I did experience savedata issues during testing, I thought I had fixed it but apparently I never did, huh.

okay, so i just had it reset my settings again between runs for seemingly no reason. is there something im missing or is this just really janky :sob:

hey i have an issue with the timer setting, where i have to manually increase the salem timer from 4 minutes to 5:30 each time that i load into isaac, with it getting reset on a reload. its either that or it just doesnt save my change at all unless i die in a run first, which seems more intentional but still a little weird. i have been a long time fan of this mod, and when i played before this new update, the same issue was there, but worked differently. if i remember correctly, in the old version of the mod it would still require a death to save any changes, but wouldn't reset on quitting the application, but i honestly could just be misremembering.

I didn't know Salem was updated. Well time to not take forever on a floor again. :steammocking:
AgentCucco  [author] 11 Jun @ 9:55am 
I mean the whole point of Salem is to punish players for taking too long on a floor. She can be somewhat manageable on regular rooms, but boss rooms are where she actually punishes players HARD, and it's intended.
IAmTheEgg 10 Jun @ 11:46pm 
Would it be possible to add an option that prevents Salem from entering boss rooms? If they spawn and enter a boss room it can sometimes make it impossible to dodge. Especially for the more bullet hell-esque bosses (Mega Satan, Mother, It Lives, ect...).

I bet Edmund would approve this mod so much. Very well made and executed idea. Best of luck with bugfixes and future updates, fellas, totally wirth it

I thought that was fixed during testing. In any case you're not softlocked, as you can just grab any story item like the Polaroid to get out of the death certificate place.
Ninalol 4 Jan @ 2:55pm 
which renders you effectively softlocked

in the death certificate room if salem spawns all the items get turned into trinkets and picking them up doesn't kick you out of the dev area

i didnt even know I had this mod installed and it scared the hell out of me. 10/10
AgentCucco  [author] 16 Oct, 2024 @ 10:02pm 
That's a really interesting bug, I keep forgetting cycling items exist. There's an update planned but it probably won't be coming out for the foreseeable future, sorry.
Guineatown20806 10 Oct, 2024 @ 3:39am 
The issue with death certificate, when running out of time still exists. So don't use it when you have no time or almost no time. The only way to get out when you run out of time in the death certificate floor is to search for a story item like polaroid, the negative, dogma or the key pieces.
Guineatown20806 6 Oct, 2024 @ 3:39am 
She gives me the vibes of the Ghost from Spelunky. Also a few things: Currently she isn't that much of a thread, she is more a slower and anoying tainted esau which turns your items into gulpable trinkets. Take some notes from the Discussion Posts. Like a configurable speed for example. ALSO could you fix the bug with Glitched Crown? When I have glitched crown and Salem comes out any item will continue to emit the silver flame but they won't turn into trinkets because they are swapping all the time and that creates lag, especially if that happens for example in a multichoose Angelroom with 3 items.

Okay well that's just kinda funny.
sly91 21 Aug, 2024 @ 9:08am 
Hi there! love this mod! I only had a problem with the death certificate: I ran out of time after I used it and Salem turned all items, softlocking me. Could you fix it please? thank you very much!!
NihilRetnar 23 Jun, 2024 @ 6:46pm 
Awesome, simply awesome. Honestly this is the only way to encourage me not to 100% every single little thing on every floor and take too long.

This reminds me of the water wraith from pikmin 2

what were the maps on the trailer
redcrown 5 Jan, 2024 @ 7:47pm 
okay i went in without any clue of what this mod is about besides the main picture and oh boy i wish i didn't...

the mod is amazing 10/10 but one thing that i would change is so the pulling is a little bit stronger cause its just weak even from up close wait maybe made different difficulty's like easy medium and hard and maybe insane and nightmare too! :resmile:

Get spelunked :spelunky:
MrBalloons 26 Nov, 2023 @ 6:38am 
Damn- I've never even seen that.
SWE4T & P1XELS  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 4:27am 
xD
AgentCucco  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 4:03am 
If you want foreshadowing, you should check the fifth picture on the main page that has been there since like day 3.
MrBalloons 26 Nov, 2023 @ 3:53am 
That sound like Foreshadowing X)
AgentCucco  [author] 25 Nov, 2023 @ 5:00pm 
Yes that would be really cool, imagine if there was a secret way to kill Salem with a special *something* known to kill other unkillable enemies, that WOULD be interesting. Maybe she could even drop an item as the reward too!

Some people have really cool ideas!!!
The Collector 25 Nov, 2023 @ 7:21am 
I always feel like there should be a secret interaction to kill him.
A.e. hitting him with a specific item, which the nrewards you with something.
SWE4T & P1XELS  [author] 21 Nov, 2023 @ 8:53pm 
Mhm!
Itharrus 21 Nov, 2023 @ 8:23pm 
im guessing this was inspired by the spelunky ghost?
Augury 11 Nov, 2023 @ 4:53am 
Salem seemed to instakill me when I had a golden heart, it petrified her and I got hit twice in quick succession killing me instantly and costing me a great Apollyon run.

(But with mods that add entirely new mechanics rough patches are to be expected, and it was admittedly kinda funny, so I'm not upset.)
Goeta 8 Nov, 2023 @ 7:01pm 
I've never felt so much adrenaline in my life, having to run through every room not knowing where I'll end up because of having curse of the lost and this thing following me, with it's only objetive is probably end my life. Great mod.
Sess 8 Nov, 2023 @ 5:43pm 
Oh sorry if my previous comment about the spawn seemed a bit harsh, posted right after a run with Tainted Essau. I forgot I installed Salem so while on the downpour 2 I got a spooky surprise.

I personally do enjoy the mod a lot, brings some needed tension and both the art and mechanics are very well made, I think it's fine as it is leaving my masochistic preferences aside lmao.
AgentCucco  [author] 7 Nov, 2023 @ 5:55pm 
No
D-Phantom 7 Nov, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
can you make it an option in the settings to turn off the trinket thing that happens with items?
MrBalloons 7 Nov, 2023 @ 12:12pm 
There's a really nice Mod called Beyond, wich centers it's main gimmicks around Trinkets; in particoular, it gives more ways of using multiple of them at the same time, one of such is the Yummy Trinkets, wich are basically Salem's Silver Trinkets.
AgentCucco  [author] 7 Nov, 2023 @ 12:08pm 
I'm not sure what that mod is, but if that's the case I might look into it for reference.
MrBalloons 7 Nov, 2023 @ 6:29am 
Meanwhile the Beyond Mod out there having no Issues whatsoever with Different Trinket's states that AutoSmelt those upon pickup.
XD
AgentCucco  [author] 6 Nov, 2023 @ 11:47pm 
Actually nevermind, that was speculation, I just tested it, and no, there is no bug, the forgotten works perfectly fine whether you use the club or touch the trinket.

Second, I misread that, you said T. Forgotten. I just tested that and uh, they're, absurdly broken, only the bones can smelt the trinkets properly, the soul plays the animation but they send the trinket into the aether, and if you touch another trinket while the animation is playing, you grab it normally, it's so weird.

In summary, regular forgotten is completely bug-free. T-forgotten, absolutely buster, make sure to throw the bones at the silver trinket if you wanna pick it up. Even just touching it with the bones held up will bug out, it's uh, really broken. You need to either throw the bones at it or grab it by swinging.
AgentCucco  [author] 6 Nov, 2023 @ 11:38pm 
@Evgast That's uh, factually untrue. However.

There is a bug where if you pick the trinket with the club instead of by touching it, it will not be smelted, it can be fixed I think, I just absolutely and utterly forgot, lmao. Until then, probably avoid grabbing silver trinkets with the club.
Evgast 6 Nov, 2023 @ 11:20pm 
While playing as T. Forgotten only soul autogulps silver trinkets, body turn them in normal ones
AgentCucco  [author] 6 Nov, 2023 @ 7:47pm 
Man, if only the mod was highly customizable, I think that would be pretty cool, wish the devs were awesome and thought of that in advance, maybe they could've also put a picture showing such a feature in the workshop page, or at least put it in the description.

But alas, we must stick with the 4 minute timer, nothing we can do about that, pack your things boyos.
Sess 6 Nov, 2023 @ 7:34pm 
Salem should spawn faster.
Balatro Balatrez 6 Nov, 2023 @ 5:03pm 
@AgentCucco I know, but maybe when she swallows a soul of some enemy she can "release" that soul but in a "corrupt" form, or release white or blue fires, I don't know, maybe some other "synergy" between Salem and the souls of enemies.
AgentCucco  [author] 6 Nov, 2023 @ 4:29pm 
Salem is not meant to make the game easier!
Balatro Balatrez 6 Nov, 2023 @ 3:11pm 
hello i am here to say a ¨funny¨ thing, what if Salem could have a compatibility with ¨reworked ghost pepper¨ ?
it would be fun to see how she gobbles up the souls of the enemies !!!
Qua_xor 6 Nov, 2023 @ 2:36pm 
Adding the ghost to Isaac. This mod is cool. I just wish Salem was faster and he would split every 30 seconds.
