Working with Harmless Lion Studios, Alten8 is bringing Cool Herders, originally on Dreamcast, to the Nintendo DS.

Designed to appeal to a wide variety of players of all ages, and genders, with bright colourful characters, players lead their flock of sheep to safety and protect them from dangers.

Four player WiFi action is one of the new features for the DS. Full details will be released over the coming weeks.

Alten8 has a range of ten DS games in production, set to grow over the coming weeks with other further games in discussion. Some of the games under development will also cover PC and Wii versions as they progress, giving Alten8 various multi-format title releases as it seeks third-party publishers.
