Pitch
Sheepfold: Flock & Friends is a co-op game on Nintendo Switch in which the players must lead a sheep flock through the Pyrenees.
Technical Sheet
Team size: 16 people
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Engine: Unity
Duration: 9 months
What I worked on:
-
3C Design, crafting and balancing the asymmetrical co-op between the shepherdess and the dog
-
UI/UX Design, ensuring the players understand the mechanics and stay engaged during the entire experience
-
Level Design for some of the game's "puzzles"
-
Benchmarking & Research on co-op / sheep / wholesome games, sheep herding and the Pyrenees
Problematics solved
-
Keeping both our players stimulated at the same time, by crafting mechanics that require joint cooperation
-
Creating an interesting asymmetry that satisfies both players, by balancing and iterating on the 3C according to playtest results
-
Creating a connection between the players and their sheep, by designing appealing sheep archetypes that react to player actions
