SLUGCAT SAFARI

alas! if by 'the clangen' you mean the program i use as source material for the comics and as featured in the video walking through cycles 1-5, 1. it is not clangen and 2. it is not ready for the public just yet!

here are a number of hurdles:

i have never shared a program created by myself before; i quite simply do not understand yet some important fundamentals, such as how to ensure dependencies are installed, directories are correctly laid out, and most importantly i do not have the presence of mind to troubleshoot with the public currently- im in a bad (well, 5 year long) mental slump where i become wracked with terror upon getting (some) messages (er.. dont let that stop you from trying to message me! just understand i might not respond .. ever, unless !! you keep messaging me).

the program is lacking at the moment... there are 214 base events not counting branching paths and overwritten events depending on circumstances and 2 status effects but i still want waaay more. i also need to add status effects such as pregnancy and sickness, fill in events for enlightened slugcats, and im thinking of adding in a lizard member feature... i also would need to set up a settings page for some rudimentary things- maybe sliders for how much slugcats consume in a cycle, how much they might bring back in a hunt, if slugcats can have pups with members of the same sex (not possible atm), and a special feature to enable void slugcats thatll never die...

the program is buggy and unbalanced at the moment- im unsure exactly how to balance things such as food, damage, and population without intensive playtesting... i also just found out that my status detection method isnt working properly (thus, for example, grief never wears off or a pregnant slugcat would never give birth...)

relating to the mental slump listed in point 1 if anyone makes fun of my OBJECTIVELY BAD AND MESSY !!! coding i will ... cry. im just not a professional yet and im horrifically meek, without ensuring that the people who pry into (as i call it) rain game are doing so with good intentions im far too nervous..

Something else, created from the ground up by yours truly!

I have a video in the works right now explaining it (and narrating the events shown here), but I need to finish the art for the first five cycles before I can post it. Here's spoilers for cycle 5 of what I'm working with:
