Warrior Cats: Hickory Isles
★ Hickory Isles Wiki (work in progress; contribution is appreciated)
★ Discord Server
Welcome to Hickory Isles, an adventure role-playing game inspired by the Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter.
After a young ThunderClan cat purportedly received a message from StarClan to create a new Clan, cats from all over the forest territories band together to cross the small strip of water at the Sundrown Place and make a home on the island known as Hickory Isles. You are one of the founders of this new Clan. Will CedarClan find peace in their new home?
THIS IS A DEMO! The first two days of story are complete. The storyline after that, kits, the twolegplace, and side quests are not yet complete.
There are mobile controls, but this game will not load on many mobile devices due to its size.
FAQ:
Q: Can you have a mate/what are the mate options?
A: Sort of, yes! Mates and kits will be fully implemented in part 2, but right now you can "date" one of seven characters: Westfire, Dawnwhisker, Flintsong, Wavefront, Quailtuft, Hawkfeather, and Stormfall. You can let a character know you like them by giving them a rose (not to be confused with a tulip). Roses can be found at the tops of some mountains. Some characters might need to be given multiple to get the hint.
Q: Where is Part 2 of the story/what point in development is the game?
A: Part 2 is currently in development! It's a (mostly) one man team working on this, so it's bound to take some time. There's no release date yet, but more updates will be given as progress is made.

p2...im excited..
Is there any more specific information yet about the release date for Part 2? Because it's basically summer already (at least where I am).
I think it’s in Alpha Testing if that means anything. Not really a date but still a bit of information.
Like ProbablyPinecone said, it’s currently in Alpha Testing and available to be tested by active members of my Discord server. I’m currently working on a bunch of story and quest content. After that, I need to write a handful of music tracks, and God willing, it’ll be ready for release!
Your games are da best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
Awesome game!
But seriously, who has the time to down vote every single comment 😭. That can’t be a very fulfilling life purpose.
and the thing is they're here like... daily so they must really hate the game to the point where they feel the need to downvote EVERYONE that comments and replies
They've downvoted everyone's, and by the time you see this, it'll probably be downvoted too... :(
can there be yuri?
(happy pride month)
There already is, but all the characters have different orientations. (Westfire is lesbian)
oh ok
Omg tytytyty for makeing this game, i swear its my #1 favorite game, the art is soooo good, i cant wait for it to be complete, i love it soooo much!
Thank you! ❤️
Hello! After playing through the game, I just had to comment on how amazing it is! I also saw a rogue with a pelt pattern I liked, so I was also wondering if i could loosely base a character of my own after it! Thanks!
Thank you, and sure, feel free! The rogue designs are my own, but feel free to take inspiration from them :3
I love this game!! It is AMAZING and I can't wait for the second part! However, I do have to say something in this game is confusing me. I tried to give Flintsong a rose, but no matter how many hearts I got her she kept rejecting me. I tried the same with Wavefront, but it didn't work. I'm a bit confused about this, and I'm wondering if you need to be a certain gender or clan something to get them to like you. Anyway, overall, I love this game, and keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Flintsong and Wavefront only date toms, which is probably why they rejected your rose. Either that or you didn't have a high enough relationship (25 hearts or more). Flintsong, Dawnwhisker, and Wavefront will date toms, and Westfire, Stormfall, and Hawkfeather will date she-cats
Thanks for clearing it up! I really appreciate it.
I'd like to ask something. My cat is a she-cat and my bond is 27 hearts with Westfire but they don't seem to date me despite me giving them a rose. Am I missing something?
Maybe try giving a couple more roses?
Welp sorry I noticed that you are supposed to give 3 roses
Can you catch birds? If not could you make a bird catching mini game, like the one for the fish, please? Does anybody have a list of the character's favorite things to be gifted? If not, I'll make one. Is there a list of what herbs there are and where to find them?
Yes, just click them! And yes, the wiki has a gift guide. https://hickoryisles.fandom.com/wiki/Gift_Guide
THX
HELP I ATE CATNIP AND BECAME HIGH-
As you should be
SAME-
Will Honeyclaw ever be romanceable I need to romance her so badly
not to keep botherin ya but will we meet stray cats and like be friends with them just wondering! :3
There will be a town with stray cats and housecats in part 2!
Apparently, in the second part it will be possible to give the heroes mice poisoned with death berries, so I have a question: if we give such a mouse to Tansyblade, will she die and Cedarstar choose a new deputy?
Yes!
Great! And what is the probability that she will choose me as his new deputy? And can something similar be done with Echoflight?
The deputy choice order goes: Tansyblade, Hawkfeather, Westfire, and then you. If Tansyblade, Hawkfeather, and Westfire are dead or not in CedarClan anymore, you become deputy. And no, unfortunately there probably won't be a way to become medicine cat
Damn. While Tansyblade irritates me, I really like WestFire and Hawkeather.
WOOOOOWWWWWIEEEE
I mean since Tansyblade can die becase of the coyote attack, and Cedarstar doesn't choose a new deputy... Probably not.
Hi the game is very fun and the story is interesting. All the cats have alredy wormed their way into my heart. My favorit is Stormfall. I also wanted to ask if there is any way to progress past day 3. I have given all the gifts I could to everyone and I would like to bring them more.
More things to do will appear in the second part
Go to the warriors den, click your nest, and a pop-up will occur asking if you want to end the day, click yes, then, when it becomes night, click your nest again, and the sleep popup will appear. Hope this helps! :)
Thank you! This demo largely ends after day 2, but I'm working on the rest of the game now o7
i'm excited for Part 2 IcyTea, part 1 is really good and knowing your coding level, I'm sure part 2 will be even better!
Thank you! :D
i know it said no part 2 release date but i would like to know how its going so far! (no rush at all im just thankful for a pt 2. <D)
also can you add eyebrows :3 i feel like i'm overworkin ya here
hi! im not icytea but they said that theyre going to release it sometime in the summer!
tysm for tellin me <3
how much like... "hearts" do you have to have for a cat to be ya mate?
25
I have a question: will the player be able to give birth to kittens in the second installment? There's a bug in Snowfall: The Endless Winter that always allows your partner to give birth to kittens, even if they're male. It would also be great if Willowkit and Pearkit became apprentices.
Yep, kits will be in part 2!
Just wondering, is this game going to be linear, or will there be multiple paths? Ok if you don't want to give spoilers or something :3
There are and will continue to be multiple paths! You can make different decisions in dialogue choices and kill or have characters die in battle, both of which shapes the events of the story.
Ohhh yeah that makes sense
Ty :D
its not loading for mee;[[
is the game possibly bugged?
nevermind! i just had to download it for me.
Hey, I have two questions. Are you still working on part 2 of the game? Secondly, will there be a free download version of the game, because it's AWESOME!
Hi! Yes, I'm still working on part 2. The download is already free! Just click "Download Now" and "No thanks, just take me to the downloads." And thank you!!
THANK YOU <333
Its not loading, idk if it's the game or my computer but prob my computer
Uhhhh actually help its not loading i tried a million times :(
for me neither, i already tought this might happen so i downloaded it but now i can't load my save file anymore :(
Oh wow. I looove this game! But... Which cats can you be mates with, and which gender are they in?
Tell me I can mate with the cats in the Barn!
Also, why does the Clan have no apprentices? I see people asking about them, and I don't know! But if they're still in the development, I understand. Thanks.
Also, I love the art! I cannot believe someone can draw like this!
Not IcyTea, but I love answering questions so...
1. Westfire (F) Quailtuft (Any) Dawnwhisker (M) Wavefront (M) Flintsong (M) Hawkfeather (F) Stormfall (F) (name (gender you need to be if you wanna be mates with them) format)
2. Not yet
3. Good question, I can simply think apprentices weren't all that interested in joining a new Clan when Cedarhawk announced it at the gathering, where apprentices would be allowed to join in
Thank you so much. Really helps
This game is simply amazing. I can't wait for the second part. The moment when I was coming back from the Moonstone, started running, and fell off the cliff was amazing lol xD. Good thing Echoflight healed me.
I can't find the last location during the scouting patrol where you find willowkit, what place am i missing??
You have to go to the ocean, it's on the very right of the territory
drew my oc :3
uhh,,, forgot to copy the code so no code
ALSO!!!
there's a bit of blood. not much though. just thought that it might be important to mention ykyk. just in case
quick info: his name is nightflame. originally, he's from shadowclan. why he left? unknown. even he doesn't know, but nightflame is pretty unpredictable anyway. he's quite obsessed with starclan too. because starclan loves him, no? at least that's what his mother was telling him. when he's weak, just a quick pray and he's strong again, no? (totally not inspired by "I Dream Of Jesus" [it is]). the obsession makes nightflame a bit paranoid, but as long as he fights for starclan, he'll be loved by them in his mind. does he dream about having a little cult of his where he's the main pastor? kind of
idk what else to add. uhhh, fun fact, in my mother language his name is Nocny Płomień yeah
k that's it bye (feel free to draw him tho. just credit me if you use him somewhere else than this comment ye)
looks really good!
Has anyone had problems with getting into the game on mobile and how do you fix it? I just wanna play :(
Unfortunately Hickory Isles has a tendency to crash on mobile devices due to its large size 😔
I've been working on an android port to go along with the browser / html downloadable versions currently available in the hopes that it'll work better for some people, though it's still being tested by some of the beta testers and I in the Hickory Isles server ^^
This is so much fun!! i cant wait for part two but for now im super satisfied with what we got (plus my fave character so far is Wavefront)
I'm excited 4 part two, pretty sure its twoleg place, gonna b fun either way
I killed two three coyotes during the attack at moonstone but, two are still standing and we can't leave the battle seuinc ebut we can't attack because they are died
Hi! I have a question:
If you take Cedarstar out to patrol, and you "run into" rouges, and then the rouges kill her 9 times, will she die?
Edit: Who is downvoting everybody...
I found a glitch of where i kill a brown squirrel and it gives me a gray squirrel. Not that its really important
Can someone please tell me what the flowers that grow at the moonstone are for!? When I go there, sometimes I see these blue flowers growing at the base. What are they for? Will they be part of part 2? Please let me know. Thanks!
Those are Frostbloom flowers! They are rare (1/5 spawn chance per day), so you should definitely pick them up when you get the chance. When eaten, they remove all injuries and give a temporary speed boost, similar to Valerian plants. They're also worth a hefty amount of 10 reputation if you'd like to sell them to Tansyblade, or Red (who you will meet in Part 2) :]
Whoaahhh
also, almost everyone loves them as a gift!
Love this game! But could you please tell me when part 2 will come out ive bin waiting for SOOOOOO LONG!! Also i got an email that said it updated sooo maybe
Thank you! I'm hoping it will be finished sometime this summer. I'm mostly just working on adding quests now
why do I love the parallax in the title screen so much lol
how to kill a cat from ur clan with death berries?
You can't, but in part 2 you will be able to poison characters with poisoned mice
Okay! I hope part 2 is coming soon! If it is, I'll play right away! And I have a question, which cats can I partner with NOW?
I made Evil Larry for like no reason :>
