⚠️under construction. everything is currently subject to intense revision.

main blog @miscellaneous--bones

i also made @rabbitclangen

synopsis: shadowclan but better, post apocolyptic, worldbuilding and character focused, edgy cats and taxidermy

currently working on:

asset design and comic templates

style tests

save file editing :(

[carrionclangen]

if the clan was big enough, and i could trust myself to keep track, i could easily split the warriors into other roles.

Builders would be, well, builders and artisans- they maintain camp, the dens, the tunnels, as well as make tools and accessories. anything from using clay to form brick structures to making baskets and bags to sewing leg warmers and forging peircings.

Hunters would catch and trap food, and learn how to properly cook and store it. maybe they can even keep livestock (chickens, quails, rabbits?) and learn various seasonings. they'd also have to learn how to make fire, haha

warriors would stay warriors, being defense and combat- they'd handle enforcing and protecting the borders and territory. predators, enemy groups, etc. guards.

i could see another role too, maybe runners? they could be scavengers and foragers, traveling off territory for supplies in human areas. maybe they could even trade stuff with other colonies and settlements? (sort of a bridge role between the warriors and the councilors.)

mediators are also gonna be replaced with an Advisor and Councilors. they solve internal issues, help smooth dissagreements, and handle any outside groups (other clans or otherwise) an advisor would be another high roll, too, one of the cats that represent a group for the leader. (<- this one is definitive, im applying the role in carrionclan. eventually.)

aside from the fact that there would need to be a rather decently sized clan to fill all these rolls, and it would be difficult to keep track of from clangen, I'm also curious as to how the leader is chosen?

with the canon typical warrior role, everyones education is more generalized. any warrior has the same basis and could be picked to be deputy with similar experience in all tasks. to split them up more specifically, you might get a leader whos experience is in agriculture or construction, which would be strange. interesting, in terms of how different backgrounds could affect a leader's decisions and focus, though.

one worm around is introducing an heir system- the leader is expected to have kits and they're taught to oversee everything and, well, lead. raised for the role, rather than chosen. however this has it's own can of issues..

another would be to abolish the leader role and instead make a council- made of all of the higher ranking clan members (Doctor, Cleric, Deputy, Advisor, and head titles for the other roles) this would be more diplomatic, but also pretty much impossible to keep track of in terms of clangen and would upend the one cat receiving 9 lives. (Loudclan spread out the 9 lives between the head herbalist and leader, but i think there are too many roles to properly do that here.. maybe it could be 3/3/3 for the doctor, deputy, and cleric?? still hard to do in game.)

If any other clans would like to make LPS Versions of their cats here are my bases! Would love it if you tagged me to give credit and also so I can see your ideas!

Thinking of a big art project vs doing a big art project

[carrionclangen]

Dens! Camp is a clearing with a bunch of dumped human junk, with an old fox den stretching underneath it. The use the fox den for the doctors, food storage, and the undertakers, as well as emergency shelter from storms. Other than that are a few brick towers that the clan made generations ago from clay and mud mixtures.

[carrionclangen]

we got the save working! ty for the lovley ppl on the clangen discord, it was a tiny goof on the conditions page we made for doefang.

anyhow, we've played through the first year! and I started thumbnailing pages x3

[carrionclangen]

thought i had my new save all nice and working, all the cats i added were functional, everyone had the right traits, doefang was even deaf like shes supposed to be! aaaand now my game crashed when i try to timeskip to the next moon...

[carrionclangen]

Notes for some tail signs for doefang! Generally she writes to communicate, but when she's out away from her pens she has worked out a few motions to communicate with her patrol :3 simple things!

New founders!

[carrionclangen]

I'm not terribly sure if I'll post the comic as a black and white or as colored but. Have some tests anyway!

[carrionclangen]

HONESTLY??? now im debating taking a few of my very favorites (the first 4, torndawn, and maybe a few others....) and restarting??? perhaps? hmm..

[carrionclangen]

ok ive got to ask bc this is driving me crazy the more i look into it. clangen doesnt count it as inbreeding after a few generations, so ive got various cats with the same ancestor/s having kits. these instances ARE very extended family participants (so much so that i dont have words for them, like this cat had kits with their neice twice removed or these two are technically cousins thrice removed based on one cat having multiple baby daddies, etc etc) but how much incest is too much? where is the line? should i scrap the save and start over so I can try again and be REALLY diligent?
