Last week I finally was able to reveal my game, The Free Shepherd, at the Game Awards. It&#39;s been a labor of love for almost 5 years with a few more to go. I hope to talk more tech and dev stuff over here where all the best devs are hiding. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wty2OTvudWc

@benthroop@mastodon.gamedev.place the group call i was in went bananas seeing the trailer for your game (and one expressed a desire for the option to play as a old english sheepdog), you really caught people's attention!

@benthroop@mastodon.gamedev.place Not sure it's a game for me, but at that price I can try 😊

@benthroop@mastodon.gamedev.place I love it when someone comes out with a game similar to a game idea you've had banging around in your head for a bit. I'm looking forward to playing it!

@benthroop@mastodon.gamedev.place can’t wait! Looks so cool. Wishlisted. What engine are you using? I’m working on a mountain bike game and want trail dogs in there. Might have to pick your brain in dog physics at some point 😄
