Starting fresh, sans drama

I was looking over my old blog posts, and I did not like what I saw.

I deleted over 2 pages of stupid blog entries I made that just accelerated the drama that I claimed that I hated.

Granted, it was a long time ago, but it still made me cringe so bad I didn't read most of them, just deleted them. Because nowadays, that's not what I'm about.

For those who knew me back then, please understand that at the time I was living in an household that was not nurturing, or kind, or promoting good mental health, and that's putting it very, very mildly.

To put it bluntly, I was abused for over sixteen years. Even though I went online to try to escape my reality, unfortunately I was not strong enough to keep it from haunting me and it caused my mental and physical health to deteriorate and I became a bitter, angry, vengeful person. I realized that after I finally escaped from the hell I lived in, a little over six years ago. Anyone who wants to know more can inquire, time is mostly healing those wounds and it doesn't really upset me to talk about it.

Otherwise, the slate is wiped clean. I'm done with that life. I'm onto bigger and better things.

I'm planning on a revival of both GoldenWinged and HelioSphere. They're going to look a little different than how they used to. And yes, there is some art in the pipeline Smiling

Stay tuned, and again, I'm so glad to be back, I can't wait to meet new friends!

Please help! ForestViewer.exe has stopped working - It seems that Quest3D is not correctly installed

Hello all!

I would really like to experience The Endless Forest, however I keep error messages when trying to start the game.

"ForestViewer.exe has stopped working" - When trying to run from the shortcut on my desktop (as administrator).

and

"It seems that Quest3D is not correctly installed, or this viewer is run from the wrong directory" - When attempting to run it through the troubleshoot compatibility menu.

Virtual machine running Windows 7

I haven't been able to find a solution on the forums, though I may have missed something.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have had an EF account for more than 6 years, and haven't logged into the community until now. I didn't follow updates as for some reason I thought Endless Forest game was abandoned and the only game that existed was the old original one.

I was recently going through old pictures and screenshots of my deer and was feeling a painful nostalgia. My heart hurts.

I don't play games as much anymore but when I did, this was one of my favorites. I played it a lot when I was stressed out of my mind in highschool.
It wasn't perfect, but it was peaceful, unlike the world today.

Then some things happened in my life and I temporarily forgot about the game, and then thought it was abandoned for some reason.

It's nice to know that I think it's still being worked on, just based off what what I've read from recent posts? Even with all it's issues and possibility that it might not continue. The world is changing and going downhill at a very disturbing pace, so I can understand everything can/will be affected, even this game.

I want to say thank you for keeping the game alive for as long as it has been. I haven't tried to newest version because I'm missing something from my laptop and it is prompting me to download it. I'm a bit suspicious about downloads these days so I'll wait. Also I realized I will download this game, but knowing that life will whisk me away again due to life stuff priorities- I shouldn't be playing it. At least not right now unfortunately.

Perhaps in the future if the game still persists, I would love to try it again.

But to the founders of this game who worked so hard on it... it's okay to let it go if you need to. I love this game dearly, but reading some of the comments breaks my heart. I haven't played it and I haven't followed the developments and such so I feel that I can't really have a true opinion about the matters.

I am just one person but if it helps to hear it, it's okay to let go of the game.

Question from a newbie

Hello! I'm new to this game and everything to do with it, only recently discovering it and downloading both legacy and updated versions of the game. I'll cut to the chase and make my question brief.

How do you customize your deer? I see people that have like all kinds of colors and even deer skulls for faces, but I am stuck as a default/fawn. Can someone please explain? Tysm!

Any luck on windows 11?

I've asked around quite a bit but I figured I'd also ask here!

At this point I'm pretty certain there is simply no way to get TEF running on my system, but I've also heard others on windows 11 have been able to run it fine, so there's obviously something about my particular system that's incompatible.

I have DirectPlay installed, the game is located in its default directory.

I can unreliably, sometimes, if I've rolled a nat 20, actually have the game stay open long enough to connect to the servers, but I'm unable to log in or even shift my camera around, which will cause a crash. =/

Usually the game simply launches, the "tale of tales presents" text begins to fade in, the game freezes, and it crashes.

I've tried every compatibility mode under the sun to no avail, and even tried running the game in a virtual machine running windows 7 with the same results.

Fawn lost in net-space





Nameless and abandoned by its gods.
Imgur compressed this quite a bit. : D ah well

My Friend Need Help

Today, I told my friend to check out TEF. She didn't end up liking it, so she deleted it. However, even after deleting the files and the app, it still shows up in her installed apps.
Is this common?
Is there a way to prevent this?
Is this a bug? (With the game or the computer?)

Fireflies and mist

An enchanting presence of twilight and fireflies has come over our beloved forest! How wonderful!

Fever dream come back to life!

Hello (again)! I go by Hammy online.
I had some vague memories of this game, playing it when I was very young. But honestly, up until now, I kind chalked it up to some memory of a dream or something. Turns out it was real! I never had an account back in the day, to this is both all familiar and so unfamiliar at the same time hahaha
Anyway, I'm just here as a little side hobby. Gonna keep an eye on this community as that Endless Forest reboot is coming out!
Also, I'll be online as a fawn, probably around now, for whatever time that is for you. See you on there!
