How does your game fit the theme?
Stormy Herd embodies the theme 'Calm before the Storm' by placing players in a peaceful environment where they must manage and protect animals. As each storm approaches, the calm atmosphere turns tense, and players must act quickly to save their herd before disaster strikes. The contrast between calm preparation and the frantic rush to safety perfectly captures the theme.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all of the code was written from scratch. Some assets, like sound effects and textures, were sourced from free libraries, while other assets, such as the animal models and storm effects, were custom-made for the game.

Overall, the game is fun, and the visuals are stunning. The randomly generated islands are awesome, although the controls are a bit difficult, and the 'How to Play' instructions were confusing at first.
Thanks for your kindness and support on my first game—I really appreciate it!
Kind of confusing and I had to check the how to play an even after I checked it I don't know if it's too clear what's going on, but once I got more of the hang of it the game was pretty fun, nice job on this!
thank you for your feedback its my first game so sorry for the bad experience.
Wow it's the first one, this is really good considering that - nice job on this!
thanks :)
Absolutely stunning! The level of creativity and innovation in this game is off the charts. Every part of it feels fresh and exciting. ;D
Cute visuals and music and sounds tho the music got a bit repetitive after a while xD.
I didn't see the function with the select all cause Idk if it worked correctly for me the only thing I could do is move them around in there plot. Besides that a tutorial would have been nice instead of the "How to play" or atleast something visual to look at.
Overall it's a fun small game that could have lot of potential.
Apologies for the lengthy text in the 'How to Play' section. I was working right up to the deadline and was trying to add visuals for the tutorial, but I got frustrated while trying to capture better screenshots. As this is my first game and I'm still new to game development, I'm learning as I go.
ooh really your first?? Than you did an amazing job on making a game!!
Yep, this is my first game! Before this, I was just learning game development through YouTube tutorials. I'm still learning, but I was feeling a bit bored, so I decided to participate in a game jam—and it's been such a fun experience! At first, I was worried I'd mess up because I didn't feel good enough, but after watching one of Brackeys' videos, he mentioned that it doesn't matter if you're good or bad—you can still join. Now, I plan to participate in every jam I can find!
That's amazing really ! My first games where not good as now either so really you will imprive!
If you ever need help or some playtester you can always reach out to me for sure! I like fun, cute and quirky games!
Thanks! But how can I reach you if I need to? Do you have a Discord account?
yea my discord is bramve_02
i didn't find your server give me link.
it's my username not a server
You can select multiple animals, similar to how it works in RTS games. Just click and drag the mouse on the screen to create a selection box, and any animals within that box will be selected. You can then command them to move wherever you'd like. All the functionality is explained in detail in the 'How to Play' section, so feel free to check it out if you have time! :)
I like the visuals and subtle animations
thanks for playing my first game i appreciate your kind words
I like the visuals and subtle animations
This is a fun game! I liked desperately trying to save the animals as they flew around in circles haha. Great job on your first game!
Nice game! Music, artstyle og graphics are all excellent
The biggest issue is controls communication. Like i have no idea how to move the animals around and have get them to safety. The description tells the player some but not all they need to play the game.
it has "how to play" menu in game main menu you will find all info on that, Thanks for playing my first game i really appreciate you kind words :)
Super cute farm animals and definitely fit the theme, really enjoyed it especially moving the farm animals around xD
thanks its my first game and thankyou for your follow :)
This is a really cool and unique idea. The controls were a bit hard to get used to but the game is fun at the end. The animals are super cute and the whole style is really cute! Its a fun little game with lots of replaying potential! Good job!
Good Game

Thanks for playing my first game let me rate yours
really cool.
Fun and visually appealing game with a cohesive art style. A bit more challenge and variety, along with better control explanations, could improve the experience. Impressive work for a first game jam!
I really like the look of this game. I had fun rescuing all the barnyard animals!
Fun game with potential! The art feels nice and cohesive and it's really easy to understand what's going on at any one time. It feels like a little more moment-to-moment challenge could really help take it up a notch if you were to make a v2/update it after the jam
very interesting! I really liked it!
Thanks for your kind worlds for my first game, let me check you game.
Thank you!
i like this! but damn... itt really needs 1 different soundtrack, it's not bad as a ttitle screen but hearing thhe loop over annd over again kills me ahah

Nice concept ! I was really bad at saving my herd but the tornadoes look amazing ! Good job, even more impressive for your first jam !
