Hey, I'm Hydde! This post is
a recreation of an older one I made off of my Wald account, the oldest character of mine that saw any use on TEF. The reason for the remake is that I really wanted to have all of my deer to be consolidated under my actual chosen name, and given that I've accidentally deleted the avatar on my old account, it wasn't really worth sticking to anymore.
The rest of the post is mostly copy-pasted from the older version, with minimal edits.
I've been on here for a long time now, but have never been active in the community, a fact I regret nowadays. Much has changed since the moment I made my first deer: I finished school, university, moved across the world and got married. However, through the years, I made it a habit to log in every couple of years to see what was going on. Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see this game is still alive in 2025, and is even getting remastered. I can't overstate how excited I am for that!
Nonetheless, the forest is quieter than I remember. After logging on every couple of months this year, I managed to find my first active user! In retrospect I've realized it was
Oxyinco, and it brought me so much joy seeing you! I hope you're having a good day. I'm going to try and make it a habit to update this blog with an additional screenshot every time I'm on :]
Also, thanks to old me for writing down all of my deer names on here. I was convinced I've only ever made one, so finding quite a few nice pictograms saved was a pleasure!
Thank you everyone who has given me a warm welcome before, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in the forest again and again. Sorry my presence has been flaky, I have gone on a long trip that look a lot of prep, as well as gotten 1 cat richer in my life, so I haven't had time to walk the forest as much as I'd like.
It is going to be in my sketchbook through 
! 
It reminded me about how much time I used to spend in the Forest, and how welcoming it feels to lose the boundaries of language to communicate and just be with each other.
