i used it on mobile many times and then it crashed so i just had to stop playing it that day but then it worked, for pc ive only ever downloaded it so idk
is there a way to disable your cats from randomly transitioning? I know you can edit the gender, but I still don’t want the randomized event to happen in the first place.
Edit: I typed this out super quick and realized it could’ve came off wrong, so just to clarify: it’s because I want to decide this for myself and it triggers my dysphoria when it comes to certain cats I've written lore for or turned into OCs
Im on Mac and I don't have much storage, so I tried using the online version. For some reason, it didn't load and had me on a screen saying downloading, but nothing happened.
hello!i'm a player from China.i like this game very much!Can i translate i into Chinese?i wouldn't make a profit with it,it's just for Chinese players to play.
we have people working on translations for a variety of languages, including Chinese! I'd suggest joining the discord if you can, you can get a role to help with an official translation.
Alternatively, I doubt anyone would mind if you translated it yourself, although it would be a heck of a lot of work! The game has a *lot* of text to translate.
I have clangen, but I don't know how to add the new updates. I have the sprite designs for faded cats, masked cats, newborn kittens etc. But I don't know how to add them to the game. I installed clangen last year without itch.io, but I have it now. Does anyone have any Ideas on how to install the updates.
There is something in my clangen files that say 'self_update' or just the word 'update', should I press that or what?
faded cats were added in the update before the auto-updater, but the original poster seems to not have it in their version - they'll have to redownload the game with the latest update manually and transfer their saves to there
Sadly I don't believe chromebooks are able to download executable(.exe) files, so for example like games of any kind. Though I may be wrong since I'm just going off what I know from using my school chromebook, googling it might give more info!

I use my personal chromebook, and since it's more space efficient, I just run the game via the source code from github. You could also use Wine or the Linux version, buuuuut- Wine takes up a lot of Linux space, and I haven't tried running the Linux version itself.
Curious if anyone else was dealing with this, I stopped playing months ago because randomly half my cats kept breaking up despite having good relationships. Don't know if it was maybe a fluke for my file or a change in the relationship mechanics that made breakups so frequent.
Is that what the lines were suppose to mean? I just kept ignoring them per pairing and not really thinking about it until one of my playthroughs I had a lot of break ups happening randomly.
you cannot get the downloadable version on mobile, and likely won't be able to anytime soon. There are several issues with porting the game to mobile, unfortunately.
I play on a HP laptop and have been wanting to play this game for awhile now. I played the browser version for a bit but now I want to try this. When I went to the 'Clan Down loader' it gave me the best option for my device. However when i went to open the file it told me that I needed to download an extra app to be able to download the files? Is there anyway I'd be able to play this game without any addons?
Could you please add the dark forest if possible. Honestly, Idk think cats who murder a clamate in cold blood for no apparent reason belong in starclan.
may sound stupid, but when I download it, it says its downloaded, but when I click on ClanGen, it uses says "Apple couldn't see its malfunction" and then "Please update this software" so my question is, how do you actually start to play it
How to Open. You need to click on your file button, then click 'downloads'. The most recent one should be clangen. Double click on that. Then double click on the 'Clangen' file, should be on top. Then scroll down until you find 'clangen'. Double click on it, and 'extract all'. Then confirm and wait. When it's done, double click on 'Clangen' again, scroll, and 'clangen' should be a different symbol. Double click and wait. It might take a moment, but it'll load.
I love this game but can you fix the change gender option.
for example when I change a female cat to male they can still have kits or if I change a male to female they can't have kits
other than that I would love if you would add the option of certain cats being able to murder others because it would make the game have more drama, and leading to that, it would also be fun if you added affairs/cheating to make your story more investing.
and I don't know if this will be in cruel season or not. I would love it if you would add the option for dark forest cats to take in apprentices from the living also for more less boring stories. That's all! No pressure!
When you change a gender of a cat it has a special note saying that no matter what you change the gender to, it will always be the original gender. (ex. you change a male to female, they will not have kits) this is part of the game.
i assume what you mean for the change gender option is for trans cats, which is an option right above the change gender option. murder and cheating are also in the game already! (edit - you need to toggle a setting in the in-game settings > relations tab in order to have cheating, but even then it's already rare)
male to female cats aren't able to have kits because...they're pretty much still male. same thing with people, if guys choose to be female (trans, ig) it doesn't mean they can suddenly give birth to kids, yknow? bc they're still male.
What? I'm not trying to sound rude or mean and not trying to start a reply war but I hope you read the comment I was replying to. "if I change a male to female they can't have kits" is what I was trying to explain to them, the commenter.
MATE. ITS NOT MEANT TO BE REALISTIC. THE CATS FUCKING TALK AND FOLLOW RELIGION SO TRANS CATS HAVING KITS IN THE SAME GAME ISNT REALLY THAT HARD TO WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND!!
So I am on a windows 11 and tried downloading it. So I got the file and setup but i cant seem to run it? And when i try to get more instructions it says download the file?? I have been playing the online version as i tried to download this a few weeks ago but now its stopped working - after loading it's showing a black screen. If anybody could help me fix either of these problems it would be helpful! Thanks in advance.
there’s no setup, it should just be a quick extract of a .zip file and searching for the .exe? I’m on windows 11 and this didn’t happen to me, Maybe download it again?
omens from starclan are in the game too! there are omen sight and prophet skills that will give special events and patrols relating to omens and prophecies :)
I cannot play ClanGen, because everything is zoomed in! I can't see the cats' names or traits when selecting my leader/deputy/medicine cat, or most of the recruits. THIS ANNOYS ME TO GREAT EXTENTS. Please fix it!
i assume you're on the online version? on mobile i am unsure what to do if it's zoomed in but for me it seems to resize on its own, on computer you can resize your window to fit the size of the site
- Deputy got the medicine cat (not his mate) pregnant. Other clan members didn't seem to care. He later ended up in a throuple with the leader and one of the elders, and sired/adopted more than a dozen kits over his lifetime.
- The other medicine cat murdered someone in cold blood for annoying her, then got murdered herself. Sent her to the Dark Forest, because the victim was one of my favorite cats.
- A rat king killed eight warriors from two different hunting patrols, and wounded a few others.
Outstanding game. Looking forward to future updates.

no, there isn't a way to turn that off, and there won't be one added. Sorry it's triggering your dysphoria, that sucks :(
I JUST FOUND THE SECRET LITTERS ON THE MOBILE AND I AM SO EXCITED
Im on Mac and I don't have much storage, so I tried using the online version. For some reason, it didn't load and had me on a screen saying downloading, but nothing happened.

Quick question, because I absolutely LOVE the backgrounds for the areas you can chose in Clangen, what application do you use to create them?
you can use basically any art program that supports pixel art for sprite modding, including background editing
We have a variety of people working on sprites and backgrounds, so there's a good chance different backgrounds were made in different programs!
lovely cat!!!!!!
i like this game :)
does this work on like a chromebook or laptops? Please ive seen this game on youtube and i really wanna play it!
Chromebook guide is here! Just scroll down till you find CHROMEOS: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14YNiXcOF19doLtQRA2H2uB-aU0KaAwj-vA4IuSeD-BE/edit#heading=h.rkx1e7btmlqu
I cant get the game to load on my computer. Its just a black screen. Its been happening more and more as I play. What do i do?
theres a good chance you may have downloaded a version that is unsuitable for your computer! have you tried playing the other versions?
I don't know of any other versions unfortunately
I have clangen, but I don't know how to add the new updates. I have the sprite designs for faded cats, masked cats, newborn kittens etc. But I don't know how to add them to the game. I installed clangen last year without itch.io, but I have it now. Does anyone have any Ideas on how to install the updates.
There is something in my clangen files that say 'self_update' or just the word 'update', should I press that or what?
if you’re talking about the itch.io version of clangen, it should just update on its own
faded cats were added in the update before the auto-updater, but the original poster seems to not have it in their version - they'll have to redownload the game with the latest update manually and transfer their saves to there
hello i just wanted to know will any of these work on any type of cromebook?
Sadly I don't believe chromebooks are able to download executable(.exe) files, so for example like games of any kind. Though I may be wrong since I'm just going off what I know from using my school chromebook, googling it might give more info!
here’s the download guide! It’s a bit complicated for chromeOS though, just scroll down till you see “CHROMEOS”! https://docs.google.com/document/d/14YNiXcOF19doLtQRA2H2uB-aU0KaAwj-vA4IuSeD-BE/edit#heading=h.rkx1e7btmlqu
im on a chromebook and idk anything i need to download it. PLEASE!!!
Sadly I don't believe chromebooks are able to download executable(.exe) files, so for example like games of any kind. Though I may be wrong since I'm just going off what I know from using my school chromebook, googling it might give more info!
ok ty its blocked on my school Chromebook im only in 6th so maybe that will change soon!

im Playing on iPad and im Trying to Download it But it doesnt work i Need help TvT
it doesn't work on ipads, you can use the web version though! (which has less features unfortunately)
I don't seem to be able to save my clans or make new ones on the web version. Is it limited and have I reached the limit then?
Curious if anyone else was dealing with this, I stopped playing months ago because randomly half my cats kept breaking up despite having good relationships. Don't know if it was maybe a fluke for my file or a change in the relationship mechanics that made breakups so frequent.
oof that sucks.
Idk but it's happening to me too, three times now as soon as my cats give birth their mate breaks up with them
It could be a compatibility issue between the two cats!
iirc the flat line is neutral, the soft squiggle line is 'good compatibility', and the jagged line is 'negative compatibility'.
Is that what the lines were suppose to mean? I just kept ignoring them per pairing and not really thinking about it until one of my playthroughs I had a lot of break ups happening randomly.
I've been playing on the web version for a few days and it suddenly stopped working yesterday. Is that normal ? (Absolutely love the game btw!!!)
So we could better understand the other clans
Could you guys add gatherings
that's being planned already!
how do I install this its hard for me can someone help?
there's tutorials on youtube :)
I cant work out how to actually play this on itch.io,can anyone help me out?
I have the same problem
I love clan gen so much!
One thing i would love to see, is a "city" tab when creating the background. So we could create a clan, but in the allies of the big city!
I have a question. I’ve been wanting the actual clan gen on iPad for a while now not the gibhub but when will it be released?
you cannot get the downloadable version on mobile, and likely won't be able to anytime soon. There are several issues with porting the game to mobile, unfortunately.
i download, extract it and its always the same thing:

i try to redowload it and do it all over again but it never works
I'd recommend joining the discord for help with this if you can.
If you can't, then what OS are you using (windows? linux?) and when does it say that? when you try to open the game?

this is probably some sort of mistake by the computer, although not one I'm particularly familiar with. Rings a bell but can't quite remember what.
I'd recommend joining the discord for help with this!
remove Microsoft safety
How do I do that?
Could you please add the dark forest if possible. Honestly, Idk think cats who murder a clamate in cold blood for no apparent reason belong in starclan.
on the downloadable version there's already a dark forest, you have to send cats there manually though
may sound stupid, but when I download it, it says its downloaded, but when I click on ClanGen, it uses says "Apple couldn't see its malfunction" and then "Please update this software" so my question is, how do you actually start to play it
Does it say 'Apple cannot check for malicious software'? If so, right click > open instead of just opening it normally. ^^
Alright, thank you!! I tried that and I managed to get it to work! ^^
But tbh I rly want more mutashans
I LOVE THIS GAME.
How to Open. You need to click on your file button, then click 'downloads'. The most recent one should be clangen. Double click on that. Then double click on the 'Clangen' file, should be on top.

I feel kinda dumb for asking this but where do you find the zip file?
Check my comment, might help :)
i cant open it,it keeps telling me that i cant open it on my computer. im on a chromebook if it helps.
clangen has stopped opening. sos.
what OS are you on? Windows, Mac, Linux? and what error is it giving you, if any/what is it doing?
is it perhaps not in the og folder?
that happened to me on linux, i reinstalled it plus made more space on my computer and it works now
I FEEL SO STUPID, i downloaded it right, but how do i play it=?!?!!?!?!
what OS are you on? Windows, Mac, Linux? and what error is it giving you, if any/what is it doing/where are you getting stuck?

I am still saving up for a "real" computer, but at the moment I have a Huawei laptop. Can I still download clangen? And if so, what version?
it depends on the OS of your laptop! Windows? Linux?
you can try to download from https://clangen.io/download, which will recommend a download for your system
thinks to add to the game: Omens from starclan and the option of having the cat killed by another one,
Murder is already in the game!! You can use mediators to make cats dislike each other, and that'll give them a boosted chance for murder.
omens from starclan are in the game too! there are omen sight and prophet skills that will give special events and patrols relating to omens and prophecies :)
anyone know how to open it? im playing on chrome os and i dont know how to open it, also, which file is for chrome os?
I HAVE NO IDEAAAA IM STRUGGLING W THE SAME THING

That- that's crazy lol. Can't wait to download the full version
I once got a cat who had like 25 kits with random cats. nobody cared when he died lol
