Shepherd's Dog is a game I've wanted to create for a long time

Not sure if you're aware, but there was a game like that for playstation and GBA, called Sheep! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_(video_game) Here's some gameplay footage (player here didn't chose a dog to play with for some reason): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP058CHQj20 Premise of the game is the same, you run the sheep to the designated area over obstacles.




Ah thanks for this. The game above is lovely and it’s really similar to what I had in mind (I was also thinking of lemmings!). I see in the other comments below that this idea of mine has been created as a game a lot of times already. Seems like I’m not as original as I thought haha

in creative work that's absolutely irrelevant. Don't even think about that. Everything has been done before; It's your take that counts, your vision!
