Pictogram generations

As many of you know, the pictograms that identify deer in The Endless Forest are regularly updated. This way the era when you started playing becomes part of your deer's identity. Pictograms are not just decorations, they are names that belong to a single character. This is why we discourage donating or trading pictograms. They are part of the story of the Forest.

So please, do not try to acquire pictograms from previous generations, or any pictograms that were registered by somebody else.

They are not commodities. They are identities.
Please respect that.
And add to the story of The Forest over time.


Thank you.

Raising funds for the Forest

The IndieGogo campaign to remake The Endless Forest with new technology closed with an amazing 86% of its target collected. That's fantastic! Thank you all for your support.

This means that the remake will definitely happen!

I'm sure we can count on you to collect the remainder of the budget now that we have a bit more time. You can do that here.

Fan art in the game!

Hello there!
I am Margo Putzeys, a student Game- and Digital Design and I am currently doing my internship with Tale of Tales. I am still studying but I will be entering my Master year next schoolyear.
For my internship Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn asked me if I wanted to work with the players and make models and concept art together. And with great pleasure I accepted this of course! This means you will be able to add art to the game!

But there are some 'rules' attached to this: If you make a 3D model, pleas send it as an .OBJ file to me. But a .Blender file ( Blender's file extension ) would be even better! But a .OBJ is good as well! As for the concept art you can send a photoshop file, PNG of JPEG.

So what can you make? Well it's like a set that the deers can wear in the game! This set includes: a mask, antlers and a pelt. Both made for the adult deer AND the baby deer. You can (if some of you know how and want to) texture these models by using a UV map. If you do texture them, send texture files as a PNG. ( PNG supports transparancy )
But of course you are never obligated to making more than you like. The meaning of this task is also for me to make stuff, so if you only would like to make the adult deer's models, that's fine by me. I can always texture them, add models, etc.

So if any of you are interested in putting your art or 3D models in the game. Send them to me and I can adjust them if necessary or take a look if something needs to be changed and so on.
You can of course also send your concept art to me and I can realise that concept art into a 3D model which may have a chance to be put in the actual game: The Endless Forest!

My e-mail adres is : Margo.Putzeys@gmail.com. I hope I will be hearing soon from you guys!!

Greetings,
Margo


EDIT: from Michael and Auriea --
To be clear, we want Margo to do ALL of the modeling and ALL of the texturing. Because that is what her internship is about.

Finding myself back here! + a few questions

Hello everyone!

I used to be a player of this game around 13 years ago, when I was merely a child. Something has brought me back to the forest and I want to play again! However, when I log into the most recent available version (3.41), the game simply will not let me connect! I've made a new account and a new pictogram, and I was able to connect for around 20 minutes, and since then the little dot stays red Sad
Are the old Quest3D servers down, does everyone play the beta version from the fundraising campaign?

Basically, how can I play again? Puzzled

Hi, id love to hang with you all!!

I'm new here but I've been loving the atmosphere and overall vibe. I'm excited to hopefully make some new friends while playing.

first day back

I had vague memories of the forest from long ago... and they brought me here.

Thank you to the little fawn who looked like me.
We frolicked and learned the magic of the forest together until I was pulled away.
When I returned, two deer taught me more about the forest, granting me antlers and a new pelt.
Later another fawn had joined, and we all rested inside a big tree.

Thank you to all who showed me around today~

how do i get a new deer pelt?

i dont wanna be brown anymoreeeee how do i get a different pelt i only know that running through the river gives you a red pelt
