Before I left the other day, the twins came out of the Oak and danced a bit.


I pelted Perplex and he turned into Quamar.


Then I went to the playground to try some close-ups.










This guy was fun to goof around with.

Non re-sized .pngs look out!

Pre-party:



Then!

Here are some files to disable that will slightly improve frame rate for the Abiogenesis but are in low risk of killing the abio effects:

Disable the file
C:\program files\tale of tales\the endless forest 3\data\effects\Dust.cgr
This is the dust that gets kicked up when deer run. Especially useful when there are a lot of deer, or if your computer hates particles.

C:\program files\tale of tales\the endless forest 3\data\effects\TreeCollisionEffect.cgr
If the collision effect from the trees (blue smoke) kills your framerate

And some effects that I'd be cautious about disabling for Abio:

C:\program files\tale of tales\the endless forest 3\data\effects\FloatingParticles.cgr
When you have TEF on the highest nature detail, this is the pollen that floats around randomly.

C:\program files\tale of tales\the endless forest 3\data\effects\DevoutGlow.cgr
This is the blue glow that hovers over your head when you've been hit with the devout spell or are trying to devout. More particles for slower computers to choke on.

To disable a file: Either drag it to the desktop or rename it, preferably rename it so that you can still recognize it and rename it to its proper name when you want to turn it back on.

Hope I didn't break anyone's computer D: Now to run to the forest before I'm late.

My first year in the forest.

I joined just before my first abiogenesis, around May, when I took my first screen shot I kept:

Check out those terrible graphics. I was running TEF on a computer under the system requirements.

Some more of that Abio:










Left for a while for IRL stuff. Came back, went through deer puberty.

Found a warm place

I said before I couldn't get the rain or some other graphical effects to work, but I figured it out. I have an ancient ritual where I close all non-essential processes before starting up a video game to free up some power, and that was closing some task that allowed me to play the game properly. I realised that with my new computer I don't need to do that anymore, haha, old habits die hard.

Anyway, some rain pictures:





I liked seeing candle antlers in the rain. You can see the flames so well. It's like they're trying to keep themselves warm.

And today I met this fawn:


He really liked fighting so I gave him some antlers.

A Day of the Dead mask??



With the current version?

Heard it was raining, but the weather looks normal for me, aaw.

This fawn was awesome:

He played leapfrog with me. Normally people don't get it when I'm jumping over them like a weirdo.

Seems I helped this deer get his set:

I don't know anyone's names, haha.

Mass confusion hits Twin Gods Hill:


A lineup:


From the back:

Enkouwolf, Quad, Perplex, Ephra, Manta, awesomefawn, and apparently, that other fawn is named Allys. That's all I recognize.

There was this deer on the hill I couldn't see, too. I saw people interacting with it, and I could see the glow from where a spell hit it, but it was invisible to me.

I can't keep the same pelt for more than one photo, haha

The other day, I was a stage:


Today, I was a twin:


I think the Realdeer mask is allergic to me. It took so long to get XD.

Then I tried observing others while resting:









0 x 0 is in the Ruins -by the pit with the stairs leading into it-. I don't know why, but that's always made me curious.

I've been reading bios lately, so I thought I'd make one myself. My deer isn't really a character with a seperate personality, but I thought it would be fun.

Name:
Psychedelic Wow, Psychedelic, Psy
Gender:
Male by default

Not interested
D.O.B.:

How to Remember it:
Looks like ... a scorpion maybe?



Set(s): The last thing that was cast on me. I don't sneeze anything off.
I do have one set of saved spelldata from when someone playing version 3.15 cast on me unexpectedly:

Might save it for dark days or Halloween.

• Friendly, hard to bother. If I want to be alone in the forest, I just disconnect, so don't worry about "bothering" me by following me or sticking around for a while.
  
  
• Loves magic and doesn't keep a set. Feel free to spellspam me any time you want, I don't mind. Even if I'm asleep. I'm more than happy to return the favor. If you don't like being cast on, just shake your head no if one of my spells hits you, and I'll try to remember.
  

Leapfrog, spell casting, combining movements in an attemt to look silly.

Say, "Fuzzy pickles!"
