isisaacdead:

until now i don’t think i fully realized how much of a monster this game has become, and this launch in particular had some of the weirdest bugs that caused the most interesting and conspiracy inducing paranoia ive ever experienced in my life (but more on that in a later post).

really all you need to know is a few basic facts

some time early this week there will be another patch that should address all the existing bugs and imbalances currently in the game.

old azazel wasnt ever intended to be nerfed as much as he is, he will go almost back to normal soon (damage up!).

challenges that feel unfair will be updated/fixed.

lost achievements tied to the donation machine and other bugged unlocks we discovered recently will be fixed.

ol ultra greeds OP buffs will be made easier.

so i hope these will clear up any confusion on what is and isnt intended always remember that we are actively trying to make the game better and with any update more bugs / balance issues may pop up so pleas bare with us 

everything should be a lot smoother soon

now onto a community brain storm!

as many of you know, daily runs feature special daily’s that revolve around specific holidays. we added this at the very end of dev so all i had time to think up were designs for all the basic and obvious US holidays.. so what id like to do is extend the more obscure ones to the community and brain storm some special daily runs!

i made a thread here on reddit, feel free to list the name of your obscure holiday, month and day of the year as well as how you think these day should be represented in the game with EXISTING CONTENT.

we wont be adding special art for these, so you gotta work with what youve seen already in game.. but there is so much there at this point im positive you can get quite creative with it.

upvote the ones you like a lot, and dont worry if you dont have a great theme for the day.. if the day itself is awesome, or your idea sucks.. ill make it better ;)

on a side note id also one of the most common question people are asking about afterbirth these days is where can i get the afterbirth ost? 

the rebirth ost + afterbirth ost can be purchased here on steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/322660/

or you can buy it separately for 99 cents here https://ridiculon.bandcamp.com/album/the-binding-of-isaac-afterbirth-ost

id also personally like to thank the fans out there who think logically and dont instantly grab their pitchforks when confusion arises, your voice of reason honestly helps a lot more than youd think.

to the rest, keep in mind that i actually like this game even more than you do ;) if something feels wrong.. i know it feels wrong and i fix it, it just takes a bit loner to find and fix these days due to the fact i have a baby and this game is a monster of chaos and tuning it can be a really delicate dance.

i harbor no ill will towards anyone.. especially fans of my work who put food on my table, so seriously if something seems fishy, take a step back and put my intentions into the equation and take off the tin foil hat before doing that math.

I’m really glad that azazel is getting back to his old damage. the nerf made it so that it takes two whole brimstones to kill just a mulligan.
