Hello all! I'm a new fawn here. I'd just like to share and ask about what I found on the endless forest wikipedia page. I quote: Future plans:
Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn have general plans for what The Endless Forest is to become. They plan to continue the development of The Endless Forest in a way that suits themselves and their players. All plans go through the players to get their feedback and reaction. The game is based hugely on community involvement.
The general plan states:
"There's two main facets to the interaction design of The Endless Forest. On the one hand, it is sort of a magical deer-RPG or simulation game and on the other a stage for virtual performances (kind of an extreme form of Dungeon Mastering).
You are a stag
Every player starts the game as a young male deer. An older female (your mother) will guide you through the beginning of the game. As you keep playing, you will grow and your antlers will take on a unique shape.
There will be magical spells to acquire in the forest. A peculiarity of these is that you cannot cast them on yourself. Only on other deer. These spells can make the game a lot more interesting, so it will be important to find someone who can cast them on you.
Your deer avatar will live for a full year. If you want to continue playing with all the abilities you've gathered, you will need to procreate. There are plenty of attractive hinds in the forest. Perhaps you can persuade them. But better make sure you chase away your competitors with those awesome antlers of yours.
We are god
Every once in a while we, Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn, the authors and directors of this project, will intervene with one thing or another. Sometimes this may be an elaborate intrusion or addition that impacts life in the forest dramatically. At other times, small things will be added. This way, the forest will remain a living universe where you never know what to expect.
There will also be live events. Often things that are tied to real-life performances or exhibitions. Usually a remainder of these occasions will be left in the forest, but it will be most interesting to witness and participate in the event when it happens."
This was in 2011. Does anyone know when the creators plan on enacting these plans? These seem really cool! Sorry for the questions and ignorance, I'm still really new to everything in TEF.
Hey newbie! It's nice to see
Thanks anyway. Nice to meet

A warm welcome to you !! The
The creators are very busy with all their other projects too and the forest will first stay as it is .
Maybe sometimes in the future we will get new areas to hang out and new sets too .
The forest may be an free game but we are helping them out with donations and son on .
Sometimes the creators come and visit us in the forest and they make a little event for us .
This week and till Helloween you can meet the Big Zombie Deer in the forest .
If you cast some spells on him they will bounce back on you and you can obtain the Skull mask , zombie pelt and the the zombie antlers .
Watch out for him , he is bigger then all the other deer and you can't really miss him
Thanks Flyleaf! Now I'm

First and foremost, WELCOME
if you have any (other) questions, don't hesitate to ask! Most of us around here are nice and helpful
And I would like to direct you over here! Have a look at that post!
The creators are possibly going to expand the forest and add things since they are moving away from their other creations. So here's to hoping
There's nothing against submitting ideas like new sets and designs and foresty ideas, who knows, they might take you up on it someday!
Thank you for the very warm
I'm sorry for taking so long to respond, I got distracted in another site. Also, I tried to look at the post, but all that appears when I click it is: Page not found
The requested page could not be found.

Hello and welcome! It looks
Screensavers are animations that play on your computer screen so that when you aren't active on the computer, the image being put onto the screen doesn't burn into it. They aren't used a lot now because a lot of computer screens (if not all of them, maybe?? I don't know, I'm not super familiar with computers) are made nowadays so that images can't be burnt into them so easily.
If you'd like to set it up as a screensaver, you can do it through your personalization or power saving settings on your computer!
Thanks, although I'm still
