I've been inspire by Sighthoundlady to draw more of my TEF deer, Wren, and other deer designs. They're simply so beautiful. You should check out her artwork, if you haven't already! http://endlessforest.org/community/node/57197

-Wren

There are some rather playful looking emotes I think might be something that could scare or upset other deer in real life settings on the game, so I was wondering if someone might be able to let me know which ones are upsetting, which are playful, etc.? Especially that emote that lets you rear up. That could be seen as a challenge in a real life forest, so I want to ask if that one is suggesting play or a fight???
(Yes, I compare this game a LOT to the way real deer might behave and sometimes that leads me to get confused with the emotes somehow.)

In a quiet world, days are capitalized and punctuated by the sound of birdsong and the constant hushing of trees as they remind you what a quiet world this is. The birds flit by on silent wings, butterflies floating on silent winds, leaves falling without a noise. Maybe, just maybe in this place you will hear the calls of the real inhabitants, the deer.

Today, today seems lucky. Today we come across a fawn in the sun.

Just bumping this for myself for reference reasons.

This is just an experiment for now. If I find I like it I may add it to Gustiro's biography.

I'm wishing that Tale of Tales would start making more like this one. Maybe a more in-depth, detailed animal game where we get to choose our animal and do all the animal behaviors, including hunting if we choose a carnivore. 'Course, they should make it to where carnivores can't eat other players and instead have to hunt NPC prey. I am also in favor of their idea to have a mother deer guide you through your first steps as a fawn. That would be very cute~ I also thought it might be fun if the game introduced humans as well. Hunters who can hunt NPC animals and "Friends" who can befriend PC animals and NPC animals alike. I mean, without humans, I feel like something is amiss when I see things like bridges, graveyards and ruins in the game. It actually makes me stop in my tracks and wonder where the humans are every time. In fact, I sometimes find myself trying to make my way up hills and things past that little bridge just to see if I can't wander into a populated human village atop the mountain somewhere.

Edit: Please try to ignore what I said about predators on here... I didn't know that there was a rule against them since I'm new here. Although doesn't anyone think it seems strange that this is supposed to be a realistic game and yet we're NOT being hunted??? I apologize if I offend anyone at all, but it just seems strange to me with such a realistic game...

Under cut~

Title says it all... You can find me as DeeryDeerth in there... Feel free to add me to your DeviantWatch.

Dunno... Just thought I'd share. xD

Everything was as it should be. Everything was in its place. The bird sighed her relief as her eyes made one last pass over her collection. Shiny metals of different shapes and sizes lined the outer walls of her nesting site, stuffed into the cracks of crumbling stone. It felt like forever since she'd last admired them, struck flightless by Jack and unable to reach her nest. Jack...the thought of the white stag cooled her enthusiasm. Stepping to the edge of the support, she took flight and carried herself higher to perch on the very top of the ruin's arch. A low huff escaped her tiny nostrils as pale eyes glared down at the blood-stained alter. Migisi had never minded Jack's close proximity to her nest before, finding him a mere annoyance more than anything else, but now... Now he was a threat. Now even Bright was a threat. She couldn't stay here...

Ruffling her feathers, she settled back on her legs to peer out into the forest in a more relaxed state of mind. At such a high vantage point she was unseen, yet could see all. Ah, how she missed this. A cool breeze played at her feathers and she stretched her neck and lifted her wings to enjoy the feel. A pair of doves eyed her from where they perched further down the archway. Migisi paused to stare at them, then folded her wings quickly, feeling a bit foolish. She shifted away and gaze herself a shake before lifting her gaze once more, pondering a new nesting site.

[How does the posting order of Migisi, Cypher, then Sanguine sound guys?]
