Welcome to NomaiGen, a mod for the warrior cats fan-game Clangen that replaces the cats with Nomai, a fictional alien species from the game Outer Wilds. This pinned post will have a quick rundown of the scope of the project and some important links to find out more.

Clangen is a free, open source fan-game for Warrior Cats. It’s primarily text-based with some sprites for the cats themselves. It works sort of like a colony builder, where you randomly generate a set of cats to make a clan, then time skip one moon at a time to watch them progress and grow, with relationships between the cats, random events, injuries & sicknesses, food and herbs to keep track of, patrols to go on, kits born between cats, etc. etc.
NomaiGen is a standalone, modded version of Clangen, as opposed to being an add-on to the base game. It will replace the cat sprites with Nomai sprites and change key parts of the game to make it seem more like a bipedal, advanced society vs. a wild group of four-legged animals. Aside from the obvious changes like replacing the sprites and all cat mentions to more Nomai-y things, NomaiGen will feature:
Ages expanded into more human-like lifespans
Moons printed as years and moons (instead of just moons)
New clothing variable added; works like accessories but just for 1 type of clothes
Prefixes made into Nomai names (i.e. derived from latin plant names)
Suffixes made into various roles in the clan (i.e. Captain, Medic, Teacher, etc.)
I have lots of other things planned as well to actually change the meat of the game (i.e. new roles, overhaul to border patrols, etc.) but won’t go into detail about that until I start actually working on them, don’t wanna make empty promises! For now, the project is focused on replacing the cat sprites and implementing the above features.
Is it downloadable yet?/Where is the download?/When can I download it?
As of now, the first phase of the project is not yet done, so there is no download available. I’ve made this blog to post updates as I slowly make progress on it, since mod threads are closed in the discord and may not open up again for a while. There’s also no ETA on when I plan to have it done, it’ll simply be ready when it’s ready (i.e. all phase one features are implemented well enough to play with).
Once it’s ready for download, I’ll definitely be announcing it here with the Github link, so keep an eye on this blog if you’re interested!
