Devlog #1


So, 6 days ago, a shower thought came to me, and gave me an idea for a mobile game. Immediately after exiting the bathroom I sat down and scribbled this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/793948801601503302/880942080346718248/Herder.png

The next day, I started working on a prototype...


Current progress

For now, I was mainly focused on coding the sheep's basic behaviour.

So far the sheep:

- Run away from the cursor, speed depending on the distance from the cursor (closer = faster)

- When not running away (idle), they wander around in random directions

- Spawn in from a random point at the top of the screen

- If they're inside a pen, they ignore the cursor, and also stay in the pen

Ah, right, also currently the sheep are just little white squares. I'll make some nice artwork for them later on.

I also started working on pens:

- Pens have a required number of sheep (more on this later, once I implement points and win and lose conditions)

- When a pen has the required number of sheep inside, it closes, and no more sheep can enter it


That's all I have so far! This is what the game currently looks like:

Not much of a game yet, but hopefully that'll change soon!
