I'm playing on Chromebook so I don't have a download so I play the online version. recently its been really laggy so its unplayable. When I get to the menu page it is really zoomed in and I cant zoom out. it has been like this for months and I don't know what else to do. ive tried refreshing and even restarting the entire device but nothing works
What's the online version? I'm on Chromebook Lenovo and I'd like to know, and maybe I can find a solution to the problem you're having, I'm decently experienced with computers but not professional.
Unfortunately that is a pretty well-known issue. We don't have many people working on that version of the game, and there hasn't been a reliable fix found for it yet. You can try re-sizing your window as a possible temporary fix.
Hi is there any chance they will be making this available to Chromebooks not just ones with Linux! and unfortunately im one of those people so please i really like this game and i would really like to play instead of watching vids online! so please if you can!
You can always use the online version! And majority of chromebooks can have Linux enabled as long as they aren't monitored (say by school or parental controls).
It will likely eventually be rewritten in C# or another equivalent language in the future, which would allow us to potentially port it to mobile but there is no timeframe yet for the rewrite, much less the mobile version
somebody help? when i downloaded the new update the game doesnt run it only shows a black screen and kicks me out seconds later. Is ther any way that i could fix this issue? I have over 100 moons and i don't wanna lose my save!
Is anyone else having an issue where the patrol types aren't showing up? This has happened with two different clans now and they're all stuck on hunting patrol, besides the med(s).
are you using classic mode? expanded mode introduces the ability to change patrol types yourself (which makes the patrol icons show up), and classic mode's patrols are totally randomized
So I downloaded ClanGen some months ago and I played the online version a lot. And 1 day I tried the other version of it and I only played it once, for 1 day and was never allowed to play that version again ever since. I don't what happened, nor do I remember what I did in order to get it to work. But my point is that I've been able to play anything but the online version, which is annoying.
You can try redownloading and replacing all files, your saves are stored in a separate folder and will be protected! You can back them up as well if you'd like to feel a bit safer.
When ever I open the online clan gen it’s just a black screen can anyone help? I’ve tried refreshing going to my history and opening it and that doesn’t work so does anyone know what to do? I would appreciate it cause I have 75 cats
I've just got the game, but it claimed there a "python DLL" file missing, I don't know what to do, I extracted the file, I tried to download all three versions for windows but still won't work, my brother tried to help me and it seems to not work, pleased fix this.
I was having the same issue, but I was able to make an exception to open ClanGen anyway. I googled around and found this:
To change these preferences on your Mac, choose Apple menu
> System Preferences, click Security & Privacy ,then click General.
In the General tab at the bottom it said something like "open clangen" and I clicked it and then reopened clangen and was able to actually open it. sorry if I explained that poorly haha
its on the discord, but i cant figure out hwo to download it myself from the server, you should find the link for the server on some youtube lifegen or clangen videos btw
You download the LifeGen file from the LifeGen Discord server. On the server, they have a channel named "how-to-download". That's where the tutorials are located.
The file link/download is located in "game-announcements".
I tried downloading the Windows 32, but it don't respond at all :( Is anyone else having issues. I had it downloaded before, but wanted to see if anything was new since haven't played in a few months
I was just wondering, is there any way to look back on past moons? i accidentally clicked to fast forward one moon without reading what happened and i don't know what happening now.
I have a Lenovo laptop, do you think you could try and make a way to allow these laptops to play/download the game?? Or a mobile version. I played the GitHub version, but it no longer works, I hope you can help.
you can download the game on a Lenovo I believe! I'd suggest joining the discord for help with it as it can be sometimes finicky (assuming they're similar to Chromebooks).
unfortunately there's a multitude of issues with making this a mobile game! the biggest one being that it's coded in python 3, while to port it into mobile it would need to be in python 2. So short of recoding the entire game, it's not really possible to easily add it on mobile.
In the meantime you can still play the web version on mobile- that should work fine.
this is not actually a problem with it needing to be updated- it's an issue with Mac's antivirus wrongly flagging the game. You can usually bypass this by right click opening the game, or control click if you can't right click
All updates are announced in the ClanGen discord! Our most recent stable update was the June release. There is no specific schedule, as the game is simply updated once there has been thorough beta-testing of new features.
Helloooo, when I download the file and extract it, and then click on it, I only have one file, named Clangen. BUT, when I click on it, I only have one named pygame. If I click on it, I either have data, or nothing. I've tried everything, does somebody know how to get the correct file ? :(
Thonny is basically a program for running source code, and plenty of people still use it. You can get the source version from Github via clicking the green "Code" button and then "Download ZIP"
the usual game (not the source version) can be found on the game's page here or at https://clangen.io/download
small note- you cannot get official tech support for the source version on the discord. It's pretty much run at your own risk.
I have the Clangen game on the bottom of my screen from playing it a while ago but now when I click on it the game is not loading up same as when I go to downloads and try to open the game.
basically you gotta do what it says at first which is drag the app to your app thing and stuff, then you gotta go to settings, privacy thing or something, then click the lock, then you gotta enter ur password of ur pc and then u can change it so the app is allowed to work. I hope it’s simple enough, cuz I dunno how else to describe that.
sorry I'm quite late with this- are you on Windows or Mac? I know Mac will flag it as "needs to be updated" when trying to open the game sometimes but idk much about Windows
I'm currently on Mac (I think 13??) and I can't open it due to Apple not being able to check it for Malicious Software. I'm kinda new to Mac, moved from Window's pretty recently. I just wanna know if there's a way to fix it or if I have to wait for an update.
Hi! This has happened to me before! If you just go into settings, and then click the security and privacy button, then you should see a something that has a button that says "Allow App" or something like that. Hope I helped,
You can often get it on Chromebook (assuming that's what you're using)! It can be a bit finicky to set up though so I'd recommend the discord for tech support
From what I understand, the previous person primarily in charge of the web version stepped down for personal reasons, and the web version is in general a bit buggy and behind. You might be able to get it working again by clearing your cache/cookies for your browser, but that will delete your existing saves as a consequence.
Okay, I'm on Windows 10 and I already have it downloaded. The problem is, when I try to open it my PC says that it's dangerous and it might have a virus. Is that true? If not, sorry I'm just being paranoid. It says it's unrecognized. Should I run anyway or not?
Clangen has no malicious software or virus in it. Antivirus programs and such tend to flag various parts of Clangen including the auto updater. You can safely run it anyway :)
Hello. My name is Zoe, and I'm blind. I use a screenreader called NVDA that reads what's on my computer screen with text to speech and allows me to use it with special keystrokes. I love listening to people play this game on YouTube and I decided to see if it would work with NVDA since it's mostly text. Sadly nothing will read, although that could be because I'm on Windows 11, can't be sure.
I know this is a bit of an ask since I myself don't know the first thing about how to make games work with screenreaders and I'm likely the only visually impaired person interested in this game at the moment, but if you or someone else would consider working on this game to make it more accessible, I would be beyond appreciative. There aren't really any accessible storytelling/sandbox games out there that visually impaired people can play, and I know I'm not the only blind warriors fan since there are audio books of the Warriors series made specifically to be distributed among blind people. So I don't think I'd be the only blind person to play it if it was accessible.
hey hi- you came to the discord to ask about this correct? there was someone there the other day asking about something quite similar
You're definitely not the only visually impaired person interested in the game! One of our discord mods is blind and we have quite a lot of people using screenreaders :)

do you know when the game is gonna be out on mobile?
It’s not, it’s extremely difficult for it to be made on mobile, so the developers aren’t doing it unfortunately.
It will likely eventually be rewritten in C# or another equivalent language in the future, which would allow us to potentially port it to mobile but there is no timeframe yet for the rewrite, much less the mobile version
i get the game but it doesnt look like the pictures. help?
Make sure you got the version from itch io and not from Tumblr or the online version
somebody help? when i downloaded the new update the game doesnt run it only shows a black screen and kicks me out seconds later. Is ther any way that i could fix this issue? I have over 100 moons and i don't wanna lose my save!
It’s gonna be like that for a little bit. And I’m sorry to tell you this, but your saves are probably all deleted by now.
How do you download on chromebook??? PLEASE HELP
Is anyone else having an issue where the patrol types aren't showing up? This has happened with two different clans now and they're all stuck on hunting patrol, besides the med(s).
are you using classic mode? expanded mode introduces the ability to change patrol types yourself (which makes the patrol icons show up), and classic mode's patrols are totally randomized
Im like 99% sure I put them on expanded, but ill try again and see what it does

How do I update?
It has automatic updates, if you originally installed it before auto updates were added you have to redownload it
When ever I open the online clan gen it’s just a black screen can anyone help? I’ve tried refreshing going to my history and opening it and that doesn’t work so does anyone know what to do? I would appreciate it cause I have 75 cats
It’s because of the update, it did that for me too. I don’t know what to do, and all your cats are probably deleted like mine were.
I've just got the game, but it claimed there a "python DLL" file missing, I don't know what to do, I extracted the file, I tried to download all three versions for windows but still won't work, my brother tried to help me and it seems to not work, pleased fix this.
what windows edition are you on?
I've been having the same issue as the original commenter, my windows edition is a Windows 11 Home, can you help me?
I used Windows 11
it says:
“Clangen” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. I'm on MacOS
I was having the same issue, but I was able to make an exception to open ClanGen anyway. I googled around and found this:
To change these preferences on your Mac, choose Apple menu
In the General tab at the bottom it said something like "open clangen" and I clicked it and then reopened clangen and was able to actually open it. sorry if I explained that poorly haha
Does Anyone Know How To Download The lifegen Mod? I'm Interested In Checking It Out!
its on the discord, but i cant figure out hwo to download it myself from the server, you should find the link for the server on some youtube lifegen or clangen videos btw
You download the LifeGen file from the LifeGen Discord server. On the server, they have a channel named "how-to-download". That's where the tutorials are located.

I tried downloading the Windows 32, but it don't respond at all :( Is anyone else having issues. I had it downloaded before, but wanted to see if anything was new since haven't played in a few months
ya I'm on macOS and it says its not working
it looks so fun!
I’m so sad you can’t download it on iPad 😭
You can play a version of it on a phone, you just search clangen web, and i just checked it, so if it doesnt work then idk- Not sure about a tablet
I was just wondering, is there any way to look back on past moons? i accidentally clicked to fast forward one moon without reading what happened and i don't know what happening now.
i dont believe so, but you may be able to view it in your clan file in the open data directory.
thankyou! ill be sure to check now :
I have a Lenovo laptop, do you think you could try and make a way to allow these laptops to play/download the game?? Or a mobile version. I played the GitHub version, but it no longer works, I hope you can help.
you can download the game on a Lenovo I believe! I'd suggest joining the discord for help with it as it can be sometimes finicky (assuming they're similar to Chromebooks).
This is the absolute most interesting/fun game ever! It's super simple and easy, and it's such an enjoyable experience.
I love playing this on my Windows and Chromebook.
Please, please, please add it to mobile devices!! 🥺 🙏
Thank you so much!

Ohhh!! Okay. Thank you! Also, quick question, when do you think Cruel Season will come out? 2024?
we don't know! currently it's planned to be worked on once all the features of Expanded Mode are finished, especially the freshkill pile function
Fun!! I can't wait! Great job to those creators helping with the game!
I'll ask, WHEN WILL CRUEL SEASON COME OUT? I'm dieing to learn about it.
Sammeeee
currently the development team is taken up in the other pressing updates and have said that cruel seasons will not be out any time soon.
When is the update for Mac coming out? it's not letting me download it because of undetermined malicious software
this is not actually a problem with it needing to be updated- it's an issue with Mac's antivirus wrongly flagging the game. You can usually bypass this by right click opening the game, or control click if you can't right click
hello when is the new update scheduled to come out? :) thank you!

Helloooo, when I download the file and extract it, and then click on it, I only have one file, named Clangen. BUT, when I click on it, I only have one named pygame. If I click on it, I either have data, or nothing. I've tried everything, does somebody know how to get the correct file ? :(
Try and see which file your using! If your pc is windows and you have another file type, then it might not work.
you have to open the "clangen.exe" file!
can i get clangen on a lenovo?
I think so! I'd suggest asking on the discord about it since it can be rather finicky to get on a Chromebook :)
Yeah, you can. I have it on one.
Where do I get the version on Thonny? Or is that a thing of the past lol, also how do I download it on github?
Thonny is basically a program for running source code, and plenty of people still use it. You can get the source version from Github via clicking the green "Code" button and then "Download ZIP"

what OS are you using? Windows, Mac, or something else?
im on Mac and can't download. it says it has to be updated to check if it has viruses or something. what do I do?
thats the same with me, ive tried everything i can but nothing works i think they just need to update it
I got it but idk it’s kind of complicated to type it out
please say it
basically you gotta do what it says at first which is drag the app to your app thing and stuff, then you gotta go to settings, privacy thing or something, then click the lock, then you gotta enter ur password of ur pc and then u can change it so the app is allowed to work. I hope it’s simple enough, cuz I dunno how else to describe that.
tysm ill try it now
there is no lock...and it doesnt rlly work still says malicous softwear
it says that for me too
it i saying the software needs to be updated so i cant download it? is there anyway you can fix it
sorry I'm quite late with this- are you on Windows or Mac? I know Mac will flag it as "needs to be updated" when trying to open the game sometimes but idk much about Windows
When I try to run it it says, The procedure entry point GetActiveProcessorCount could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
when are you going to release cruel season I want to try it
it'll be ready when it's ready, which is not yet. the devs are finishing up expanded mode before they get to cruel season.
is there a release date for cruel season? im so exited for it
nope! it'll be ready when it's ready, which is not yet. the devs are finishing up expanded mode before they get to cruel season
Can you download it on an iPad?
I don't think you ca
can
Very cute and fun game, I loved all my cats dearly even if Bristlemoon kept causing havoc. 🥰
I'm currently on Mac (I think 13??) and I can't open it due to Apple not being able to check it for Malicious Software. I'm kinda new to Mac, moved from Window's pretty recently. I just wanna know if there's a way to fix it or if I have to wait for an update.
Hi! This has happened to me before! If you just go into settings, and then click the security and privacy button, then you should see a something that has a button that says "Allow App" or something like that. Hope I helped,
-Wither
can you get it on a google crome???
https://clangen-web.github.io/
You can often get it on Chromebook (assuming that's what you're using)! It can be a bit finicky to set up though so I'd recommend the discord for tech support
The online version is just a black screen nowadays. Did i do something or did the owner just give up on the online version?

Will this ever be available on Android?
no, the game does not work on mobile. You can use the online version however (if it's working; I've heard a couple people say it might be down).
