@RevdKathy, I'm sorry, but there are so many thing to do that I don't really find the time to worry. Sheep need love, no matter what.
Although my other projects also do, so I will put the sheep to sleep for a week now.

That is so, so wise. The sheep still need taking out to pasture, grazing and careing for regardless of what else happens. Thank you.

As you can see, the whistling can be laggy and not perfect, but it works.
I'm trying to reproduce the errors you are writing about but, unluckily, the game is quite stable for me. Will keep trying and fixing

I really need to borrow N93 for making those videos. This one is from N97, it gives you impression how shty camera is there.

Sadly I couldn't watch the video... my dog seriously hated the whistling! I shall have complaints from the neighbours about the barking!

I shall have a go myself. Maybe when he's not around.

The video helped me loads, I like the touch, makes the game harder.

I'll look after the sheep on my phone while you are away :-)

I would vote for MeeSheep. Where can I subscribe?

Hello Everyone,

after some solid winter sleep, sheep are waking up

I have an important question to ask: how do guys see the future development of sheep? Should we:

a) keep implementing new options (fix whistling a bit, add controls with camera, multiplayer etc.), not necessarily polishing everything (skipping 'boring' parts like nice menu, stability etc.) or

b) should we focus on polishing on what we have and add only small changes

This is a choice between playground (testground) and aiming into real application. Simply speaking, I don't have enough time capacity to take care of both (if there is anyone interested in helping with the actual code, don't be shy to shout

)

Nobody? Sheep got forgotten?

Good question. My instinct is to say Go for Both, but obviously I have no skills to offer in doing that.

What do others think?

I would say go for the polish and release a good game onto extras.

If time permits, new options and changes can be added in the future to make the game even better.

I would say for now is just focus on polishing the code and game.. because although it's fun to play it's kind of slow.. etc. So polishing it up making it look nice too would make this game even better!

But again, this is my 0.02 cents!

Good job anyways on the game and keep up the great work hopbeat!
