Sheep Keep by Kevin Barrios
LD46 - KEEP IT ALIVE
Gentle little sheep will follow you around. Try to lead them home while keeping the wolves at bay.
There are hidden lost sheep around the world, try to find all of them. (They're just static, but it's a fun scavenger hunt)
Thanks for playing everyone!
This is our... I think 8th attempt at Ludum Dare. We don't always finish sadly, but we hope you enjoy walking around in the little world we made.

the disadvantages: wolves are a little bit like cats, the character walks quickly, so the herd can't keep up with him, the location is probably even too large and a little unfinished along the edges.
game for a warm winter evening with cocoa and plaid :)
cool game aver all, keep it up
One cool feature would be to somehow indicate when the wolves are hit by the slingshot.
Great job anyways, I really enjoyed it.
But it very much lacks gameplay. You mentioned in the description that the sheep will follow me around and I should lead them home. But apart from the few initial sheep, no sheep I found wanted to follow me. But on the other hand, you also mentioned in the description that sheep are static. So now I am confused and I don't know if it's a bug that they don't follow or intended feature or just following was not properly implemented. I'm guessing the last one :wink:
It is a nice concept and a sheep scavenger hunt would indeed be fun if it was finished. Keep at it!
Thank you all for checking out our little demo! Special thanks to @notan-lemon for the signal boost!
This is our 2nd attempt at making something in 3D and it was definitely a good challenge! Anyone who felt something was unfinished or missing is definitely right on haha. I accidentally placed the sheep static mesh's around the map instead of the pre-fabs that are meant to follow and it was too late to fix it when we submitted. Happy to hear people enjoyed the atmosphere and music though. At some point I just decided since we were lacking gameplay I'd just make the map big enough that it was still interesting to explore. So thanks again for checking it out, glad you got something out of it :)
