When I first started playing I was somewhat timid and nervous around other deer.
I have developed this anxiety when playing many MMOS games.
In the first 10 minutes I was trying to avoid adult deer and running off into areas where no one
was because I thought since I'm a noob no one would want me around and whatnot.
Thinking "AHHH, I'm a new they are obviously veterans I better run and hide!"
This is a way of thinking and responding when starting a new online multiplayer game
because the abundance of bullies in online mass multiplayer games.

But it wasn't long when I began to learn the unique language and interaction in this game.
Other fawn and Older deer began to approach me. Inviting me to dance to run and bond through
the forest. I felt so care free so accepted and so relaxed. I have never been so immersed in any
online game except for maybe Guild Wars 2 and Shelter 2.

I am autistic and there aren't that many games out there that for relaxation and therapy.
I feel like I've finally found a game that can completely be therapeutic and give me happiness.
I say happiness because I truly felt joy while playing. I don't need goals, objectives or dangers
to keep me engaged in the game.
I just slip away into a Forest and become magical deer and I enjoy myself for just existing.

Thank you Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn for making this special and amazing piece of art.
There's nothing else like it out there and I hope it's here to stay for years to come.

So instructions say in-game to press "P" to take screenshots. Well I pressed P while playing
with other deer thinking I'm capturing hilarious and fun moments. But when I went to the game folder
and opened the screenshot folder it was completely empty.

Was I not doing it right? Or is there another way to capture screenshots?

At one point I could feel nothing, I felt warmth and the faint thump of a heartbeat. It was all soothing... and than one day I felt a cold feeling, something I never felt before and slight discomfort was intense pain to me as I felt as if I was dropping off a cliff. I hit something... my muscles quivered as cold wind snapped at me and gripped my body... it felt like cold fingers dragged across my pelt. Than my eyes opened, and silence fell upon the area. It was already quiet in the beginning, but now it was a different kind. I could hear the floor crunch as my crimson eyes blinked as I tried to understand what was happening. You can't expect so much from me though, as I just came to the world. Cold puffs of smoky air erupted from my nostrils as exhaustion gently closed my eyes. When I awoke I was in the same spot as before, but there was a bustle of sounds. My coat was rock hard as it seems my mother hadn't even touched me... My limbs felt weak as my head still rested on the ground and I slowly stretched a limb. The sound died "I think it's awaking, I would have thought it would be dead by now.. it needs to die... shhhh" my red eyes blinked as I found the sliver of strength I could gather up and arose on trembling legs. My nostrils flared as I identified the milky warm scent of my mother.

Ears twitched as I took my fist few steps on unstable legs. I could see my mothers bold hazel eyes in the crowd as her ears twitched and she watched with a blank look. I managed to take a few more steps as the crowd of deer moved aside as I stumbled towards her. I did something... I must have but when I went to rest my head against her chest she backed away and I went head over heels and fell on the floor. I spat out the dirt and looked up at her, she looked disgusted and simply moved away a few steps. I arose, body trembling as the pain almost made me want to weep. I moved closer and she just moved farther.

Hey =) I'm trying to reply a comment but it appears that sentence, I didn't get it what it means :\\
So... do you know?

Thx =)

I bet that I am just blind or whatever X3 Whenever I try to make a reply to a post it says you must specify a valid author. I have no idea what it means by this, so can any of you lend a hand please X3?

Personally, I like the idea of being a bit more realistic. I think by not having a chat it solves a lot of problems. Problems such as drama, inappropriate roleplaying, and bullying. I am sure there are good things about having a chat such as getting to know each other, but I think it's better the way it is now. I do find that members usually just sleep around the forest, don't do much, and when someone wants to play or just have fun... it seems the whole forest is in a deep slumber that won't be awoken by some deer. I do recommend fixing that problem, but I also recommend going on in the mornings as it seems the deer are more active.

I also kind of find it sad, but I understand the authors are busy... that 'playing god' as churned out to be a feature in the game that has become quiet dusty and neglected. By neglected I mean they don't use it much. Night never comes, there are never really any fun weather to spark some fun. Due to lack of excitement the forest seems to become dull and the game becomes kind of lonely and boring. I still find it fun, and enjoy sometimes just resting... but I would like some fun activity going on.

I also feel that there should be some more events the members can participate in, because I think a big reason why most fawns kind of stray from the game and may even leave is because everything is so inactive. If we are looking to get more members, I suggest creating fun things they can do so they don't see it as just some dull community lounging around the forest. I love this game, and I enjoy that it is relaxing as well.. but wouldn't it be nice to just really REALLY have fun? Meet new friends, and play? :3 Hope this helped.

This might be something, one day. Who knows.

Come on guys, I see that you like a great sleep, but let's change this, why do you like this game? There are two options: you like animals or you don't know what you are doing on the internet... If you like animals, depending on which level you like, you probably want to live as one, so no more talk, just BE A DEER, I love this game and I love animals so PERFECT MATCH, let's make this game more interesting! Lets make other people want to play it!
Don't sleep. I know that without chat is hardest to understand what's going on, but there is all these chat places we can build on the internet, making a blog with password only members of here could access and then put a chat on it! And while playing the game we could talk!
*And there is already chats of TEF!!*

Well, I'm trying =) Why don't you try too?
