Until now!

With great excitement we present you with the FeralHeart patch 1.17! This isn’t the only big news though... Thanks to the assistance of an old community contact who wishes to remain anonymous, we have attained the source code. You read that right! For those who may be unaware or just joining the fun now, the game’s code hasn’t been modified since 2011. In the years since, the FeralHeart community has remained loyal, hopeful, and strong throughout the ups and downs, and so it is with great joy that we can finally reveal this great news with you all. As we take this next step forward in Feral Heart’s development we staff want to take a moment to thank all of those who faithfully stuck through with Feral Heart through out the years.


We want you to know that we'll be continuously updating and building Feral Heart not just for you but with you. Please let us know if you have any feedback and report bugs as you see them! Bug reports can be submitted HERE (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=66578.0)



Now with all this said let’s get down to the details!

(https://i.imgur.com/s3msbIt.png)A New Character Joins the FH Staff Roster:

I’m very pleased to announce that xSpirit (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=238516) has joined us as a programmer on Feral Heart. They’re a passionate and skilled coder and it’s been an immense pleasure working with them since they came aboard on the project. xSpirit is very determined to improve the game to better enhance the fun of the experience for everyone. Feral Heart is lucky to have them. Be sure to give them a nice warm welcome and plenty floofs for all their tireless efforts. If it wasn’t for all their hard work we wouldn’t have this lovely update to share with you all!

Can’t wait for what the future brings on FH  <3

Just keep in mind that while Raz tries to set things up things might be a bit buggy but they’re working on getting it up right.

sadly this edit has truly destroyed the game within this new update, Tails look weird, Lengths and all make you look odd and above all when editing an existing character that had its colors messed up or even attempting to make a new one, when finishing its design colors up mostly on the body and tail markings when you click ok the markings change themself and will not go and stay on the color you selected
Like for a body on one of mine i put a rusty blue color and for its tail i put neon blue, when clicking ok they both shoved themself onto a set rusty blue color and for the life of me i CANNOT get it to change.
Not to mention the mini map has been changed to the other side of the screen which is bugging me as now my chat covers it and i can't view where my friends are
im very upset with this update already
I am however happy to hear the code has been handed over to make feralheart better in the future with hope

Though maybe could have tested it more before actually launching it?
Just an opinion

I have little room to speak on this, but this is an incredibly degrading comment. It is obvious it will be rough for a while in order to adjust all characters to their original defaults and there will be bugs that will need to be squashed. Just give it a lil bit of time, I am positive things will get better.

A big thank you to xSpirit for helping make such a change possible! Of course things are a little buggy but it's wonderful to see such a code update welcomed into FeralHeart, and thank you to those who stayed about in the community to see this happen. Really hope you guys enjoy what updates have come along, and definitely let us know what may need to be edited to work nicer!

Hang tight with us while the bugs and problems are being sorted! This is the first time in a longgg time that the source has been updated so even with some extensive testing before hand, some unexpected issues are bound to pop up. Thank you all for your patience and understanding! We're working hard to get things sorted!

Much love to xSpirit for his diligence and hard work!

I barely know what to say, this is incredible!! I never imagined we would ever get the source code, this is almost surreal news and I’m so incredibly happy. The future that FH now has open to it is exciting and hopeful!

Unfortunately I have no computer at the moment so I can’t join you all in the real celebration of a new and improved FH but I hope this brings people back into the game and breathes life into it once more, we’ve been fighting to keep this game alive for so long I think this community deserves to see it flourish again.

Thank you staff, and welcome xSpirit, this obviously means so much to the community.

Please, someone help me.. I uninstalled the former FH folders to make space for this patch... I download it, everything's great, but when I click on the logo, it removes itself.. Can somebody help me please? I'm doing it the third time now, the logo disappears, the game doesn't even show up.

Do you have Avast Antivirus (or any antivirus in that case)? I'm having the same issue.
Try to go to your antivirus and find the quarantine/virus chest and then restore and add an exception to the file. For Avast that's not working apparently, but I'm trying to figure it out rn. I just sent it for analysis in hopes that it will be fixed. If you have Avast you should probably do that as well.
Make sure you create a help thread next time, for future reference.

It's nice but, did you think of ALL the animations people made? We can't use them anymore. Also the fact that we MUST download the latest update to continue to play isn't cool. I didn't want to download it now bc i wanted to use again all the animations i had. And now i can't even play anymore because i have to download it.
I'm not a hater or anything, but you guys made bad choices here; even if the concept is cool and impressive. (and i asked many players before saying this)

The new version has many bugs. It's impossible for us to change the colors of the markings and saving the character. It's not working, staying at the 127 - color choice.
The basic animation of the game starts to be really boring, so the fact that we can't use other anims is a bad point.
Some logo bugs happen too. My friends tested the update, and the only thing working is the tail size. It would have been nice if you checked the bugs before putting the update online. Because all we have at the moment is a buggy version of the game, which lost many great points.

There are currently a lot of bugs with this patch, yes. However staff are working hard to fix all of them as they come. Implementing a huge update and improvement like this is going to cause issues, but don't fret. In time they will get everything sorted out and working once again.

"Resizing parts on yourself (Character making)", This was an idea I have gotten in my head for days, and I also think it would've be cool if you could do my idea!
I even have A list of body parts you could resize! :
1. Able to make (bat and angel) wings longer/bigger or smaller.
2. Able to make items you have, bigger or smaller.
3. Able to make your tail longer/bigger or smaller.
My third wish came true, holy mother of golden lasagnas.

 Thank you SO much for bringing this to the game, I'm sure anyone and everyone can say the same and I am soo glad to see that things will be changing and more is to come. Seeing this definitely brought back some muse and makes me wanna stick around much more and get fully active again. Can't wait to see how these things work out. Great job.

Lowkey wondering where you got the source from. It's a little sketch and if you have Kovu's permission to edit the game.  Even though he's been gone for years it feels a bit sketchy like theft. I'm sure he's had the game copyrighted in his name.

Don't get me wrong I'm thankful and appreciate the hard work you guys put into this. I dunno I just get mixed feelings I guess.

After I installed the 1.17, my game keeps crashing.

Have you downloaded any modifications into the game such as animation packs, preset sync, etc? If so, delete them. I've heard that they're not functioning properly with this version. In addition, replacing mask files (not the shades) for fur textures could also be the culprit as it caused my game to crash too.

I LOVE the update! But, since the new update theres a little bug while creating characters.
Whenever I try to change the body/tail markings colour to another and then save it it randomly switches to another colour all the time(For example from a cream colour to grey).
Its no matter if I create a new char or not, it always wont save the colours as Ive chosen them. Not only I have this issue :(
Pls fix that bug soon :(
Im looking forwards for new stuff and will always love FH!

Since you guys have it now, will you be looking into optimizing overall gameplay, game functionality, and resource utilization? I know some folks might love being able to play without worrying about latency and crashes!

Question...in Impressive Title games, there are different models like bears and horses and stuff. I have no clue how coding works, but I am just wondering if we will be getting more animal models in the future. If not, that's fine, I just wanted to know if it was possible now.

It's nice but, did you think of ALL the animations people made? We can't use them anymore. Also the fact that we MUST download the latest update to continue to play isn't cool. I didn't want to download it now bc i wanted to use again all the animations i had.

If, what you have said is true.  It might be nice if someone was to leak the files required to make animations so that customization for animations could continue.

I am currently working on fanart of this update, actually. It's about the tail sizing feature because that's a feature I've been waiting for since 2014 ._.

This is awesome! However I'm currently unable to play on Mac with this new update (using playonmac), is that going to be fixed soon?

I also really hope that with this comes the potential that the old maps might return, I think that could possibly be the best thing you could do for the game at this point and I know so many are asking and hoping for it..

this is probably one of the most exciting updates i've heard for any game like this in a while! this update and the idea of future updates is definitely going to revive me in this community. just reading "we have attained the source code" put me in a rush and THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. for adding even more customization, the lack of color and tail size variation has been bothering me quite a bit (especially when trying to find something "exactly realistic" for certain characters)

i can't wait to see the dynamics of future updates, i'm so glad i saw this in my dA notifications, and good luck with adding more features!!!



***EDIT*** : agh.. i just realized i have to reinstall the entire game. still excited though. after going back through the replies on this, would things like mass markings still work if other modifications don't? currently all i really have is mass markings and preset sync

I've been waiting to hear something like this for a long time! I was on earlier today making some changes to my character after I read about the new character customization. Sure there were a few bugs, but some have been taken care of, and I'm sure others will be taken care of soon.
I can't wait to see future updates with more added features to the game. Maybe there will be new species models in the future?

i for one am absolutely LOVING this update! especially the tail scaling. i can finally get my canines to a respectable tail size, haha. i'm unbelievably excited for what the future may hold now that we've got our paws on the source code -- i'll probably be making an ideas thread sometime soon too. oh, and pretty sure kov's good with this. if i'm not mistaken, he gave the feralheart redone project over on tumblr his blessing? (i know that's a bit of a controversial topic.) don't quote me on that though. either way, i'm practically quaking with excitement for all the new possibilities!

This is very exciting, all the bugs aside this is very good news to have the source code and I think this will bring much more excitement to the game! I can't wait for the bugs to be fixed and to test out all the new features myself! Keep up the amazing work Staff~ You're all doing amazing!

the people behind feralheart redone had to cease development. this was a few years ago though.

oh wow my dream came true! :D This is wonderful news! The future is finally looking brighter for FeralHeart.
I give my warmest welcome to xSpirit, and a big THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication,
I can't wait to see what you do next. Also another big THANK YOU to all the floofs who stuck with FeralHeart through
the years and up to this point, for having faith in the staff team and appreciating their hard work as well.
You guys are all truley amazing!

I haven't tested the new update yet as I too am concerned with the little bugs,
But as my best friend says "Keep your head up" and hang in there, things will get better.
I am very excited for FeralHeart's future!

Logged on and the first thing I did was drag that tail slider all the way up lol My markings worked fine, tested all the animations with the fat tail, some of my body sliders seemed a little off but I fixed them. I love the new update, all the little details matter and I can't wait to see what is next!

Eugh. Started up the game only to find all my characters markings had been turned black. Some of those colors took forever for me to get just right. :/// It's not like I write down the color codes for every character in my game. I'm really upset, as some of these characters took hours to make, and most mean a lot to me. Will this be fixed? Or will my characters just remain like this forever? I'm pretty dang upset with this, I hope it can be fixed.

For me, most characters i have whose markings have been turned black still have that marking color but only on one part of the body and i'm *pretty sure* that it's only the head marking, even if your character doesn't use a head marking at all. since the markings have been introduced to new and separate colors, i think that it turning black is just a default. check each and every single separate marking color for your characters until you find out which one has the colors (again, check the head marking first because that seems to be the main one) and write down the rgb code you find, then rewrite them on the other separate markings. all i really know, just a temporary fix. they shouldn't be lost forever!

Your characters' head markings should have remained the same color. Simply take their color codes and plop them into the body and tail markings slots!

This was something that was predicted and wasn't anything we could prevent unfortunately

Want to add my personal congratulations and thanks for the staff for making this happen. Personally I’m looking forward to all of the extra emotes I could give my characters in movies. I echo that I wish the staff wasn’t getting such a hard time about the bugs. These are inevitable with updates and honestly we should all be more excited about what this means for the future of this game. It was getting a bit stale and hopefully having the source code will allow this game to continue to evolve in the future. Also, LOVE that the resolution has been updated!

Couldn't you have wrote a script to duplicate the old marking colour to the new markings in the character files? Assuming the character files work similarly to IT servers. Great news and work though, keep it up!

the same thing has actually been happening to me? but it's only when i have a certain mod pack on (it was podiums, menu modifications, sound modifications, etc) and it stopped when i replaced them back with the original files
if you have any of those on, most LIKELY podiums, i'd recommend reversing them until the crashing has been fixed :o
guessing that this isn't just my mistake, i might go report this to the bugs thread in a minute-

The update is wonderful imo, and just about everything works properly for me! Only problem is that my presets don't seem to show up for me anymore. Like in character creation, none of the presets I've switched over (even the ones there by default) show up for me to add. Is this happening to anyone else? I can't figure out how to fix it.

EDIT: Nevermind! I'm silly and it's been awhile since I played, sorry lol.

Aside from that, this is great for the community. Maybe the game will become more active as more updates are rolled out...? One can only hope.

edit: im as excited as anyone else that the game is going to be seeing these changes as it desperately needs them but maybe it was just poor choices of words on the staffs part? they're being extremely anonymous about how they got the source code especially after how when kovu abandoned the game, he himself said that he wasnt going to give it out to the staff- he gave up on the game, didn't he? i dunno, maybe its the 6 year hiatus i took.

I am sure that this is 100 percent legal, as KovuLKDs had a similar project by the name of Impressive Title
which has its source code altered into new games. FeralHeart has been out for years without any contact, and it has been left abandoned by him. If Kovu were to express any concerns regarding copyright, he would have done it before leaving or any time beforehand. The staff would not
be using the source code if there where legality issues.
 And too clarify, it wasn't the staff who choose to keep the person anon. It was the person them self.

Future reference, I would try posting your issues in the help boards so it'll be easier to see by other helpful floofs!
As for your issue, make sure you started off on a fresh slate. Nothing kept from the old patch.
Another thing you can try, is making an entirely new FH folder and putting everything there instead. ( That includes, making a new fresh shortcut as well if that's also giving you problems ).
If you're still having issues, once again, I recommend posting in the help boards! Best of luck.

Yeah it's legal, the code has been used for other games as well. One known as Wolf Soul, used the source code. It no longer exists anymore for a separate reason, but the Impressive Title source code has been used by other places and a bunch of servers were created from it. However, I don't know if the source code for Feral Heart specifically has been altered in any way, but considering Raz is in control of this site and game, he pretty much could use the Source Code all he wanted unless he signed some type of contract that said otherwise, or it was specifically trademarked, which it was not. Though, we don't know for how long Raz actually had the source code either, he did admit that he had it for at least a few years and just didn't let anyone know about it.

Hello! I suggest taking a look at this thread here (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=66604.0) if you're having trouble with your animations.

Older animations that were made before the 1.17 update will not work and will need to be updated.

Hello this is Spiritual,
                                      I have had issues after downloading the update and I have some questions on how to fix it. I started playing FH a couple of months ago and I had downloaded textures and items to add on to the folder. However, when I updated FH to the 1.17 patch, I would add the textures and items to the folder but when I open the game a tab would pop up and say "feral-heart.exe has stopped working". If you have any method on how to fix this please contact me back asap if possible. I really love this game, I've waited for it to open for 4 years already and I want to keep playing.

Hey Spiritual! After putting those textures and items into the correct folder, did you make sure you replaced the cfg. file as well? Please PM me with your reply ^-^

Until now!

With great excitement we present you with the FeralHeart patch 1.17! This isn’t the only big news though... Thanks to the assistance of an old community contact who wishes to remain anonymous, we have attained the source code. You read that right! For those who may be unaware or just joining the fun now, the game’s code hasn’t been modified since 2011. In the years since, the FeralHeart community has remained loyal, hopeful, and strong throughout the ups and downs, and so it is with great joy that we can finally reveal this great news with you all. As we take this next step forward in Feral Heart’s development we staff want to take a moment to thank all of those who faithfully stuck through with Feral Heart through out the years.


We want you to know that we'll be continuously updating and building Feral Heart not just for you but with you. Please let us know if you have any feedback and report bugs as you see them! Bug reports can be submitted HERE (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=66578.0)



Now with all this said let’s get down to the details!

(https://i.imgur.com/s3msbIt.png)A New Character Joins the FH Staff Roster:

I’m very pleased to announce that xSpirit (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=238516) has joined us as a programmer on Feral Heart. They’re a passionate and skilled coder and it’s been an immense pleasure working with them since they came aboard on the project. xSpirit is very determined to improve the game to better enhance the fun of the experience for everyone. Feral Heart is lucky to have them. Be sure to give them a nice warm welcome and plenty floofs for all their tireless efforts. If it wasn’t for all their hard work we wouldn’t have this lovely update to share with you all!

(https://i.imgur.com/s3msbIt.png)xSpirit’s Change Log for Patch 1.17 (With Rain Comes Rainbows):

  • Tail size slider option added: The ability was always there to modify your characters' size, but there remained one body part which was awfully lacking in size variation... The tail! From now on you can set the size of each character's tail making them more customizable. Small tail, or big tail, it's your choice!
    (https://i.imgur.com/lmeh8bB.gif)

  • Individual color selection option for markings, manes, & tufts added: Markings, manes, and tufts now have their own separate independent color selectors. Head, body, and tail markings no longer are confined to one color choice and manes can be an entirely separate color from tufts. Sparkle dogs & cats alike can now level up their colorfulness...

  • New Custom Emote slider added: Character expressions can now be even more personalized. With the emote slider you have the option to combine and contort your character’s face to all new fun expressions.

  • Pointer toggle option added: You can disable the pointer from within the settings menu. Clicking on the ground to move your character is now optional. No more characters getting the zoomies while tabbed! (To close the tracker you simply have to click on the player again.)
  • Feline tailless option fixed: Made the feline "Tailless" really tailless.
  • New default resolution & slight changes to resolution options: The default resolution has been changed to 1024 x 768 instead of 800 x 600 because c'mon we live in the age of big screens, we can have a bigger FH :)
  • Umibozu removed?

    (https://i.imgur.com/s3msbIt.png)Road Map for the Foreseeable Future?:

    We want you to know that this is just the beginning because there are a lot of bigger things on the way! In fact there are some “breadcrumbs" of a new upcoming unfinished WIP feature already in the game. Can you find them? (Tip: Join a party!) ;)

    Lastly as excited as we all are for this upcoming progress just remember to be patient and mindful that all good things come in due time. The span between patches will vary greatly as these things are dependent on multiple variables such as our programmers’ availability, abilities, resources, time, etc. In an ideal world we’d love to roll out exciting new patches frequently but we must be practical and accept that this can’t always be done. Keep in mind that some patches will focus more on improving game stability and function and or tackling bugs etc. Thank you for your understanding <3

You will not lose your characters but you will need to back up your maps, items and other modifications to reinstall them back into the updated game ^^

hi! what a lovely concept and update!
the only thing im having issues with right now is trying to use custom, or different canine animations.
does this update not allow animations anymore? or is it just a bug?
I'd like to see this get fixed!

regards~

I have this same issue and I think it's just another bug that needs fixing.
It's not a bug. The custom skeletons just need the TailScale animation added to them. Check out >> this thread << (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=66604.0)

In my post on that thread I have already fixed a bunch of animations and collected fixed animations by other users for the new patch already so go ahead and check out those download links ^^

hi, what's the character update thing in the user panel? It says something like "1.17 update click only once" what does that do? Also is there a way to keep the old mouse settings? I know you mentioned there won't be any zooming while in tab mode but I used the zooming while in tab mode during videos and it was helpful

The character option in the User Panel is to fix issues people had with their characters being stretched incorrectly after the update. You click that option and your characters return to the way they were before the update.

Also as for the mouse options, click >>this link<< (https://youtu.be/nMvgHXMLZtw?t=379)  to the YouTube video. I timestamped it to the point where I talk about how to toggle the mouse pointer on and off.

Any animations need to be converted for patch 1.17 and there is already a masterlist for anyone to download.

Hey, hon!

There isn't a mac release for the update just yet, but it's being worked on!
In the meantime, people find that they can download the Windows version of the update and use PlayOnMac to play FH!

Hello!
I have a problem with the new patch and idk how to fix it.
So I downloaded the patch, installed it but... It's not working. When I'm trying to log in to the game, it tells me to download the patch.
So I did it once again but it still isn't working.
Help?

I have a MacBook AIR and I downloaded the game but whenever i try to login it says that it's still in patch 1.16 and i can't seem to find the place to download the game for mac in patch 1.17?

Maybe I should wait a little bit more until it's updated?

hey ! this is officially my first time ever engaging with the fh forums. i've ran into this game years ago. fell in love with it, followed it every day as i grew. i was thrilled to have found a community that i fit in almost perfectly! but like i said as i grew, so did my ambitions and interests. i end up deleting my old feral heart account, out of the sake of "i probably won't be coming back to play this game ever again".  and so three years or so passed, i see the game is still up and running, but now there's been an update. i get struck with this immense nostalgia and DANG, i ended up creating three accounts since i saw the opportunity when the registration was open. i quite loterally had my jaw ajar after seeing the game has been completely redesigned. a bit sad seeing that the original soundtrack is no lomger there (the one which i nowhave on my phone and listen to every day religiously). my obsession with the game started once again, but ot was nowhere near the old days. the number of players was slashed down significantly, and there was a lack of that mutual interest and aura between people that somewhat irked me. i eventually lose the ability to go online, hence the extreme "gaming hiatus". i sort of forgot about this game, but at the same time not. i'd always find myself reminiscing on the past days where i couldn't bare the lag of bonfire island. and today, seeing there are a mere 65 players online just made my heart wrench. to see a four digit number drop to two really devastated me. so i know for a fact that i will stay by this game's side till the very end, even if i'm not able yo log on and enjoy it. i sure as hell promise to do so once i am able to, though. i thank you for all the times you have spent with me, and all the memories created, as i am eternally grateful for being a part of such a humble community. i'd be lying if i said i wasn't blinking away my tesrs right now. you do not have to read this, or give any notice to it, but these are my sincere words that i had to serve out. sorry for the messy writing, too. sincerely, former flamespark :]

There is not an official version for Mac yet, however if you download the released Windows version of 1.17 and run it through PlayonMac, you can possibly run it that way.
