Hello just wanted to say a big great thank you to all who kept me company today and to developers...
I had some previous experience with gaming - one I didn't enjoy much.
Most of my life I was a bookworm, then I've met some friends who were into gaming - and since it was the thing to do if you wanted to have something to talk with them about I've played a bit, more of an chore than a pleasure. Most of my life I was working hard to achieve some goals. For me life itself was a game where I had to go through the motions, get things done, level up and so on, so on. Right now even my everyday job consist of going through motions that are similar to a game - so neither in this now distant past nor recently was I ever able to quite understood what are the kicks in gaming...
I've read about TEF in a book I've came upon by weird accident named "Death by Video Game" (a rather mischievous title since after all the author writes much more about why games are great and not harmful and even helpful in some cases) and I got intrigued after reading about Forest in one of the chapters, I've thought that it could be a game I could enjoy: a great big forest, lot's of creatures, some water, the magic is going on, but there is no goals to achieve, no rivalry, no need to talk - just movements (I was into mime before my spine gave up on me)... I thought I should give it a try.
So after all I've spend half a day today on it and I've really enjoyed even though I still don't get how all the options work and it took me a while to figure out which button does what and when (do not tell I like to discover and I have all month as a fawn to fawn upon it
)... Got some deers rolling on the floor (bless you) as a side effect I suppose...
Still have some troubles with etiquette though: how do you say hi? Smell the air, bow? How do you say goodbye?
