This captures the character of the bird really well 🦉

Just practicing on a new-ish tablet, haven't really done any digital drawing in a long time. Been discovering I like to do single-layer, low-stress drawings, and just finished Herdling, so...

A giant, bloodied bird lays in the snow on a mountainside with rocks nearby and peaks in the distance. A small boy in a red and teal coat, holding a long branch with leaves in one hand, holds out a peace offering of a blue glowing fruit with the other.

Though much of the tension in Herdling comes from the fear of losing a member of your flock (and the game has its own way of dealing with grief), it is possible to turn off death for these creatures in the accessibility menu.

Herdling screenshot, the player pets a small "calicorn" which is a sort of goat/cow/sheep type creature

the accessibility menu in herdling, the highlighted option is for "calicorn immortality"

Thank you so much 😭💖

Herdling trusts the player to guide an expanding group of fantasy creatures to their mountain home. Along the journey, players will name, pet, feed, play with, and care for each of these individually unique animals.

Herdling is one of the most special games I have played for this account.

Had the chance to review the fantastic Herdling from @okomotive.ch for @games.ch and it was such a blast. A wordless emotional journey inspired by our Swiss traditions. Perfect length, lovely visuals and a truly incredible soundtrack. www.games.ch/herdling/tes... (Link to the video in the next one)

Der Almauf- und der -abtrieb sind bei uns in der Schweiz landesweit bekannt. Besonders der Abtrieb wird noch heute an vielen Orten gefeiert. Das Vieh wird mit festlichen Dekorationen geschmückt..
