        As much ad that would be cool, I want ConcernedApe to make it its own game. I don’t know how much net income he made from SDV, but he DESERVES another payday with HC.

        Also, he may have changed enough engine/code stuff in HC so SDV and HC aren’t compatible with each other to bundle together.

        Why not a separate update cross reference update between both games? I can imagine something Haunted Chocolatier related content (not the entire game) to be added into Stardew Valley that acts as a sort of “advertisement”, to get people familiar with the new IP. Or not. Just an idea.

          Going straight to “you’re a transphobe” undermines the actual fight when real transphobia occurs and fucks it up for people who are seriously being harmed by actual transphobia. You aren’t helping anything with that. Considering the mechanics of the game, I could see where adding the option could take a lot of work in programming. Maybe it does maybe it doesn’t, but that doesn’t equate to transphobia, you’re just being an asshole.

      Not adding a nonbinary does not make him a transphobe. Not every game, movie or story need a trans sexual character. It’s fair to ask for an addition in a “roleplaying” game (which it is here to be fair), but its not fair to call someone transphobe if he or she does not do it.

        I had just finished reading a Steam thread on why a game didn’t have a female option.

        If I ever create a game I’m making the protagonist a slug or alien or something.

      There are mods to do this.

      Would it be nice in the base game? Sure, but it’s not there, and speculating that he’s a transphobe because of that seems like a hell of a conclusion to make.

      Edit: I should add that the game does support nonbinary via its special dialogue tokens, but not in the UI. This shows at least some level of support explicitly added by CA.
