Thanks!
It’s true that seeing all those sheep blindly follow that little star is satisfying. That was the first thing we coded, and it immediately confirmed that we were heading in the right direction!
Initially, we came up with the countdown idea around managing the sheep resource, and the other countdowns survival time and sacrifice gates came later. That really reassured us that we were on the right track with the theme.
We really racked our brains to come up with a game concept that would fit the theme well.
