A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Game Introduction:

"Show the Sheep" is a challenging and adventurous game. Players will take on the role of a shepherd (controlling a drone) and a senior sheepdog named Hades, embarking on a journey filled with strategy and cooperation in an extreme climate.

Game Background:

In this world, daytime is unbearably hot, with the land scorching under the sun. To protect Hades and the flock from the heat, the shepherd decides to herd the sheep at night. In the dark, players need to use a spotlight to guide the sheep and control a drone to provide aerial support.

Gameplay:

  • Cooperative Strategy: Players need to work closely with friends to devise strategies, respond to various emergencies, and ensure the safety of the flock.
  • Level Challenges (Coming Soon): Each level presents different challenges, including weather changes, terrain obstacles, and unexpected events. For example, in rainy levels, the spotlight may fail due to rain, requiring close cooperation with the drone operator.
  • Rich Scenes (Coming Soon): The game features diverse scenes and stories, including beautiful meadows, bustling villages, sudden storms, and wolf attacks.

Main Characters:

  • Sheepdog (Player 1): Once the best sheepdog in the land, Hades' vision and stamina have declined with age. Nonetheless, it remains resilient and faces various challenges with its owner.
  • Drone (Player 2): Uses an anti-gravity traction beam to precisely control the flock in the dark, while providing aerial support and embarking on adventures with Hades.

Game Mechanics:

  • Shepherd and Drone Cooperation: Players control the sheepdog to use the spotlight to guide the flock in the dark, while the drone provides aerial support. The drone can grab and move sheep or wolves to designated locations, which is crucial for handling emergencies.
  • Flock Behavior: The flock moves according to separation, alignment, and cohesion principles and will avoid the sheepdog. Players need to guide the flock into the pen area (on the right side of the map) and ensure they are not caught by wolves.
  • Wolf Threat: Wolves appear during the game, chasing the flock and turning them into starfruits (sheep escape). Players need to use the drone to grab and move wolves promptly to protect the flock.
  • View and Masking: The game features the sheepdog's spotlight view and the drone's aerial view. Players need to guide and protect the flock based on these views.

Game Features:

  • Strategic and cooperative gameplay
  • Diverse challenges and rich game scenes (Coming Soon)
