Abstract

The Unity 3D game engine, which can develop games on most platforms such as IOS, Android, and web browsers, is known for a tool easier to use than other engines. In this paper, we develop a game where a sheep runs away from the threat of a rancher on the basis of the Unity game engine. The game is developed in order that a player feels thrill and tension by manipulating the sheep to pass obstacles, avoid projectiles, and run away from the chasing owner.
