    Edmund McMillen: The Binding Of Isaac’s graphics were rushed

    By

    In a recent blog post on his official blog, The Binding of Isaac developer, Edmund McMillen posted answers to some of the most frequently asked questions in regards to the upcoming remake of The Binding of Isaac, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. One of the first questions he posted, and one with one of the lengthier answers, is on why McMillen decided to change the art style for Rebirth."Isaac was a big rush job and I did all the art in less than 2 months," McMillen explains. "I wasn't ever happy with it and hadn't planned on the game being so successful so I just got the job done so I could finish the game…aka the art was lazy and to me, [was] just an eyesore."McMillen goes on to explain that he desired for an entirely different look, favoring a more "retro" look over what he ended up putting into The Binding of Isaac. Because the game was based on Zelda, McMillen said, he wanted to do the whole game in pixel sprites but did not put much faith in his artistic ability, nor did he have the time to invest to do so.

    Edmund McMillen Interview, Part 5: Oh, the Horror!

    By

    Welcome to the fifth and final part of our interview series with Team Meat's Edmund McMillen. One quick thing before we begin: The Basement Collection is out today! In fact, I'm writing this as quickly as I can so I can fire it up and check out all the awesomeness. And with that out of the way, let's get on to today's entry. It's quite short, but when you read it, you'll no doubt see that we saved the best for last. McMillen has ambitions to make a horror game, and while the project is up in the air at the moment, he was kind enough to share a few details with us. Enjoy!

    Edmund McMillen Interview, Part 4: The Living Room Conspiracy

    By

    We've reached part four of our five-part interview series with Team Meat's Edmund McMillen, and today we're going to discuss gaming in the living room. More specifically, where it's failed in the past and where it may be heading in the months and years ahead. If your Kinect is the sensitive type, I'd recommend keeping it away from this post at all costs.

    Edmund McMillen Interview, Part 3: Kickstarter

    By

    Welcome to part three of our five-part interview series with Team Meat's Edmund McMillen. Yesterday we discussed the games industry at large, and today we'll be covering a fairly prominent subset of that: Kickstarter. It's become a reliable source of funding for both indie developers and established studios, but does it make sense for everyone?

    Edmund McMillen Interview, Part 1: The Basement Collection

    By

    You may know him best for Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, but Edmund McMillen has been making games for quite a while. He'll be compiling much of his earlier work in The Basement Collection, a release that's bursting at the seams with extra content and hidden goodies. To learn more about the content-rich release (and so many other topics), we met up with him at his Santa Cruz residence and had a lengthy conversation.

    Binding of Isaac “mega expansion” set to mega-expand your terror and joy May 28th

    By

    On the strength of over 500,000 downloads and much bloody slayage,the macabre rogue-like The Binding of Isaac is getting what is being dubbed as a "mega expansion" on May 28th. From the lovably twisted minds of indie developers Edmund McMillen (of Super Meat Boy fame) and Florian Himsl, the vaguely biblical and entirely clever dungeon-crawler-allegory earned a four-star stamp of approval from us the first time around.
