Making SMARTER sheep for my indie game! | Devlog

Wishlist Farewell North on Steam 👉 https://farewell-north.com/steam Join the Discord 👉 https://farewell-north.com/discord Did you know sheep herding is a really important part of Farewell North? You'd be forgiven for not knowing... I don't talk about it very often because the sheep had been pretty daft until now. In this devlog I'll show you how I made them smarter with the Boids algorithm, improved the humans shepherding commands to make them much clearer, and show how I implemented a Route Mesh system in Unity to improve the directions she gives you as you play in more complex environments. Credits 👉 Edited by @TheShelfman 👉 Farewell North Original Score by John Konsolakis: www.johnkonsolakis.eu Game Overview: Restore color to the desolate islands of Farewell North, an open world journey where you play as a collie traveling with his owner. Explore land and sea, uncover hidden paths, evade monsters, and free wildlife to bring color back to the world while revealing an emotional story about saying farewell.
