A downloadable game

Hi there!

This is my first Solo Dev "game" (more like a prototype).

There's so much more I wanted to do with it before the Big Mode Game Jam ended, like get it to work on the browser. 

I really enjoyed making it, and would want to finish if people wanted to play it/something like it. Please give me any feedback you may have if you have the time.

It's supposed to be a cozy game with arcade elements but I wasn't able to finish any of the random encounters (like a wolf randomly some nights comes out to pick up and run off with one of your sheep) so it's mostly a simulation/sandbox game right now.

This is my discord to follow along with my ongoing progress:

Controls:

WASD - movement

SPACE - shepard = attract sheep, dog = nothing

SHIFT - switch mode

E - Pick Up/Interact

R - Drop item

Esc - unselect sheep /pause menu (buttons don't work)

You can also click on sheep to select them as well as from the "Sheep Book"





You can:

  • Feed/Pet sheep
    • Sheep have a random timer as well as a random number of days (between 1 & 3) until they become starving, feeding them daily will increment the days of the timer by 1 day each day 
    • Petting sheep just emotes a heart for now, but is intended to be a daily bonus to obedience, which is tied to the diameter of the area of awareness of the individual sheep, so that they will react faster to you if you have bonded with them
  • Pick up baby sheep from parachute and name them 
    • You have 144 seconds (4 game hours) from when they land to name them before they get up themselves and keep their random name and they are sad (- to obedience)
  • Shepard can pick up some items and open doors/gates (although I forgot to spawn all of them before turning this in so all you can pick up is hay from the haypile for now, even though I had the hair growth (-movement speed)/shears interactions working)
  • Shepard can fill the hay feeder, Dog can push the hay feeder, but sheep still can't eat from it

Missing:

  • Random encounters to save the sheep from (wolves, aliens, rivers, holes, pied pipper, rainbow bridges to heaven)
  • Cute sheep outfits made from wool after shearing
  • Sheep Sanbox elements
    • Milking Adult sheep to fill Baby Bottle to feed baby sheep
    • Pooping/ broom clean up
  • Starting random traits for the sheep such as +/- move speed or faster/slower hair growth, or better/worse immune system
    • Can level up negative traits to be postive traits when sheep gain an obedience level
  • Day end consequences for not keep sheep happy
  • Custom Cozy Music
  • More Polish/ Animations/ Decorations
