I cant open the files when I download them and I don't know if its something I did or if its the game or my laptop I have an Avita and I downloaded both of the 32 and 64 files
I would like it if i could play as a single loner cat then join a clan or start my cat off as a rouge interactions with other clans that we own/ clan saves instead of random clans would be nice. they could be like on cat that can be us as a cat that we have more control over. like when we are pik clans cats we get to chose our player cat that we can edited coat eyes ex.. then we get to pick leader dep med ex...
Yeah some of my cats i had plans for like mate plans then they decide the not straight anymore its annoying i feel like they should not chnge sex on their on that should be for the player to decide what sex they want them to be
You can literally change their gender or change them back to their original gender by opening their "personal" tab...it's so annoying when people ask for updates or maps that are ALREADY ADDED
I agree with you. I understand the game has a lot of trans developers and they're putting that in the game, but if the button to specify a cat's gender manually is already there, why is the randomized chance for cats to choose their gender by themselves there too? The game is already very gender neutral with each cat being referred to as they. Some of us already have stories for our characters and what they prefer. Even if no cat is really straight or bisexual or gay, people have headcanons for their own cats and I don't see why the game should randomize their cats' gender and may have to change that. You can reverse the that action, but why is it there in the first place? You can manually do it if it's something you desire with your cats.
Why should we let the cats choose their own mates when the player can manually set mates? Why should we let the mentors be assigned apprentices automatically when the player can manually assign apprentices? Why should we let the deputy be chosen automatically when the player can manually promote a deputy? Why should we include any RNG elements when we already include options for the player to manually make those decisions. I don't understand why you're only asking this question in regards to the trans cats. Sounds like you only take issue with one thing, and that reflects badly on you.
Those are all natural things that can happen in a clan. I understand those elements being randomized, but not their genders. Gender is a personable thing, that each person has a unique take on, depending on who who are. There's some that believe there's only two, while others believe there's multiple. Sex doesn't equal gender, so why are the cats referred to as male and female instead of tom and she-cat like in the books? Why are male and female the gender identities if they aren't genders? If the game has genders, why can't you set the pronouns of your cats?
Why does gender even matter to cats anyway? It's nice that gender diverse people can headcanon their original cat characters as gender diverse, but why would a cat want to be nonbinary or a trans male/female if the issues with gender and gender identity stems from human socialization and stereotypes of male and female people of the man and woman gender?
Pronouns are actually an upcoming update. As you can imagine, making sure all the text in the game can dynamically update to given pronouns of specific cats is rather complex, which is why a neutral they/them was used originally. But, regardless, we could argue this all day and likely get no where. The bottom line is that this is the decision that has been made by the contributor team and is very very very unlikely to ever change. You do not have to play the game if it makes you uncomfortable and you can always change the gender of the cat if it displeases you.
Sorry, this isn't in the plans. A lot of the development team for clangen is trans and the game itself is lgbt+ friendly. If you dont like it when a cat transitions, you can change them back on their profile page
Is there a release date for the next update I'm really excited for when cruel season comes out and I was wondering if there was an estimated date for release.
Suggestion: Can there be a way to simulate life in a Tribe like the Tribe of Rushing Water? Or a way to simulate life in a group like Scourge's or Darktails? Also, maybe StarClan's prophecies could also have an impact on the simulation?
I'm having trouble opening the game, I downloaded it on my Mac, but it won't let me open it because Apple can't check it for malware. Does anyone know how I can bypass that?
Aight, I figured it out, my computer gave me some handy-dandy instructions:
In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open.
Don’t use Launchpad to locate the app.
Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
Click Open.
The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it at any time by double-clicking it, just as you do with any registered app.
sorry for saying, but when I get into the game, its like just no details and the whole thing is like a earlier version of the game. I don´t know what to do at this point. please tell me if you see this!
all love,
-ThatBlondMolly
(edit) please also tell me how to open the game, I´m no genius.
If you're on windows then just download the game then open it in files. Open the file again and you'll see a lot of files or images, then scroll down until you reach the "clangen.exe" double click it then extract the file. Your computer might flag it as unsafe but thats because it isnt officially a real game. Then you open the new extracted file , open up clangen again then it'll play.
You know how we can click on the Medicine Cat Den to see all the injured cats, the log, and the Herbs? Can we maybe get something like that on the Clearing, where it shows the other Clans near us and our Status with them? Like, in one of my playthroughs, I'm at War with a Clan but Allies with another, and I think it would be neat to be able to see our Relationship with other Clans. Being able to edit those Clans Names would be nice too, it can even be in the same section. Otherwise I'm having a lot of fun and look forward to whatever else you may add!!
(Like also maybe a Bog/Swamp map and/or a City/Twoleg Map lol?)
Ability to bring back an exiled cat; for example, I had a clan once where the leader was very tyrannical and an elder got exiled, but I was so sad and after the tyrannical leader died I couldn't get that cat back or put them in the clan's Starclan, so maybe it could be a feature to bring back an exiled cat??
hey there, my game isn't allowing me to get past 218 moons, if I click save or skip a moon it shuts down the game and doesn't save. I have a couple of clans and it won't let me swap clans it will just shut down the game. I have re-downloaded it 3 times now with no success in solving this. I don't know what else to do... do I say goodbye to my clan and restart anew or is there anything I can do to save my current clan?
HOW DO I PLAY IT?! I have none of those dum apps,that can and might give my info away. is that the prob? :( Edit: nvm,I'm on Mobile,I wanted to play it instead of watching everyone else have fun playing it. :,(
(None of those are apps, they're all types of computers, unless your on Chromebook where you have to enable Linux and that's what that is, also maybe be a bit nicer to the poor game devs who try their best to develop it on multiple computers)
If you are on mobile you can use the website version, it may be behind a ways, but you can still enjoy some of the experience!
If you are on an iPhone with the latest version of iOS, you can bookmark the ClanGen website link to your homepage and play it like any other mobile app, it will auto update as well.
Oh...I think I had that in the old game and never was able to play as a result... Is there a more info option? If there is, I might be able to help. Also, are you on a Windows computer or Mac? Or neither?
Which one are you trying to download? If it's Linux, you might need to go into settings and try turning Linux on, if not I don't know how to help other than make sure you downloaded the right one.
this is for the people that play the online versio: if a cat dies on a patrol u can just reload the site (i have done this 2 times it works) (pls don't fix it) (i don't have the pc version so i don't know if it works) happy playing<3
Hello! There has been an issue with my online version. Every time I've been on it recently, the loading screen just goes black. And before it did that, it would freeze if i pressed a button. Mind fixing this issue?
I think, on the whole, you will be better of downloading the game. It does not work well on the online version, and it's not like you have to pay to download it!
but you also may not have the three things you can get it on, like I'm on a ChromeOS so I'd need to enable Linux, but it's not supported on ChromeOS and the other versions wouldn't work on my computer
I think it would be enjoyable to have it that, sometimes, cats get exiled by their leader when you skip a moon. I think that would be a fun thing to add to the game, it would be great to have a bit more story in it. Not saying it's not bad-it's amazing, I just think that that would be fun.
If this game gets an update, what should I do to receive it without losing all my clans? Other than this question constantly swimming around my head, this is a truly great game. I love it soooooo much! There is only one other warrior cats game I have and it's simply not the same.....Keep up the good work! I have the game on a windows computer....Not sure if you can get it on anything else, but just in case I wanted to say. Also, when are you planning to release the harder mode for the clans? I love having a good challenge!
If you want to keep your clans when there’s a new update, you should take the file out of the current folder and put in into the new clangen folder after you extract it.
My computer said it wasn't safe as well, but I got it working in the end by tapping more info and there was an option to run anyway. Not sure if this is the same issue you are having, but I hope it helps!
I turned off my antivirus to try and see if I could actually download this, but it still said virus scan failed. People told me to turn off my antivirus to fix it, but as stated, I did and it was not fixed. I try to download this a lot and it always says virus scan failed.
I don't quite know is you need any suggestions, but if you do: here's some! It would be amazing if players were able to edit relationship statuses, family and age, like for example, on the personal button when you click it, theres an "age" button, where you can edit the age. Same thing with family and relationships, except there could be an "edit" button in the corner somewhere. So that way, when you click the edit button, you can change who their parents and siblings are, as well as change who they like and dislike, and by how much!
These are just suggestions, I'm absolutely in love with this game, and I'm so grateful for all the hard work that has gone into it!
It won't work on the online version, when I try to select a terrain it freezes, when I try to switch clans it freezes, and when I skip a few moons it freezes up. I deleted all of my cats in the one clan that I can go into (big mistake) because I got bored and now I cant make a new clan.
When you get so far into the game that you only have one cat left from your original 10 cats and their an elder and probably the oldest cat in the clan and will probably die soon.
idea: add a "kill cat" option but we can choose a murderer to kill the cat they dislike for example Whitestar killed Moonfoot out of jealousy and bloodthirsty.
I've been trying to timeskip one moon but it keeps logging me out, giving me this message:
I'm not really a coding expert so I'm unsure of how to fix this, the other clans that I've created do just fine though. I've also tried restarting my computer but it won't work and I don't want to uninstall it to install it once more as I don't want to lose my progress.
I'm not sure if suggestions are needed, but I think that the mechanic of Gathering would be awesome, it can be like an instrument to improve or worse your relashionship with other clans and also to see some parts of the life of other clans. This is just an idea which came to my mind and I thought I needed to write about it. Thank you a lot for your work, ClanGen is amazing! The ultimate instrument to write fanfics c:
i got on this online and i cant load in anymore its just on a black screen and the sides are blue it took me a very long time to get on that screen. im also on a chrom.OS so maybe thats why but it was working just fine a couple days ago.

I cant open the files when I download them and I don't know if its something I did or if its the game or my laptop I have an Avita and I downloaded both of the 32 and 64 files
Have you extracted them
can it work on chromebook because it works on linux if so how do you play it
first turn linux on. next, what version do you run?
I would like it if i could play as a single loner cat then join a clan or start my cat off as a rouge interactions with other clans that we own/ clan saves instead of random clans would be nice. they could be like on cat that can be us as a cat that we have more control over. like when we are pik clans cats we get to chose our player cat that we can edited coat eyes ex.. then we get to pick leader dep med ex...
1. suggestions are closed
2. that's not the type of game this is
you can make a clan and then exile/kill all but one cat to get a bit of a loner-starting-a-clan situation
Yeah some of my cats i had plans for like mate plans then they decide the not straight anymore its annoying i feel like they should not chnge sex on their on that should be for the player to decide what sex they want them to be
You can still make them have kits? There's no set sexuality for any of the cats, don't be stupid about it.
You can literally change their gender or change them back to their original gender by opening their "personal" tab...it's so annoying when people ask for updates or maps that are ALREADY ADDED
none of the cats are straight anyways...even if they're not trans, any of the cats can gain romantic like towards any other cat regardless of gender

I love this game, I played it when it first came out and I must say that it has improved so much!
I have a suggestion, that forbidden outside the clan relationships become a thing, I think it would be pretty awesome!
Yes!
For the online version, it's not loading for me. It just shows a blank blue screen. Anyone know why, and how to fix it?
U wait for a couple minutes then it'll load in
Suggestion: Can there be a way to simulate life in a Tribe like the Tribe of Rushing Water? Or a way to simulate life in a group like Scourge's or Darktails? Also, maybe StarClan's prophecies could also have an impact on the simulation?

WHY IS MY GIT HUB NOT WORKING *SHAKE* TELL MEEEEEEEEE
What do you mean GIT hub? I don't understand, but if you explain in more detail, I might be able to help you. Not sure, but I might.
Gib Hub is the online version I think. I also think they mean Gib Hub not Git Hub :1
It’s GitHub, it’s the dev version not online.
i download the zip folder, i extract it and i get this message:

im on windows and it does not have a "more info" option, it just has "close"
it says:

idk what it is tho im not that good with PCs
Which one are you trying to download? If it's Linux, you might need to go into settings and try turning Linux on, if not I don't know how to help other than make sure you downloaded the right one.
Hi, just wondering how to know if this game has had an update. Will I get an alert?
it says update instead of launch
Thanks, very grateful for your help.
No problem :D
wait, was this a joke?
this is for the people that play the online versio: if a cat dies on a patrol u can just reload the site (i have done this 2 times it works) (pls don't fix it) (i don't have the pc version so i don't know if it works) happy playing<3
hi, i was wondering if you could also add something like background music to the game. i loooooove your game <3
i have been thinking that too
I JUST LOST ALL OF MY PROGRESS AND I LOVED THE CATS I HAD! I WAS SAVING THE GAME EVERY FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT JUST RANDOMLY DELETED MY PROGRESS
so many hours wasted, I loved those cats so much
So sorry about what happened, but you didn't waste time-you had fun playing when you did at least. Are you playing online?
yeah
I know how you feel! My brothers tampered with my game files and I lost all my clans! We suffer together, but we must move on...
T^T
Hello! There has been an issue with my online version. Every time I've been on it recently, the loading screen just goes black. And before it did that, it would freeze if i pressed a button. Mind fixing this issue?
That happens to me as well
Me too
And me
yeah, me too.
I think lots of people are having that problem at the moment!
it happen to mine ;-;
I think, on the whole, you will be better of downloading the game. It does not work well on the online version, and it's not like you have to pay to download it!

Thanks.....But what file do I need to put into the new Clangen folder?
you need to remove the saves file from the old clangen folder and move it to the new one
for some reason its not letting me download. it keeps saying theirs a vires or something. im not sure.
My computer said it wasn't safe as well, but I got it working in the end by tapping more info and there was an option to run anyway. Not sure if this is the same issue you are having, but I hope it helps!
For me it said virus scan failed and I've done what people have said to do to fix it. It still doesnt work
I turned off my antivirus to try and see if I could actually download this, but it still said virus scan failed. People told me to turn off my antivirus to fix it, but as stated, I did and it was not fixed. I try to download this a lot and it always says virus scan failed.

Haven't played the game yet, but there's a python3/pygame webAssembler in development called pygbag
It won't work on the online version, when I try to select a terrain it freezes, when I try to switch clans it freezes, and when I skip a few moons it freezes up. I deleted all of my cats in the one clan that I can go into (big mistake) because I got bored and now I cant make a new clan.
o.m.f.g.
same with my first clan. Mine aren't ass much but there are a lot of them
XD yeah, but I was on the online version and now it's not working *sad*
Took a while, but I figured it out
how?
did ya do it on pc?
i cant open it so there is nothing to do
When you get so far into the game that you only have one cat left from your original 10 cats and their an elder and probably the oldest cat in the clan and will probably die soon.
(BTW If you're reading this, that cat of mine died a little bit later, just before my online version stopped working and I can't play *Cries*)
idea: add a "kill cat" option but we can choose a murderer to kill the cat they dislike for example Whitestar killed Moonfoot out of jealousy and bloodthirsty.
If you click "Kill cat" On a leader, does it take one life, or all? or is it random how many lives it takes?
it kills the leader instantly
I've been trying to timeskip one moon but it keeps logging me out, giving me this message:
I'm not really a coding expert so I'm unsure of how to fix this, the other clans that I've created do just fine though.
I've also tried restarting my computer but it won't work and I don't want to uninstall it to install it once more as I don't want to lose my progress.
I'm not sure if suggestions are needed, but I think that the mechanic of Gathering would be awesome, it can be like an instrument to improve or worse your relashionship with other clans and also to see some parts of the life of other clans.
This is just an idea which came to my mind and I thought I needed to write about it. Thank you a lot for your work, ClanGen is amazing! The ultimate instrument to write fanfics c:
I think that that would be fun too! I've not seen the word gathering even mentioned once!
i got on this online and i cant load in anymore its just on a black screen and the sides are blue it took me a very long time to get on that screen. im also on a chrom.OS so maybe thats why but it was working just fine a couple days ago.
Try resetting the site data.
ok just tried that still a black screen any other suggestions?
Try asking in the discord
they just said “ it may be out for a bit”
Damn
and it happened to my friend to
