ClanGen

ClanGen is a fan game originally created by just-some-cat on Tumblr

Welcome to the ClanGen itch.io page! ClanGen is a game that lets you generate a Clan and then follow their story as it unfolds, perhaps influencing some of their decisions along the way. With, quite literally, millions of unique cat appearances to generate, multiple biomes and camps to live within, and hundreds of events to discover, ClanGen is full of possibilities! What will your Clan look like? 

Downloading is fairly straight forward, but below are the most frequently asked questions, including how to get the game. If you have any other questions that aren't answered, join us on our discord, where a much more in-depth FAQ is available.

FAQs: 

I can't seem to access the .exe file, or the .exe file keeps disappearing: We've recently been having some issues with the antivirus on windows, see this post: https://sablesteel.itch.io/clan-gen-fan-edit/devlog/715643/antivirus-errors-apri...

 Does this game run on Mac/Linux/Windows 7: Yes; thank you to Blackfur and Shou for developing those releases. 

Does this game run on Android/Mobile: No it does not, and the only software libraries I found for converting pygame to mobile use python 2, while this game uses python 3. Until those are updated to python 3, there will not be any mobile releases of ClanGen.

Can I help out with the development: Sure, join the discord or pull up the Github. I love community driven and open source projects

Help, I am getting (insert error here): Unfortunately it can be hard to troubleshoot based on the errors, again, I would advise joining the discord where you can share screenshots and get a faster response time. 

My computer flagged this as a virus?: That's probably a safe move by the computer; this is an executable file that is not, in the scheme of things, very commonly downloaded. But this file is safe. You might have to play around with your antivirus or security settings to allow it to download; usually if you hit something along the lines of 'more information' it will allow you to proceed.

How do I download this: Download the Release zip file from itch.io (you may have to scroll down) for the proper operating system. Find where that downloaded, and right click to extract all the files. Once it is extracted, you need to run the file called Clangen.exe. If the only file named main you see is main.py, you somehow got the source code instead of the release, try downloading it again. If it gives an error and won't open, make sure that you have extracted it before trying to open. 

Do I need the 64 or 32 bit version: Most Windows 10 and all Windows 11 computers use 64 bit. If that doesn't work for you, try the 32 bit. You can check to be certain following these instructions.
