I did a presentation on The Plucky Squire for PAX AUS this weekend. It was great fun! Described as a showcase, it's really more of a Making Of, with some exclusive behind-the-scenes videos. If you're interested in how TPS was made, check it out! twitch.tv/videos/1945638712

Posting this trailer made by @paperjulia and @minicarbonara again because... I mean come on, how do they even make something like this???

One of many great reviews of The Plucky Squire, in which they mentioned 'the soundtrack is PHENOMINAL!' thegamer.com/the-plucky-squi… OK OK I added the caps and exclamation mark.. @apossf #vgm #gamedev
The Plucky launch happened at 2am for me, so I was up at 3am to see how we got on. Worth it! Blown away by the reception. It was really not an easy game to make, but the whole team poured the entirety of their heart into it, and it looks like many have noticed. Thanks to you all!

A story 23 years in the making, The Plucky Squire is out NOW!
James & Bidds met in 2001 and have wanted to make a game together ever since. From Pokémon, to starting studios, from Japan and Australia and back to the UK
All to end up back at the beginning, making a game together

A million thanks to paper engineers, Julia Yus (@paperjulia) and Yeray Pérez Vallejo, for bringing our virtual storybook world to REAL real life.
Their art is so unique, so cute and must be shared! RTs are very appreciated ♻️

I would advise against making a game in 11 languages where you can remove and replace words to create new sentences. That's all I've got to say about this.
Had a minor heart attack when I saw @digitalfoundry analysing our performance. Glad to hear that they got to 400FPS! (Pfft, I've had 600FPS on my 4090, amateurs).
BUT! I just wanted to address the "Unreal stutter" that @dark1x mentions in the video...
Today on Digital Foundry, we had to share our excitement about The Plucky Squire - a remarkably fresh, exciting 2D/3D genre hybrid that looks simply beautiful: youtu.be/58sS9JO4ao0
I sat down the very lovely Gianni at PAX to chat about everything Plucky Squire. I really enjoyed this interview - Gianni did his homework and asked some great questions.
⚔️ THE PLUCKY SQUIRE is a fun playground for @onebitbeyond & @JamesTurner_42 where any game idea can be explored. We sit down with Bidds at #PAXAus to chat about this gorgeous upcoming game.
