I can't seem to get the download to work, I enjoy the online one but I want to try the download my comepeter is a elitebook 8470p any idea how I can get it
Hi Btw i adore clan gen! anyway I thought that a good feature might be not to allow cats to give newborn kits tasks it doesn't quite add up. Just a Suggestion!
Late comment I suppose, but if you are still having trouble im here to help. Click on whichever one you need to download for your device, and go to finder and go to applications. Open the download once ready, and it should open in your downloads finder. Double click on it, then it will tell you to move applications. Click and hold on the clan gen logo, then drag it to your applications folder wherever. Then once thats done drag it to your app folder thingy / where your backround is. Hope this helps.
Aa whenever I try to download the new update it just stays at 0/100 and when I close the application and try to open it again it shows a black screen :(
when I downloaded the game it wouldn't allow me to open it, I'm just wondering if its my computer or if I'm using the wrong download, my computer is an Avita and the downloads I chose were the 64 and 32 I tried them both out to see if I chose the wrong one the firs time
does anyone know how to transfer saves into new updates? i always have trouble with that (i use the Windows64 downloads idk if that's important to add)
Hi! I have a question, would it be possible to add the letter ä,ö,ü and ß to the game? I´m from germany and many of super cool names for cats include those letters, for example, lion is Löwe in german. So yeah it would be great to have them in game. Tysm for reading this, love your game <3
For those of you who want to play on Chromebooks out there, but doesn't like the web version, I'll just share some things that helped me run the game on Chromebook.
Have Linux on your chromebook enabled! This is required, as Linux holds some really powerful tools that you will need in order to actually play this game!
Install things like pygame with Linux! Go to the Github page for clangen, and find what is required to run it! A big one is Pygame! Make sure your Pygame, Python and whatever else Clangen requires to run is downloaded and up to date. If you don't know how to download things on Linux on your chromebook, go look it up, I'm not Google, you can do it yourself. The internet will also give you instructions on how to download these things too. It is also recommended to use something to run Clangen too, like IDLE. I think Thonny can probably run it too, idk.
Use the Github version of Clangen! More specifically, go to the branch with the latest officially release version on Itch.io. This version uses a .py file instead of a .exe file. .exe files cannot be run on Chromebooks, but .py can, with the help of Linux!
To run the .py file, use the command python3 main.py (which is the name of the file).
I dunno what else to put here, but if anyone else also runs clangen on Chromebooks with Linux, you can add some more stuff to my comment here. Also, I'm not a professional coder hackerman or anything like that. I just did all of this coding stuff to run clangen, lol. So uh... yeah.
Also, apparently the Linux versions can work too, but I haven't figured out how to get the Linux version running, oops-
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
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.

Hi Btw i adore clan gen! anyway I thought that a good feature might be not to allow cats to give newborn kits tasks it doesn't quite add up. Just a Suggestion!
hey Im new to itch.Io but I dont exactly know how to download it
Instructions can be found under "How Do I Download This" :)

hello! I'm on Mac and I cannot play as it says apple cannot check it for malicious software, any tips?
I’m new to itch.Io, how do I open the game?
I may be able to help if you're on Windows
I'm on Mac, and the game only worked for the first few minutes then it kicked me out. Now it doesn't wanna open anymore.
Edit: Nvm its working now
Aa whenever I try to download the new update it just stays at 0/100 and when I close the application and try to open it again it shows a black screen :(
How do you switch to the newer version? I'm on Mac and downloaded this, but it still takes me to the old version. Please help?
The clangen tumblr page made a tutorial that might help with that! You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ejcmQgrb1S3RPkg-uE74jEWumV-S3lbsLYOlAZiG8Uo/edit
Gah thank you! It's working now!
when I downloaded the game it wouldn't allow me to open it, I'm just wondering if its my computer or if I'm using the wrong download, my computer is an Avita and the downloads I chose were the 64 and 32 I tried them both out to see if I chose the wrong one the firs time
you can try the web version.
does anyone know how to transfer saves into new updates? i always have trouble with that (i use the Windows64 downloads idk if that's important to add)
edit: nvm i figured it out :P
Could you tell me how or where you found out how to do it because I also struggle with that?
well for this newest update there is an option in game to look at the save files so i just moved my old saves into there and boom it worked.
So in settings there is a button on the bottom left and opening that should take you to that place
i hope that helps whhwh
Hi! I have a question, would it be possible to add the letter ä,ö,ü and ß to the game? I´m from germany and many of super cool names for cats include those letters, for example, lion is Löwe in german. So yeah it would be great to have them in game. Tysm for reading this, love your game <3
there's definitely some translations for the game in the works!
will it show a cat's belly getting bigger when they are pregnant?
Probably not! But it is a good idea, so it could be added! But, you never know
is there a way to move files from one version to another on MacBooks?
The clangen tumblr page made a tutorial that might help with that! You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ejcmQgrb1S3RPkg-uE74jEWumV-S3lbsLYOlAZiG8Uo/edit

Also, apparently the Linux versions can work too, but I haven't figured out how to get the Linux version running, oops-
heres a simple Linux guide for Chromebook peeps I made:
ENABLE LINUX!!
Download whatever Linux version works on your chromebook. look it up I aint no google.
Go to the .zip and right click, hit extract all. Move the new 'Clangen' folder to your general downloads.
exit and right click said folder, hit 'open in terminal' and once the files load, type (case sensitive) ./Clangen.
it should be up and running! if problems, ask in the discord.
If anyone needs help downloading Clangen (dev or released) or mods on Windows, dm me on Discord or comment under here.
Discord: ✧ Caiden#5543
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.
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 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?

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.
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.

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!
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

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.
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
