Defend your flock of sheep and goats as your traverse colorful procedural alpine meadows in the sky.

## About This Game

Herder could be classified as a third-person action-tower-defense-herding-sim.
Defend your flock of sheep and goats from wild animals using a variety of
items and weapons. Migrate through beautiful procedurally generated pastures,
selling livestock, milk, and wool to passing trade caravans. Keep your flock
happy and healthy to continue breeding, milking, and shearing. Cash out at any
time and take home your earnings, or continue the nomadic lifestyle until
you’re so far into the wild that your flock succumbs to predators, starvation,
or disease.

Keep in mind this is a simple game by a tiny studio. You can expect a fun
engaging experience that you can play for a couple of hours each session, or
simply pick up and play casually.

## This game offers:
* Beautiful procedural alpine landscapes, the sounds of sheep on pasture, and wind in the meadows.
* Action packed gameplay, or the alternative relaxing casual mode.
* A unique mix of resource management strategy and third-person action-tower-defense.
* A friendly herding dog companion.

## Starting out:
You begin the game with enough cash to start a small flock. Your sheep and
goats will happily graze on grass and wildflowers until they’ve eaten
everything in the area, at which point you’ll need to move to the next
pasture. At the start of each new pasture, you’ll have time to set up your map
with defensive items before you open the gate and let your livestock out. Each
successive pasture moves further into the wild, increasing your encounters
with wild animals, and decreasing the frequency at which trade caravans
arrive. Caravans are your place to sell the wool, milk, or livestock you’ve
grown over the seasons, as well as buy new items or animals to continue your
herding adventure. You’ll see your flock grow as the seasons change, watching
for bears in the autumn, taking care to feed your flock hay in the winter, and
birthing new lambs in the springtime. When you sell off your whole flock, or
if your flock is wiped out by wild animals or disease, your final cash is
saved as your high score. At this point you can start again in a fresh new
meadow with a new flock and a new strategy.

Alternatively, play the relaxing casual mode where your flock can graze
peacefully, and you can sit back and just enjoy the serenity of taking your
sheep out to pasture.
