since my first post was a failure

I wouldn't say it was a failure at all, don't get too down on yourself! Just because another person may not agree with an idea doesn't make it any less of an idea. It's all good, you should always feel free to share your ideas!

Personally for me, I'm just excited and hoping for new sets to be introduced to the game eventually c:

If I let my imagination go wild I like to think of new actions, like grazing, and a much bigger world with more magic. I also imagine the deer interacting more smoothly, subtly, more like a dream where they do more things/animations without being moved by the player. But that's just in my imagination, the remake seems to be more true to the original!

yeah if you look on the thing for the fundraiser it tells you what they might add and um im still wondering about the antler thing I know this is a friendly game and all but if they add the velvet thing for the deer they can do animation where the velvet falls off and then your deer eats it.
also how long does it take for a real deer to grow its antlers you know days, months , year things like that?

well I ment once your deer has the default antlers( not the spell ones) like the guest deer has when you are not registered in the game that's what I mean ( and uh question for deers in real life why do the baby fawns have little white spots on them when there born?) also toss I like your avatar picture its kinda cute with its baby antlers( are they small or is that there actual size?)

Deer antlers are made of bone, and it's very expensive for the deer to produce and carry around the antlers, meaning that it uses a lot of energy that they could otherwise use to survive.
Since their antlers are only used when trying to breed (marking territory by rubbing trees, fighting other stags away from the does), the antlers are shed/fall off when the breeding season is over. Because the bucks with the biggest antlers are usually the most successful during the breeding season, evolution has to find a balance between big enough to win and too big to even carry. Bone is heavy.
After they shed their antlers, they go bare for a time, then it's time to breed again, so the antlers must grow back. Since bones are complicated living tissues, antlers only grow with skin over top to feed it a blood supply. The 'velvet' you see on the antlers is the skin and blood vessels that fed the bones.
A cool thing to do if you ever see a roadkill buck that's decomposed a bit is to squeeze the antlers if they have velvet on them. They'll be squishy like flesh instead of hard like bone.
Check out this video for a visualization:


And Tossercook is correct, the white spots on many species of fawn is to help break up their outline among the brush and grass. The spots are kind of like tiger stripes. Lots of deer also have a light coloured belly and a darker coloured back in a type of camouflage called 'counter-shading'. It helps them to blend in better, as the sun will make their back look brighter and the shadows will make their belly look darker.

I would absolutely love to have an option where we could customize our own deer, but that'll probably never happen. Tbh, I was kinda disappointed when I first started playing and found out that we need others to help us with the sets. I imagined it being like Wolf Quest or Feral Heart where you get to create your own character. I am a big sucker for game visuals and I feel like we are limited with the current designs and sets. I just wish we had the ability to create real versions of our characters in-game. Other than that, I could honestly live with what the game currently has to offer, even with the weird glitches and other stuff. xD

Mmm, I agree that in some cases it would be fun to actually recreate our community site characters in the realm of the game a la Feral Heart, but let's just get it out of the way, Feral Heart is undeniably gaudy and sometimes an eyesore in regards to player creations. M&A made this game as an art project and have an aesthetic they stick to so it all works out visually.
If we can raise enough money in the fundraiser, we can add all sorts of cool new stuff to the game, like The Tortoises, The Sadawaar, a valley, VR capability, grazing animations, etc listed on the fundraising page.

I would personally like to see if the deer could affect the environment somehow. Such as, if they graze, the flowers upon which they grazed were gone for a few minutes before 'growing back'. A single player could only graze x amount of times before their deer 'became full' and couldn't graze anymore.

I totally love the idea of different hoof sound effects from your previous post!

Like, if there were splats when a deer walks in the pond or Drinkplaats, rattle on the ruins, etc. That would be realy cool! Also, there could be puddles on low grounds when it's raining, and deer could walk there with a squishing sound)

you should show these to the creators of the game so they can see it and I love everyones ideas but I have a better idea make a youtube video about the game and whats going on( tell the viewers there remaking the game) and tell them what you do in the game(show the gameplay in the video because if they like it then everyone will like the game a lot and a lot of new players too) you know if you have a youtube channel that is.to but someone here might have one oh and they should do like a gameplay channel to the endless forest) but just show the game ok?

I'd love separate IC and OOC servers. I know the game does have at least one separate server. They used to use it for private abios.

However it was only M and A that could invite you there somehow. Though they could set up a system/menu/etc that allows you to pick and choose what server to play on.

well um I also made a blog about having a youtube channel for the game that isn't going well but check it out if you have time( its called youtube channel for the endless forest

Deer will eat a lot of things if they're hungry enough, like tree bark and other animals. I'm sure it doesn't hurt them if they nibbled on some antler velvet.
