I was waiting for cleric release since there was only rumors and today I finally updated the game to try the beta version. Aaaaaaand they’re nonbinary! As a nonbinary person I feel Seen and it’s a strangely comforting feeling like I can’t even describe it. It’s so personal and important for me to see a nonbinary adventurer. Also I like their gameplay so far more than any other hero! And their lore is so cool! Sorry I just really need to tell someone about this. Now the only thing I’m worried about is Russian translation because I have little faith in translators in relation to they/them pronouns but I hope that they get it right.

From the about page:
ShatteredPD is community-translated via Transifex.! Thank you so much to all of Shattered’s volunteer translators! https://explore.transifex.com/shattered-pixel/shattered-pixel-dungeon/
You can likely contribute to its translation ofit’s something that interests you.
I think it’s not gonna hurt to try so yeah
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I’m very glad people are happy with the better representation with the new heroes. As I’ve said before, I don’t think Shattered’s cast will ever be super diverse (given that the starting point is 3 white men and one ‘girl character’), but I’d like to get it out of ‘clearly bad’ territory without making substantial changes to the existing heroes. For the Cleric in particular the thought of them being NB really nicely arose from their backstory, which I hope to be able to put in-game eventually.
What do you mean by better representation? In real life only 3 percent of people are NB, gay, or lgbtq. In shattered it’s 20 percent (the sad ghost and now the cleric)
In real life, white people are only like 20 percent of the population but are like 80% of the current characters in the game currently
Curious isn’t it?
I don’t know why you are making this about race, I never said anything about it. But if you want to know, the city above the servers is probably somewhere with mostly white population like England.
But if we decide to ignore locational factors, than I would agree with you: the chances of 7 out of 8 characters being white is just around 0.01%, also the probility of getting 2 out of 10 characters as NB is 3.2%
And cleric, a white and NB hero comes to tip both scales even more off balance!
the world is doomed if characters gender decide if a game is good or “very bad” rather then game’s mechanics, music, art style etc, how does it affect or matter if someone is a boy, girl or an armed helicopter, nobody cares, but anyways, it’s your game so you do you
If you don’t care then the impact is literally just using “they” instead of “he” in the game’s text, get over yourself.
no, actually if you will think enough the impact is more then that, but it seems like you don’t want to hear anything in this matter so i would rather not waste my words
