Have you Herd?
I’m excited to share Orbiting Disco’s next game with you: Everybody Herds! Equipped with your dog and a 4x4, round up your herd across a variety of countryside locations and improbable situations. Save the day with giant balls of wool, avoid wolves and UFOs and get your sheep home safe!
Not only that, but I’m delighted to once again be teaming up with publisher indie.io. After working with them on Dust Fleet, I knew I’d want to publish my next game with them too.
About the Game
As a native of Northern Ireland, I’m no stranger to being jumpscared by alarming numbers of sheep at short notice. And on my last trip there, I began to realise that, despite being pretty hard work to manage in real life, this could make for a fun game. I could see all these sheep moving together through fields and tiny roads, spilling through gates and flowing round trees. And I began to think of all the other things farmers have to manage with their sheep: herding them, rescuing them from water, shearing them to create giant balls of wool, using trampolines to bounce them over obstacles, protecting them from UFOs. All the usual farming stuff. So I decided to put all that in a game!
About Game Publishers
For those of you who may not know, working with a game publishing platform like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, indie.io helps in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with alone.
I’m really excited to have their help with Everybody Herds.
You can also check out their publisher page here on Steam for many other great games.
