Updates For Autumn 2014
Just in case you hadn't taken notice of the rampant falling leaves, pumpkins, and chilly air galore--It's autumn, y'all! So what's been happening around FeralHeart since our last news update?
Board & Site Changes
Alas, we can say that the forum "spring" cleaning is complete! It had actually been finished this past summer, and so we've been sitting on a more tidied-up forum for a few months, now, but we figured it would be nice to go ahead and let you guys know that the job's done. Thanks to all who helped sniff out any threads that needed deletion (both staffers and members), and do know that you're still free to PM any "Please delete!" threads to staff so we can maintain our forum's cleanliness. Thanks again!
As some of you may have noticed, we've changed up some of the ranking stars and colors for a few things around the forum. In order to better match the color scheme of our forum, staff member accounts have been changed to differing shades of reds, oranges, and golds, in place of the blues you'd normally see on our moderators' names on the forum. Member of the Season winners now have a pretty new set of stars that stand out strikingly against the forum background, and the "new" notification for threads has been changed from blue to red. Spotted 'em yet?

Spooks everywhere!
Well, actually, no, those are just some of our members wearing their gnarly garb and purrfectly themed presets for our annual FeralHeart Halloween Party on October 25th! That's next Saturday at 5pm EST. You can find the party's info thread here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=48369.msg658989#msg658989), and closer to the date of the party, we'll be posting the map download (courtesy of Lord Suragaha for our party map!), as well as a bulk preset download for those who wanted to show off their presets at the party. Check out the info link above to find out how to submit your preset, and we look forward to seeing you all there!
Music, spookified ferals, epic maps... How much better can it get?!
That said, we've already made our way into... (Drum roll, anyone?)

Right into the FeralHeart Halloween Preset Contest!
We've merged the Autumn contest and our Halloween Contest into one big event that coincides with our Halloween Party (keep reading to learn more!). This one's a Free-For-All Theme, meaning that you can make the theme your very own! The variety in this one already looks like it's going to be great, and we can't wait to see all of the completed entries. Whether you're an old pro at preset making, or fresh-faced and new to the event, everyone is welcome to show their stuff in our preset contests.
Wanna get in on the action? Check out our Halloween Preset Contest Info Thread (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=48092.msg655577#msg655577) to learn more! Submissions end on October 24th.

Just as well, a late congrats to our Summertime Preset Contest Winners!
Every single entry in the summer contest was wonderful, and we can speak for all of the judges when we say that you guys made it difficult to pick winners! But in the end, these three lovelies bounded their way to the top in our "Fun in the Sun"-themed summertime preset contest, and have made their way into our Preset Contest Hall of Fame. Be sure to check 'em out here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=43628.msg604010#msg604010)!
We'd also like to thank everyone who came to our third FeralHeart Official Roleplay Day on September 6th! It really was a pleasure to see so many of you guys eager to get out there roleplay your hearts out with your fellow ferals, and so we're hoping to see this roleplay-friendly event return again sometime in the future (no word on when it will be, but we'll let you know once we do!).
As for our Members of the Season, we have two sets to congratulate since our last update! Firstly, we have a late congratulations to our Summertime Members of the Season, Vask, Ingredient, and KikioryLandia, and we just recently named our newest Autumn Members of the Season as AlphaEclipse, xRuby1234x, and JimMoriarty. We're really blessed to have you guys in our community, and each and every one of you have wonderful attitudes that help make FH a better place for everyone. Congrats to all who were nominated throughout this time, as well, and we hope to continue to see your lovely pixels around here with us! Stay wonderful, and until the next MOTS nominations, enjoy the rest of the season with your new titles (and shiny green stars)!
Side Note
We also had one of our beloved global moderators, Ringo, step down from the staff team this past July due to life just being busy! This is perfectly understandable, of course, and we were blessed to have had Ringo with us as one of our oldest staff members. She did such wonderful work during her time on the team, and we look forward to still seeing her around FH whenever she can pop online to share a snuggle or two. Stay awesome, Ringo!
In other news, we recently completed the Feral-Heart-Art Background Contest on our DeviantART page! (http://feral-heart-art.deviantart.com/) We now have a lovely new fall-themed set of widgets for our main page, as well as art featured by the contest finalists. Be sure to check 'em out!
Hey, Tumblr users! Seen any art, map makers, preset makers, or any FH-themed artists you'd like to give a shout-out to? We'd love for you guys to send in your submissions to our Official FeralHeart Tumblr page! (http://feralheart-official.tumblr.com/) We love answering questions, but we'd really like to spruce things up with some submissions and spotlights on our wonderful artists in the community, too. Blog-perfect, right? Be sure to include credits (and even helpful links) to the artists when you submit!
Thanks for reading, and 'til next time~

A nice little update! Looking forward to all the events and such!

Yey, updates! Thanks for the lovely update, White! I like the new colors c:

Very nice update! I love the new colors for the stars and whatnot- they go along with the rest of the forum's colors nicely. Glad the spring cleaning went smoothly, also!
Happy autumn! <3
-
'Aye, bin' waitin' for the update.
Congrats to all ye' who won the MoTS.
Thank ye' for the update, Ms. Allegra. C:
-
I honestly like the new colours better than the old. They've been incorporated just in time too to match the Halloween spirit flyin' 'round. To this day still, I anticipate the arrival of the Halloween party 'n the Halloween Preset Contest alongside it. A lovely update this is madam. Thank ye' for postin' it.
-
I love the new color scheme thing going on with the MOD titles 'n such; Seems more fitting not only to Halloween, but for the entire forum itself since it's all gold and red. Also, congratulations to the MoTS and thanks for the update! ^_^
-
Thank you for the updates!?
Really liking the new colours. Sad to see Ringoluv go! o;
-
The new member stars look gorgeous. Thanks for the update White!
-
Lovely update, thank you very much dearie ^^
-
All brilliant things to hear, and so much to comment on!
Obviously first all has to be the lovely new Mod's colours and stars, as many others have said, they fit perfectly into the forum in general, and yet have been introduced just in time for the spookiest time of year. It really does give an autumn feel x3
Also congratulations to the MoTs! We're all so lucky to have such amazing members of the community! ;3
And another congratulations to the summer preset winners, just because it was mentioned up there ~ such talent guys.
Think that's all, as there's no point in putting down how psyched I am for the party x3 thanks for keeping us informed guys! ~<3
-
gaah, i'm disappointed
we're having a halloween party and i won't be able to make it this year! sucks, but last year i didn't really hang out with anyone/have any friends to hang out with (like all parties, ha) and i guess i won't miss it much
-
Thanks for the update, Allegra!
And the revamp of the stars looks wonderful, if I do say so myself :3
-
Awesome update White!!
I see I have missed out on so much with my busy life.. Argh XD What can I do.
But it's great to see some fresh changes have been made around here and there. At least I'll be home during the Halloween party, so I'll definitely make sure to pop in. 'specially cause the map is made by Sura ^^
-
I think I enjoy this new update darlings. ^^
-
Oh I love the new updates! Sad to see Ringo go though, but life is more important after all. Hope life goes well for her c:
-
Yesss! I love the new colours :3 And the deviantArt page, it really looks like fall now, sometimes I wish you could change that green menu/interface to the colour combination of your choice.
-
Looking good!
-
Didn't even notice the shoutout to me--thanks guys! I am sad to see myself go too but will still be hanging around <3
/Super late with starbucks
-
Awesome update ya'll! You deserve a rest because you've been working hard!

Eye popping, but that's good, I guess. x3

Why did you change the new button from blue to red, blues a better color. ;;
Heh, nice update. ;u;

KovuLKD left without saying anything, so I'm not sure anyone will be able to answer that. He kept the source code, so any major updates are not doable at this moment. He may pick up the project once more, but for now, he's not made it clear whether he's working on it or not, and if he is, he hasn't given an update to anyone.
-
These are lovely updates~
-
Thank you for the update, White. We all appreciate it.
Halloween is nearing, and we indeed are all looking forward to games and events! Colors are wonderful, as well.
-
I think the updates are great!

Since the game creator (KovuLKD) left FH 3 years ago, we haven't had access to the game's source code. This code is what allows us to add new features to the game, and otherwise properly update the game.
That said, we don't expect to be adding any new features (nor adding Movie Maker) anytime soon. We apologize, dearie.
