If you use windows this should be helpfull for you
Hey! First thing you'll want to do here is unzip the file package, you can usually do this on windows with a simple right click and the extract all option should show up, once that's done, open the file and scroll down till you see the clan gen logo with the name, "Clan Gen" Next to it, click that and you'll be good to go!
i play on a chromeos, whenever i attempt to play the game,a black screen shows up and it doesnt load. it worked perfectly before, i dont know what happened.
can anyone help me with this?? I clicked download for all four types separately, but I don't know how to open/access it. what do I do after the download?
I think I just figured it out! You download all the files, then extract them (or unzip) and then look for a little icon that is called CATGEN and looks like a cat's face. Clicking on this opens the game. Hope this helps.
Yeah, you unzip the zipped folder, then look for the "clangen.exe" program and double click it. This will start the game. You can not start the game if the "clangen.exe" isn't in the unzipped folder, so if you don't want to have to open the folder every time, look up a tutorial on how to make a shortcut on your computer, it's to hard to explain with text. Hoped this helped!
I'm confused. Every time I try to download it doesn't show up main. I've done everything properly and have even watched a YouTube tutorial and it won't work. Just me? I've also tried doing the 32-bit too. Still won't work.
is the game available on a HP w2207h because that is the only computer i have and i can't tell if I am downloading it wrong or I am using a computer that isn't available?
(EDIT) I even tried the web version but its not loading.
(EDIT#2) it says entry point not found by the way and I don't know what to do
After doing a search, I believe your computer should use the Windows downloads, probably the 64-bit one, but idk what the difference is between the 64-bit and the 32-bit. You should then unzip the file, and inside the unzipped one, look for the program "clangen.exe" Double click that to play the game, but it won't work if you take it out of the folder. To not have to always open the file to play, look up how to make a shortcut. Hope this helped!
it can be hard to make downloadable games for chromebook, however there is a web version, its not exactky teh same as download but yeah https://clangen-web.github.io/
when i press that link it just shows a black screen for a hour but i clear my data but it still dont work maybe can u try fix and also im using a chromebook bell
I have an idea, what if the creator adds that we can team up with other clans when we go to war with another clan, that we can also choose who we go to war with, and that we get death descriptions from the cats who died during the war in the 'births and deaths' area. Will not be upset if you decide to not do it.
I am trying to load the game on my pc, and I have done before with it working, but now this is all I get? I’ve tried loading it again and restarting my pc but nothings working.
Fun Fact: Molly Murder Mittens is an actual cat. She belongs to the owner of Gold Shaw Farm, a youtube channel and lives as a barn cat. I'm not sure if the devs are aware of this, but it could be that you have the possibility to find YouTuber's cats in the game.
Hey developer, I would like to ask a favor, could you possibly make a version compatible with HP chromebooks perhaps? I just want one so I can do it with my friends, since they have windows. If not, that is fine since I am saving up for a windows. Have a great day!
the lines tell you how the personalities of both cats complement each other! the wavy lines mean compatible, the straight is indifferent/neutral, and the jagged is incompatible.
There is a web version! If you check just some cats tumblr, they have a listed github version you can play on! I use it and it works, sadly, we dont have the updates the PC players have.
yup! if they don't realize what they are they can try to gather them thinking they're a useful plant and then accidentally chew on them. I've had a few cats die that way.
Ever since the new update, it doesn't let me play the game. I tried to contact someone through discord but no one answered so I'm posting it here because maybe some good soul will help me. :')
Whenever I click to open it (on the itch.io app) another window pops out, saying that there was some unhandled exception. I'm not a coder or a pc person so I have no idea what to do.
The pop-up window says: "Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception: 'cp950' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 10165: illegal multibyte sequence."
English isn't my first language and I need some help. :sob:
See, I love this game. The only problem I have is that for me, i downloaded the game and it took up nearly 4 GB of storage. It just takes up way too much.
does anyone know how to fix the web ver? im on chromebook and had saved lasttime i played, but now its just black ang grey, i saw some other are having probs but theres a sollution on the discord, but i dont have discord idk what to do?
what browser are you using? it might be that the game is not compatible with your browser. for me, it works fine on google chrome but not at all with firefox - if you're already using google chrome, you could also try opening the game on a different browser and see if that fixes it :) i hope this was helpful
EDIT: i figured it out! someone posted the convert link, and it works now! ty for ur help
Im on chrome i think, i really dont know browsers well sadly, i cant change browsers since my chromebook is controlled by my school :( is there any othe way to fix w/o disc or? sorry if my text is confusinf
So like, I wanna download it but when I press ANY of the download buttons it just kind of doesn't do anything, like it doesn't download at all. I'm on Windows 10 if that helps at all
Edit: I was finally able to download and play it. the problem may have been caused by my pc being so new and all
Im trying to download but there is no tutorial for mac ios here and on youtube. so i dont know what to do. the website goes black and doesnt finish loading please anytime the game updates update the website
So I'm trying to download this to my mac but every time I try this pops up
"“Clangen” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." "This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information."
Are you able to mess with your safety settings? .exe games do often get flagged regardless of safety and sometimes you have to go into system settings to fix stuff

if I kill a leader does it drain all their lives, or just one? mine hurt a clanmate for disagreement and I want to punish him :)
he did it again. I killed him, it drains all remaining lives.
but then I sent him to the Dark Forest, so whoopee!
Same happened to me. Got an evil leader and sent em to the Dark Forest
How do I actually play it? I can't find the way to start it.
Edit: nvm i noticed the download links
Edit 2: Now i actually can't find how to start it ;_;
If you use windows this should be helpfull for you

I'm currently using my chromebook. I've downloaded the files but can't figure out how to unzip them.
what you do is click the file and select 'extract'.
I GOT THE WEBSITE VERSION
please do not yell at people for trying to assist you.
I have a clan from the previous download, how do i transfer them to this update..? (i have a mac)
So u look at the clan list and put the name of an old clan of yours. Idk if this is right tho i don’t remember how I did it very well.
i play on a chromeos, whenever i attempt to play the game,a black screen shows up and it doesnt load. it worked perfectly before, i dont know what happened.
same here
I might be doing this wrong but when I click download it just downloads the old version. Could someone help me download the new version?
can anyone help me with this?? I clicked download for all four types separately, but I don't know how to open/access it. what do I do after the download?
I'm in the same boat. Downloaded on PC. I can open all the files but not "right click" or figure out how to get the game installed/running. Help!
I think I just figured it out! You download all the files, then extract them (or unzip) and then look for a little icon that is called CATGEN and looks like a cat's face. Clicking on this opens the game. Hope this helps.
alright, I'll see if this can do anything!
Yeah, you unzip the zipped folder, then look for the "clangen.exe" program and double click it. This will start the game.

Gotta love getting an evil leader and sending them to the dark forest when they die, yay.
is there an approximate date of when cruel seson is supposed to come out?
pls fix this :,)
do you need to have a python interpreter?? Also, does this game have something for chromeOS?
chromeOS does have a website version! although now it's not really working... https://clangen-web.github.io/
i have a question: can lost cats ever be found or come back?
Not yet but soon :)
I'm confused. Every time I try to download it doesn't show up main. I've done everything properly and have even watched a YouTube tutorial and it won't work. Just me? I've also tried doing the 32-bit too. Still won't work.
Did you update this for macbooks?
is the game available on a HP w2207h because that is the only computer i have and i can't tell if I am downloading it wrong or I am using a computer that isn't available?
(EDIT) I even tried the web version but its not loading.

AHHHH i love this game sm!
can you make it available for chromebook
it can be hard to make downloadable games for chromebook, however there is a web version, its not exactky teh same as download but yeah https://clangen-web.github.io/
when i press that link it just shows a black screen for a hour but i clear my data but it still dont work maybe can u try fix and also im using a chromebook bell

I am trying to load the game on my pc, and I have done before with it working, but now this is all I get? I’ve tried loading it again and restarting my pc but nothings working.
Yea I have the same problem, I had it working but even since the new update its not working!
I had to clear my data, maybe you might also
theres a fix!! the converter ( https://clangen-web.github.io/convert.html ) you need to press the convert some times, i hopw it works!!
Hey dev, just wondering is the game meant to save when i close it if so, it's not working for me and i keep losing my clan due to the glitch
Not exactly- I mean if you hit the Clan button there is litterally a save button
it's not meant to save when you close no, hence why there's a save button (and an option to autosave every few moons)
So I am just playing the game and a loner joins my clan and their name is FRITOFALL. LIKE THE CHIPS FRITOS. LMAO
I had on called Murder Minnie Mittens or something like that xD
Lol, thats funny. I also got a cat named "Old Man Jenkins" in the current version and a cat named "EvilFaceNeedle" in the old version
My cat in the new versions name is L/speck
Also, your cat was most likely named Molly Murder Mittens, I had a cat named that too but I renamed them to Morrowheart
Fun Fact: Molly Murder Mittens is an actual cat. She belongs to the owner of Gold Shaw Farm, a youtube channel and lives as a barn cat. I'm not sure if the devs are aware of this, but it could be that you have the possibility to find YouTuber's cats in the game.
Interesting
my loner cat just joined and their name was ''McChickenpaw
I once had one called Kitty Catfern join my clan lol
Hey developer, I would like to ask a favor, could you possibly make a version compatible with HP chromebooks perhaps? I just want one so I can do it with my friends, since they have windows. If not, that is fine since I am saving up for a windows. Have a great day!
there is a web version, its not the same as teh game but it works! https://clangen-web.github.io/
I got it on my new windows I got for my birthday.
How does the mate system work may i ask? what does the straight, wavy and pointy lines mean?
the lines tell you how the personalities of both cats complement each other! the wavy lines mean compatible, the straight is indifferent/neutral, and the jagged is incompatible.
ohhhh okay thank you!
Is that a thing? i havent seen those thing..
maybe you haven’t updated? i’m playing on the downloaded version too, so maybe it doesn’t exist on the web browser? i’m not sure, unfortunately
im on the web, maybe thats why
Hey, Is this ever going to be out on Acer Chromebook or android? The game looks SO good, but I hate that I can only watch it rather than play
There is a web version! If you check just some cats tumblr, they have a listed github version you can play on! I use it and it works, sadly, we dont have the updates the PC players have.
Also, this page says that unless Python 2 updates then the dev won't be able to port this game to mobile, something like that.
But Ive got one recomendation... Maybe put a starter in the dark forrest?
you can always exile your starter starclan cat to the df. If you don't want your entire clan there, then you can just exile the first cat that dies
Wait theres a df?? or is that download only (i use web)
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!!! TYSM FOR REALISING THIS!!!!!
wait there was a new update?
Just wondering, but can your cat actually eat the deathberries while on patrol?
yup! if they don't realize what they are they can try to gather them thinking they're a useful plant and then accidentally chew on them. I've had a few cats die that way.
Is there a way to play without downloading it?
yes, there is a web version at https://clangen-web.github.io
OMG TYSM!!! i play on tablet and the web version is perfect!
I play on Chromebook and it works for me too!!
Does it take awhile to load for you? Or just me cuz I'm on acer chrome book
hey, is it just me or is it not loading on a black screen?
Have you already played on it before? If so, then you need to clear the data.
Ever since the new update, it doesn't let me play the game. I tried to contact someone through discord but no one answered so I'm posting it here because maybe some good soul will help me. :')

Have you meddled with ANYTHING, other than unzipping the file and clicking the game?
Nope. All I've done is re-install the game a few times and tried different versions (32 and 64).
Have you unzipped it?
i'm on windows and it isn't working even when i go into file explorer. help please!
See, I love this game. The only problem I have is that for me, i downloaded the game and it took up nearly 4 GB of storage. It just takes up way too much.

Okay so I really want to play the game after watching youtubers do it. I'm on a Cromebook and cant figure out how to get on the game. Help plz!

Edit: I was finally able to download and play it. the problem may have been caused by my pc being so new and all
I got an email saying you updated earlier and I was wondering if theres a changelog? like whatd you change/fix? 😸

Im trying to download but there is no tutorial for mac ios here and on youtube. so i dont know what to do. the website goes black and doesnt finish loading please anytime the game updates update the website

"“Clangen” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." "This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information."
And I don't know whats going on
