I am getting so much out of this “game” it’s unbelievable, really. The art, the music, the characters, the story … it truly is beautifully done. It really is much more of an interesting and unique experience than a game… and I’m not even close to being “done” with it. Great work on this one … I love it!
Heaven is so far of the Mind
That were the Mind dissolved
The Site of it by Architect
Could not again be proved‘Tis vast as our Capacity
As fair as our idea
To Him of adequate desire
No further ’tis, than Here~Emily Dickinson
I do believe there is more to virtual life then Second Life … the art, the design, the stories … the wisdom… and the fantasy. I always have. I just have never taken the time to explore very much of it since I rezzed into SL nearly 3 years ago.
I am not at all attracted to the violence of video games, the “gaming,” so to speak. But I am very much drawn to the beauty–the environment, the story… the quest for wisdom, and most of all, the art and design … and the “immersion.” I love being immersed… and I love creating the experience, especially when something is actually learned, or “felt” as a result. I would call it my “thing,” actually. After this past week and the biggest disappointment I’ve had in SL thus far… having lost my own “canvas,” as my beloved Doc calls it, I plan to use this time away to see, and do, and play in other worlds quite away from ours for awhile.
I need the diversion. I need new worlds and other types of artful innovations to explore. I also want a bit more of the first one, which is beautiful too, as the allure of Spring begins to bud right here in my own real life secret garden.
Naturally, I’ll keep you posted. I am about to take Ginger on “The Path.”
Of course, I would begin my journey as the redhead. ;=)
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden
I stole away tonight to another world where there are no words, no chat. Only sound and simple body language; the sounds of birds, of wind, and galloping hooves. Nature.
Where you begin your life as an innocent fawn with a peaceful face (designed by lina kusaite) and evolve over time into an adult deer if you choose. Where you may be met by forest “elder” deer dressed in elaborate “costumes,” as I was. Where you are known not by a name, but a pictogram.
I earned a beautiful wisteria headdress tonight, and there are spells and magic, and other really cool little surprises that one will find over time. Most of all it is a beautiful place to explore, and just “be.”
I absolutely loved The Endless Forest by Tale of Tales. It was serene and quiet and beautifully contrived… the perfect antidote to such a painful week. I will return.
If you see a fawn (yes, we are all fawns) in a purple headdress with this symbol above her (his) head, that is me. Give me a rub.
The Endless Forest by was created by Auriea Harvey & Michael Samyn. Read more about them here at Tale of Tales. See you in the forest! ;=)
