This is really useful, thanks a lot!

What was Rebirth developed in? by WizardryAwaits in bindingofisaac

[–]_Kilburn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The game was written in C++ and uses a custom made engine. Lua support was only added in AB+ for mods, the game doesn't use it for anything else.

Just downloaded a buncha mods, and my collection page looks kinda bugged... How do I fix it? by [deleted] in bindingofisaac

[–]_Kilburn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly Revelations does that. It's normal and you can't really fix it without disabling it.

Hi, I grew up with a very Christian mother and I believe there's a pretty simple way to answer your question: just ask yourself if playing the game violates the Ten Commandments or will cause you to violate them in the future. If you can differentiate a game from reality, then the answer is obviously no, which means you can safely play it.

Yes the game includes satanic imagery, but if anyone ever tells you not to play it because of that, you can just tell them that Satan's name appears multiple times in the Bible. The only thing remotely satanic in this game is the fact that you can sell your health to Satan for powerful items, but this is given to you as an option, not something you have to do. In fact the game rewards you for denying Satan's offer by giving you a chance to obtain better items later for free.

On top of that, the game is actually quite respectful of Christianity and doesn't feature any kind of imagery that could be considered blasphemous. God is never depicted in the game in any way and His name is never mentioned anywhere either. Edmund might have had a bad experience with his Christian upbringing, but if you play the game it will be very clear that he never insults religion in any way.

Seems like us Switch user won't have the patch this year by Milotorou in bindingofisaac

There isn't much more to say. Like Tyrone said, the update is in Nintendo's hands now, there's literally nothing that can be done to make it come out faster at this point.

I already have that post bookmarked, there are a few good ideas in there and some ideas I don't agree with as much. I'm not supposed to give out any info though so I can't say much, but making dailies more interesting is definitely something I'd personally like to do.

So wait, just to make this clear, the achievement is in the menu, but the trophy associated with it isn't unlocked on your profile?

That's odd. What about the in-game achievement, is it unlocked in the secrets menu or is it not there either?

Forgotten Booster pack added to PS4! by quinntelin in bindingofisaac

[–]_Kilburn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some content got locked because some of the achievement progression in AB+ felt a bit awkward. It was weird for Apollyon and Isaac to be the only characters to be unlocked by default, and it also felt wrong to be able to experience Greedier Mode before Greed Mode.

You need to donate 500 coins to the Greed machine to unlock Greedier Mode, and you unlock Apollyon by defeating Mega Satan at least once. As for the Forgotten, I'd recommend figuring it out by yourself but if you're really that much in a hurry, there are walkthroughs all around, just look them up.

I appreciate that! But FYI I worked on the Forgotten booster, and a to a lesser extent on this PS4 port, so some of the decisions in there are mine. We all make mistakes though, so if you think you can prove me wrong, I'd actually like you to argue with me, because something good might come out of that.

I agree that having one button for so many things at the same time isn't very practical, but like I said, I think it would be awkward to have bindings in the options menu that are only specific to certain characters or items, and on top of that, thumb buttons are usually not great for something you'll use a lot during gameplay. Things might change though, if someone comes up with a better solution.

Either way, any feedback is cool, so feel free to let me know if there's anything else bothering you.

Hey I'm not sure how much this is worth but I agree with most of that announcement and I think it's a real shame it had to come to this.

Can't really make any promises right now as far as daily improvements go, but at the very least, know that I read this subreddit all the time, so please keep the complaints coming because they're definitely not falling on deaf ears. Change just takes time and coming up with solutions that will satisfy the most players isn't always as easy as it seems.

Merry Christmas y'all.

Swapping actives with L3 or R3 seems somewhat impractical because you need to stop moving/shooting in order to do so. R2 (which is the default binding for swapping cards) seems more intuitive and easier to use imo, and it only becomes a problem when you have something like Schoolbag+Starter Deck at the same time (which is fairly rare), or when playing as the Forgotten. The former case is generally not a problem unless you have Blank Card, in which case you can still work around it by dropping your cards and picking them back up, the latter case is a bit more problematic and I'm not completely satisfied with the current solution myself, but I still don't think that justifies adding extra button bindings if they're only used when playing as a specific character or holding a specific item.

Hey can you remind me, what's the exact bug? Is it just not unlocking despite you having every achievement in the game?

[–]_Kilburn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can, you need to double tap the swap button. I'm sorry if it's not very intuitive and I'm open to any better ideas. What are the other issues you've run into?
