(soon to be deer page blog)

Hello to anyone reading this. The title will change later on.
Ignore the mess for now please, and thank you.

Scruffy
The Lazy Wolf.
(in game + Art position text holder)
The big bad wolf he is far from being. fawns could easily run circles around this fluff ball and the most movement they might get out of him would be him slightly turning his head.
When he's not sleeping, he's laying down watching the world around him. If he spots someone who's already asleep he might sniff them and join them in sleep.


Blaze
Brother to Noir.
(in game + Art)
Calm and polite when compared to his brother. He spends most of his time listening to the forest or slowly walking around in it. He loves soaking up the sunlight and enjoys snacking on any fruit or pinecone that falls out of a tree. However he has been known to get carried away at times when he's around his brother. This sometimes either leads into a bit of rough housing, racing around the forest, and someone getting their antler's stuck on a tree branch.

Noir
Brother to Blaze
(in game + Art)
Fun loving and a bit rough at times, other wise he's harmless. He enjoys being loud and running about the forest. Jumping over the little river rather then taking the bridge. When he's not being loud, he actually can be a bit calm. He loves the dark and eating the mushrooms that grow on the trees. If he's around his brother things don't stay calm for very long.

Yume
(in game+ Art)
A shy deer who hides out in the flower patches within the forest. They often cover their antlers in flowers. They love watching the bugs, even more so butterflies and fireflies.

(in game + art)
Something ancient will come to the forest soon.

(in game + art)
Something weird is in the forest now.

having issues connecting (linux)

hi! sorry, i'm new. i'm trying to login, i've registered and all that, but i'm a little lost on the ingame side. i've gone to network and have clicked on connect, but it doesn't do anything for me. i'm running this on linux mint with wine, and i've done all the DLL install and setup stuff as per the faq. is the connect button supposed to open a browser window?

Me and a friend hopped onto the forest today!

Hi! I've had an account since way back when, but hadn't checked in on the game in a long time! I was surprised to see I could still get into my account!

I suggested to a friend of mine that we check this interesting little gem out, and was very pleased to find the vibes in the forest were super cool! There were a bunch of active deer and everybody played with us and showed us cool spells and secrets in the forest! It was a lot of fun and even if we don't make it back sometime soon, I would like to thank everyone for being so welcoming. I hope the people we ran into have a great day!

Uchu's Little Adventures

I've met 3 new people! One even commented on my other post. I've been enjoying the nice and chill vibe of the forest and hope to log in maybe a little earlier in order to meet more people!

P.S. I'm gonna start adding screenshots of the people I met into this blog post Smiling

Hawthorn






- Young Adult Doe, She is somehow young and old / alive and dead at the same time.
- The fawns named her Hawthorn, because of her large thorn like horns.
- Very playful and loving, motherly and protective at times.
- Falls in love easily and often, yet never tied to one single deer.
- Can sometimes trip or fall due to her previous injuries.





- She is a dried up carcass. Very lightweight and mostly skin and bones with some
bits of fir in places, her body has ben bleached by the sun. She remembers being
killed by a car and her body decayed for a very long time by the side of the road.

She does not remember how she got to the endless forest. She just woke up here
one day and somehow everything seemed okay. She is now ageless. Her mostly
decayed body holds no smell and has a subtle iridescent quality in the sunshine.

She is loveable regardless of her level of decomposition.
She is a loyal and trustworthy friend to others.

Thank you for your visit < 3

Fawn Uchu

I was on pretty late at night and accidently ate some mushrooms and was trying to put on a mask but ended up masking other deers. I hope it doesn't mess up anyone's appearance.
P.S. while i was exploring i saw some pretty deers and i hope to look like that soon Smiling
