Happy Spring!

The Isaac team has been working hard and is happy to debut crossplay for Repentance+ Online PC.  As we work to make the feature more seamless, we could use the community's help to give things a test.

For now, crossplay can be enabled outside of the game in the OPTIONS.INI file.  By default it is located here: C:\\Users\\YOURUSERNAME\\Documents\\My Games\\Binding of Isaac Repentance+

The last line of this file is "EosCrossplay=0" You can change the value to enable or disable functionality.

0-1: Crossplay is disabled. You won't see any change from the experience you are used to.

2: Crossplay is enabled.  Public lobby results you see can either be from Steam or from Epic.

3: Crossplay enabled + EGS account linking.  If you set this value you will be asked to link your Epic account on startup (unless you've previously linked it).This setting also gives you access to both Steam and Epic friend lobbies and anything provided by the Epic social overlay (achievement viewing, friends list, inviting Epic friends, jumping directly into Epic friends lobby, etc.)

We have also added a mute feature for online chat. In the text chat, you can type /mute (username) and /unmute (username) to stop and start seeing messages from them. You don't need to type the entire name, /mute zombo for instance, will mute me for good until you unmute me. Or maybe you want to mute Ken…

 As always, please report any bugs you find to [isaac@nicalis.com](https://isaac@nicalis.com) and we look forward to playing with you all online! [Be sure to say hello on X or something,](https://x.com/tyronerodriguez)

Also, enjoy this super 4K HD image of Edmundo, weird that the last part looks like a 2.

### [AB+|Rep(+)] Internal Item Descriptions

Hell it is me, with some big news!   Patch 1.9.7.13 launches TODAY, and let me tell you: this is one tasty update packed with new features, balance changes, and quality of life improvements - including some that folks have been asking about for a LONG time.

Ever been hesitant to grab an item or activate that card because you can’t quite remember what it does, exactly? Well no longer – because we’ve added ITEM DESCRIPTIONS for every collectible, consumable, and trinket in the game! You might just find this handy if you happen to be one of the few people who, for some reason, has trouble keeping track of every single effect from all 1000+ of them. You’ll need to beat Mom to unlock this feature, and then collect each item at least once to unlock its description text. And then you can finally read stuff while playing a video game, like some kinda nerd or something!

Trinkets also got a big ol' load of love in this update! Alongside a few item buffs, a number of weaker trinkets have been improved to make em more useful.   Plus if you’ve unlocked golden trinkets, or have played some runs with Mom’s Box, then you probably quickly realized that a lot of the so-called ‘upgraded’ trinkets kinda sorta had no upgraded effects to them at all, actually. That has been fixed with the addition of upgrade effects for EVERY trinket, including some that are pretty unique and powerful. And for many of them, if you’re lucky enough to collect a golden trinket AND Mom’s Box at the same time, you’ll unleash that trinket’s final form, a super powerful tripled effect!

We even have something extra special for all you masochists out there – there’s a new kind of deal to be found in Devil Rooms that won’t cost you permanent loss of your hard-earned heart containers. Instead, simply hurt yourself on some gnarly sacrifice spikes once or twice to get the goods! And “the goods” in this case are from a selection of Devil Room items that are perfect for hurting yourself EVEN MORE!

Plus a whole bunch of other cool stuff! Now have some patch notes:

**Items**

- **Revelation:** Removed the 2 soul hearts on pickup

- **Plan C:** Increased the delay before killing Isaac, allowing Delirium and Mother death animations to complete in time

- **Mega Blast: **Now receives 6 charges instead of 3 when picking up a battery, 9 Volt, Battery Pack, and 48 Hour Energy

- **Car Battery**: Added interactions for Gello, Book of Belial, Red Candle, The Candle, Doctor’s Remote, Telekenisis, and Mega Blast

- **Thin Odd Mushroom:** Can now break the soft tears cap

- **Seraphim:** Now contributes to the Seraphim transformation

- **2Spooky:** In addition to its existing effects, now adds +0.5 tears and +0.2 shot speed

- **Black Powder:** Now grants larger explosions and fireplaces will explode when extinguished

- **Blood Rights:** In addition to its existing effects, each use now grants a tears upgrade for the current room

- **Pageant Boy:** Now always drops a penny trinket as part of its rewards

**Trinkets**

- **Super Ball:** Bouncing tear chance now scales with luck

- **Bob’s Bladder:** Now contributes to the Bob transformation

- **Missing Poster:** Now has a 33% chance to reveal the Super Secret Room when entering a new chapter

- **Used Diaper:** Skatole chance raised to 33%. Spawn a blue fly when entering a new combat room

- **Rosary Bead:** In addition to its increased chance of The Bible appearing, when a Devil Deal is earned, holding this trinket will force the deal to be an Angel Deal

- **Modeling Clay/Error: **Now correctly display the mimicked item/trinket in Extra HUD when gulped

- **Louse:** Now spawns a blue spider when completing a combat room

- **Karma: **In addition to its existing effects, holding it will reduce the chance of the Donation Machine jamming. Donating to a Beggar now has a chance to refund the penny, heal Isaac for one heart or increase Isaac’s luck. Blood Donation Machines and Confessionals have a chance to heal Isaac for one heart, spawn

### The Binding of Mewsaac?

- Date: 2025-04-11
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/250900/view/573753783490708355

[It’s me, Tyrone, here to tell you about some stuff. The good stuff](https://x.com/tyronerodriguez)

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 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/Mewgenics/). If you love Isaac, you’re going to feel right at home in this one.

[Mewgenics ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/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 ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/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 ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/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 ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/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, even though it’s something new. Go add it to your Steam wishlist and get ready because it's finally coming!
Alright, that’s enough from me for now. Stay tuned for the next Repentance+ patch, and keep an eye out for more updates on (https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/Mewgenics/)!

### REPENTANCE+ Is Here

[Herro, it is I Tyrone](https://x.com/tyronerodriguez). 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 isaac@nicalis.com with the subject line #Repentance+Beta v1.9.7.4

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!

**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. Be warned, however, that the cost goes up each time the machine is used. Defeating a boss at the end of the stage will also revive any dead players. There might be some other special things to discover online as well!

**Q: Do I need the online achievements to unlock Dead God?**
A: If you have not yet completed your Dead God file, you will need the online achievements in order to get it. If you already have Dead God, you will not need the online achievements in order to keep it.

**Q: Can I play with mods online?**
A: No, all mods must be disabled and the game restarted in order to play online.

**Q: Where are my mods? **
A: Repentance+ has its own mods folder located here: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance+\mods however, it is empty. Mod creators will need to update their mods for compatibility. If you copy Repentance or AB+ mods into this folder, you DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK as things are likely to break.

**Q: Did anything change in solo play?**
A: Yes! There are many item improvements and reworks to experiment with, and many fixes and quality-of-life adjustments made to both solo and online play.

**Q: What if I desync or find a bug?*

### Repentance Update 1.7.9 Changelog and G-G-G-Fuel!!!

**G-G-G-G-G-FUEL!
**
It's me, **(twitter.com/tyronerodriguez)**; 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!
