Kind little animals cards – mole, bunnies, birds, plus 9 cards!

Summer is here! The sun is shining again. Everything is so summery. And fun. Kind little animals are back in development. A new version of the cards. Today, it's about 8 + 1 card. Sort of 8 new cards with kind little animals. And one card is a variation on the theme. It has a different background. It's for a squirrel. Otherwise, everything is the same.

I draw kind little animals. My regular theme. It's a picture and a story. A short one. That's how it appears on the blog. Here's this version of the program. Release. Includes cards for 2025. That's already a program. Kind little animals cards. First of all, the cards themselves. And some other software. Today, it's about the cards. Each card is a small program. Written in VB.NET. In Visual Basic. You could say so. There's a picture. A story. It's the same as the blog. And it's in the app format. There are settings. Language selection—English or Russian. Color scheme selection. Text, background. You can choose colors. And view the image. And read the story. It's about animals. Each card is an animal.

The first card. It's about a fish. I've never seen such kind little animals before. I even thought about making a separate episode about fish. Well, maybe I'll do that later. But for now, the first fish in the kind little animals series. A vendace. A clever fish, by the way. Swimming calmly and thinking about all sorts of things! The fish says, "Hello!"

A little mouse goes to visit another little mouse. Such a playful picture about mice. These are kind little animals, after all. So they visit each other. The little mouse, happy and cheerful, walks through the grass. Looks around. It's real summer here. And he's in a great mood. So why not go visit. His friend. Grass. Everything is green. So beautiful. This picture conveys a true summer mood.

A gray flycatcher. It's a small bird. It has its own nest in a tree hollow. And it's busy. And today the bird is flying across the field, inviting everyone to play hide-and-seek. Beetles, sparrows. Today you can relax. Especially since it's still spring. The sun is waking up. It's already bright and sunny. There's grass. You can chat with friends and play hide-and-seek. In the picture, it's still only spring. And everyone is waking up after winter. Lots of sun and fun awaits. A great mood – for the future, fun, positivity, joy.

A bird is hopping through the bushes. Such an orange picture. A sunny sunset. A sunny sunrise. I saw this in my garden in the summer of 2025, for real. In the golden rays of the sunset, such a bird was running and examining everything. Jumping, you could say. From one pile of planted plants to another.

Golden light. Piles of soil. Something is growing there. Something small. A salad or a radish. And a little bird hopping. Looking around. The sun is shining all around, and it's a wonderful, carefree summer evening. Not hot, but warm. I'm in a great mood. Calm and positive. This is one of the reasons I wait for summer. For days like these.

A squirrel jumping from tree to tree. This is a bit new. These are two cards. They just have different backgrounds. A field and a sky. Two versions. The sky is a blue background. And the field is a green background. And so the kind little squirrel jumps from branch to branch. And goes to its nest. Grasshoppers below. Then a river. It's interesting to look at what's below. From the branches, everything is so new and interesting.

A blue tit is flying. A wonderful summer day. A tree. Bushes. Grass. A bird is flying. From the tree to the grass. And it does everything quickly everywhere. And it looks. Literally - a minute here. And then further up the tree, look for the bird. And then she runs around the clearing again. Such a lively little bird. This is a real story. I saw a bird doing just that at the dacha. During the day. Hopping in the field. In the bushes. Then I saw her in a tree. And so on constantly—back and forth.

Mother rabbit with her babies. Also an interesting drawing. Maybe a little different in style. And another series could be made based on this drawing. But these are all kind little animals. And for now, everything is within the framework of the card project. Mother and babies in a clearing. It's nice here. The grass is delicious. Everything is sunny. They are playing and having fun.

A mole emerges from underground. The last drawing. In this version. The mole emerged. And didn't damage the flowers. He planted carrots and radishes. And says hello!

Kind animals little cards version 0.3 "Grasshopper" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. 2 little programs. Grasshopper is excellent musician. Sings songs in a grass. Spring and summer here about theme. Mole, goose and another little animals.

Three zombies, three friends, are walking out of an industrial zone.

Zombies are walking out of an industrial zone. They're limping leisurely across the dry ground. Not even grass grows here. Beyond that is an industrial zone. They say there was a chemical release into the atmosphere a week ago. But that's just a rumor. It must be a zombie virus. Three zombies, like three old friends, are walking home.

They're walking leisurely. Limping. Sometimes they try to speak. And you can even make out the words. It's amazing. We're going home. That's what they sounded like. And they haven't even completely lost their minds yet. Another one replies. Yes, we're going home. As if they were walking home in the evening.

But their eyes are huge. They've grown in size. Their eyes are red. And it's as if a mosquito has drunk blood. And its body is swollen. Their eyes are so big. It's hard to see what's there. With those eyes. They're walking slowly. Almost normally. But leisurely. And there are bruises everywhere. Pale skin.

There's a breeze blowing here. It's already cool. Sunset. And behind them are industrial buildings. And a vast wasteland. Nothing grows here. Some zombies are walking. They're probably still conscious. They're trying to communicate.

What are you going to do tonight?

I'm going home!

Yes! We're going home!

Almost a normal conversation. They're walking. They turn a little corner. And they continue walking slowly. They clearly remember where they need to go. They're walking straight through a field. Where nothing grows. It's a bit chilly here. And the zombie remembered that it's a bit chilly here.

It's a bit chilly here!

Yes!

It's a bit chilly here!

They're hobbling and walking. They even communicate sometimes. They're probably seeing everything. Everything's just a little reddish. They're probably feeling increased pressure. Nosebleeds. Eyebleeds. And their heads feel so bloated. Like they're flying. But you're walking slowly. That's how the virus works.

The focus is entirely on the road. And the movement. Such a monotonous movement. They're just walking. Going home. Focus. It's as if you're watching the road very carefully. Sometimes you remember certain words. And they speak.

How are you?

Let's go home!

We're almost there!

They speak a little crookedly. As if the words are difficult to come by. But they can speak just fine. The virus has mutated again. And here it is. Consciousness is preserved.

The bunny is walking – jumping for a carrot!

The bunny is walking across a field. The grass is green. And down there – a carrot is growing. The bunny planted it himself and ran every day to watch it grow. Everything has grown! And now he can eat a delicious carrot. And look at the sky. And there’s a big lake ahead. Beautiful.

The field is green. The grass is growing everywhere. And the bunny confidently strides. Across the field. It’s not far from his house. Literally half an hour. And in all directions from the house, the bunny planted carrots like this. And now he’s going to eat!

The clouds are so white. And barely noticeable. Against the backdrop of such a sunny day. The sunniest day – that’s what this place is called. The bunny himself named this place that. And he lives here. He has a lot to do. He needs to build a house. Another house – further on. He needs to visit the bronze beetle. And the cockchafer too. He needs to drink tea.

But that's okay. There are countless days like this ahead. And you can do everything. The mole dug a tunnel. You can run quickly. Under the lake. If necessary. The bunny hasn't really been to the other side of the lake yet. That's where the mole lives.

And there's the carrot. Big and juicy. Green leaves. The carrot has grown beautifully.

Jump down a bit here. And then sit here on the hill and look at the water in the lake. Such blue water. Beautiful. And the water is calm. Someone lives there too. Then the bunny will go to his house. Play 8-bit PlayStation. Play Tiny Toon with the bunny. The bunny is studying. So he can make new levels for this game too. The mole said that while the bunny is studying, he'll come up with a couple of levels for him. There's the same sky there too. And grass. And you have to jump a lot!

The bunny really likes the first level. Everything is just like his. It even rains here. During the day, too. And you can sit in the house. Drink tea. Play video games. Take a nap. And then run again. See what's where. It really is wet. And then you can go back to the house. Read a book. Tales of the Rabbit Brothers. Tales of the Bunny Brothers. There are already many volumes out. Every time, the Rabbit in the Hat brings new books.

The Rabbit in the Hat. He lives in his own world. And there's a table there. Where all the animals come. It's the central place. The Bunny goes there too. But not very often. Mostly to get the latest edition of fairy tales. And talk to the other animals.

And for now, you need to run for a carrot. And eat it leisurely. Delicious! Very delicious! Your ears are practically wiggling. And you sit there, legs straightened, and leisurely eat the carrot. Carrots. It's so delicious. Your ears are practically wiggling.

I almost forgot: the Bunny will come from the other side of the world in the evening. Play Felix the Cat. It's also an interesting 8-bit cartridge. It's also the first level. There's grass there. And everything is as green as here. They'll play until evening. Then the bunny will go to bed. It's a lot of fun here.

Grass and Trees 3 – Elven Autumn Forest

A vibrant autumn landscape greets us on this beautiful amber island. A wonderful forest. This autumn has covered the entire surface with yellow leaves. Very beautiful. And quite warm, although a cold breeze blows. Here we must search for a magical amulet left by the elves.

And so, decades later, you are here. The wizard from Korvun said there is a magical amulet here that suits you perfectly. It is hidden in this autumn forest. Among the leaves. When the elves sailed away on their winged ships, they left behind some magical objects. You must find this amulet before the cold weather sets in. With the cold, a chill autumn fog will come here. And the island will disappear into it. To preserve its autumn forest. Until next autumn.

There are exactly seven days. The magical days are ticking. On the hourglass the wizard gave you. You must explore everything. The island is quite large. There are no monsters here. Only endless leaves. And the trees. And the breeze. You begin to examine the forest. And so far, everything looks like an autumn forest. It's hard to say where exactly to look for the amulet.

You're already walking through this forest. And you look around. Sometimes the breeze dies down. Sometimes it's gone, and even the sun warms it. And sometimes the breeze gets stronger. It seems to be controlled somehow locally. Magically. You've realized it. The weather is slightly different in each place. The whole earth around is covered in autumn leaves.

You're sure that magic will show you the way. But for now, you're simply immersing yourself in the forest. There's still a week ahead. And you're confident in your abilities. Although you don't know where to start searching. For now, you're simply walking into the forest. You've surveyed it from the ship. From the mast. You've even tried to memorize the landscape. Draw a map. But it seems useless.

You've been walking for a full hour. And you're a little tired. Your boots are excellent. And your steps are easy. But the forest is always the same. Different trees. And everything around is covered in leaves. What is there to see here? And the island doesn't seem small anymore. The forest is simply enormous. A whole hour. And in every direction, everything is the same. It's already becoming a puzzle. A riddle. An elven autumn riddle. The ground is almost flat. Some depressions. Some elevations. But not high at all. And trees. Nothing but trees. You're already thinking that if you had to defeat a monster, it would be even easier. But there's no one else here. Leaves and trees.

For an hour and a half, you've been deep into the forest. Everything looks exactly the same. You need to memorize the way. Otherwise, you'll get lost. You didn't ask how big the island is. Usually, there's a forest on an island. A field. Monsters. A cave. A dungeon. A castle. Abandoned ruins. Well, everything is there. And this time, just an autumn forest. You had to ask something. It seemed as simple as could be. You swam to the island, took an amulet from the ground. Made of leaves. And swam home. A sunbeam shines somewhere. The sun's rays fall gracefully on the leaves. Could this be a clue? Too simple. But what else? Here's a sunbeam leading you deeper into the forest. Here's a sunbeam jumping off to the side. The leaves on the ground thickly cover this island. Like a carpet of leaves. And the breeze blows differently. Sometimes there's none.

You walk through the forest for two hours. Deeper. You turn off a bit. Check what's to the side. But nothing particularly new. The sky is bright. As if it were still summer. Some clouds. It looks like a perfectly ordinary forest. Of identical trees. And it's autumn. Beautiful. But where to look for the amulet here? Seven days of searching ahead.

BASIC Moss - Five BASIC Languages in One Program

This is a very small application dedicated to BASIC. It's such a wonderful programming language. For me, it first appeared in the 90s, along with Microsoft Quick Basic 4.5 built into MS-DOS 6.22. It's brilliant! Inside the DOS folder, there's a ready-made BASIC language. For schoolchildren and for learning. A more than good thing! Doing something other than playing games? Of course, mastering BASIC.

This program is very small. And it has an idea. Having several BASIC languages at your fingertips. That is, you launch the application and have access to several BASIC languages. The dialects I've found, or which I use myself, are Free Basic, Qb64 Phoenix Edition, Qb64, BBC Basic For SD1 2.0, and PC Basic. Five types of BASIC. Five dialects.

What this means is that the program shows you these BASICS and something about them. It's like an audio cassette tape with two sides: the Web side and the Software side. The Web side shows you websites with these dialects. These are the official websites of these dialects. You can read the news there and download the latest version. The Software side shows you these programs running on your local machine, the ones you're already programming in.

For example, if you want to program in the Qb64 environment, you go to the Software side. Click the Qb64 button. The Qb64 development environment opens. It has everything. Except Free Basic. It's more complicated. There's no standard environment as such. Write wherever you want. In your favorite code editor. For example, Vim. Then you launch Vim.

Of course, the Web side. It's pre-programmed, so to speak. Websites with these programming languages won't disappear from the Internet. Click the button and you're taken to the website. But the Software side... That's a question for the user. You need to configure it. First, all the paths are empty. There's a settings file for that called ExePath.txt. It's five lines. For each programming language, which one to launch. Or from the program itself. Menu. There's Exe Paths. And you enter it there. You can configure it in the program itself.

So for Qb64, this is the path to the .exe file that launches this development environment. This applies to all languages except Free Basic. It's best to specify the code editor environment there. GVim, for example. Or whatever environment you prefer. Atom. Something else. That is, this is the code editor where you'll write the code. Most of the languages listed here have a built-in development environment. It's convenient and easy to use. Well, basically, you specify the code editor where you'll write everything. If you wanted to program in Qb64, you pressed a button. And the Qb64 code editor program opens, and you write the code. That's the idea behind the program.

So everything is at your fingertips. Regarding BASIC. Here's the website. I visited it and checked the news. Here's a code editor, an integrated environment. I started writing program code. A program like this. Moss. A plant grows. It just keeps growing. I'm a plant lover. Moss seems like something funny. And what grows?

There's a choice of languages: Russian and English. There are settings for paths to the code editor or the IDE. Executable files of these programming languages. Or an executable file of the code editor. The program is small. It's vertically oriented. And there are two buttons. The web side is for visiting the websites of programming languages. And don't forget to check the news and download the latest version. And the software side is a bunch of buttons—five of them—and you launch it. And off you go—coding!

The buttons are icons and logos of these programming languages. At the bottom, there's a window, a text field with some information. It just contains the name of the programming language and the website. This field isn't very informative yet. At the top, there's a menu item. There's the language, executable paths, and what to launch first: the software side or the web side. The program will remember that, too. And it will run as you choose. And an exit button. And information. There's the program version. Currently, it's 0.1. Happy programming to all BASIC lovers! In its various dialects.

Moss version 0.1 – most first version. In this version there is Basic Moss! For comfortable launch of Basic. 5 types.

Digital Reader – fantasy houses and a star in space

In this starting, very first version. There are two stories. Now about the artistic part. Digital Reader is both software and reading. That is, reading short stories. With a picture. The title page of the story is the picture and the title. And the stylization with the color scheme. The story's letters and the background.

It's also reading stories. Picture and color scheme. Two stories. One about fantasy and adventure. The second is science fiction and space exploration. Adventure and the sea. On one hand. And the depths of space. And a bright star on the other. Two stories. On different topics. One thing in common – they are short stories.

The first story. Adventurers. It tells of adventurers walking along the pavement. In the city. To the port. There are already sailing ships. And a blue sky with clouds. They are walking. And preparing for a new journey. It's like fantasy. Like anime. Like the YS video games where the hero sails on a ship. Then there's a shipwreck. And he's off on a new adventure. Or like anime about fantasy adventurers, or Dungeons & Dragons.

Only here there are heroes, a whole party, a bunch of heroes, a group. A mage, a warrior. Different classes. A healer. There's an elf. Literally four heroes. They're heading to the ships in the port. Their vacation is over. And they're ready for new adventures. Summer. A fresh sea breeze blows. The heroes are walking. And they say goodbye to the city. They won't see it again for a while.

You—you ended up in this world, you don't remember how. Like in Final Fantasy 10. You just ended up in this world. And you became an adventurer. Here the crew is heading to the ship. To sail again. To the island. To explore it. I'm already remembering episodes from previous dungeon crawls. I myself used to be a fan of watching anime. Slayers. Slayers. That's what it was called. About the sorceress Lina Inverse. And her friends. This is also a good memory. To begin the story.

Look at the picture I drew. This bright sky. Clouds. Such beautiful houses. And a stone pavement. And you're walking among these houses. Just like the island in Might and Magic 6, 7, 8. There are often islands there. I love that series of games – Might and Magic 6, 7, 8 in particular. This blue sky. This green grass. And such houses. One-story houses. I remember them very well. Here's the illustration.

Color scheme. Light. Bright. White background. Everything is so light and relaxed. Like a seagull in the sky. The sea. The ocean. And the sky. Pleasant weather.

The second story. A Star Explosion. It's written in a different style. Science fiction. Science. And space exploration. You're aboard an exploratory starship. Such a noticeable size. Like the Enterprise from Star Trek. And you look through the central screen. The front screen. At a huge star. Scientists have already figured out what will happen next in this star's life. And here's an observation. And a reflection. Calm. About space. Cosmic forces, the elements. About the future.

A reflection on how even your research spacecraft might visit this place again. And see a new cycle in the star's life. Similar research topics were in Star Trek: Voyager, The Next Generations. Probably my favorite TV series. I was studying to be an engineer and watched them with pleasure. Motivation to finish my studies. To reach the end. Half reality. Half dream. Such a leisurely story.

Done in black. Space is black. Majestic and calm black. And an image of a sphere. Just a circle. A huge yellow circle. It's a star. And black space. Something to think about. About life and about yourself. To think about space, stars, an engineer. A writer.

These are two stories for the very first version of the Digital Reader. A reader also means reading! Two short stories!

Digital Reader version 0.1 – most first version. In this version there are 2 stories! Adventurers, Explosion of a star. And also program Reader and program for launch.

Zombies that stand and stare ahead

The zombie virus infection spread very quickly. In just a week, hundreds of residents became zombies. They now wander slowly. And stand and stare into the distance. This virus is less active. And it makes them more passive. It's as if they're just standing and staring. As if they're tired. And they need to rest. But it's the same thing. A zombie virus. Only different.

The zombie virus is another type. More passive. They don't even try to be aggressive. All reflexes are suppressed. They stand and stare at the wall, as if. From a distance, it's not even clear what's going on. Pale skin. Sedentary behavior.

There's a void in their heads. It's as if their entire consciousness is blocked. They simply remain motionless. Sometimes they take steps forward, but their mobility is very limited. They can walk slowly. They don't even seem dangerous at first glance. This type of zombie is not very common. A rare occurrence.

Sometimes they start walking slowly. Somewhere ahead of themselves. They can't turn. Only forward movement. No breathing. Pale color. And mostly a stagnant demeanor. They don't make any sounds either. As if hypnotized.

The virus came from the field. On the wind. Perhaps with some insects and worms from underground. This species is characterized by stable behavior. This area is quarantined. But the sign was broken. Someone broke it. And you drove here. You were driving to the village. One you hadn't been to in a long time, to see what it was like now. And what you saw were the living dead.

Yes, there was something said about a zombie virus on the radio. But that was somewhere else. In the city. Some lab. In a swamp. And now you've seen it with your own eyes. Of course, you have a notebook. And you've written down everything you know. You have a gas mask with you. It's saving you. But your supply of purifier will soon run out. It's time to leave. Enough notes. The main thing now is to reverse to a larger area. Turn around there. And head back.

You didn't manage to learn much this time. But at least you took a couple of photos. And made initial notes. Confirming the general behavior. From the manual. Which was written quickly. Someone even suggested ideas. That they had a collective mindset. Nothing of the sort. The virus isn't capable of such a thing. Some kind of mutation simply occurred. A predictable one. Something caused this virus to change. And that caused this reaction.

Kind Animals web – sites with friends. An elephant and a cat.

Summer has begun, and I'm also reviving my developer skills. I hope so, at least. I remembered the web direction. I had ideas for sites about kind animals. A cat, an elephant. I'm also practicing the most basic web, meaning HTML tags. And this is my creative project too. And somewhere in the late autumn of 2025, I stopped. Now I'm back. And I'm releasing a version.

Here's the new version of Slonik HTML. Here's the same version of Cat, but with an English translation. And "Web of Kind Animals" – I think this is the first publication. Maybe I mentioned it. So, this is a full-fledged release within the Kind Animals Web direction. Three sites. Two animals. An elephant and a plush cat. And the web is a little website, essentially a single page, with links to kind little animals on their personal pages.

These little animals are my friends. They're plush toys. They're kind little animals, that's all. And not only that. I also draw kind little animals. It's a big and important artistic theme for me. Right now, within the web direction, these are plush toys. An elephant and a cat.

Elephant HTML is the very first website I started making. New pages have appeared there. Small pictures—brickwork. Some stories. Like, at the river. An elephant drinking tea. An elephant and his favorite NES console. The elephant is small and cheerful. He goes to school. He plays NES. He loves this 8-bit console. There are pages like an elephant and the NES console. He seems alive and lives his own life. He runs to the river. He drinks tea.

The second is a cat. A plush toy. This is also a personal page for an animal. The cat is also small. He lives in a magical tree. And here is his page. He shows us his house. The rooms there are different. Almost like endless rooms. In his magical tree house. Here he drinks tea. Here he sleeps. Here he reads fairy tales. He collects fairy tales. It's his hobby. For example, Slavic fairy tales. And he has a garden. He grows things there. It's all about him.

The third is a web. It's a collection of links to these little sites. The central part, so to speak. Just like it used to be. A site map. In the form of images. Click on the picture of the elephant and you're taken to the elephant's website, for example. Accordingly, there are two versions of each site. A Russian and an English version. They are like independent versions.

We could tell more about each animal separately. But after such a long winter hibernation, I'm trying to get it all out in print. Now the Kind Animals web needs to be revived as soon as possible. We already have sunshine and summer! Summer is just beginning! I need to gather my strength over the summer. And here are three little websites.

The Kind Animals web has come back to life, and there are even three projects here. Three websites. And these websites originally had the idea of simple HTML. I'm just practicing simple HTML. To remember the tags. Practicing. And I'm writing something else about kind animals. I have Kind Animals Cards, I haven't updated them in a while. Winter was long for me. And there are drawings. And here are also websites about kind animals. New format. Here are the plush toys.

Which are always with me. As one programmer said. Hugh. This teddy bear is my programming companion. Always on the table nearby. A big teddy bear. I have friends, too, who are stuffed animals. Several of them. I wanted to make websites about them!

Stuffed animals. Always with me. Kind little animals. They live in their own magical world. And you can learn about this magical world on these websites. It's like a special segment of the internet. Like liminal spaces. Just their own world of kind little animals and their own internet. With websites about these little animals. That's the idea. So far, three websites have been developed. One page for navigation. And two websites about friends. An elephant and a cat.

Mom meets a little bunny

Mom meets a little bunny. The little bunny has been out all morning. Now it's almost time to run to lunch. The little bunny went to his little house a little earlier. He'd been running all morning. And he didn't even notice how the morning flew by. The sun is shining beautifully. There was a heavy rain last night. And now it's not too hot yet. But it's warm. And it's nice to breathe, run, and jump!

The sun is bright and gentle all around. Everything is shining. As if light is everywhere. And everything is in soft tones. Every day is a carefree summer for the little bunny. The only thing to remember is to be on time for lunch. And if you get carried away, Mom will come for you.

There's the grass and the hills. They look so beautiful from here. The little bunny is still little. And the hills seem big to him. As do some of the bushes and trees. How beautiful it is here. There's Mom. Now they'll leisurely stroll behind those hills. Their little house is there. And a delicious lunch. With carrots. And lettuce leaves for dessert. Delicious!

Mom is kind and good. They all have huge ears. And bunnies and hares. They are all friends. And they live nearby. And bugs live here. It's time to go to lunch. The bunny was just heading to the house. There's Mom. This is fun! There's Mom. And the sun! Such a wonderful clearing. And so much green. What sunshine! The hottest part of the day is still ahead. You can sit in the house and read stories. You can lie down and sleep.

Mom is smiling. Mom is kind. Now they are already on their way. In the meantime, everyone is laughing. It's fun here. And there are always so many interesting things. There is a lot to do in the field too. There are lots of bugs there. You can play. Different games. Run. Jump. Hide in the grass. Relax. Go to the river. There are already frogs there. They like to drink tea. And there is a river with beautiful water. Cool water. Cooling off is just the thing. Bugs are often there, too.

And then it's time to go to lunch. Then in the evening, the bunny will come back to play with them. It's already before the golden sunset. And then he'll go to sleep. He'll dream. Fairy tales. And his own stories. And he'll remember today and the days gone by. Every day is something new and interesting.

Grass and Trees 2 – Purple Twilight

Twilight. Purple twilight. Trees. It's getting dark and dark. This forest can be very dangerous. You should cross it quickly. Before the purple night arrives. Faster. There should be dire wolves on the night of the purple moon. Your character is still too weak for them.

So run through this evening. Through the trees. There's a village there. And a city. You can't miss them! The trees can be prickly. And they can catch you. Stopping your run. It's like a maze here. And you have to. Turn in different directions. The main thing is to move forward in the right direction.

The black wolves with yellow eyes are large. Half your height and very massive. They'll appear soon. And they'll see you first. And then you'll have to run even faster. But there's time. You need to cross this forest.

A purple sunset. So attractive. You can admire it for a long time. But it can be both beautiful and dangerous. Enormous eyeless worms will emerge from the ground. It's time to start moving. Through this forest. The orange earth is so dense, but only in appearance. There are huge worms crawling underground.

Run through the forest. It's like a maze. The trees may not let you through. And before it gets too dark. It will take some time. Just reach the other side of the forest. There's a city. That's salvation.

This is a fantasy world. Grass and Trees 2. New grass and new trees with a new story. Sunset, almost night and fantasy. And you run through the forest. Purple sunset. This is such a world.

Digital Reader version 0.1 – the software part of the solution

Time passed, and finally I completed another of my developments. Another direction. It's software and literature. And a bit of drawing. And color selection. This is Digital Reader. It's software that allows you to read short texts. It's designed as an MS-DOS viewer in Norton Commander. There are two stories for this version. One is fantasy. The other is science fiction. And you can read them in Digital Reader.

This is a comprehensive solution for reading short stories. This is the Reader program. That's what it's called. You read stories in it. Small in size, in theory. Written in the QB64 Phoenix Edition programming language. This is another variant of Qb64. My first attempt. But it's very similar to QB64, so you could say they're the same thing.

In this first post, I should talk about the software. This is the Reader program. A simple program for reading short texts. Stories. I created it primarily for this purpose. So that readers can read my stories using this program, I wrote the reader myself.

It looks like Norton Commander or Volkov Commander. Retro styling. Everything is listed at the bottom. Menu. Up and down arrows move forward and backward through pages. For convenience, there's a function to jump from the first page to the last. And vice versa. You can also hide this menu. And there's an information menu. It contains all the information used in the program: color palettes, text titles, page count. Everything is controlled by the numbers 1, 2, and 3. And 0 exits the program. Simple. Like on MS-DOS.

I thought long and hard about it, but overall, the program is ready. And it's ready to use. I named the program "Reader." That's one thing. Digital Reader is a comprehensive solution. Software + stories. And styling. The program is simple and ready to use. I was thinking about writing version 1.0, but I named it version 0.1. It's like a starting point. Together, it's like the comprehensive Digital Reader solution. Version 0.1 is just the beginning. So, Reader 0.1 works perfectly. Version 1.0 could have been written. All the intended functions are implemented.

There's also a Launcher included. From there, you launch what you need, just like from a .bat file. There are two stories now. That's where you choose. So, you need to launch the Launcher. It's just a text menu, like MS DOS. You select which story you want to read by pressing 1 or 2. The Reader program launches, which already has the text for the desired story loaded.

That's basically it for the software. But another topic related to the software is styling. A set of color schemes. Each story comes with its own design theme. Four options here: Story text color. Story background color. Text color for control buttons. Background color for control buttons. Four colors in the RGB palette from 0-255 for each component.

Thus, the Reader program takes data from the story folder. And each story has its own folder. There's a file with the color scheme there. An image file. A text file. Each story for the Reader program is a folder containing three files: a color scheme, an image, and the story text.

This Launcher passes the path to the story folder as a parameter to the Reader program. It then grabs it all and applies it. It loads the color scheme, the text itself, and the image with the illustration. So, the Reader program has a launch parameter. This is the path to the story folder. In the format described. It should contain the color scheme, the text with the story, and the image.

In fact, the Reader works just like that, if you launch it. That's the secret. By default, it looks for the Data folder, which is where all of this should be. The format is the same: the Data folder should contain the color scheme, the text with the story, and the image.

This is the software side of the issue. And the styling. Each story is planned as a separate folder, containing a file with the color scheme, an illustration, and the text itself. The text is in text form. The line length is 128 characters. The Reader has 45 lines per page. 45 lines is one page. That's how pages are counted. Plus, page number one is always the image and the title of the story. It's like a title page. So, the first page of the text file containing the text itself is page number two.

The Reader program loads from the Launcher, and you see the story's color scheme, the illustration, and the text itself. That's the idea. That's why I wrote my own software. I dream of writing my own software. Office-grade software. For simple tasks. Simple solutions.

So, welcome to the Launcher and the Reader!

Digital Reader version 0.1 – most first version. In this version there are 2 stories! Adventurers, Explosion of a star. And also program Reader and program for launch.

A zombie fell out of the bushes after a mosquito bite.

Autumn leaves glowed like light bulbs in the dark light. A swamp. It was dark here. And damp. Very cool. The wind was already blowing cold. It was autumn, after all. But the zombie didn't feel any of this. And didn't understand. He practically fell out of the bushes and walked. Along the swamp.

Somehow, he knew the swamp was dangerous. And he had to walk along the edge. He walked a little slower than a normal person. And he even remembered. How he'd been bitten by a mosquito. And contracted some kind of virus. A week ago. He itched. And then reddish dots appeared. Like bleeding. He didn't have time to be scared. Everything happened quickly. The process was fast. He'd just gone to bed. And woke up in the bushes. Was it a dream? A transformation after an illness. The virus had done something to him. Some strange, large, green mosquito. He remembered that, too.

His mind was still working. He clearly remembered certain scenes as if they had happened yesterday. He was itching. And walking. Then bruises appeared. And he fell. And woke up in the bushes. He hadn't gone to bed. He had gone to bed the day before, at home. And then, during the day, he had gone into the forest for a picnic. On his day off. He loved wandering here. It always calmed him. And now here he was wandering.

He was almost fine. He had just gotten hurt. And a mosquito had bitten him and infected him. The virus had done something to him. And very quickly. He was walking along the swamp. Sometimes his legs wouldn't obey him, and he would grab fallen branches. Or leaves. He looked down. At his feet. He adjusted his movements. And moved on. Overall, everything was fine. He looked at his hands in amazement. As if he should see or understand something. But he just looked at them. That big mosquito was spinning in his head. So green. Swollen.

It was beautiful here in the swamp. He always liked to walk around these parts on his day off. It was almost night. Or evening. It gets dark faster in autumn. What leaves! He was fine, he could even walk around a tree. Or bend branches aside with his hands. He was sure of it. The main thing was not to drown in this swamp. How could he have slept in the bushes? But it wasn't cold at all. It wasn't cold for him. Maybe he had a fever? He'd have to see a doctor. But why did he have to sleep in the bushes?

He lost consciousness. He thought to himself, as if he were. He seemed to be feeling unwell. Some thoughts were clear. And then there was some kind of emptiness. As if he could see something clearly. And something was floating before his eyes. This was normal. It was dark here, after all. He remembered the way home. And that big mosquito. It was all green. Like the swamp. And big. And it was bloated all over. As if there was some kind of green in it. It was dark green. And he remembered the way home. The forest. The road. He needed to get to the road. He has a car there. And on the way home.

Mother rabbit is following her little rabbit. A beautiful sunset.

In a land where every day is a magical sunset. And many, many beautiful flowers. There lives a rabbit. His mother is now on her way to fetch him. To call him for dinner. The sun is already golden. It's time for a snack of carrot soup. And a carrot juice.

Mother rabbit is walking. And beautiful flowers are growing all around. All sorts of colors. A golden sunset. A beautiful warm summer evening. It's so beautiful here. It's like this every day here, and summer never ends. The little rabbit has run off somewhere. He always runs along this path. Somewhere far away.

He often plays here. With other kind and cheerful little animals. There are bunnies here. A mole and an ant, and a snail. They're all somewhere here. Mother rabbit climbed the hill and saw that yes, they had gone far away. Somewhere below. They were playing something and laughing. They were clearly having a lot of fun.

The snail was the first to notice mother rabbit. And all the little animals turned around. And headed back. It was time for dinner. Each to their own little house. They still had about 15 minutes to walk, then there was the hill. And there, waiting for them, was the rabbit's mother. Now they'd get there and go to dinner.

The rabbit has a lot of friends. And a lot to do. He studies. He goes to school. The mole with the glasses is the smartest. After school, they play computer games. And they play outside. Right until evening. The evening here really is very beautiful. Sometimes you can sit on the hill and just watch. For a long, long time. And there are a lot of hills here. You walk up the hill. A gentle slope. Then the hill itself. And then a descent down. Another gentle slope. Everything is like that here. Further on, there's a field. There's a flat surface. That's where all the little animals live.

Such a warm and nice evening. I don't even want to go into the little house. I'd like to play with my friends. With a snail, a mole, a beetle, a butterfly, a bunny. And an ant. But that's okay. Everyone's going home. And tomorrow they'll continue the game.

There are such beautiful flowers growing everywhere here. Mama Rabbit looks at them. Mama Rabbit has lots of flowers growing in her garden too. Such a huge garden. Half the size of a field. A whole maze of flowers. And paths between them. And further on, other little animals have their own houses. In the shade of the trees. Beyond them, there's a river and a lake—that's where the frogs are. There's just a lot of water and everything is overgrown. The frogs float there on their floating houses. It's an amazing sight when the lanterns light up at night. On the river.

Grass and trees - someone's here

You're on a magical island. And there's a whole exploration of this magical place ahead. Different trees grow here. And the weather is fine. A high mountain lies ahead, which obscures your view of what's beyond. And the first thing you see is grass and trees. Birds are singing.

The island looks like a perfectly ordinary place. Birds. Birds are flying and singing everywhere. It's a beautiful place. But there's a figure behind the tree. It's something green. Like a lizard or a small creature. Or a small green goblin. Hiding behind the trees. There's someone else on the other side. It looks like you should get your sword and magic ready. A walk through this forest won't be easy.

You remember sailing on a ship. And now you're here. Among the grass and trees. On this island. At least it's not icy or covered in snow. Someone has already fired an arrow in your direction. But very ineptly. The arrow fell a few meters away. There's laughter in the bushes. Little green men. Lemmings, goblins. You couldn't see them. Another arrow flies. It goes off somewhere. A very clumsy shot.

You hid behind a large, green tree. To watch. And you saw little green men in armor pacing back and forth. They'd lost sight of you. Yes, this island is clearly already inhabited. And they're not expecting guests. There's probably a village up ahead. You saw some of them from the ship last night. Cities. Or villages. You should move further into the forest. To find shelter.

A zombie emerges from the lab.

A white corridor. Almost sterile white. And empty. A bright yellow LED lamp glows. The lamps repeat every few meters. They cut through the whiteness with their warm yellow glow. It's already night. Closer to midnight. And there's no one here. A zombie emerges from the lab.

It's unclear where he came from. Or how he got into the corridor. But it's a fact. A zombie is in the corridor. Walking down a long white corridor. For him, it's like a second life. But it's full of despair. He hobbles slowly. And waves his arms. Grasping the walls. As if they were his only support.

Occasionally, he makes sounds. More like screams. He walks down the corridor. These LED lamps have never seen anything like this. He's already walked the entire long corridor. And there it is – the sign – exit. A green sign. With white text – exit. A zombie is heading for the exit.

The zombie almost falls once. He constantly touches the walls. And, leaning on them, he slowly hobbles toward the exit. The exit is very soon. He waves his arms. And moves on. As if feeling the air. The zombie can only go forward. And it’s hard for him to understand that he can go anywhere else. His head is in complete chaos. Everything is seething, as if in an ocean. And not a second of calm or clear consciousness. Only chaos. And a constant pulsation. He goes. Step after step. To the exit. It’s a zombie marathon. And he’s almost finished it. He’s a participant in this run down the corridor. And he’s succeeding. The door with the sign “Exit” is even closer.

Again and again. The zombie takes a step. And doesn’t stop. When he almost falls, he tries to grab the wall with his hands. And tries to say something. But all that comes out is a scream. It’s impossible to utter words. His head is in chaos. Thousands of mosquitoes seem to be biting. It’s as if he can’t see anything in front of him. His vision seems to be malfunctioning. It seems he can see after all. Sometimes it's bad – through a veil of red. It's blood before his eyes. Sometimes it's clear. Sometimes everything swims before his eyes. The brain has a hard time processing the signals from the eyes. He can't feel anything with his nose. There's no charm. And he can't breathe. He realized this. Consciousness is weak. But it's there. A spark of consciousness. His back hurts as if after hard work.

He'll get a bonus at work for this corridor. A thought. Incomprehensible. And everything drowns in a pulsation like an ocean. Thousands of mosquitoes. That sensation again. A burning. It's all just in his head. He doesn't really feel the pain. It's just that his brain is so heavy. His head feels like it's aching. What's wrong with him? He needs to get to the exit. The answer is there. He thinks he's hurt himself. Thought. This is good. Everything will be fine.

He throws both hands at the door. The door swings open. There's the night air. And night. The light from the streetlamps. And the street. He needs to go there.

Bunny and Mom – Bunny Goes to Lunch

Mom goes to see the bunny. The bunny is still little. The bunny is sitting on the grass and eating something tasty. Lettuce leaves, carrots. He still has a lot to grow. He will learn. He will run and jump a lot. And he is already helping his mom grow carrots. It's a sunny summer now. It's like this every day here.

Mom goes to see the bunny. She tells him it's time to go to his house. There's delicious soup waiting for him. And his favorite cartoon. It's about to start right now. The bunny loves the sun so much, eating delicious grass, that he forgets. He runs around the field. Plays with bees and insects. Jumps after beetles in the grass. He met a mole. But he didn't follow him into the underground passage. A cat is running around somewhere. An elephant is walking around. A dog comes too. Lots of people live here.

The lettuce leaves are so delicious and fresh. The carrots are so crunchy, it makes your ears twitch. A crow is flying around. Bunny offered salad. But the crow doesn't want salad. Bunny has fun here every day. It's time to run and watch a cartoon and eat some delicious soup. With herbs. Basil, rosemary, dill, lolo lettuce, and so many other things. Bunny knows about salad too. And in his little room, he grows a carrot, just one, on the windowsill. And a few lettuce leaves.

As soon as the sun rises and smiles through the window, Bunny immediately runs outside. To run and play! There's still dew on the ground. After the night rain. At night, the rain waters everything that grows. A light drizzle falls at night. And during the day, the sun shines. And it's so nice. In the mornings, it can still be cool. In the river, for example. On a sunny summer day, when a snail brings a letter every day. Once. Not every day. The bunny draws the sun in the evenings. In his sketchbook. He's good at it. That's what his mother says. The bunny laughs. He's very happy. The bunny is always here on the path in front of the house. When it's time for lunch. But the bunny doesn't remember exactly when. And sometimes he forgets. Then his mother comes for him. And calls him into the house.

It's almost time for lunch. The bunny just realized. His mother has arrived. That means it's already time for lunch. He can leave everything. There's no escape. And go to the house. Eat delicious soup. And watch his favorite cartoon. About kind animals. Sit on a chair. And watch TV. Eat soup leisurely.

Then the bunny will run into the field again. It wasn't long enough for the whole lunch. And he needs to look around. As if it's a new field. There's a lot of grass. You can get lost in the field. But you can always find your way back. In a pinch, someone will show you. A cow, for example. They have their place there. Rabbits live there. The field is really big. Delicious peas grow in the field. He and the mole go to eat them.

The crow flies everywhere. And sees everything. At worst, he'll wait for the crow. And ask. The crow always gives hints. The field is interesting too. And then to the house. Where the garden and vegetable patch are. There are so many interesting things there too.

The chub is a fish with a head!

The chub lives in a very interesting and beautiful place. It's either a pond or an entire ocean. Something of both at the same time. There's plenty of space here. And a whole underwater landscape. Everything is overgrown with green algae. More than edible. And extremely tasty. It's worth traveling – tastes are different everywhere. And it's always delicious. There are drop-offs into the water here.

And entire pillars rising up. It's all dry land. And underwater. And it's striving upward. That's the uniqueness of the landscape. The landscape here is beautiful. And most importantly, all this beauty is underwater. The chub swims a lot here. It really enjoys exploring everything here. Especially since it has never reached the edge. It's simply an ocean here. But it's like a pond. For the chub. Its personal world. And the fish has a personal computer. And not just one. Everything is right under the water.

The fish swims up and communicates online with other fish. Plays games. Programming. Trying out new software. And there are already a lot of computers. Chub even made a map of which computer is which. It's quiet here, and no one distracts you. Be it a game or software, or a programming task. It's nice underwater!

You can go down into these chasms. It's darker there. And even cooler. But not by much. You can make a place for yourself there. Store Dendy cartridges there, for example. And in another chasm, build a collection of MS-DOS games on disks and floppy disks. The water is excellent; it's a great swimmer.

There's even underwater tea growing in this place. You have to pick it and drink the tea. All sorts of different varieties. Around these pillars rising up. And there are portals to other worlds at the bottom. These chasms sometimes lead to other worlds. Sometimes they're empty. And sometimes someone lives there. Or even lots of cheerful fish swim there. You can find lots of friends that way. It's never boring here. A wonderful underwater world. Chub is very pleased. That he has such a world. A chub can find a very small depression like this. And sleep in the shade. It's like night. Very comfortable. And there are plenty of such places. Some of the pillars that go up don't even reach the land. But you can see the sun and lots of sand. You can sit there and relax. The fish has a TV and a chair there. In one of these places.

It's quite deep here. And it's like outer space. A huge expanse. And a variety of landscapes. Which adds variety to this place. And the algae here are so delicious. They vary slightly in color. The fish map this algae. And record the taste. They share with other fish what tasty things each brings. There's a whole world here where fish share tasty things with each other. After all, something grows and you can plant it yourself.

A whole underwater garden. Some beautiful plants. And tasty things to eat. And you can also exchange Dendy cartridges and MS-DOS games. That's also something. There's a portal here for fans of underwater computer games. The fish swim a lot. And he thinks about all sorts of things. He remembers what happened yesterday. And what's interesting to do today. And what to put off until tomorrow.

Chub is a big fish and programs a lot in a variety of systems. For example, his favorite system is MS-DOS. Rybka makes a lot of fun games, lots of underwater strategy games. Turn-based and real-time. And he writes underwater fantasy. Then he'll make a game. And during breaks, he spends a lot of time swimming and eating delicious seaweed. Oh, and he can also listen to music on audio cassettes.

The pond frog sings songs in a magical pond.

The pond frog sits in the shade or in the sun. It depends. And watches everything around. It's a wonderful pond. The water is green. The colors are just like the frog. Water lilies grow here. Delicious algae grows underwater. There are lots of interesting things lying on the bottom. There are driftwood. And on the surface, there are water lilies. And sunshine. You can shelter from the sun in the grass or in the water.

The pond frog loves this pond. It has its own little house here. One above the water, one under. And the frog builds itself a gazebo on the lilies. To drink tea. And to dive. There's a place in the shade. And a place in the sun. Whatever your heart desires.

You can even float on a water lily. Slowly. And float to the very middle of the pond. And then dive. So that only your eyes are visible. You can float. The frog spends a lot of time underwater, too. There's sand there, too. And it's wonderful to watch the water vary in color. In different places. From dark tea to golden. And there's also a variety of greens. The pond has so many interesting things. It's a magical pond for a frog.

Trees provide shelter from the scorching sun. And there's a meadow nearby. And there's a spot with swamp water. Grass grows there. And everything is always in the water just right. And then the water gets thinner and thinner. And only then does the grass grow tall and dry around. It's not so hot in the tall grass. And there's shade.

The frog also knows places with large puddles where it can sit and get wet. There are these little holes in the field. And they vary in depth. It's just fun to jump in and sit there. And sometimes it's so deep—an entire stream starts there. So much so that only the eyes can be seen.

The frog is everywhere here. In the grass. In the field. In the stream. In the pond. The pond is the main spot. The frog spends most of its time here, and it's where the frog makes its home. There's a river. With golden water. There's a part of the river with dark water. The water there is dark. And you have to swim to the shore. And there's sand. Tall grass. And trees. Beyond that is the forest. The frog doesn't go there. It tries to stay near the water. And there's water everywhere here. One way or another, all the waterways lead somewhere familiar. To the pond. It's the central part.

So you won't get lost. You just walk along the water. And you'll come to the pond. You'll recognize familiar streams. Familiar hummocks. Grass. Puddles. Familiar places are everywhere here. You can travel along the golden river. Or swim along the deeper river. Whatever you like. You can run across the entire field. Even jump. Or sit in the grass. It's nice there in the morning after the rain. It's humid.

The frog tries to come back for lunch and tea. And when it's time to go to bed. And so she hops around everywhere. There's an even bigger pond there. It's probably even more magical. Every pond is a magical place. A whole world to explore. Here's a frog floating on a water lily. And looking around.

The frog is also a musician and a singer. Croak-croak. A cheerful frog. Singing her songs everywhere. When she can't hear the grasshoppers in the field. The main thing is that there's song everywhere. That's what the frog thinks. It's not boring here at all.

A shrew – on the sand and in the sun

A shrew is sitting on the sand in the sun. There's a lot of grass here. It's orange from the sun. And the shrew is sitting here now. Looking around. There's sand here. Quite dense. And it's orange from the sun. Probably. The shrew just came out of its burrow. A long passage. And it brought it here. To a sunny spot. Being in the sun is also a pleasant thing.

All the kind little animals live here. They are kind and smart. And the shrew is in the sun. And underground. There are whole passages underground. Burrows. A world of its own. Above ground, too, is a world of its own. Sunlight. Grass. And sand. It depends where you emerge. The shrew has a map of the underground passages. But it doesn't understand much about what's above ground. Every time it emerges, it's surprised.

It's nice in the sun too. The sand is orange. And the grass is scorched by the bright sun. There's a red brick lying nearby. Someone put it here. Last week. And it's still there. It'll probably stay there forever. The world above ground is a complete unknown for the little animal. The shrew has already made friends with various little creatures. A mole. A mouse. But there are still many amazing things ahead.

The shrew sits and basks in the sun. It can be cool underground. The shrew has plenty of tasty roots in store. There, underground. And dry leaves. There are some, too. It's comfortable to wrap up in them and sleep. It's nice to remember my underground home. The surface is its own world. Everything is so sunny. And I still have many days to explore. Further on, there are thickets of grass. It can be dark. And cozy.

Previously, the shrew only lived underground. And at night or at dusk, it would crawl to the surface. But how smart the little animal became. A whole world opened up. There is a surface. There is so much here. The sun is shining. It's wonderful. So many new things. There's sand. And small pebbles. All sorts. Light and dark.

Now the shrew will look around. And decide where to go next. There's an underground passage somewhere in the grass. She can find it. And navigate from it. The grass has its own unique features, too. The grass is green. Beetles live there. The little animal has already met the cockchafer and the rose chafer. And other beetles. Beetles are kind fellows. Always cheerful. They crawl around. They explore everything. There are also ants. They are also busy fellows.

The shrew knows them now, too. Here she sits in the sun. And thinks about the world above ground. How amazing it is. A breeze caresses her fur. The warm sun warms her. In the grass, the beetles are already calling her to come have some tea. The ants have made some kind of tea. From leaves. Perhaps she should go inside and have some tea. The little animal will go to the grass to find beetles and ants. And it's nice on the sand. It can sit in the sun.

Tench - an underwater field and a treat all their own

This beautiful pond with golden sand is home to tench. There are delicious cubes right at the bottom. So delicious that you just want to swim here. The tastes are varied. And the fish swims here. It wags its tail. And its fins. It has a lot of them.

Delicious cubes. That's the specialty of this pond. The tench lives here. Up there, the water is so joyful and golden. You can hear the water murmuring from above. And the blue sky is more visible. So beautiful. And with clouds. The water is clear. And down here, it's not so hot. And the weather is just right. And there's lots of delicious food.

The fish has a home here. And an 8-bit console. And tea to drink. And food grows – all you have to do is swim out of its home. The sand is golden. And it creates a great mood. From morning until night. When you swim, you can go deeper. Like you're in the shade. Or you can swim higher. Into the very light. And into the very heat.

The tench fish lives here. This is its own world. Of course, it swims to visit other fish and other worlds where a whole host of different fish swim. And then it swims back to its home. To sleep. To eat. And to admire the golden sand. So you sit on the sand. And just look at it. It's amazing. You remember something fun you did yesterday. What game you launched, what 8-bit cartridge you tried.

The tench swims a lot. It's always great weather here for swimming. For seeing everything. The water is clear. You can see well here. And it's like an underwater meadow. With beautiful golden sand. New tasty cubes appear every time. And it even makes you want to swim further. To find out what flavors have appeared there. Here with fruit, there with bread. The main thing is to remember where everything appears. That's what the fish does. It records everything on its personal computer.

The tench swims a lot. And it knows this underwater clearing well. The fish's house is made of sand bricks. It makes them with its fins. And the fish's house is very large. And there are small houses. For when it wants something compact and cozy. But otherwise, there's always the big house. And the fish continues to build it. It's very long.

It swims well here. In the house, which is large and long. The fish has a whole collection of computers. They're arranged in a row. In a long corridor. And in another corridor, there are televisions. And you can watch TV from all sorts of worlds. There are so many interesting things to see there. There's a room with consoles and cartridges. The fish is still mastering the 8-bit format.

It's sunny on the surface during the day. It's not cold at night. And the moon and stars are visible. It's so funny to watch how the water distorts the surface. And the fish sees the stars and the moon at night. It tells everyone. All the other fish.

A common hedgehog – basking in leaves

A common hedgehog adores autumn. He loves to bask in autumn leaves. So varied. And so beautiful. For a hedgehog, autumn is a celebration before bed. So colorful. So many beautiful leaves. It's a joy. And everything is so colorful.

Here he is walking through a warm, dry autumn forest. Leaves are everywhere. Dark green earth. Here and there, soft moss. Pieces of dried leaves. And large leaves. Each leaf is like a painting. Such a beautiful pattern on each leaf. And a unique pattern every time. The hedgehog remembers it all. And then he dreams about it all winter long. You can practically never sleep. In his dreams, he continues to walk through the autumn forest.

There are so many leaves in the autumn forest. You can literally dig through them with your nose. And smell the fresh, warm autumn air. Catch the breeze. With every single needle. The wind is fresh. And warm. And then it gets a little colder, and the leaves become fewer. The hedgehog gets bored and goes to sleep until spring. In the spring, he wakes up. And he'll do his own thing all summer. And then he'll have a long holiday called leaves and autumn.

The hedgehog can even cover himself with leaves and sleep. He carries leaves home, too. You can drink tea with them. And cover yourself with them. Because there's such a beautiful autumn here, and the hedgehog lives here. Other animals choose worlds where there's only summer or something else. But the hedgehog needs autumn and a long summer. And he doesn't mind sleeping either. A whole season of sleep. So many dreams. The hedgehog is an artist, and in the spring he draws everything he's dreamed about. Such whimsical things. All because of the leaves.

Now the hedgehog is bathing in leaves. Taking a leaf bath. It's his favorite thing. Then he can dry off in the green moss. And for now, he needs to run around. And get tired. To fall asleep quickly. The hedgehog runs deep into the forest. And he sees the forest as endless. Trees. Leaves. And it's quiet here and nice. In the summer there is a field. In the summer the hedgehog is in the field. That's why he has a house at the edge of the forest. In front of the field.

Marbled Ferret – Birdsong and a Path

Marbled Ferret. He has such a bright back. And a cheerful tail. He emerged from the dry branches. Where he'd been for a while. The grass around him was still dry. As if after autumn. Yes, that's right. Everything is already turning green. And it's spring. And the branches are dry – after autumn. The Ferret knows this. He walked out onto the path. There are small stones.

The weather is great. The air is fresh. It's not too hot yet. But it's already warm and pleasant. It's wonderful that the grass has already grown. The branches are turning green. The Ferret looks around. The birds are already singing loudly. They're somewhere above. Just last year, the Ferret made friends with a huge number of birds. They are excellent musicians. And great conversationalists. Where can he find them now, those very birds?

The Ferret went to another world for the winter. And he was there all this time. Then he came here. And he fell asleep in the branches. And then he woke up. To spend the whole summer here again. There are many kind little animals here. A mole wanders around somewhere, too. A cow. Near the river or in the field. He needs to find them all. So the ferret went out onto the path to look. Was there anyone he knew?

So far, no one. This is a very big world. And it is constantly expanding. The ferret saw a new lump of earth appear before his eyes. And a week later. Small grass was already growing there. And a couple of weeks later. This was already a new part of the field. An amazing sight. The rabbit showed him this place. The rabbit is observant and noticed this. He shared his observations.

The ferret will probably follow the path for now. Maybe he'll see someone he knows. There are many interesting things ahead. And this path is long. He never walked all the way. He will walk slowly. Beyond there is a river and a field. Birds are singing in the branches. These are new birds. The ferret doesn't remember them. It's a world of intersections. And all sorts of little animals come here for the summer. Perhaps, like the ferret himself, they first found themselves here by accident. They were simply looking for a new place. And they ended up here. And now some of the little animals have come to like it here. And they remember this land. Just like the ferret.

But there's winter and autumn here too. Only in the summer is it warm and wonderful. Then it gets gloomier. Autumn is still nice. Golden autumn is beautiful. The ferret looked at the leaves a lot last year. Until it got cold. Perhaps he'll do the same this year.

Trout – dark green water and fish

Trout also lives in its own pond. The water is green here. Excellent water. Perfect. To do all its business here. To swim. To sleep. To do whatever. The pond is large. With branches off in different directions. It's more fun to swim here. The sand is very soft. You just sink into it. It's easy to bury yourself in it. And there's nothing else there. Just clean sand.

The trout swims around and thinks about all sorts of things. About computer games, magazines with pretty pictures, about songs and records, about funny cartridges. The fish have many hobbies in their fish world. Burying yourself in the sand is also fun. It's so soft. You just bury yourself in there, up to your eyes, and just sit there. Waiting for who knows what. But it's fun. That's how the fish spends its days.

This is the world of fish. Trout live here. They swim. They flap their fins. They swim and dive deeper. It's not that deep. Just perfect for such a fish. It rises higher. The water here is dark green. Everything around is the same. And you can swim into the portal to visit other fish. There's already a common space there for a wide variety of fish. And a wide variety of water. And a river. And the sea. And clear, transparent water. And all sorts of different types and shades of water. The main thing is to set up the portal and swim in.

There are many friends there. You can swim in the sea. The sea is an amazing thing. There's much more water there than in the pond. And much deeper. Down below, the water is already black. But the trout don't dive there. They swim in their own depths. There are many interesting things here.

And there's also clear water. With corals. A beautiful place. There are many rivers. And many other lakes and ponds. Lots of friends swimming there. There's always someone to talk to. And play with. And this is this fish's home. There's no one else here. And the fish swims here peacefully. Drinks tea. Plays a video game. Studies. Relaxes. Lots to do. Trout can also stir up sand from the bottom with their fins. It's fun. They flap their fins and their tail. And the sand rises from the bottom. And they scratch their backs as it settles. To shake it off, just rise higher and swim faster.

A steppe ferret on a bright day

A steppe ferret on a bright day. The sun is outside. Everything is dawning. And it's bright. And so beautiful. It's like every day is a holiday. The grass is bright. Even brighter in the sun. And even more delicious. Sand and earth. Everything is so interesting. The day is coming. The daylight is increasing. And now there will be more sun. This is a great joy for the ferret.

The ferret walks through the grass. And there is still grass. And sometimes the grass is thick, and sometimes not. He walks carefully. And looks around. Now it will soon be summer. He can bask in the sun. And think about those dreams he had. Although now the bright day drives all dreams away. Only the sun and daytime activity.

What else can he think about? He can walk to the river. Drink from the stream. Watch the sun play with the water's surface. The pond is alive. The water gurgles. And there are pebbles there. He can run across them to the other side. And there is a field and grass again. Hills. But not high ones.

The ferret walks slowly. He checks every bush. Under some of them, there are beautiful stones. All sorts. White ones. Black ones. Some the color of asphalt. Everything is interesting. The ferret collects them for his collection.

The ferret knows these places well. And soon, summer will come again. Again, days of fun. The ferret has been waiting for such days for a long time. And he makes his way to the river. The ferret has a wooden house on the other side. There, he will rest. And run along the hills. These hills are covered with all sorts of grass. The ferret can also dig holes in the sand. Or in soft soil. And plant flowers and grass. He actively does this too.

The sun shines brightly and warmly. A fresh breeze blows through his fur. It creates such a pleasant sensation. Someone needs to scratch you. It's truly the best day. And yet, it's only spring. And summer is still ahead. Just think, the ferret still has a whole summer ahead of him.

The ferret has already seen the birds. They're all here. I'll have to visit them and talk to them. Summer's coming! Plenty of grass. And the ferret moves on and on. Heading toward a familiar river. And there's a house there. And an owl lives there in a tree. But the owl won't wake up until evening. When the sun sets.

The ferret is in a great mood today and always. The brightest day. And every day is like that. Bright sun. Bright day. Sun in your eyes. Look away. And everything is orange. And then you see everything in bright light. Now it will be like this every day. The river is already babbling nearby. The ferret carefully pushes aside the grass. And moves toward the river.

Panda Ant – Walking Through a Field

Panda Ant is making his way through the grass. It rained this morning. And there are lots of drops of water. He can drink them. The water is delicious. And the grass is green. He can eat. Panda Ant often comes here. He's a builder. He loves to build things. Out of sticks. For example, he can build a house.

Just a couple of days ago, he finished making a house for a mole. The mole always digs the earth and lives underground. Now the mole will have a house above ground, too. Panda Ant built a tea house before this. For all the animals in this forest. And in the field. In the grass. You can come and have tea. Rabbit always makes new tea. He's always running around here. And making tea.

Panda Ant loves walking through the grass. Beautiful sky. Interesting earth. Everything is so fresh. After the rain. Fresh air. And soon there will be a warm summer day. It will be hot. It's very fresh now and so nice. There's a breeze blowing. The panda ant is walking along its path. A path across the edge of a field. There's a place with more grass. And there's a place with less grass. The grass is green. Just like the rabbit's green tea. I wonder if it's a coincidence or not. I can't find the time to ask the rabbit about it.

The ant is also thinking about making a path here. So he can see where he's going. Put some sticks here. And make a path. Otherwise, walking through the grass feels like walking through a forest. Sometimes a chicken wanders here. Just like I told you. Of course, it's okay. It's a field.

The ant has many friends, other ants. They live in a city. An anthill. There are many, many houses there. Many stories. Lots of ants live here. The city is also interesting. They have a TV and a radio there. But when you go far into the field, the signal weakens.

The ant is walking. There's a stream far away. With fish. And then the forest. In the forest live wood ants. There are fir trees there. And it's so nice when the sunlight falls from the branches. There are lots of branches on the ground. From fir trees. A wonderful place. There will be another city there.

The ant walks along and rejoices. What a beautiful day today. How nice everything is. The sun and summer. And he's already seen many other kind little animals. His friends. Everything is nice here. The ant is fluffy. He likes being so fluffy. This makes him very different from other ants. Ants are kind and cheerful. And they even build cities.

The ant walks along, here's a blade of grass. Here's another one. You can climb it. And how to look from above. But the view is usually the same. Only sometimes you can see a chick running like a hurricane across the entire field. He's lost here again. Or he's just playing. You can't understand him. But he's cheerful. He always runs to the river later.

The ant has already walked a long way. He also has a little house here where he can rest. He has tea there. Fresh. The rabbit poured it. He always does this in the morning. Maybe there's a beetle sitting on a chair there. A green beetle has a green chair. We can chat about all sorts of things. And then move on. The ant will be there soon!

Whitefish – so much space for a fish!

Whitefish live in a pond. The water is dark here. A little blue. The sky is reflected right in the water. It's very beautiful when you surface higher. The deeper water is darker. And the bottom is cooler. This is especially valuable on a hot day. It's usually just a nice summer here.

The fish has a lot to do. It needs to swim here and there. The water is so pleasant. And good. Simply excellent water here. Swimming is perfect. The bottom is clean sand. No branches or anything else. It's very pleasant to scrape your belly on the sand.

The water is like an ocean. So clean. And free. Swim in all directions. Water is everywhere. Dense. And nothing gets in the way. This fish is very happy. This is not a pond, but an entire ocean. Considering there are passages to other similar bodies of water. And so it turns out. And further on – it really is an entire ocean. Only this is a pond. The largest pond in all the worlds.

Other fish come to visit. Having lots of friends is always fun. You can all swim together. Discuss the news. Talk about all sorts of things. And swim to the bottom. And sit there and drink tea. Play video games. Listen to music. The fish has so many new things at the bottom. He can't even figure it all out.

Fish often watch all these things. Movies, music, computer games. There's a whole treasure trove here. A whole pond dedicated to this topic. And all the other ponds are so clear. And you can swim wherever you want. Water. Just water in all directions. And nothing gets in the way.

The water is simply perfect. Like the sea. But not so big. And there are many, many ponds like this. And then one huge pond. This is the world of the whitefish. The fish live here. And swim. Wag their tails. Wave their fins. Everything is fine with the fish.

And most importantly, it's not boring. Lots of friends always come to visit. There's a pond called "All Friends' Pond." There's a pond of silence. You can be alone there if you want. And the whitefish hasn't even figured out what all the other fish are for. The fish live in one pond. And they swim everywhere. It's great to have so much space!

The gopher has a whole summer ahead of him!

The grass is already growing. Almost summer. The gopher crawled out of his hole. He woke up. He shook himself. And looked around. That's the first thing you should do. When you've just woken up. And it's spring all around. And you slept until the warmest spring. Almost until summer. He slept well. He woke up happily. The sun was shining. And the grass was green. Beautiful! The gopher even stared.

A whole summer of fun lies ahead. And joy. Many more days like this lie ahead. He woke up. He looked around. And stared. It's like this almost every day. What a wonderful summer. Everything is green. And so delicious. The water in the river is flowing. So refreshing. It might still be a bit chilly for a swim.

There are no grasshoppers yet. The gopher often listens to them. They are excellent musicians. They will come here later. While it's summer here. Or they will grow up. And that's how it happens. While they are still small and just mastering music. The gopher will now slowly walk. And stretch his legs. He slept well. And had many good dreams. But the gopher has already forgotten some dreams. And he remembers others. He sometimes writes them down. Everything he dreamed. Whole stories emerge. Gopher dreams. He writes them down every year. Until autumn.

Then the gopher will run through the grass. All the way to the river. And drink some water. It's very refreshing. But he won't be running in the water for now. It's a bit chilly. His friends, the birds, are somewhere around here. He should find them. Ask them how they arrived. What they've been doing.

He should look for beetles. They're also somewhere around here. They've also been busy with their own affairs for a while. The gopher will also check on the frogs by the swamp. After all, he only just woke up. And everything seems so new and interesting to him. While everyone else has long since been busy with their own affairs. That's the kind of gopher he is.

But that's okay. The gopher will soon start doing his own thing too. He has a house here. Made of wood. He'll build a dam with the beaver. He'll build his own house. He has a lot to do. He'll tend to the garden every day. The garden is big. The bunny will come to plant carrots in the field. The gopher also helps the bunny. He needs to look after the carrots. They'll grow a lot. He needs to fix the cart. He needs to check how the apple trees are growing in the garden. It's far away. But the gopher also watches over them.

And then he can play with other kind little animals. There are many worlds here with kind little animals. All different. The gopher falls asleep. Some go to other worlds. Where it's always summer. And here it's just a shortcut. It's good to sleep in the hole. Nothing matters. The gopher is now remembering all his summer chores. There's a whole summer ahead! Sunshine! And joy!

Mountain snail – among the mountain houses

Even in the mountains, our friends live. Kind little animals. For example, the mountain snail. In the mountains, there's room for forests. And meadows. Plenty of juicy, tasty grass. You can crawl there almost endlessly. It's quite unusual in the mountains. But on the other hand, there's the same forest and field. All of that is there too. And mountain snails live there.

Here in the mountains, flowers grow that don't exist in lower elevations. There's plenty of tasty grass here. The snail crawls everywhere. The snail has many friends. Other mountain snails. And the sun is closer here. More than in others. High up, the air is clean and fresh. It's pleasant to breathe. There are many climbs and descents. And entire forests are hidden between the mountains. And lots of meadows. It's a wonderful place!

The snail has houses here. In the forest. In the mountains and in the meadows. There's plenty of space here. You can put some leaves in reserve. The snail does just that. There's a little room in the house for leaves. You can drink tea with them. And eat. The snail knows a place where incredibly tasty leaves grow. She goes there once a month.

And even closer to the forest, delicious dark green grass grows. When you spend a lot of time in the meadow, you want to spend some time in the shade. In the wooden house, there's a little room for just such grass. Excellent tea. And a great treat for the whole day. Here in the wooden house, the snail has a place to watch TV. And play Dendy 8-bit.

The snail crawls between its houses. Back and forth. The distance is great. And then it looks for new interesting places. There's still so much to explore here. The snail also sees different stones here. And sketches them. The snail is interested in stones. And simply sketches them. And makes a map. Where each stone is. Maybe it means something.

Drops of water after rain are always useful. They are very refreshing. So, I plucked some water from a leaf. And you feel refreshed on a hot day. And you hide in the grass. And you sit and rest. Sometimes the snail spends entire days in the open air. And then it goes back to its nest. The snail has a lot to do.

Smelt – a fish in a green pond

Smelt lives in a pond. It's a cheerful pond. With greenish water. Sand. And algae. Usually, everything is green here. And the smelt knows this place well. There's a pond here. And it's big. Really big. And there are places where you can swim somewhere else. A whole corridor from which you can get to all sorts of places. A river. A lake.

And underground passages. Filled with water. There are even more places to visit. And including swimming to visit other fish. Smelt often swim to pike and carp. The water is full of algae. And the food always seems to float by itself. It's convenient. Other fish don't have this. They are very surprised when they come to visit. It's a unique place in its own way.

The water here is excellent. The pay is good. This is the fish's home. Its very own home. The fish, though small, loves to swim everywhere. And it swims a lot. Everything is overgrown with algae. Even the surface. And the bottom. It's quite cozy here. And if you want, you can swim through the underground passage—anywhere. For example, into the lake with blue water. The water there is slightly different. And the lake is huge. It probably even seems endless.

The smelt fish also swims around a lot. It's great to chat with the other fish and find out what's new. With one fish, you can play Dendy. With another, you can see the wonders of Super Nintendo. And there's also a smart fish that is learning computer technology. That's amazing! One day, the smelt fish will go to school too. But for now, she'll play Dendy.

The pond is nice and interesting. The fish lives here. In a house. A house made of sand. And there are many rooms there. Big and small. There's even room for a Dendy console. The fish creates new rooms out of the sand from time to time. This used to be a shore. And now the fish is digging inside the room. The sand is easy to dig in. And it's quite hard. It holds its shape well.

The fish may be small, but it has a lot of space here. Lots of rooms. And lots of friends. Other fish. And also a platypus. The fish made friends with him in one of the other worlds. He also has a whole water world. Only there's grass and a surface there.

This world should have a surface too. But the fish knows nothing about it. It swims around in the water. The platypus promised to come over someday. And see what's on the surface and tell us. And for now, the fish swims around. And waits for his favorite TV series to start. On fish TV.

A forest snail – along forest paths

In the forest, in the shade of the trees. Where there's earth. And branches. That's where the forest snail lives and crawls. Crawls peacefully. Among the earth. And under tall trees. It's not always as light here as in a field. Or in a meadow.

The forest is cool. And quite cozy. You can rest peacefully here under a tree, right in the shade. Or even sleep. Earth. There's plenty of earth here. Fresh earth. So delicious. The smell of freshness comes straight from the earth. Sometimes grass grows on the sides.

There are ferns. You can climb them. Here and there, there's a gap, and it's not so dark. Sometimes the light falls from above, very beautifully. When the forest is not dense. The main thing is to follow the path. And there will be an exit from the forest. And there will be more sun. At first, there are gaps. And then the sun will shine fully. Quite a journey.

The forest is quiet and fresh. And often dark. Everything is in the shade. Because there are always a lot of tall trees around. There are clearings. There are gaps. The forest is also different. Now a snail is crawling. From a dark place. And yesterday the snail was in a sunny clearing. Even grass grows there. Then the snail was where the ferns grow.

The snail is traveling through this forest. Who else but a snail can explore everything here? There is a forest. It's big. There are lighter places. There are darker places. And the snail can crawl everywhere. It moves leisurely. To see everything. And remember. To sketch a map. To make pictures. To make sketches. Then the snail will show it all. To its kind animal friends. To the elephant. To the beetles. To other snails.

The snail has a briefcase. And a whole shell. In which there are tons of useful things. Forests can be different. Coniferous, for example. Lots of small sticks from fir trees. There are lots of them. They are fluffy. Ticklish. And there's a forest where there's just dirt. There's a place where mushrooms grow and branches rot. Fallen from above. It can be damp here, too. A forest snail can see all this.

When you spend a lot of time in the dark. All day long. And it's so cool to crawl out into the light. Look at the sun. And talk to the kind little animals. Show them your drawings. And show them your new piece of the map. The elephant and the mole fold these drawings. And they fasten it all together into one very large map.

There's a snail seen a place. Pleasant moss grows everywhere. And there's even sunshine there. Green moss. And everything grows. Such soft moss. And there's also a place where fallen leaves lie. And there are mushrooms there. A beautiful place. Yes, the snail knows that the forest leads to another world. Where there's an autumn forest. A very beautiful autumn forest. It's incredible!

The snail knows all about it. The snail crawls along the ground like this. In the forest. And looks around. It's always quiet here in this forest. It's such a world of silence. Even when it's raining from above. You can hide under a fir tree. And it'll be dry.

Sunny and bright spots. There are plenty of those here, too. The descent into shade can be gradual. Like walking along a path. Paths are everything between the trees. And gradually it gets darker or lighter. The snail knows this forest well. Sometimes by a fallen log. Where the moss grows. The snail sees other forest snails. This is their place. Where they meet. They drink tea. Lots of delicious things grow there. And there is shade. The forest snail walks along the forest paths like this. An explorer of the forest. And shows everything to its friends in the field and garden.

A grape snail is in a great place.

A grape snail crawls through the plants. Grass. Leaves. Earth. Dry branches. Anything will do. The snail moves. There's a delicious leaf growing up ahead. So said the beetle. The snail is almost there. Delicious green leaves. Delicious, juicy green. Perfect sunshine. But here in the grass, it's not as strong.

This is good for the grape snail. It can even be dark in the grass. You can sleep here. Or find a dark, cozy spot. And then go to where it's lighter. And move forward. Towards the juicy leaves. It's so delicious. And then there are sunny spots. The light falls beautifully from above. And passes through the grass. Right here. The sunniest spots are also here. Sunbeams live here.

It's a kind of greeting from the sun. Which lives up there. High up. And it smiles. It has many arms. It happens after the rain in the morning. More drops of water. Delicious cool water. A very pleasant bonus on the way to the leaves.

It was right here on this path that the snail met a beetle. They became good friends. And there's also a colorful beetle here. A ladybug. A beetle with a red back and black dots. A very cheerful beetle.

While crawling, you can enjoy fallen grapes or strawberries. There's a field of these plants just past here. Very tasty things. Incredibly tasty. And juicy. Other snails live there too. All sorts. They say that by the river even further from here. Snails live there too. All sorts of species.

The sun is shining. Rain in the morning. And lots of greenery. It's an incredibly beautiful place. And it's always nice here. Lots of friends. Strawberries come in both green and red. Lots of other things grow there too. Lettuce leaves. Flowers. Beetles are flying around above. Beetles that can fly. And bees. Some striped flies. These are some kind of bees.

A snail crawls here every day. It looks at the ground. It's fun to move along the ground. You might even meet an earthworm. It sometimes comes to the surface. Say hello from the mole. You can see the mole. It digs whole holes. It's smart.

A snail crawls here. And it enjoys every sunny day. It's always a beautiful day here. The most summery and the sunniest. A great place. With lots of friends and delicious food.

A carp in a murky pond

Today's 3D scene is about a carp. It's still a small fish. It's still learning. And it swims. In its pond. The pond is large and varied. The carp lives in murky water. There are some plants growing underneath, like sticks. The water here is yellow. And the carp itself is a similar color. No one sees it here. And there's no one else here except it.

This is its home. This is the entire pond. And the neighboring one. The water there is clear. Lake and river. Everything for the carp. So it can swim and grow. And it's already used to being here. Here you can bury yourself in the sand. Scratch your back and fin on the sand or dry branches. Those are probably algae. The carp keeps trying to guess what kind of packs these are.

The carp swims calmly and leisurely. The water here is murky. There's a lot of sand in it, and this is still water. And there's a lake there. And lots of clear light. And then there's the river. You can build houses in the sand. And there are plenty of them here. The carp have already built everything here.

The carp is a kind and good fish. It swims. And it likes to swim. It knows many friends of other fish. Other carp, for example. They can build sand castles together. This is especially easy to do in still water. And the houses and sand castles will remain just that, especially if you reinforce them with sticks.

When the sand gets boring, there's a river and a lake. The water there is different. Clean. And you can swim there as much as you like. There's plenty of space. But this is the carp's favorite place. The fish loves to hang out here and spends a lot of time.

The carp knows about other fish too. They come from the river. They include pike, perch, and others. There's even a crab here. But the other fish have never seen a crab. And the carp can swim to the surface. To the upper part of the water. But there's nothing interesting there.

It's a quiet and pleasant place. The carp's home. And he has many friends.

Squirrel – Branches and Wind

A squirrel is sitting in a tree. What a wonderful tree. It's so interesting to sit up there. There are so many fluffy branches. They're thick, and you can sleep or sit right there. You're sitting so high up. And there are so many tiers. Sometimes you don't know how high you are. Just look to the side. Sometimes you see how high you are. And sometimes you just jump to the ground and run on.

The squirrel loves fir trees. And jumping from branch to branch. There are so many levels in the forest. Everything for the squirrel. The squirrel sometimes sees nuts and pine cones here. It's all delicious. Birds come flying in. They're all great friends, too. You can talk to them about everything. They fly everywhere and know so much. Birds have a broad outlook. And the squirrel is a musician.

The branches are green. And there are lots of squirrel houses here. And the birds have houses too. So there's a whole city up there. Plenty of places to run and jump. And then you can come down to the ground. And run through the field and forest. And then climb the tree again. And look around. From the very top. And take in everything around. And get your bearings. Forests can be large and dense. Meadows can be large. But you climb a tree and see where you need to run.

In the field there's a good friend – a bunny. And a gray rabbit. But they live in the meadow. Where the meadow is. And here there's both the forest and the meadow. It's a slightly different place. These are the homes of the birds and the squirrel. So many worlds. Good and kind little animals live in them all. They're all doing something interesting.

The squirrel loves to jump and is good at it. You can jump along the tops of the fir trees too. And quickly get over all the obstacles that were on the surface. It's very convenient. Sometimes the squirrel surprises its friends. How quickly it appears. And all because it runs along the tops of the trees. For example. The mole is always surprised by how quickly the squirrel appears. The mole lives mostly underground.

The squirrel can rest on the branches. You can swing from them. A breeze can blow. It's a nice one from above. And sometimes there's a strong wind. And the branches sway, too. And you can even fall asleep. The branches are wide. And you can get carried away there in a very comfortable way. So, after sleeping, he woke up. He looked around. And then he went to his friend.

A Gray Rabbit in a Summer Land

A gray rabbit came to a clearing. He hadn't been here for a long time. He's here for the whole summer now. It's a wonderful meadow. Green. And the sun is shining brightly. Plenty of grass. You can wander wherever you want. The gray rabbit is here now. Beautiful grass. There's so much of it that it's impossible to count it. And there's no need to count it. There's so much of it here. The rabbit is sitting in the grass. He's settled comfortably. And now he's resting.

There's a wonderful sky here. Have a wonderful summer day. The gray rabbit will be here for the whole summer now. He's come to this land. An endless field. A huge meadow. And hills beyond that. Green hills you can run and jump on. The rabbit hasn't seen anyone here yet. But there must be someone else here. One of the good little animals. He knows it. Almost certainly.

The grass is wonderful. After the rain. The freshest. And now it's very warm and sunny. A wonderful summer day. In general, the rabbit could stay here forever if he wanted. But for now, he's thinking about staying here for the summer! And then he'll see some other interesting places. The rabbit saw the most beautiful autumn forest. It was still warm there. And beautiful leaves everywhere. But most of all, the rabbit likes to be here. In this meadow.

There are hills there. Lots of them. Big ones and small ones. Some are big, but with a slight slope. It's comfortable to run on them. And sometimes you can barely even notice how the hill rises upward. And from there, you can see more hills just like it. Beyond the hills, there's a small river. With refreshing water. And the rabbit hasn't looked beyond that yet. At first glance, from the hill, there's a large field. Just like this one. All the way to the horizon.

It rains here. Usually, at night, a light rain drizzles the entire field. And all the greenery. And in the morning, it's very fresh. Then comes the brightest, most summery day. The rabbit knows part of this place. But he doesn't know what lies beyond. This is truly summer land.

An artifact awakens zombies

Today's 3D scene is based on zombies. I'm mastering the game engine. And trying to learn how to make zombies. Here are my first attempts. The zombies turned out. The meat texture is used here. It's like a tip from the internet. Something like the game Doom. But in its own way.

And this is my 3D scene about zombies. A strange artifact turned something on. There was a strong glow for literally a minute. And it passed through the entire building. It's a huge complex. It passed through the walls. And then they appeared.

The architecture is dark. Pillars. And rooms. The room seemed empty. And now zombies have appeared. We need to unravel the secret of the artifact. As soon as possible. Why it awakened the dead. Cubic rooms. Everything is gray. In the shadows. Light coming from far away. And the living dead. The artifact awakened them.

Plains of Limits

Today's pixel art is based on the Super Nintendo video game Lagoon. An adventure from the early days of the console. Something like MS DOS. Adventure and role-playing. A whole world lies before us. Mountains. Plains. Sand. Grass. Water. Rivers. Streams. All of this to explore!

And this is my drawing based on Lagoon (MS DOS). You're making your way through the mountains. And here is a deserted land. A cool stream. The air in the mountains is cold. And few people come here. This is a wild land. You can encounter werewolves here at night. And packs of wild wolves during the day.

You've been walking for two days now. There should be a passage here. There should be a path further in the mountains. But you can't see it yet. Is another night in the mountains really ahead? Of course, for an adventurer, this is commonplace. But here it is. You're a hero. A level one hero. And it's quite dangerous here. You need to find that path quickly before it gets dark. And move through the rocky mountain range. And descend.

There you will see magical green fields. And a unicorn. After the rain. So you were told. But it's most likely a joke. You hold an important message in your hands. From a mage of the utmost limit. The messenger was killed. And he gave you this message. Dark knights are coming for you. On black horses. You know this. You've seen them before. But you hid. And today there will be nowhere to hide. Unless you find this passage. There are only stones here. And sand. Where is this passage?

Swamp World

Today's pixel art is based on the Super Nintendo video game Tales of Phantasia. A stunningly beautiful adventure. Into a fantasy world. Where, like forgotten kingdoms, ancient secrets are kept.

And this is my drawing based on Tales of Phantasia (SNES). Today I drew something I think is in the spirit of an action RPG. Or like the MSX2 game Knightmare. Or like these plains with monsters and treasures. Or how the screen moves forward like an arcade game. And you see monsters and treasures. And as you move from screen to screen, you see what the developers have in store for you next.

In the Swamp World. Monsters have appeared. They are skeletons. And swamp dwellers. Zombies. They have settled there. And you leave your village area. There, further on, is a swamp. And zombies. And skeletons. Collect chests and bags. They will give you useful game points and useful items. Which you'll later check in your inventory.

You'll see sorcerers who aren't as stupid as zombies and skeletons. And you'll be able to find magical amulets of the elements, which will help you cope with the invasion of the dark forces.

In the Sorcerer's Valley

Today's 3D scene is based on the 3D landscapes from Might and Magic 6. I remember spending so much time in that RPG. I absolutely loved those low-poly landscapes and sprite trees. I spent hours in dungeons there. Today I learned a bit about Blender. And I'm even pleased with myself. It turned out pretty well.

And this is my 3D scene based on Might and Magic VI (PC Windows 95). In the Sorcerer's Valley. There's a light gray fog all the time. It's quite humid. And lots of trees. And flowers. It's like a fairytale island. Flowers, grass, logs. Trees and fir trees. Some trees are leafless. A sign that all is not well. Monsters live here. Undead. Summoned here by the sorcerer.

You set foot on this island for the first time. And you have no other information. The ferryman sails away. He wishes you luck. And you have the whole island to explore. You can walk around it with a point-and-click perspective. Like in the Might and Magic games. And explore everything around. It's a forest. Swampy. And a little damp here. There are flowers.

There's a mountain in the distance. Apparently that's the center of the island. And you can't go there. You need to explore the plains. And find the sorcerer's secret. To defeat him. It's worth starting with simple monsters. Enchanted pirates, skeletons, and zombies. Bats and large frogs. That way, you'll level up, gain experience. And you'll understand how everything is laid out. And where to go next.

What a strange fog there is here. It definitely has magical properties. And the trees here are different. You're seeing some things for the first time. This island is unusual in itself. The sorcerer chose it for a reason. You have to unravel the island's mystery.
