so uhhhh there's some stuffs going on
First of all, a huuuuuge fan-made mod was released earlier this week,
Antibirth.
Five years ago, a young boy took his first trip down into the basement, facing the endless threats below to escape from the murderous delusions of his loving mother. Three years later, he found himself facing the same predicament but with an even greater plague of horrors and peril. Very shortly afterward, a modest few among us decided that even this was not enough. In the two years since then, fate has worked tirelessly to place by far the most fearsome challenge yet in his path. This time, Isaac will face our free and fan-made The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth expansion, Antibirth. So what exactly is in store for him?
2 new characters with unique playstyles
90+ new collectible items to help Isaac fight
18+ new trinkets to swap and strategize with
80+ new enemies to face one after another
16+ new bosses to kill or be killed by
4000+ new rooms to explore and survive
A new secret final chapter for Isaac to endure
Bigger and greater secrets than ever before
Several new or enhanced features for local cooperative play
A nearly full and original new soundtrack, evocative of classic Isaac
The Binding of Isaac has had one of the most involved and robust communities of fans around since its initial release and has inspired countless players and developers with its peculiar sensibilities and creative blend of roguelike flavor. As its zealous modding community has proved, it’s only natural that many among us would feel the urge to try to help carry the torch and make it partly our own, but Antibirth was the first and is presently the only Isaac mod to reach deep into the core of Rebirth to enable the depth and scope of a full expansion, aspiring even to the size of the official DLC, Afterbirth. If you’ve become as enraptured with Isaac as the rest of us and you still want more, we’re here to provide our absolute best — and more of it than you’ve ever dreamed of — all for free.
Download it hereIt has Ed's blessing and may even come over officially once the modding tools of
Afterbirth+ are available.
Speaking of which...
for those of you who are blind, The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ will release Jan. 3rd 2017 on steam! ( console release date Spring 2017)
The expansion will be: $9.99.
but for the first week of release people who own afterbirth will get afterbirth+ for a mere $6.66!
features:
- full access to mod tools ( so you can design, edit and play and endless number of mods, features and whole new games that the community will no doubt eventually design.. )
- 67 new items, 27 new trinkets and 10+ new pickups! (hows that for specific huh!?)
- a new final chapter! (yes i said chapter)
- a new final boss!
- a new playable character!
- a new “greedier” greed mode!
- a gooseberry fool ton of new achievements! (62 to be exact)
- 5 achievement “challenges”!
- 100s of new rooms! ( tons of new ultra rare rooms )
- new victory lap feature! (allows the game to continue when finished)
- bestiary! (enemy collection page that keeps track of everything you kill in game)
- 5 new challenges!
- 2 new transformations!
- small monthly content updates! ( every month after release we will be updating the game with our favorite fan made designs, monsters, items maybe even challenges? who knows… i may also toss a few of my own modded designs in if you are good!)
- 4+ new bosses and a new alt forms for existing bosses!
- a handful of new enemies, features and new champion forms!
- new cut scenes and music tracks!
- other stuff im forgetting because i cant keep track of anything in this game at this point.
so basically what you are looking at is a slightly smaller afterbirth expansion but with mod tools that potentially make it 20 times larger! im honestly quite excited about what the community will end up making and even more excited to make some of it totally official in Isaac!
Big game is big is getting bigger
