Ok, so, i got to the florest and all but i dont know what to do next. I Even came back to the start and got new desires (actually i can get a lot now, dont know if its a bug or i just can get that much) but that it, i walked a lot in the map but nothing came to me as waht to do next.
(Also, i'm really sorry for my english, not my first language)
For the desires, that's not a bug, you are able to get all the desires from the gate as long as you have enough exp points!
Now to the forest.
Assuming that you are stuck at the very beginning of the forest, I've marked all the available paths here on the map red: 
The first way you would want to go is right, when you reach the new map go right again until you find a small hut in a tree.
Climb the ladder and talk to the old Lady there. Leave the hut und climb down again. Now interact with the Axe near the hut and once you have it, go back to the map I've showed you. Now you want to go north.
If you get stuck again, tell me!
Have you created an old save file in an earlier version of the game? And do you still have that version somewhere? If you did, it has to have a "save" folder in its "www" folder.
Without that folder, you unfortunately won't be able to transfer that save file into the new update. However, the newest update also had a problem with a new plug in, which forces the player to start over the game either way, so I'm not sure if you would be able to even implement that save file now anymore.
