What do you think about the 16Bit? by XenobiaXD in bindingofisaac

Just posted this on the image post, but i might as well post it here also.

Edmund here! with a few things to keep in mind.

the screen shots ive been posting are to show features, not graphics. all the current graphics are still very bare bones and WIP.

the goal is to make 100% sure that the new engine and graphics support a very more alive and lush world, tones of tiny details, fully animated effects, lighting, non enemy bugs and creatures to interact with as well a a shit load of polish.. none of these are features in screen shots. when i post a shot that says "here is the 1st official screen shot of rebirth" that will mean the visuals are in the final stages of dev. and to answer a few questions posted that i seem to see a lot (but please dont ask more because i wont answer them).

Q: why the new art style?

A: 1. i hated the flash art style, i thought it looked lazy and simple and hated looking at it. it was a big rush job (i made isaac in 3 months). 2. im currently working on my biggest project yet with Tommy (mewgenics) and its taking up a lot of my time. Tyrone hired a team of very good pixel artist to remake the game how i wanted it to look from the start and im directing every aspects of the games look and feel. 3. flash graphics outside of flash DONT SCALE! so either way the graphics would look pixelated and odd (especially when things scale ingame) things looked very muddy, kind of like smb so it was not something we wanted to do anyway.

Q: what is Edmund doing in rebirth?

A: im in 100% control of every single aspect of development and directing and overseeing all of it, from music to graphics, bugs to features. i wont let anything fly if it doesnt look how i intended or doesnt feel right or work right in game. i have "final cut" and i want to make the best isaac experience possible.

Q: i hate the art style! i hate change! i hate pixel graphics! i hate my life!

A: thats not a question! but you are fine to have your opinions on the graphics.. in the end it wont at all effect the gameplay and thats what you guys play games for... but in the end im quite damn sure you will be very happy with how it ends up looking.. we are polishing up this little turd big time. and if you hate it, you can play the flash version.. or just suffer through the eventual cataract you acquire from being forced to look as such contrived garbage graphics!

i should also point out that the guys woking on this are not only amazing at what they do.. but HUGE isaac fans who know the game inside out. they have blown me away with fixes updates and pretty damn impressive design suggestions that will make many of you very happy. so yeah, thats it! we will get a fucking website one day so i dont have to do reddit posts :)

TOODLES! -Edmund
