@WingdingsMarcy000 ...How to jump?

Sounds like a fun challenge lol. Glad you like the item!

this is like a weird spin on the R Key challenge or the "Glowing Hourglass on hit" challenge, it's fun! I could imagine a challenge where you start with this item, Spirit Sword and maybe Curse of Darkness, to really give you the Souls vibe, i wish we had a dodge roll item in Isaac

I thought about adding a costume for a while, but I eventually decided against it. Mostly I just didn't feel like making custom costumes for specific characters and changing the player color and whatnot, but also because having a full body dark souls costume felt like a bit much and would make the item stand out more than I want it to. I wanted the item to accurately reference the source material, but I didn't want it to be so much of a reference in that it felt out of place among the other Isaac items, so I went with the simpler approach

@ChrisSor54 Ok so you already thought about all the possibilities haha, that's very nice.
Yeah, now that you put it that way, your approach is way better, very cool item, congrats!
Ps: Idk how hard or troublesome could it be buut... a costume would be cool, like, all black with a big Dark Sing on the forehead, something akin to the ringed knights maybe

my bad awestin11 i forgot i still had my fedora on and i was still clutching my body pillow

Originally I had it where a heart was replaced by a broken heart, but when writing the description for EID, I realized that there felt like too many negatives to make an essentially free revive feel worth picking up, so I decided to remove the broken heart and just make it take a heart instead. Plus I think this can open the way to more crazy synergies, which I find fun, and only way this would become truly broken is if the player had a way to get unlimited heart containers, which at that point the run is basically won anyway. Also, I'd actually argue this is most like how DS2 implemented the health decrease, as your max health is incrementally lowered with each death.

Fun fact, for most of the development I also had it where your coins, bombs, and keys would be lost and had to be recovered with your body, but I felt like this over complicated things so I removed it. The code is all there and just commented out lol, so if you'd like to try it that way you can.

It would be cool and more balanced if you got a broken heart each time you revive. Also it would be like DS2 :D

@awestin11 skill issue

@jenkins This ain't Reddit. Also I didn't look at the comment section before commenting, so both of us simply had the same idea.

curse of the dien't

guys can we kill awestin11 in real life they copied my comment

They're functionally the same item lol, though Isaac is a different enough game that I think it makes quite the difference

I know it's based on Dark Souls, but I can't help but think of Gun Soul from EtG when seeing this.

The Gun Soul was very much an inspiration for this mod lol, although I was working off of memory of the item and only after it was complete did I realize just how similar/identical they are. I think the concept is really interesting, and given the greater room for busted synergies with enemy respawns (meaning more pickups and room charges) in Isaac, I feel like it could become insanely busted under the right circumstances

i cant believe they added gun soul to isaac you guys

whos who?

lol
