Birthright Tier List
You call that a mega blast?!
Does anyone else like to eliminate those little flies that show up in the basement?
the snail has found you. you cannot be immortal forever.
My experience with the new patch so far.
It's even worse when you were having a good run...
there really is a deep message to be found in the game you just have to read between the lines
Juda's birthright is one of my favorites + THE ALMIGHTY BOOK TOWER
Aah yes... the good old "pause" combo
Block This Overhead
Wha happun?
this. is. fucking. tainted eden
Pool Party!
3d printed dark bum (coloring him later)
Every item in the game is related to religion, or are probably a memory of isaac. If that’s true, what the hell is this times backstory?????????
I "helped" my brother finally unlock the forgotten
Basically
Yo guys found this pill what stat will I get
Stumbled upon a good run
Don't pick up birthright if you're trying to do tainted Lilith mother route
I made a meme
Blessed Drawn ("The Coloured")
who needs 8 eternal hearts anyway?...
Thing I drew before I got the game :)
You ever just start with R Key as Eden?

Kil will try to release the void revamp in 2022 and a fix for custom rooms on Monday, but no promises
Mortis coming eventually
More synergies for t.Apollyon's locusts coming eventually
New resprites on their way if NotYourSagittarius and SnakeBlock (two Repentance spriters and artists) are up to it
A new character could come out eventually
More small patches will come out regularly
Kil really likes the concept of subthemes to floors, like Fiend Folio does
Kil is talking with LeatherIceCream (room and enemy designer) about a complete greed mode rework, but nothing set in stone
Kil will move on to other projects eventually, but for now he's enjoying working on Isaac
Fixing bugs and working on the mod system is top priority rn
More reworks to items are probably coming
Kil is going on vacation next month
Devil deals were probably over-nerfed. There are a few devil deal items that could need a buff
Using Lazarus Rags with t. Forgotten and becoming THE THING was intentional
More changes to donation machines on their way
There's an unimplemented quality system concerning items as t. cain? (Not sure, haven't really understood this one well)
Kil said there's no way they'll add a new item for every single completion mark as t.characters because they would be too many to add. This said, he said that he can't promise anything, but they could do something about it
He likes the idea of custom mod presets/modpacks but said he'd have to find a proper way to do it
Ed wants to play Among Us with the rest of the dev team
Cut bosses will be added eventually
Kil hates R key
Kil is still figuring out a clever way to nerf Echo Chamber
Apparently Black Champion Scolex was meant to be Black Champion Pin but someone made a typo
Kil would like to make t.Eden feel more visually unique
Kil would like to work more on champion versions of bosses
He referred to Colostomia as "Her"
Tainted Laz was almost based off of the Chronos mod
Repentance mod api 2.0 is a thing Kil would like to do, but it would require a lot of work
The angel room pool for Ultra Secret Rooms was just a placeholder because they couldn't come up with a proper pool
The donation machine change was Kil's idea
Kil considered making alt floors more secret and unique, like doing "Downpour, Mines, Mausoleum, ecc..." instead of "Downpour I and II, Mines I and II, Mausoleum I and II, ecc...
J&E don't need a buff according to Kil
Kil likes Corpse Eaters, he just needs to figure something out to implement them better in rep
The "Mysterious Candy" trinket could maybe benefit a tweak
Blue Baby does not need buffs
Kil would like to add more enemies to the Mausoleum
Tainted laz wasn't supposed to be a challenge character, but then kil went with it until he realized it didn't work in practice
Kil has no involvement with console ports
Concepts for new curses are hard to come up with
Kil's favorite new item is Suplex, while his least favorite is R key
New synergies for Spirit Sword on their way
Kil said that Isaac does not work too well with the concept of daily runs, but at the end, everyone plays the game however they want
Kil wanted to rework victory laps for Repentance's release. The rework obviously didn't make the cut, but he'd like to make it (although it's not high priority)
If Kil reworked dailies, it would be tweaking the score system, messing around with pools and stuff, but it's too early to talk about this. Kil would personally like dailies to be endless runs in which you go further as much as you can, but he understands it wouldn't probably be the best choice
Northernlion is Kil's favorite Isaac content creator
Kil would like to make online coop an official feature, but he doesn't know if it'll be implemented
Kil's favorite color scheme is red and black, but also yellow with other stuff
Tainted Isaac, t.Eden, t.Samson and t.Judas were surprisingly easy to make. t.Samson had Berserk as a pocket active before but was scrapped to have less control over it, cause it felt boring once you saved it for the boss
Kil thinks that Epic Fetus ignoring your tear rate is not good, so he'd like to make a rework to it
New achievements on their way, there's always room for them
Sisters Vis and Rag Mega reworks confirmed
The Red key was originally inspired by a recurring theme in Kil's dreams were he was in a familiar place with a door in places where it shouldn't have been. He would always wake up before opening that door. It was Ed's idea to expand its concept and link it to Mom and t.Characters
He probably overbuffed angel rooms, he needs to come up with a proper way to counteract that tho
Kil is not planning a C-Section nerf unless people start complaining too much about it. He acknowledges it's a really good item tho
He likes raspberry ice cream
Kil has ideas for new challenges, but nothing is set in stone yet
Kil doesn't like achievements tied to dailies, but Ed does
Kil likes Blue Baby's music theme. If he reworked bosses like Blue Baby, he would just listen to their soundtracks since he gets a lot of inspiration just from the OSTs. The same happened with Ashpit's creation process
If Hornfel played TF2, he would be a Demoman main
Kil thought people would like Jupiter because it's kind of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ item (farts haha). He's surprised people don't really like the item as much as he thought they would
"Infinite Eden tokens for a full save" is on Kil's list
Tainted Round Worms could deserve an hp buff
Curses are kind of just an annoyance rn according to Kil, so he'd like to rework them
One idea for a Keeper rework was giving him 99 coins as his life, but he'd have no invincibility frames so that he'd lose them faster. This got scrapped because it didn't fit that well
Originally, he called the t.characters as "b.skins" since they reminded him about those in Nuclear Throne
Kil already wanted to make t.characters before knowing that ed had the same idea. Ed pushed the idea to what we have now
The most overused character is Eden according to Kil, even tho Kil doesn't really like playing as him
Alt t.characters not happening
Posthumous anti bosses are apparently a maybe but his tone didn't seem too reassuring
Dumplings are NOT off the table and lil Dumpy will probably get a buff
