To nerf, or not to nerf!?May 12, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWell hello there! its me! Edmund! Ive noticed some of you are VERY MAD about some recent changes to the game, and some of you are not so mad, hell some of you are even please! . so i wanted to pop in and clear up a few things. From this point forward, when we update the game with content / balances, we will make sure there is a long list as usual.. AND a short bullet point list of all the biggest changes so you can see how the buffs outweigh the nerfs, in hindsight i think if we had done that last update you may have noticed more of the improvements and let a few of the nerfs slide. that said, we do hear you.. and as an olive branch id like to offer a small little update, an update that you have control over! Tell us your top 10 most useless/horrible trinkets.. and we will buff them! Also please let us know your top 3-5 evil deals you NEVER TAKE as well! Post these in the comments here, or make a video/reddit thread and link them to me on twitter. I hope you all understand that these updates, though at times feel jarring, are a fun way to experiment with power level, balance and add challenge and excitement back to a game that many of you are still playing daily. not all changes are set in stone, but changes can keep things exciting and fresh! The team is eager to please and always listening! Stay tuned for more! ------------------------- while i'm here id like to signal boost this recent mewgenics preview video. "Mewgenics Is the Most Exciting Roguelike I’ve Played in a Long Time" -IGN Many of you responded to the trailer with "SHOW US GAMEPLAY!" and "BUT HOW DOES IT PLAY!?" well this 10 min video should give you all you need! We should be announcing a release date in the coming months via a fun lil trailer and then maybe start streaming at the end of summer to build the hype and answer questions. till then please wishlist mewgenics on steam so you get notified about our updates and help us push the game into the algorithm! xoxo -EdmundThe Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ Online Beta v 1.9.7.11 UpdateApr 30, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGood morning/afternoon or evening. It is I, Tyrone. A little light reading while you're sitting on the toilet this afternoon. Alex was on there for a while today. Too much spicy Mexican, I guess. You'd think that going from v1.9.7.10 to v1.9.7.11 would be a very small incremental change. Like, "Hey, we fixed being able to drop bombs while typing in online chat, you're welcome!" But noooo, the Isaac team has been working tirelessly to bring you the following improvements: Features/Balance Changes: Adjusted the behavior of Cod Worms staying hidden for long periods of time Adjusted the behavior of Kineti to only use their rock-grabbing action if they are on screen with the player Adjusted Blood Cultists to not fire their blood attack from off screen Lowered the tear height of red champion Mega Fatty’s puke attack so that it doesn’t always fly over Isaac’s head Siren will no longer charm Isaac’s Heart or Lilith’s Incubus The Amnesia horse pill will now unidentify all previously identified pills Tainted Maggy’s bleeding hearts now provide half the charge of a regular heart container when used with Sharp Plug Tainted ??? will now swap poops and keys when using a Bombs Are Key pill Added a 1% chance for Wheel of Fortune to spawn a Crane Game Gave Punching Bag back his ability to block shots Removed Glowing Hourglass and Book of Shadows from the Tainted Lost pool Using Meat Cleaver on an angel will now award only one key piece Delirious has returned to a fixed 12-charge item. Bosses have had their health and damage overhauled. They will take 1 damage per hit and 5 damage from explosions. Spikes, fires and red poops do no damage to them. Their health will deteriorate steadily and their color will slowly turn more gray until they reach 1 health Delirium Mom’s Foot is no longer sped up when Delirium gets enraged. A minimum delay of one second has been added between transforming into the foot and the stomp attack. While in Mom’s Foot form, Delirium cannot fire additional projectiles. These same behaviors also apply to Satan’s Foot Replaced Mars’ shield bubble with i-frames which will still allow free entrance into Curse Rooms but will not allow free plays to Devil Beggars and Blood Donation Machines. Impact from a Mars dash no longer creates fissures that destroy rocks. It instead creates a ring of fire that applies the burn status effect Jar of Wisps has returned to a 12-charge item. Its first use will grant two wisps and every wisp spawned has a high chance to be of a special variety. Pausing the game with Gitched Crown will not pause the item rotation, and will instead give the rotation a burst of speed Adjusted the proc chances of several Abyss locusts that were too powerful Knockback from farting locusts has been increased Adjusted the stat boost from Star of Bethlehem to match Hallowed Ground Wisps spawned from The Bean and Kidney Bean will now expire when changing rooms Completing a Secret Room with a Greed fight will now allow access to adjacent Chal...The Binding of Mewsaac?Apr 11, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIt’s me, Tyrone, here to tell you about some stuff. The good stuff We've been hard at work on the next patch for Repentance+, and there’s a lot coming your way. There are loads of bug fixes, optimizations to online modes, balance tweaking and feature improvements that we hope veteran and beginner players will both appreciate. Here’s one cool addition that you can look forward to. You know how the Key Master and Bomb Beggar often get overlooked, because you don’t want to use up too many of your resources to keep gambling for their big payouts? Well, pretty soon you’ll be able to pay them with a golden bomb or key to receive their item payout instantly – at the cost of that golden status, of course. There are some more changes in store that I can’t tell you about just yet, but please look forward to the next update. Some of you may have seen us messing around with AI-controlled Isaac over on my Twitch stream. We’ve enabled chat commands, where viewers can make Isaac move to specific spots, attack, bomb and use his active item, all through Twitch chat. It’s been fun watching the community try to complete runs together. We’re working on more ways for chat to interact and team up. If you have specific commands you’d like to suggest, please let us know. More to come on that, too! Now here is Edmund to talk a little bit about a project that’s near and dear to his heart: his next game, Mewgenics. -------------------------------------------- Edmund here. Sorry for hijacking the Isaac blog. I promise to only do it one more time. So, for those of you who don’t know, I’ve been working for a very long time on an endless cat-breeding RPG called Mewgenics. If you love Isaac, you’re going to feel right at home in this one. Mewgenics is built with the replayability, randomization and strategic depth that made Isaac so addictive. It has branching paths, tons of items, spells and mutations to discover. The game genre is completely different, but it’s designed to keep you coming back again and again, just like Isaac. Mewgenics actually takes place in the same town where Isaac and his mother lived. So if you’ve spent any time getting lost in the lore of Isaac, there are definitely some cool connections to watch for. And the soundtrack by Ridiculon is the best they’ve ever done. If you’re someone who loves the challenge of Isaac’s endless replayability, and enjoys unlocking new items and exploring new combinations, I really think Mewgenics is going to scratch that same itch. There’s an absurd amount of depth, and you can easily sink hundreds of hours into the game without seeing everything we crammed in there. It’s got the same charm, the same humor and the layers of complexity you’ve come to expect from my stuff. It really feels like the culmination of my experience making games. If you haven't seen the Mewgenics trailer I just released, please check it out and share it with your friends and family. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how familiar it feels, eve...The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ Online Beta v 1.9.7.10Feb 17, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsSorry for the delay in posting this update(got a little sick, I blame Alex).

As promised, the new Repentance+ free DLC update is here, today, now! You’ll need all the previous DLC to run it. This is a full-featured release, but we’re calling it a Beta still, because we’re still looking to refine things and squash any remaining bugs. You can do your part to help us by reporting any bugs, desyncs or crashes to [email protected] with the subject line #Repentance+Beta v1.9.7.4 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6743820/cdd5bf5495040a851a21f2d88c5cbe555006a6b8.jpg Please Include the version number in the subject line and be as detailed as possible when describing the issue. An example of a bad bug report would be “I crashed when fighting Monstro.” A much more useful explanation for the devs would be “In an online match with 3 players, I crashed when I used Crack the Sky during the Monstro fight.” Include the seed if possible and your crash log that can be found here: Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance+\crash_dumps. This helps us greatly in focusing on the issue at hand and getting it resolved quickly. If you played the Isaac Online Alpha back in January, you already know how some of the online stuff works. But a lot more features have been added since then, including support for all game modes, lots of filtering options (when creating or searching for an online match) and a new emote wheel (press the left Alt key or click the Right Stick on a controller to access it). We even added separate “group” leaderboards for online Daily Runs. And that ain’t all. Look for lots of balancing adjustments and item upgrades—all buffs!—that’ll turn some of your least favorite items into some of your new favorites. Details in the changelog below. Also, some Commonly Asked Questions below (Edmund calls them CAQ, rhymes Ipecac!) We’re going to have lots of fun playing Isaac online together. See you in the basement! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6743820/47b44b3171810c1001e348f2e4a191d8334bd65c.png Q: What can I do online? A: What you do online is between you and your webcam. But as it related to Isaac, you can play Normal, Hard, Greed, Greedier or Challenges as well as Daily Runs and seeded runs with up to three friends or with strangers. Q: Can I earn achievements in online play? A: Yes! All unlocks that can be earned in solo play can also be earned online. Be aware that you’ll have to be in a match from the beginning in order to be eligible for unlocks; joining a run in progress does not allow achievements to be unlocked. Q: Are there things in online play that don’t appear in solo play? A: Online play has a few differences from solo play. Defeated bosses will drop an item for each player in the match. If a match is joined in progress, the new player will be granted several items to catch them up based on how far along the run is. Players can spend coins at the revive machine in the starting room of each floor to bring back dead players.

It's me, Tyrone; I've logged into the Steam backend to give you an update on, um, the 1.7.9 update. Welcome to the long-time-coming Repentance update! Below you'll find probably the single biggest update since its release! Highly recommend you scan through below to see what's been updated, changed and improved. Some highlights include: C Section fetuses now only deal 75% damage every 10 frames Lil Dumpy now has a secondary, larger detection radius that can cause it to randomly trigger from nearby enemy projectiles. Glowing Hourglass no cooldown, but can only be used three times per floor . Increased the cooldown of D10 to 2 (from 1). It now devolves enemies instead of replacing them randomly. Cain's Other Eye now follows Isaac and copies all tear modifiers/stats, but shoots in random directions and has -25% reduced damage. Bum Friend can now give batteries/items from the Beggar pool. My favorite--The Black Bean now causes multiple farts in quick succession and leaves poisonous gas clouds Added the following: - C Section to the Ultra Secret room pool - Mom's Ring to the Old Chest pool - Epic Fetus to the treasure pool (at very low weight) - Glowing Hourglass to the Greed mode treasure pool - Ouija Board to the Greed mode devil pool - Breath of Life to the Greed mode angel pool Greed mode button won't deal damage in Lost form, some less useful items, trinkets and cards in Greed mode, such as The Moon, are fixed. Ultra Greed won't get stuck in his dash state forever when his movement is blocked by certain objects. Buuuuuuuut! There's MORE! By the time you read this, it'll be Friday November 4th 2022. Which means it's officially G-Fuel Day! The Repentance team has put together the sweetest piece of daily runs since, well, since that poop and fart themed one. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. So tons of amazing stuff below, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play today's daily seed, playable starting 3AM PST. The guys really put in a lot of effort to make it A-mazing. Edmund is even considering naming his next child gfuel--we've also discussed renaming Vinh into Le Gfuel as well. Don't want to spoil, you need to play it. Have fun this weekend!
