[ Winter Games 2025] Sheep!

[Thirsty Panther]

This will be my entry into the The Winter Games Tournament. 

My game is called Sheep!.

The idea is the player plays the part of a farmer who is trying to get his sheep into a pen.

I've stated creating my assets for the game.

Using Blender I've created some fences , gates and Sheep.

Youtube is so helpful in finding how to create these assets.

The fences and gates I learnt from Himel in this video.

 

Grant Abbitt has an introductory video in getting started with Blender. He makes some blocky Minecraft like sheep which I hope will work just fine for my game.

I have some sheep sound effects from Imphenzia.com

I have some music from a Humble Bundle that I purchased recently.

I still have a lot to do.

I need a player character. Not sure if I should make this myself or use a premade asset. Time is the limiting factor.

Code the whole game. I plan to base my game around Josh's pathfinding example, but instead of the enemy  (sheep) running towards the player they will run away.

The player then has to herd the sheep into a pen before a timer runs out.

The AI for the sheep behavior I will use Kinesis. I watched this video which explains it well.

Hopefully I will have time to update this thread as I progress to getting some of those sweet sweet prizes
