Sheep Quest - Released!

cat · Thu 12/04/2012 17:52:10

After several years of production I proudly present

Molly the lamb has run away! Can you help shepherd Angus to find her?

Meet quirky villagers, collect items kleptomanically and enjoy colorful graphics during your quest. This game features a simple left/right click interface and a fluffy white sheep GUI.

Oh no, where is Molly?

Can she help you with your mission?

This game has been released! Visit the official thread

Update 07/10/2012
The last animation is done, I just need to fix some issues found by my testers.
The game will be released on October 14th!

Update 23/09/2012
It's been a while since the last update, but we have been very busy in the meantime!
HandsFree, who is doing the music for this game, has made some amazing tunes and the soundtrack is completed now. I'm still working on animations and the last scripting issues.

~~Beta testing will start soon, so if you are interested in testing, please PM me.~~ Testers found!

Update 06/05/2012
The game is playable from start to end now! Of course it is still missing tons of sprites, animations, interactions, dialogs and the minigame (yes there will be one!)
But - I'm making good progress and thus dare to announce a release by the end of this year!

Musician needed
I need 3-4 MIDI tunes with one of them being in the style of traditional Irish music. PM me if you are interested!
Musician found!

This looks wonderfully wonderful. The simplistic (not negatively simplistic) graphic style, gives this a cute edge. I would suggest decreasing the lightness of the outline color of the font though. To give it more contrast. Apart from that, all I have to say is "finally!".

Keep us posted.

That sounds like it'll be made especially for me

I already like it!

Good luck for this one!

Looking good

CaptainD · Thu 12/04/2012 22:13:54

Love the graphic style, and agree that the font needs to be darker. All the best with development!!

More farm-related games by Cat! :3
This makes me happy.

ZapZap · Fri 13/04/2012 18:18:48

I remember you showing this at the last AGS...I forgot the the name that fast so I'm just gonna call it AGS E3.

Thank you so much for your nice comments! This is really motivating for me.

You are right about the font color, I'll take that to Critics' Lounge.

These are a lot of really good news!

... also another very nice screeny! Can you recommend ordering the stew?
I like the way it goes and I wanna play this for sure

No, because Irish stew is made from lamb

Poor Molly is certainly not going to end in the saucepan!

AnalogGuy · Sun 06/05/2012 16:01:28

I would be interested of composing this game.... althought I really would need to study more about traditional irish instruments and music.

Oh, and yes, I do not make midis... but full audio of real sounds.

Love the sheep-on-a-stick in the 1st screen.
And hey, a green cup... your own environmentally-friendlygame-engine?

m0ds · Tue 08/05/2012 12:13:06

Haha sheep on a stick. Yep best of luck finishing this cat!

cat · Tue 08/05/2012 12:34:09

Hahaha, don't they say in "There's Something About Mary" that there should be more meats on a stick?

LTGiants2000 · Thu 10/05/2012 20:43:52
