This is just a little rant of sorts that some of you may relate to..
Most of us know that people come and go here on the community, and it hurts to say goodbye, but there's always hope or reassurance that those friends will be back one day, some day. We always look forward to seeing them around again and it's always a good day when someone comes back, even if it's not for a long time. Just seeing them again is really nice and makes a day so much better than you thought it could be.
But it's a stab to the heart when a normal glance at the map shows you an all too familiar-looking pictogram and in your haste to see if it's really that person you've been missing, you fail to really look at what you saw and you go and get your hopes way up and then it crashes when a different name turns up on the account page. Ouch. The recoil from that sudden spike of happiness is pretty painful. Especially when you have no way of otherwise finding or contacting this person.
Just...ouch. It hurts.

it is a musical instrument I had to design for college
it is the first time that I'm proud of one of my college projects, they're usually too weird therefore unviable and unpredictable so they just stay as great ideas with no sustenance; but this time I think I succeded in turning it into something great and outside of my head

what do you think?

*musicalnuzzles*

Opinions, should I made a tumblr page for Radish? If I did, would you follow? o.o

hello everyone, I'm blindfoot and would really like it if you could tell me how to miniaturize myself.
My deer is very small and i wanted to stay small as an adult without playing as a fawn (all the time, even though i have no problem with it ^^).
I know it's going to take some time before I'm grown but i would really like to have this stuff abit early (since I'm playing right now and don't want to wait a whole month)
I might not be on it right now but that's because I'm posting my deer's bio ^^ (so if I'm walking around, standing still, or getting lost when following you then yeeeaaahh you'll know why X3) and i don't have a colored picture of her yet- but I'm working on that too ^^ soon as I'm done with her bio


But thank you anyhow (just for reading) *nuzzles any and ever reader*

"This is the record of my study on the disappearing deer of Washington County in Pennsylvania. The date is December 19th, 2013.

The purpose of this study is to determine the source of what the locals call the 'disappearing deer'. I will give eyewitness accounts as well as my personal findings..."



What if something truly remarkable was happening. A forest magic that humans could not possibly understand. There are tales of this area, where deer seem to appear and disappear before their eyes. It is no use chasing after them, they vanish so quickly, their trails and hoofprints stopping with no deer in sight.

What if...the deer had camouflaged themselves so well that those who followed them walked right past?

What if the deer literally transformed themselves into trees?


I'll be writing a sort of journal entry story here, but I wanted to ask if you guys would like to join in on this idea.

Artists - draw an example of a deer transforming into a tree. They can be in mid-transformation, or be fully tree with hints of deer to them (long ear branches, wriggling tails, eyes and snouts poking out, ect). I'd prefer the scene to be snowy wilderness, with barren trees that have no leaves on them, but you're more than welcome to do an artwork of a deer with leaves on their antlers/branches. It can be a TEF deer, a real life whitetail deer, or any other cervine such as a moose, antelope, elk, and so forth. Artistic liberty is encouraged, and any form of media is fine (sketches, linearts, full color, digital work, ect)

Writers - write either a poem about the transformation process and evading a human, or a short story telling the tale of a deer transforming and becoming a tree. Feel free to be as creative as you'd like.

Do you ever try to track down deer randomly just to say hello or to find them and see what they look like?
I kinda did but they were sleeping so I couldn't say hello.

I hope it doesn't sound too creepy but I love trying to find out the interesting people whom match the symbols of their picto.
It's pretty neat and mysterious.

Today we are celebrating Tale of Tales' 10 year anniversary! Thank you all for being with us and playing our games. We may not have the time or the means to do much with The Endless Forest lately, but please know that your daily frolics through the Forest warm our hearts and soothe our souls. I'm not sure if we would have made it through these 10 years without you!

We have collected a bundle of experiments and prototypes from the past decade and are offering it as pay-what-you-wish (with a minimum of 5 USD) here (available until Christmas):
http://tale-of-tales.com/anniversary
There's an early single player prototype of The Endless Forest in the bundle too, with the souls around the ruin, for those who remember our very first event.

Thank you all for being with us.
And here's to another 10 years!

Michael & Auriea.

Hi everyone, Misshound here!


Oh, and just if you know the answer to my problem, please feel free to answer it for me!
Whenever I go the game, it doesn't come up with my player, but the un-named deer you get before you get an account on TEF. Also, it says no one is online and when I try and log in, pressing the little square thing on the left hand side in the corner, all the options are in a different language! However, it says it's in English... but it's not!

Please help!
