Bringing The Plucky Squire to Life

The Plucky Squire is a game that offers a fresh take on the concept of perspective-shifting mechanics, with characters that exist inside a 2D book but can jump out to explore the world in 3D. The game's developer, All Possible Futures, has been working on the title for several years, and its co-founder Jonathan Biddle has been driven by the fear that someone else might come up with a similar idea first. To mitigate this risk, the team released a trailer quite early, which garnered a lot of positive reactions and interest from players. Biddle believes that the game's unique mechanics, combined with its lighthearted and joyful tone, are key to its appeal. The team's small size, with only 23 people at its peak, presented some challenges, but also allowed for a more agile and flexible development process. Despite the difficulties, Biddle is proud of what the team has achieved, and is hopeful that the game will live up to its potential and resonate with players.
