Hadn't been in for a while (life, work, you know the score) but yesterday was the hottest day of the summer so far and also shearing day for my boys, a duty I was happy to finally be able to get done. So I felt like popping back in since I always enjoy it so.

Taking a moment to enjoy the butterflies. It feels nice to be back there.



I continued my peaceful stroll but all of a sudden the forest reality ripped open and I was confronted with a sharp-edged geometric void. Transfixed, I stared into the void, and the void stared back. I began bleating nervously, which probably confused anybody else in the house.



Trembling, I walked nervously towards the void, expecting it at any moment to consume me and deliver me to some mathematical polygonal purgatory.

I've never really been one to use forums all that much so a lot of how to do things evades me. When trying to reply to comments I receive this error



"You have to specify a valid author.44097"

i've tried looking all over the forum or searching up a blog post for help, the support forum doesn't seem to exist anymore, or I can't access it, so if someone can help me figure this out i'd greatly appreciate it! <3
I know this game is old but it does hold a special place in my heart from childhood, I only just re-found it a couple days ago.

Anyway, thank you! I look forward to engaging with others!

This is a WIP for my first deer
Síoraí (SHE-ree) - Irish for Eternal

Hey, I'm Hydde!

I've had an account for a while, 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 (on the left)! I don't know who you are, but 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 2 extra beautifully put together deer was a delight! This one on the right is Wald. My other two are Phylin and Murai.

Went in last night (after having been in the previous night and nobody conscious) and found myself near the fountain and not on my little hill. Picked myself up and started walking home but before I even got there someone greeted me - it was Saater! And I am always happy to see Saater, I don't see enough of him!

He immediately cast me some new pyjamas, which I appreciated.



We ran about like fools for a while, making a racetrack of this mushroom circle and somehow not waking the slumbering deer within with the thindering of our hooves.



An excursion to the lake followed, and I even managed to walk on water for a while, and even sit down on it at one point. I felt like a Jesus-ox-ram-deer-thing!



...until I kept falling in the water and losing my set lol. I am not yet adept in all the ways of the forest, certainly not as proficient as Saater.



I did practice a bit of flying, and we both launched off a convenient hill and sat for a while in the air.





Saater knew a sort of vertical launch move to get airborne which was much more efficient than the way I do it, by running off some raised ground and then repeatedly jumping.

I'll reserve this post for anything to do with the Buster horn situation, for any that are interested.

Current state: coming along nicely!



Hopefully shearing time soon! I'll post more when that happens. The boys look quite different after the wool comes off.
