Hi, guys. We're making a walking simulator/adventure game, the premise of which is similar to "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" in that it takes place in a location where all people have disappeared - in this case, an island.

One of the 38 people on the island was a transmasc individual. He was essentially fully transitioned, married, and an adoptive father to his wife's child.

Now - my partner/co-developer & I are of the opinion that trans people are just that: people. However - as we are both cisgendered/straight, we wanted to ask this community's opinion on what would be considered "respectful representation" of this individual's status.

We don't want to make it anything "on the nose" or overt. - we just want it in the realm of "if someone sees it - and they know - they know."

We would really appreciate any input the sub could provide!

A few have asked how I did the images for the "Children of Rust" books I've occasionally posted here. They are photo collages run through a very easy 30-second photoshop process using pre-made crosshatching layers - which you can DL from a link in the video description, or from here:

About a year ago, we came here, asking for advice about how to respectfully include a trans character in the lore of a game we're making - an open-world walking simulator/adventure sort of like "Everyone's Gone To The Rapture."

In this game, the player explores an island wherein 38 people used to live, and suddenly have disappeared. We have tried to be inclusive, with a fair representation of humanity - which, in our opinion - required a trans individual.

This individual is a post-transition trans man who was married to a woman, and an adoptive father to three children (including his wife's child from her previous marriage.)

When we last asked, we were given the advice of:

- Placing a trans flag somewhere on the individual's office bulletin board

- Placing a prescription for related medication

- Placing a Blåhaj placed somewhere around their home.

As we will be focusing on this individual's "locations" in coming weeks, I wanted to come back and ask your community if there was anything else we should include.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give!
