I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

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.

HERDLING spoiler: The Calicorns are not immortal by default!

If you want to change that, you can find a toggle option in the game settings :)

Herdling from @okomotive.ch is a beautiful exploration of human and animal companionship.

Like the team’s past games, the Far series, Herdling has a lot to say without ever actually speaking a word in the entire game.

My review:
Herdling Review - Companion Quest
Okomotive's Journey-like adventure game delivers a strong emotional impact thanks to its memorable furry friends and a unique core concept.
