A flat fenced pasture. The starter.
Home Field is the first biome you meet in Sheep Dog Sim. Flat ground, single perimeter fence, one wide gate. There's no scoring pressure, no terrain to wrestle with, nothing hiding behind a hill. Just you, your dog, and a flock.
That's the point. Before you herd 5,000 sheep across an island in Solo Chaos, or race three friends through a multiplayer round-up on Open Country, you need to learn how the flock actually moves. Home Field is where you do that.
A rectangular pasture, fenced on all four sides, with a single gate on the south edge. A small farmhouse sits at the corner for visual reference. The ground is flat enough that the sheep AI doesn't have to worry about slope- modulated speed, so the flock behaviour reads cleanly. You can see exactly how the sheep respond to the dog's position, which side they break toward, how tight the cluster stays under pressure.
Default mode here is Just Play (30 sheep, no timer, no fail state). When you're ready for a leaderboard, switch to Solo Classic (200 sheep) on the start screen.
WASD or arrow keys to move. Hold Shift to sprint (your dog has a stamina meter). On mobile, the joystick lives in the bottom left and the sprint button in the bottom right. Get behind the flock and steer them toward the gate. The sheep don't always cooperate.
