The squirrel is released for the first time in the trailer Squirrel with a GUN. A squirrel that robes a gun from a human, flies in the air with recoil

On August 15, the first trailer of the sandbox game Squirrel with a Gun was released on August 15. In this work, which is being developed at Unreal Engine 5, a video of real squirrels with guns has become a hot topic earlier this year. The trailer this time can be seen that the development is progressing considerably since then.

Squirrel with a Gun seems to be a sandbox game with a small squirrel as the main character. It is said that it is a work where you can enjoy searching and shooting action in a lush and peaceful residential area. Mofumofu's cute squirrels seem to be chased by agents in a black suit for some reason. They have to go well because they attack with the lower kick. And when you dodge at the right time, the agent drops the gun.

Squirrels can take pistols and submachine guns dropped by the agent. The gun is larger than the squirrel's height, holding the grip part. And you can attack the agent with a gun. However, it is difficult to control the recoil with the small body of the squirrel, and it looks like a gun swayed.

The gun recoil seems to be useful for traveling. In the trailer, there is a scene where you cross the scaffold in a room where lava has accumulated on the floor. Just jumping normally does not reach the previous scaffold, but he shoots a gun in the air, and jumps over the lava by jumping in the air due to the reaction. In addition, if the submachine gun is fired toward the ground, it will rise more and more in recoil. It may be a useful technique for searching in the city.

It is said that there are not only agents but also residents in the city, and there are elements where you can get items to help. You can also take items from residents. In the trailer, there is a scene in which a gun is set up, the residents threaten, and the dropped smartphone is taken away. In addition, there seems to be an area that handles puzzle elements to obtain acorn items.

Dan Dan Deentremont is a VFX artist who belongs to Muse VFX, which works on TV programs and visual effects of movies. From around February this year, he began posting a test video of a gun holding a gun on Twitter, produced using Unreal Engine 4 and Blender. Later, the development environment was shifted to UNREAL ENGINE 5, and the more expressed images were gained a lot of attention (related articles).

At that time, it was not clear what kind of game it would be, but the store page was released on Steam, and some specific content was shown in the trailer this time. Since the distribution time is not shown, the development will be further developed in the future.

Squirrel with a Gun is being developed for PC (Steam). The delivery time is undecided.
