Progress! Flocking!
Well, I was off to a great start, falling asleep just 30 minutes before the theme was announced in my chair! I woke up a few hours later, looked at the theme and moved to a better sleeping location to dream of ideas.
I woke up with nothing.... After brain storming for a few hours I narrowed it down to a few ideas and decided to go with a sheep herding game. You'll play as a good boye / girl herding sheep to wherever the destination may be. I'm not sure where exactly to go with it just yet but I figured I should focus on the MVP before I get too ambitious.
I went with this idea partly because it seemed achievable with my meager skills but also because I really wanted to play with a flocking algorithm, and that's what I've been doing for the past few hours. Below is a gif of the progress so far.

Let me know what you think! I've never attempted flocking before, so any tips will be much appreciated!
I'd forgotten how much fun Ludum Dare is!
