I've been having this issue too, and I've tried these, and they didn't work. If you have anymore suggestions, please help, I don't wanna lose my saves forever
Hello! I think it would be really cool if we could change the pose of the adult cats. There are several of mine that i would love it if i could see their markings better. Thanks!
I think the poses depend on the length of the fur. because whenever I have long haired cats they always have that sideways tilt. And short haired cats have that sort of tail up - chin up pose.
Im struggling with the Windows version, i click the file go down to Clangen and when i try to go into the game it says Fatal error detected and that the specific modal could not be found, how do i fix this?
In that case I do not know. Maybe try the Discord? If you don't have it, there's Tumblr too. And if you don't have either, check YouTube for tutorials. Those are the only ideas I have for your problem.
I believe it is possible, but it depends on the event that caused them to become lost (And it might also vary between game modes? I always play on Expanded). Some events seem to send them directly to StarClan, others should add them to an "outside the clans" tab in the Cat List. There are rare events you can encounter while patrolling that will bring lost cats back into your clan sometimes :) I think they're very unusual to see, but I know some folks have had this happen.
It depends on the text you get when you lost your cat, I've had a single cat being taken three times and coming back after a few moons, while some of mine showed up in deaths & births, being sent to StarClan.
its not stupid! First you need Linux enabled, then download the Linux 2.31+ version! then open the .tar.xz file and run tar xz (the file) in Terminal, go to the new folder and run ~/Clangen/Clangen in terminal again!
Hi! I'm on a hp laptop and I'm having trouble opening the game could you give me some further instructions? I did everything you said it doesn't seem to work though also when I type 'tar xz' in the terminal it says error any tips? Thanks!
Sadly no, only one person (Blackfur) is woking in it and they are trying their hardest to get all the new updates in, so it takes time! Maybe try clearing site data, but youll also lose your clans.
I LOVE what you did with vengeful cats! idk if its new or not, but my vengeful leader mauled another cat for questioning their leadership. its a first time for me seeing it, but even if its not new I still love that their trait was acted upon!
Can you download it on a mobile apple device like im using my iPad Air or something and I can’t get it to download or where can i open it on my device?
For now, only one person (Blackfur) is woking in it and they are trying their hardest to get all the new updates in, so it takes time! Maybe try clearing site data, but youll also lose your clans.
Hey im trying to download the file yet it doesnt seem to be working for whatever reason. I tried both (64 and 32) But for some reason it didn't get to the end of the download everytime. I also checked if it was my internet being slow but it wasnt as well. I hope you'll provide an answer! :]
i am unsure of how to download this (using Windows). I click on the download button and it takes me to the file but I do not know what to do after that. Any help?
hello so every time i download the game i keep getting the main un handled exception error and idk how to fix it or if its something with the windows 64 downloader itself? thank you for your time :)
I haven’t played in sooooo long, I’m always stuck on a black screen! I’m on my ipad and I don’t have a laptop, is there any other way to get in without downloading the actual game?
unfortunately no as Blackfur is the only dev working to try and update it on python 2 as the official game runs on python 3. You can try clearing site data though, but youll lose your clans.
Howdy partner: there isn't technically a way to turn off cats transitioning nor will we ever add that to the game!
However if you want to set a cats gender, you can do so under the "PERSONAL" tab on the cats profile. There you can choose to do whatever you want to the cats gender!
Thanks, was just wondering, it just feels out of place in a game about cats. Also as a side note, wouldn't it be counter productive to be able to force them into genders? Having an option to disable them switching is basically jusy a streamlined option.
the majority of our team is queer, in some shape or form, and that's reflected in the game. none of us feel comfortable with any form of disallowing cats to transition, especially when there's a button to change them back to cisgender. it may not make sense to you, and that's ok, but it's something that's important to us
I feel like it isn’t counterproductive because of a few reasons.
1. These are clan cats, they are personified and very sentient, so it’s only realistic for them to question the gender role given to them at birth, obviously, it’s just a game, and it doesn’t need to be realistic, but it’s still a option that makes the game feel more real and makes each cat feel real as well. It’s not out of the ordinary for a person in real life to decide being male or female doesn’t sit right with them, so that is why it’s portrayed in the game to make the cats feel heavily personified :]
2. it doesn’t bother anything in the game. It’s not counterproductive, nor productive, it remains neutral and doesn’t effect gameplay at all. A cat deciding it wants to have “Tom’ instead of “She-cat” in its alliegance list does not affect gameplay and it is just a option for making people feel more accepted as trans identities become more well-known, and, I’d hate to say it, but it’s purely cosmetic and it’s not really a think that needs to be changed. It’s not bothersome, it’s not affecting gameplay, and it’s a really small change to the gameplay otherwise.
Overall having the transgender identities in the game makes queer players feel more accepted, and people who feel at discomfort about this need to just, politely, and put in the most lighthearted way, “Suck it up.” Because it’s not going to bother you if a pixelated cat decides it wants to be a different gender. And if you still cannot accept this even after the paragraphs I wrote, then that’s why there’s a “change gender” option for if you would like to change it back to the original gender.
I noticed this is a really old comment but I’d still like to reply on it so you can understand why the trans identities thing is important and should not be removed due to your discomfort over a cat game :]
I've gotten the Error "Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception: list index out of range" I've checked and I couldn't find the Main.py file? Not sure if this is an error on my part or not, I freshly installed 3 times from the win64 zip.
You know where you can play video games and it'll show on your discord profile like "playing Skyrim for 10:34"? It does that, but with Clangen! It'll just show on your profile that you're on the pixel kitty game <3
The game is progressing so good and I love the new kit sprites! One thing I would love is a map around twoleg place. Instead of being taken by a hawk it could be that they were taken by a twoleg, cats could get run over from monsters and more! Not to rush as well, but is there and idea of when the cruel season will be coming out? I'm super exited for it!
I think they already added cats getting taken by two-legs, they fall for some trap on border patrol and get taken away by two-legs. Also cats can get run over by monsters when crossing the thunderpath while theyre on hunt patrol.
hiya! Whenever I try to play the web version it says “error occurred: unexpected keyword: ‘import’” so I'm wondering if this is able to be fixed or I just need to play a different version
I have a great idea that might add to the game more. What if we had a option to choose an accessory for your cats? It would be a tab underneath the "personal" tab. Just if you wanted to add more story to your characters. You could also change an accessory if you wanted a different accessory or didn't want one anyway. (This also is a chance to add more of the accessories to the game) :)
I don't believe that is planned or is going to be an aspect of the game, unfortunately! We on the team do want ClanGen to be more of a generator that a doll dress up game, so as for now the only way your cats will be able to get accessories will be by gaining them randomly in moon events <3
For the new update, how do I transfer my old clan files? It doesn’t update them automatically for me and even when I moved them to the “saves” item, nothing has been listed.
The web version is currently being updated! That problem is known about and attempting to be fixed by those working on the web version though, don't worry! :)
I would love it if we could change the cat colors in expanded mode in a future update! I really want some more customization that isn't entirely randomized! This game makes clan making so fun!
As far as I know (I'm not a dev), the devs have gone on to say this is not something that's planned. People on the discord have, however, modded cat creators, and you should go there to browse them and learn how to edit your files.
i don't know how to open the game on chromebook, i've tried downloading it but i'm not sure how to take it from a download file in my folder to a working, running game. can anybody help?
download the zip and use extract all go into files and go into the extracted file and scroll till you find something called clangen its an application, open that and your done
On classic mode cats who go into shock seem to just, stay in shock? And it always displays as "been sick for 1 moon" even if they have been in shock for 6 and on expanded mode they heal after 1 time skip so I think it s bug
I do not play on mac, but you would have to go into the code by clicking the directory button in the bottom left in the settings screen. You then just have to locate the linked files, pull them into a file editor, and rename each instance of the clan name and rename the files themselves to match.
Can someone help me on how to download this? im on an ipad and have never really downloaded any game from this website. I have the files downloaded but idk how to activate the game
Hello, im using the online version and it seems to appear that i am stuck on a black screen? I was using it yesterday night and it seemed to be working just fine! Could you pls help?
This happens with new tabs of the Github clangen. If you have a mac, or whatever this is available on, I recommend downloading it. Otherwise it will have to be updated to fix. (Im not a developer, this just happens to me and clangen friends)
Similar to this, but i believe we have spoken about not wanting to add any mental ailments to clangen, just out of respect and not wanting to misinterpret or display them in a wrong light. We also do want to keep ClanGen pretty open to the player's creativity, so rigid traits like this likely aren't going to be a thing :) Clangen also isn't open to suggestions at the moment so please keep that in mind, thank you.
Whenever I leave the game and close my files, then go to start it up again, it says: "Error, python38.dll cannot be found" I have to extract all the files and then start it up for it to work, why does this happen? Its annoying!!!

Three ideas:
1. Make sure it's the download for your computer.
2. Try re-downloading and moving the data into the game.
3. Try opening it through files.
I've been having this issue too, and I've tried these, and they didn't work. If you have anymore suggestions, please help, I don't wanna lose my saves forever
yeah, I've tried those already several times and waited 3 days now and it still doesnt work even though it did a day before the error first popped up

I think the poses depend on the length of the fur. because whenever I have long haired cats they always have that sideways tilt. And short haired cats have that sort of tail up - chin up pose.
there are differnt poses for each fur length though
lol yeah. I legit just glanced at my clan and listed two.
you can change cat's poses through savefile editing
Im struggling with the Windows version, i click the file go down to Clangen and when i try to go into the game it says Fatal error detected and that the specific modal could not be found, how do i fix this?
Is your computer a Windows? You could also try using the 32bit
Yes, it is Windows and i tried both
In that case I do not know. Maybe try the Discord? If you don't have it, there's Tumblr too. And if you don't have either, check YouTube for tutorials. Those are the only ideas I have for your problem.
When you lose cats (say to TwoLegs taking them) is there a chance you may find them/they will find their way back or are they just lost forever?
They, I think, are dead, like if you look in the star clan tab, you should see them there.
They can come back through timeskip events.
I believe it is possible, but it depends on the event that caused them to become lost (And it might also vary between game modes? I always play on Expanded). Some events seem to send them directly to StarClan, others should add them to an "outside the clans" tab in the Cat List.

I'm on a chrombook, I downloaded the game. How do I open it to play? Sorry if this sounds stupid, this is my first time on this website.
It does not work on Chomebook sadly, but the web version does
its not stupid! First you need Linux enabled, then download the Linux 2.31+ version! then open the .tar.xz file and run tar xz (the file) in Terminal, go to the new folder and run ~/Clangen/Clangen in terminal again!
Hi! I'm on a hp laptop and I'm having trouble opening the game could you give me some further instructions? I did everything you said it doesn't seem to work though also when I type 'tar xz' in the terminal it says error any tips? Thanks!
hmm, if youre on an hp laptop youll probably need one of the windows versions. Look it up on how to run if you need more help.
anytime i try to go on the online version i’m met with a black screen, is there anything i can do to fix it?
Sadly no, only one person (Blackfur) is woking in it and they are trying their hardest to get all the new updates in, so it takes time! Maybe try clearing site data, but youll also lose your clans.
I LOVE what you did with vengeful cats! idk if its new or not, but my vengeful leader mauled another cat for questioning their leadership. its a first time for me seeing it, but even if its not new I still love that their trait was acted upon!
i cant open it and the oneline version doesnt work
What are you doing to open it?
Big shoutout to the artist who made the newborn kitten sprite, it's so cute and I absolutely adore it
On the discord server, they refer to newborn kittens as potats :)
Can you download it on a mobile apple device like im using my iPad Air or something and I can’t get it to download or where can i open it on my device?
No, sorry! You can try the web version though :)
Every time I open the online version I'm greeted with a black and gray screen where the title screen never loads. Help?
same idk what to do
For now, only one person (Blackfur) is woking in it and they are trying their hardest to get all the new updates in, so it takes time! Maybe try clearing site data, but youll also lose your clans.
IT WORKED !! Thank you so much !!! I've been trying to figure that out for months
no problem!! so glad it worked ;)

What happens when it doesn't get to the end? It seems to be working fine for me.
Did you download the version for your computer? (btw if you are on chromebook it will not work
i am unsure of how to download this (using Windows). I click on the download button and it takes me to the file but I do not know what to do after that. Any help?
This is what I do. I extract the file, click the file, click the 'Clangen' folder, and then scroll down until you see the Clangen exe file
hello so every time i download the game i keep getting the main un handled exception error and idk how to fix it or if its something with the windows 64 downloader itself? thank you for your time :)
It does not work on mobile, but the web version might!

What is the discord setting for????
The one that says enable discord intergration
You know where you can play video games and it'll show on your discord profile like "playing Skyrim for 10:34"? It does that, but with Clangen! It'll just show on your profile that you're on the pixel kitty game <3

I wasn't aware of the in game update and deleted my entire game like we used to have to do. Lemme just go cry.
this is all great but how do I log onto the game on mobile i dont know where to log on from
you can't play officially ClanGen on mobile, sorry! You can try the web version, though! <3
hiya! Whenever I try to play the web version it says “error occurred: unexpected keyword: ‘import’” so I'm wondering if this is able to be fixed or I just need to play a different version
how do i fix this error

I was playing clangen, then it said one of my cats were expecting kits. I realized that cat was a male. Males can't have kits?
It might be a bug
Do you have the settings that allows Same-sex cats to have kit?
no
Might be a bug but I would go ask the discord server
i think your cat went trans without you noticing!
This completely slipped my mind! But wouldn't the cat still be unable to have kits?
For the new update, how do I transfer my old clan files? It doesn’t update them automatically for me and even when I moved them to the “saves” item, nothing has been listed.
ive been using the online vers but now its just a black screen when i open it, how do i get it to work?

Could you maybe make it work on Python DLL I really wanna play but I can't
i don't know how to open the game on chromebook, i've tried downloading it but i'm not sure how to take it from a download file in my folder to a working, running game. can anybody help?
download the zip and use extract all go into files and go into the extracted file and scroll till you find something called clangen its an application, open that and your done
if you get any other problems read the stuff over the downloads as I prolly dont know how to fix it or explain it
