[DEV] The Cleric's Design Origins (lemmy.world)

Did you know that in a way the Cleric is the first hero ever to appear in the original Pixel Dungeon?

Pixel Dungeon had a different default hero sprite for about 6 days after its first release in 2012. This was back before the game even had hero classes, and this sprite was quickly scrapped and replaced with the Rogue's sprite. I saw a screenshot of this design back in 2015, and it was my initial inspiration for the Cleric in Shattered Pixel Dungeon! The design has changed a lot since, but it's neat to think that in a way this hero is about 12 years in the making!

Also, I now have an account on Bluesky! While it isn't my first choice, I have been happy to see that Bluesky has been replacing Twitter for many people in the last little while. If you'd like, you can now find me there as well: https://bsky.app/profile/shatteredpixel.com

(Image Description: A screenshot from the original Pixel Dungeon circa 2012. Several graphical elements are outdated compared to the current version of Pixel Dungeon, and compared to Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Most notably, the hero sprite is completely different in this screenshot, using a design that was scrapped shortly after.)
