The Plucky Squire has received an update boasting quality of life improvements, new dialogue portraits for characters, and Streamlined Mode- an alternative for experienced players who'd prefer to adventure with less hand-holding and interruptions.
The update is live on Steam, but will be coming to consoles, including Nintendo Switch, soon.
Here's what developer All Possible Futures had to say in its announcement:
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!
Streamlined mode is intended for more experienced players who want less guidance and more action. For example! A door unlocks - do you really need the game to stop and the camera to pan over and look at it opening? Maybe not! In Streamlined Mode, it doesn't! This is one of the many examples of reduced guidance.
We've cut some fat from the dialogue in Streamlined Mode - a line here, a line there… It's not like we've hacked away entire scenes, just trimmed bits for a more…streamlined…experience.
We've also added speech bubble portraits to keep track of who's speaking while you're speeding through.
Finally, we've included some quality of life improvements and changes. We've increased the number of historical autosaves that are kept and we've added a function to restart the current chapter. If you do get stuck somewhere, both of these should help. Autosaves have been moved to a place in the menu that's easier to find and we've added a way to change the language in-game.
