March 2023 Update


New update for March 2023!

Thank you to all our contributors; if you are interested in hearing about updates as soon as possible or reporting bugs related to the new update, please join our discord. 


New Features:

- New white patches: MAO, CHESTSPECK, PAINTED, WINGS, and BLACKSTAR.
- Skin color now affects the inside of cats' ears.
- New nylon collars - plus indigo and white variants of all color types. 
- You can now delete saved clans on the Switch Clan Screen.
- New camp background: Grotto
- New fading effect. Previously, cats became more transparent as they got closer to fading. This has been replaced with a three-stage "unraveling" effect.
- Added many new kittypet and loner names.
- Grief system has been expanded to give more unique death reactions based on the trait and mate status of the living cat. 
- New backstories! - "Bee sting", "headache", and "severe headache" are now potential injuries. "Persistent headaches" have been added as a permanent condition.
- Lost cats can now return to the clan via moon events!
- Lost cats can now die randomly, rather than just from old age.
- New background for the Unknown Residence Screen.
- Kittypets, loners, and rogues have a chance to appear in the "Cats outside the Clan" tab. These cats have a chance to join the clan during patrols.
- Returning to the main menu or closing the game will now cause a pop-up window to appear, which will ask if you want to save your clan before proceeding.
- Lots of new patrol art!
- Added a setting to control the display of gore in patrol art. Gore is turned off by default.
- New patrols!
- Added a handful of new mediator moon events.
- If there are no warriors that have trained apprentices in the clan, a random warrior will be selected to be deputy. A special event text will be displayed for this situation.
- New scar system for patrols on Classic Mode.

Bugfixes:

- Previously, a bug was preventing patrol outcomes that rely on traits or skills. This bug has been fixed. This doubles the amount of accessible patrol outcomes!
- Allow more variety in tortie base colors, including ginger-on-ginger torties.
- Many new ceremonies, including special ceremonies for dead mentors and parents.
- The code for moon events has been rewritten to allow for more flexibility and utility.
- The limit on mediating has been reworked. Each mediator may mediate once per moon, rather than a global "one mediate per moon" limit. However, a single pair of cats can only be mediated between once per moon.
- Murder events are now affected by relationship values.
- Moon events regarding other clans now trigger based on your relation with the other clan.
- A variety of game-chances have been moved game_config.json, in the resources folder. This will allow players to more easily edit chances, if they desire.
- Star is no longer a possible prefix for clanborn cats.
- When a kittypet that has a multi-word name joins the clan, there is a chance for them to pick only one word from their previous name to use as their prefix.
- Cats who cannot work are no longer eligible mentors for new apprentices.
- Male tortie chance has been significantly lowered- they now occur at a similar rate to shinies in pokemon games.
- Affairs now work!
- Mediate will now correctly affect trust, romantic like, and platonic like.
- Mediators and mediator apprentices will no longer retire due to permanent conditions.
- Clicking on a cat on the family page will now take you to that cat's family page, allowing for easier scanning through family lines. You can still access their profile by shift-clicking.
- Reduced age at which cats fade to 202 moons.
- Chance to develop "Lasting Grief" has been reduced.
- And many other bugfixes!

IT STOPPED WORKING now every time I go to play I just get a black screen I just recovered from losing hours of progress and so many cats I loved and I go to play, it was working and now I go to continue playing and I have a black square were I’m supposed to have the game! Please fix this I’m not ready to lose my progress again!

do you know how you fixed it? Thats all I'm getting, and I just want to play the game.

Hey, could you add an ability to slide your preference of fading speed, Example, i wanna have cats fade in one moon, i put 1 in a little box for that.

how do i play the new update????????????????????

Click where is says "Download Now" and it will bring you to the main page (where you probably should be commenting and asking questions and stuff), click the link that fits your computer, extract the files, take the folder with all the game files out onto your desktop, open that, and look for the Clangen.exe program. Once you run that there might be a warning but just click "Show more" and then "Run anyway" and then it should be all good.

so I’m trying to do this and I got to the part were it says clangen.exe but it says something about Microsoft Windows and I didn’t get the warning, what do I need to do from here?

Hopefully I am thinking of what your problem is, but what I'm thinking is that the Microsoft Windows thing is some sort of virus scanner that thinks the file is a virus or something like that, even though it's not. I've only dealt with two virus scanners, one was a red box that says something about how the program isn't safe, in which case do the warning thing I said. But I think it's a built in virus scanner. Try click the search bar in the toolbar and type in "virus" and click "Virus & threat protection." After that, look under the part that says "Virus & threat protection settings" and click "Manage settings." Then turn off the real-time protection and quickly try to open the clangen.exe file. If you're not quick enough then the virus protection will turn back on again.

Sorry this is so long, I just wanna be specific. If you're still having problems then you should try asking again on the main page or the discord, you'll find more experienced people there, hope this helps! :]

I'm not gonna retype this but above your comment is your answer for letting you download. You should also start commenting on the main page and not the March 2023 update page, you are more likely to get an answer from people.
