The Plucky Squire is an indie action-adventure game made by All Possible Futures, a game development studio founded by James Turner, the former art director for Pokemon Sword and Shield and Jonathan Biddle, one of the creators of the indie platformer, Thomas Was Alone.

BTS: The Making of The Plucky Squire Launch Trailer

Alongside the patch, a “Making Of” video of The Plucky Squire’s launch trailer has been released. This behind-the-scenes footage offers insight into the creative process behind the game’s promotional material.

The trailer’s whimsical and papercraft-inspired art style was brought to life through the work of paper engineers, Julia Yus and Yeray Perez Vallejo at a studio in Madrid. Their expertise in crafting pop-ups and paper models has truly captured the visual style of the game.

The BTS video offers a glimpse into the intricacies of the development process behind The Plucky Squire. It dives deep into how physical paper models were meticulously crafted to recreate the storybook visuals and the effort required to blend this art style in a game.

The Plucky Squire is available on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch for $29.99 USD.
