Announcing Curse of the Herder
Announcing “Curse of the Herder”, a screensaver experience for the web. It’s about a pissed-off little herder learning how to cuss better.
A Cursed Working Day
Every run is a ‘day’. Your herder starts out ignorant of the world, and of how to express themself. They are frustrated. They have to go collect all 60 of their sheep from the island. As they collect sheep and face frustration, their temper changes. They read books from little free libraries around the island. This is how they learn new cuss words and phrases.
A Living Countryside
Changing weather, seasons, other herders, little villages, small delighters. A fun little island of frustation.
The End of the Day
After the last sheep is herded, the herder may retire to the hall of heroes, where their statistic and best curses are recorded.
