cool

Wow!I do expect this mod lone time ago

I absolutely love this mod, The original mother fight was boring compared to the witness to me.

this boss is really cool but i can see why they redid the fight because shes kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lmao

ngl that is peak

@Jameor Can you tell me more about this in the !!!Bug Report discussion?

actually, nevermind. i dont know if that works, because the whole mod doesnt work for me. it only adds the bigger room, and thats it. no attacks work, dont know why.

i wish this had compatibility with the "Improved Backdrops and Visuals" mod, it causes the middle of the room to have a corner, like the room was a 2x1 room still. it doesnt affect game play, but it looks kind of ugly

I love this mod

nah id win

@jaro7126 if it happens again i will post the log directly there

@Xenocyde89 Could you please send me your log file. Also next time write about any crashes and bugs to !!!Bug Report discussion

After i lost against the mother, the game crashed.

Happened in Mortis II

@cheesecake Well, you can just disable all the attacks I added in the next versions. Also, you can figure out which settings to disable by reading their descriptions. Note that I don't plan to revert the changes to the first version, and because of that, you won't be able to revert some of them in the MCM.
Also, no, I didn't remove the laser attack. I think you just disabled it

Hey i want to make the mod more similar to its first version. Could you tell me what settings I should change for that? and did you remove the technology attack? For some reason it doesn't appear when i attempt the boss.

@jnadler Not sure what you meant but no. This mod changes only The Witness behavior.

does this also add the bosses before witness like in antibirth?

Dont know if bad luck, but from I can tell, I never seem to see any of the new attacks besides the larger arena added, is there a setting for this mod or do ya think its a mod compatibility issue ( no crashes of course )

@dedezmorgan I believe the attack you are talking about is when the Witness throws a knife in the direction of the player. I made this attack as an experiment and added an option to disable it in MCM settings if you don't like it.

Why can't it just shoot the knie like repentance mother? The mod is good but why did you make the attacks even harder than the original antibirth witness?

wow 10/10

This bug is already in Bug Report. To fix your screen scaling you need to open options.ini file in C:/Users/username/Documents/My Games/The Binding of Isaac Repentance/ and change MaxScale option to 99

After the first time I defeated this boss, my screen didn't go back to its original size. Do you know how I could fix this? Thank you.

don't change it, it should be even harder than antibirth one, legend

She obliterate my testicles

Just tested it. Problem with 2/3 of the room not being visible is losless scaling's automatic scaling mode. I just needed to put it on custom and the issue was fixed.

For some reason, when I got to mother in a run I had like a few minutes ago from now, the screen was zoomed in like the base game mother fight. I was still able to kill her but I couldn't see 2/3 of the room, maybe something with Lossless Scaling (the program I use too boost fps) that scales the screen, other than that great mod.

Hey man, do you know that you're a legend?

Well, I agree that the fight with the Witness is difficult and maybe unfair, but I still don't plan to nerf or rework her attacks. The goal of this mod is to restore the uniqueness and difficulty of Witness from Antibirth as correctly as possible. Maybe this experiment was not very successful, but I like the idea.

Kilburn said he didn't include The Witness (or rather, reworked the fight into Mother) because the screen effect "looked terrible" and was disorienting to players fighting this boss for the first time, especially given the difficulty of her attacks.

I think for a restoration, you shouldn't nerf any of her attacks. The Witness was an interesting experiment for an Isaac final boss, it's cool to see her restored as properly as possible rather than changed up (you'd likely realize Kilburn was right about the boss any way).

kinda good but a bit unfair and weird. as an antibirth fan i approve

This is obviously not your fault since this is meant to be as faithful a recreation of the original Antibirth fight as possible, but good GOD I now 100% get why they so drastically reworked this boss for Repentance. Many attacks have absolutely no windup or time to prepare and some(ESPECIALLY in phase 2) are borderline undodgeable depending on position in the room.

Ok, now all should work properly

Thank you all for your feedback. I'm glad you liked my first big mod! Also I'm uploading update that fixes zoom and 2 chest bugs at the moment. Should be uploaded soon!

thanks for your answers!

Oh, just noticed. This zoom shouldn't be that small. I think that's bug with Repentogon zooming method. Before I figure out what causes this bug, I'll return the old method that I used in early development.

In the meantime someone posted a video on BOI discord showing it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYEreio2I0

So, answering on some questions I have to say:
1. I can't make zoom any bigger than this, but can make it configurable.
2. I can't make zoom not affect hud size, because even with Repentogon features this may take a huge amount of time + more bugs can appear.
3 I'm planning to do some of the suggestions on this week and release an update on the weekend.
4 I thought about making a video-showcase of this mod, but my PC isn't that good. So, if I make it, it will be 30 fps 480p video.

Ok, I need to make suggestions discussion, give me a sec

forgot to mention it, I also notice the bullet ball spited by witness in phase 2 can touch herself, suggest changing it so that it and its splitted bullets can't touch witness herself. it would be fairer imo.

after some experience, I think it is an awesome restoration , but I still have some suggestions:
1. It is strange that if witness fires 3 lines of red tears twice in o row, the first 3 lines will disappear immediately, and I suggest you make both of them coexist, or the first 3 lines will burst like hitting a wall when the second 3 lines are fired.
2. the shooting interval of blood clusters spited by witness is too long, suggest shortening it.
3. in the laser and dead isaac attack, I think it would be better if wieness's slamming ground can launch dead isaacs towards player and burst some red bullets like repentance mother. if so, it is a good way to link witness and repentance mother fairly imo. what's more, before witness fires laser, suggest adding smoke effects where the rocks appear.
4. it would be better if you could change the rotating brimstone and 4 direction red bullet attack in phase 2 more like antibirth version, especially 4 direction red bullets.

Why does The Witness has 2 left hands on the thumbnail? lol 😂

So I took a look at this mod and compared it to the original boss fight and I'm really impressed at how similar it is.

Now that finally, after 3 years, we finally got a mad lad who managed to recreates the original experience. I think it would be interesting to tweak it a bit as it's kinda obvious that some of the original attacks were really overtuned, like that rotating brimstone + bullet shot in all direction which can be really troublesome depending on yours and the boss' positioning.

holy hell ive always wanted a mod that did this, this is really well done great job on it!

absolutely beautiful

a vid would be nice

can you make it so you can customize the zoom size? (and that zoom doesnt affect HUD because that can break it if it's too high)

Pretty good! Only feature I want but is not here is the ability to randomize this version and vanilla, or at the very least be able to toggle it with a mod config menu. Reason being I want to fight this version in Mortis, but leave the Corpse Mother fight alone

btw, the zooming out is too small, could you make it bigger

@rainy I actually thought about it and in a future update I'll definitely make it. Maybe next week.
