Hello friends! 🐾

We’ve sprinkled a little more love into our demo! Here’s what’s new:

Changelog:

• A brand new summer map has been added to celebrate the season! 🌞
  
• The "Frosty Flockwork" map is back with a fresh level design (but still plenty of fluffy snow piles ❄️)
  
• To make room for these 2, we have removed the maps called "Two Bridges" and "Mountain Rest"
  
• Two new dog breeds are now unlockable 🐶
  
• Two new outfits can be unlocked to boost your style ✨
  
• New music tracks have made their debut 📢
  
• Many new SFX, both in gameplay and menus 🎧
  
• A new barn asset that looks much cozier 🏡 (we know some of you were still concerned about the sheep’s well-being!)
  
• Revamp of the reward screen for better clarity on the reward flow — and a bit more juice! 🎁
  
• General polish and bug fixes across the board 🛠️
  

As before, your progress from the previous demo will be reset to accommodate the new level structure and changes.

Thanks for playing and stay tuned!

Hi everyone!

We’ve just released a new version of the Sheepherds demo with some changes. Notably:

• Online multiplayer is now available! You can create and join lobbies to play remotely with friends.
  
• A new map has been added, featuring a fresh gameplay mechanic we’re excited for you to try
  
• We have removed Frosty Flockwork and Automn Leaves for the moment
  
• We’ve adjusted the overall balancing of the main objectives and the optional challenges for a smoother experience
  
• The flocking algorithm has received some polish. Sheep now have a more consistent behavior and handle collisions better. They should also feel more satisfying to herd, tell us what you think!
  
• Many bug fixes and general polish
  
• As a result of these updates, your progress in the previous demo will be reset to accomodate for the additions and changes to the levels
  

Let us know what you think, and thanks again for being part of this journey!
