At last! The Official The Endless Forest Fan Art Calendar is here! After much effort, time, and work, it has been assembled and is ready for purchase.

The Endless Forest is a COMPLETELY FREE multiplayer online game and social screensaver, a virtual place where you can play with your friends. When your computer goes to sleep you appear as a deer in this magical place. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. Just run through the forest and see what happens. The Endless Forest is more of a piece of virtual artwork then an actual game.

Ever since the games funding was denied last November the game has been struggling. ToT has been busy creating their new horror game, The Path and The Endless Forest doesn't have the funding to keep on progressing like it has in the past. They need funding in order to host their server, upgrade the technology in order to keep it running, pay their 'staff' (which create the models, textures, sound, music, programming, designers, animation, etc) that create new features in the game like locations, sets, animations, etc. They do not want to charge a subscription fee to the players, because they want their 'game' to be enjoyed by everyone.

Back in October, Michael Samyn and Auriea Harvey (the creators of ToT, and of course The Endless Forest) approached me and asked if I would mind creating a calendar in hopes of raising some much needed funds for the game. I have been playing the game for almost 2 years, am a forum moderator, and jumped at the chance to help them in any way I could. I posted a journal on this club and was thrilled to see many artists nominating each other and themselves to be apart of the calendar. We then held a vote, in which the players themselves picked which pieces they wanted to see in the calendar. Above are their choices!

I would like to thank everyone who volunteered their beautiful artwork for this project, and to anyone who purchases this calendar. Your purchase helps to fund this extraordinary and artistic game, which we players can't thank you enough for. All funds raised go directly to ToT which will then help to fund the future of The Endless Forest!

See you in the forest!

Will there be a 2010 calender? And if so will you be taking submissions for it? Just curious! Love the art in this one.

actually I have a question...where do the actual printed calendars get sent from? I'm curious to wonder how long it'd take to reach me. I live in Aus :B

TheEndlessForest In reply to Rasiris [2008-12-28 05:56:11 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately I have no idea. You may be able to find the answer in dA's Help & FAQ.

Aww I adore deer ;-; I wish I could play it... Any small hope that The Endless Forest will become Mac compatible?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

TheEndlessForest In reply to Protect-moi [2008-12-11 21:12:48 +0000 UTC]

Maybe with more funding, they could afford to bring it over to Mac! Right now the game relies heavily on Microsoft's DirectX. They do have a bootcamp version, [link] [link]
As for an actual Mac version, unfortunately it doesn't look like it will happen any time soon.

Everybody has problems with buying stuff through the Internet except of me? Yaaaaaay, but I don't have cash XDD 60 zΕ‚otych (Polish currency lol) is pretty much for a calendar ;w; and I save every money I get to buy a violin...

TheEndlessForest In reply to JuKii [2008-12-10 03:19:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, unfortunately I can't pick what to sell the calendar for. deviantART picks how much the calendars are priced at.
