The story behind the story On a trip to Japan James end

I really wanted to like action adventure The Plucky Squire more than I do now, having given its charming 2D to 3D platforming a proper whirl. Yes, it's lovely to look at. Yes, hopping out of a storybook and making friends with an illustration on a coffee mug is cool. And yes, everyone can have a mildly fun time with its puzzles and fights. But that's the problem: who is everyone? At first I thought, "This game is for young kids and that's fine!", given its relative simplicity. Then I hit some puzzles and thought, "Ain't no kid figuring this out". Then it hit me. It struggles to balance the fin
