Idk what to do, whenever i go onto files and do all the stuff to work clangen, it doesnt let me go INTO the game, I keep clicking it but nothing happens, it worked for me in the past though
i had this exact same issue !! try downloading it from the actual itch browser app and search clangen and download it that way!! download the window file still tho
Hello! I’ve been having difficulty playing the web version for this game. It is very zoomed in and I can’t zoom out and have to scroll just to make my clan. None of the in-game settings fixes this. I have tried playing on pc and iPad but it is zoomed in either way. I sadly can’t download the non-online version due to the pc not being mine. Is there anyway to fix this? I very much want to play this as last year the web version worked and now it wont. Both of my friends are able to play the web perfectly fine. ;-;
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.
I have quite a few cats in my clan that have been hurt for moons now, and when I look at how long they've been hurt/sick for it says -20 moons. After 20 moons it goes away and the cat becomes better but I'm confused as to why this is happening to my cats. It can be pretty annoying. Especially when it's a cat like the leader, deputy or medicine cat.
Ok I don't think there's anything we can really do to stop it from happening, but you can manually remove the conditions in save files if it gets annoying
**IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE DOWNLOADING OR OPENING THE GAME**
please join the discord server instead of commenting on this page! we have tech support. you should get a much faster and more efficient response than you will here. https://discord.gg/clangen
If you ABSOLUTELY MUST comment here (for instance, you don't have discord and can't get it): -list your operating system (Mac, Windows, Linux?) -what issue are you having? did it give you some kind of error? -any other info you might have on the problem?
Literally anything is better than "help, it doesn't work!"
I am having trouble downloading and accessing the game, i am on an HP chrome and cannot find any download for it. if i could get a response that would be great, if not, its whatever. thank you! :)
I love this game but is there a reason that I never get calicos/ torties? No matter what I do, they are so rare! Out of ~120 cats (my biggest clan) only 3 are torties/ calicos. Is that normal or do I need to do something special to get them?
I extraced it it's telling me to extract it again and if I press run it gives me the warning, i press run anyway and it shows a error I'm using an hp I need help bc I have no idea what I'm supposed to do ab this the error message is the image..
yeah this happens a lot for itch.io games, what you do is click 'OK' then go to settings, security and privacy, and it should say something like 'clangen could be malicious, would you still like to open' and just click open (also this is for my mac I'm not 100% sure it'll work for you tho)
On Mac it says I can't play because 'the software needs to be updated'. Is there a way to have the computer let me play or do I just need to try and find a new device to play it on??
Awesome! My laptop gets here tomorrow, I'm so excited! I saw a lot about the discord in the comments, anyway I can join that?? I might be slow but I can't figure it out ^w^ Thanks sooo much for the reply, I was worried since the last update was a long time ago
I keep getting this weird error every time that I try to open up Clangen on Linux using a chromebook. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
Clangen is already installed, running it...

Hello! I am using a windows computer that I got for christmas and lost a few braincells due to the excitement from (/JK). It sadly will not run/download properly for my computer. I have a desktop windows. The github version does work, though! I'd like to have this fixed- others do, too. If you're a bit too busy, lack motivation, or really just don't wanna fix the issue, I really don't care. Please take your time!
So I downloaded The Clangen Mac IOS Version,And I did everything it asked and when I go to launch the game its says "The game Needed to be Updated".So I don't really know what to do bc it says contact the Dev so the game can be updated.
It says The game was updated 74 days ago so idk if it needs to be updated again or not?
Hi! I have a suggestion that could be helpful: Having a section where we can see the relations to the 'other clans', as I often forget what my clan's relations are to others..
i think that more things to influence clan relations is coming in the next update.. There was a sneak peak on the clangen tumblr of a possible addition :)
coming from someone who is an official beta tester, I have seen nothing of this, and I can't find the post you're referring to, so I expect this is false
web version can unfortunately be a bit unreliable and prone to this sort of breaking. We have a few potential solutions to this (copy-pasted from the discord):
What you can do to fix it:
1. Make sure the website isn't down: The website should go to a 404 page upon a contributor attempting to push any update of the sorts.
2. Try leaving the site: because there might be a lot of people trying to get in. Just exiting out of the website for a while might help boot up the page upon re-entering. You might have to wait 30~ minutes, but it should be the first thing you retry.
3. Convert your save: If you have an older version of your saves, which predates the update of 12/25/2022, you might have to convert your save to the new save-file format. Use https://clangen-web.github.io/convert.html to convert, then refresh or completely exit out of the website.
4. Use a different browser: Some websites can only work for some browsers. Change your browser to see if it works.
5. Use an incognito tab: Sometimes it works if you make your tab incognito
6. Clear your Cache: This should be a final resort if all else fails, clearing your cache completely deletes all save data:
hello! I'm wondering if we can have mental illness as a condition in game, such as depression, adhd, anxiety and so on, kits that grow up without their birth parents by their side or were adopted into the clan would be more likely to have these conditions, they could struggle with relationships, or get into a toxic relationship, such as distancing their mates, lashing out at their mates, but wanting to be close to them still (borderline personality disorder). It could be made like the grieving process, when the cat with these condition are being well taken care of (like patrolling together, mediating)by their loved ones, they would recover from it. I think it would be interesting to see cats struggling with their issues, and eventually overcome them!
Hello! I have a suggestion, maybe you could add the ability to bring back dead cats? Even if they come back as a kit with a different name but it's still them. I think It'd be a cool feature, also my medicine cats keep getting mates even though it's against the warrior code for them to do so, I normally break them up right away but it's a bit annoying.
Hey can you please change it for the Linux files you don't have to open a zip to install? I'm using a chromebook and accessing hidden Linux files is not working for me, it would be simple if you didn't have to do that
Has there been a fix to relationships so breakups aren't happening so frequently? It would make sense if the pair had poor standing with each other but half the time it's cats with maxed feelings.
Hi! I love this game but I play it on my laptop (I don't know if this is a problem) and it won't install the new update past 54.4%. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, I noticed there hasn't been an update in 94 days. I was wondering if that was for other people too or just me?
Yeah, there just hasn't been a main version update in a while
This is still getting updated, just not super frequently
Idk what to do, whenever i go onto files and do all the stuff to work clangen, it doesnt let me go INTO the game, I keep clicking it but nothing happens, it worked for me in the past though
what OS are you on? Mac? Windows?
Windows 11
Try redownloading the game and see if the issue persists? Make sure you're extracting things properly and opening the right thing
Yep I tried that, but it still doesnt open
Huh- I'm not sure what to tell you in that case. I'd suggest joining the discord for help if you can?
i had this exact same issue !! try downloading it from the actual itch browser app and search clangen and download it that way!! download the window file still tho
are you trying the zipped verson or the unzipped? you have to extract the files from the zip.

Try resizing your window to a square/rotating your iPad vertical?
For the pc i have resized the window but haven’t tried playing it verticle on ipad.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

After 20 moons it goes away and the cat becomes better but I'm confused as to why this is happening to my cats. It can be pretty annoying. Especially when it's a cat like the leader, deputy or medicine cat.
this is a bug I'm pretty sure
are you on classic or expanded mode?
I'm in expanded mode.
Ok
I don't think there's anything we can really do to stop it from happening, but you can manually remove the conditions in save files if it gets annoying

nah, you don't need to do anything special; they're just a bit rarer
just bad rng :/
just played it and i liked it a lot... 10 stars out of 10
I extraced it it's telling me to extract it again and if I press run it gives me the warning, i press run anyway and it shows a error I'm using an hp I need help bc I have no idea what I'm supposed to do ab this the error message is the image..
Could you possibly add interclan romances where there can be mates and kits? Just think it may make it more realistic.
if you turn on "allow cats to have kittens with an unknown second parent" you'll get half-clan kits occasionally
the team isn't really accepting suggestions right now- this one's already in the pile related to other clans.
For some reason it doesn't work on mac (idk I've never played this game before)
yeah this happens a lot for itch.io games, what you do is click 'OK' then go to settings, security and privacy, and it should say something like 'clangen could be malicious, would you still like to open' and just click open (also this is for my mac I'm not 100% sure it'll work for you tho)
Thank you I managed to get it to work :)
How do i play it i downloaded it and extracted it?
click the file named clangen.exe, if you cant find it download it again
There's A YouTube On How To Download The Game :
it let me download it, but it wont let me open it as a game because it keeps itself as a file so i dont know what to open to play the game??
have you extracted it?
i have now. What do i do after
nevermind i got it. Thank you
how am i able to extract it? sorry, i just so happened to roll along this... hope you understand! <:D
generally right click > extract
On Mac it says I can't play because 'the software needs to be updated'. Is there a way to have the computer let me play or do I just need to try and find a new device to play it on??
Try redownloading it becasue it worked for me and im using catalina
nothing actually needs to be updated, it's mac's built in antivirus falsely flagging it
try right click opening your game? (control click if you can't right click)
what happened to the game that can update itself? I had it at one point, but I accidentally deleted it and now I can't find it again...
If you're having trouble updating I'd suggest redownloading
The newest version should be able to update without redownloading!
just wondering when hard mode is coming out?
we don't know! currently it's planned to be worked on once Expanded is finished
I just got a laptop purely to play this game, is it still active/being worked on? Or is there anything else like it? Thanks
Yes! It is.
Awesome! My laptop gets here tomorrow, I'm so excited! I saw a lot about the discord in the comments, anyway I can join that?? I might be slow but I can't figure it out ^w^ Thanks sooo much for the reply, I was worried since the last update was a long time ago
https://discord.gg/clangen
if that doesn't work, there should be a discord link on the itch.io page- I think it's near the bottom
I cant download halppp
Did you ever fix it? Just bought a laptop to play this
Nvm its oki!!
how do i play this? i downloaded it only shows me the file names, and not the home screen. i'm on windows 11 at the moment.
make sure you extracted it, then look around in the files for clangen.exe? then open that
How do i play this game?
what OS is your computer on? Windows, Mac, other?
Im on mobile
the game isn't available on mobile, sorry
you can still play web version, but it's not being maintained right now, so kinda buggy
Oh okay

If you're a bit too busy, lack motivation, or really just don't wanna fix the issue, I really don't care. Please take your time!
sorry I'm kinda late, I missed your post
what kind of error/issue did you get when running/downloading? this is most likely on your end and not ours
what OS is your computer on? Windows, Mac, other?
clangen deez nuts together
I have a little question, it might seem obvious but, how do I update Clangen? Do I eliminate it and then re-install it?
on most platforms you can update via a button on the main menu of your game
if that isn't working, you can redownload from here or from https://clangen.io/download
Has cruel season come out? would it be in an update for the game or would i have to redownload it?
No, cruel season is not out yet.
Is this being updated ever ?
Yes, clangen is still being updated, just not super frequently.
So I downloaded The Clangen Mac IOS Version,And I did everything it asked and when I go to launch the game its says "The game Needed to be Updated".So I don't really know what to do bc it says contact the Dev so the game can be updated.

Hi! I have a suggestion that could be helpful: Having a section where we can see the relations to the 'other clans', as I often forget what my clan's relations are to others..
yeah this is a good idea
some kind of leader's den screen has been a vague idea for a long time, so maybe this would fit nicely into that...
i think that more things to influence clan relations is coming in the next update.. There was a sneak peak on the clangen tumblr of a possible addition :)
coming from someone who is an official beta tester, I have seen nothing of this, and I can't find the post you're referring to, so I expect this is false
It was on discord I think over a month ago and it was just a single screenshot and there hasn't been any follow-up, so it might be coming eventually.
this is all that shows up when I click the mobile link for clangen. Anyone know what’s going on?

I think it would be interesting to see cats struggling with their issues, and eventually overcome them!
There is a mod that has mental illnesses like bpd, adhd, and depression. It's the Disorders and Disabities mod.
oh thank you! i didnt know this game has mods
Yah there is a mod that like your cats have wings I think 🤔
Yeah! I have that mod.
do you know where I could download that? I don’t have discord to find any mods
I'm not 100% sure, but you can probably find it on github.

Is the 68 days go update new ? I haven't been here in AGES
My last update was the Halloween one
If the latest version of the game on your device was the halloween update, then yes, this one's new.
there hasn't been a major update since Halloween, so this is probably just a patch or something
May as well update anyway, just in case :P
Has there been a fix to relationships so breakups aren't happening so frequently? It would make sense if the pair had poor standing with each other but half the time it's cats with maxed feelings.
Help! I cant full screen ):
back to killing kits.please help! ):there should be an option to fullscreen in your game settings
if that doesn't work then idk
Thank you sooooo much! It worked ^W^
Hi! I love this game but I play it on my laptop (I don't know if this is a problem) and it won't install the new update past 54.4%. Does anyone know how to fix this?
You might not have enough space on your laptop to download the full update
That might be it Thanks!
I'd suggest redownloading the game if it gets stuck updating. You won't lose saves as they are stored separately.
I really like this game and also my cat. Can I use the cat pictures inside as my OC? I won't use it for profit。
So long as you don't claim the sprite as your own or sell it, you can use it as an OC. Best to credit Clangen if you're using the sprites.
