Welcome to Dream Shepherd! A fun and relaxing 2D Platformer where you play as the Shepherd of Dreams, having lost the pages of your Dream Journal you must now explore previous dreams. Collecting both your lost Sheep and the pages of the Dream Journal, exploring the ever-expanding world of the Dreamscape.

HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL ECLIPSE! Thank you for checking out my game! Dream Shepherd is my project/submission for my Publishing Class at NAIT. Having the idea originally be a simple platformer where you would use sheep as Blocks/Tools to platform your way throughout the levels.  Then I continued adding more to it..then more...and more. Several features later you now have what I call my Sheepum Opus!

Bonus Q/A!

Q: Why a Platformer?

A: If you know me, then you know there was no other choice for what type of game I was going to choose.

Q: Why Sheep?

A: Because I wanted a fun feature for my Platformer and while this is technically basic platforming using Sheep, I think it adds a great level of Charm to the Game (Besides I haven't event implemented the Crazy Sheep Yet!)

Q: Why the Theme about Sleep & Dreams?

A: Well the logical answer would be to say that I originally thought that because you normally count Sheep to fall asleep then it would make sense to have this game be about exploring dreams using Sleep. The real answer is Sheep and Sleep are so closely sounding alike the though process went as such (Sheep & Sleep? Sleep & Sheep? SHEEP IS SLEEP AND SLEEP IS SHEEP!)
