Development of Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.0 is now well underway!

v3.0’s big new feature is the game’s sixth hero: The Cleric! They’re going to be a divine magic user with a wide variety of defensive, supportive, and utility spells.

I’ll be sharing most posts about them in future posts here, but for now here’s a little peek at their splash art.

      “Holy Warrior in a mix of cloth and plate” is a pretty common character concept. I will say though that the upper chest guard was a particular stylistic choice by Aleks, but I don’t think it had a specific character inspiration.

      It happens a lot that a very repeated design gets treated as a “normal” thing, and then it looses all sense of link to the original idea, making it not an inspiration but a topic.
