Repentance compatibility?
Ryusuta 17 May, 2021 @ 9:46pm 
Seems to work okay in Repentance.

I just got oneshot by a paranoia enemy instead of being reduced to half a heart :/ it was a knight in the cathedral. Also I think more enemies should be set to paranoia enemies. When I have this item I encounter an average of slightly less than 1 type of paranoia enemy per game.

great item. It glitches and turns all modded item pictures into that of paranoia. Pls fix, great mod.
it's a copy past of the last comment but it's true.

Wow, what a concept! Brilliant work. :p2wheatley:

Also, the seed below is fantastic. Beat Delerium with The Lost for the first time!
PappaFreud 12 Sep, 2017 @ 11:03pm 
Hi Merlo! Bug report: I've picked up this item several times over with The Lost. Each time, the damage up only lasts for the current floor... which I have usually already beaten to get the Devil Deal. One seed example: ZAKWDQ3R

I think this is a fantastic item idea and I hope that it gets fixed soon.

Thanks to everyone suggesting and liking the mods! The team behind them is currently on holidays/vacations, and it's really hard to get together and make more of these or make fixes to the existing mods. We're sorry, and will be back with a bang in september!

Great item idea, but not currently working.
COMPANION❤CUBE 22 Jul, 2017 @ 8:46am 
fix it stats going down
A Dummy 21 Jul, 2017 @ 1:19am 
I like the idea of this item, but unfortunately like other people are saying I notice the stats from this item end up disappearing pretty quickly, making the item effectively useless currently.
Hope to see it fixed soon.
High Priest of the Spurned Egg 14 Jul, 2017 @ 1:46am 
Alright people are complaing about it. Tbh i appreciate how op it is. My diagnosis is that it breifly gives you the huge stats up, but resets whenever any of your stats change. This includes devil chance and thus it goes away whenever you go to a new floor. Exiting the run and coming back reinstates the stat changes. Additionally Paranoia enemies dont actually ever appear, so the item is dope as heck.
JewfishOnkwok 6 Jul, 2017 @ 4:20pm 
Every time I pick up paranoia it very briefly shows the double damage and then resets back to what it was.
DaCreeperKing 3 Jul, 2017 @ 6:51pm 
i like this whare mod makers take ideas from the communaty and make them
Scootch 1 Jul, 2017 @ 1:07am 
Hey, I dunno if this is intended or not, but I recently had a run in which Paranoia showed in a Curse Room and after picking it up, I found a All Stats (SMB fan) and it overwrote the Paranoia stats.
EisenSkrt 26 Jun, 2017 @ 11:33pm 
Idk if it happened before, but on the cursed room i got it i had the x2 multiplyer, and the next floor i didnt have it, but the other stats upgrades stayed.
Merlo  [author] 23 Jun, 2017 @ 2:17am 
Really happy you like it, makes my day to hear that
Fari 23 Jun, 2017 @ 2:16am 
Possibly my favorite AB item, because I'm a hoe for damage but also some actual consequences.

Had it on like 6 runs total so far, first encounter with actually getting punished haha. Was on Chest, like 3 rooms from end, max hp, cocky and zoned out. A spider that jumped across the room hit me before I even heard it coming.

Glass cannon stuff is always fun.
willeummm 19 Jun, 2017 @ 2:24pm 
want to*
willeummm 19 Jun, 2017 @ 2:24pm 
Ya I had the feeling you didn't to make it look the same but honestly I can think of a few different looks for the item. But if you, the owner of the item, don't want to change it I have nothing against that
Merlo  [author] 19 Jun, 2017 @ 2:20pm 
I know, it looks like the eye from Breath of the Wild. It wasn't intended to and still doesn't do anything wrong imo, and symbolized the object in a good way. I don't think I really should have any reason to change it tbh
willeummm 19 Jun, 2017 @ 2:16pm 
Ya I can understand references but I just wanted is for you to be aware that, great idea for an item, but its look is similar to another icon from a different game. If this where to be a reference you should make the item have a relation with the game the orginial icon it comes from.
Merlo  [author] 19 Jun, 2017 @ 5:18am 
The item has no problem with copyright, as it is just a reference and not at all a straight copy of the original. Copyright exists together with Fair Use laws, and as this is transformative it definitively fits into that category. Don't know if you noticed, but Isaac's packed with references as well.
mizutsuru 18 Jun, 2017 @ 11:10am 
How do I request something?
willeummm 17 Jun, 2017 @ 10:53am 
Its not that I like it (I dont even have AfterBirth so I can't use it) its just that Copyright laws are a thing. Also its not the Gerudo symbol its the Sheikah symbol.
Merlo  [author] 17 Jun, 2017 @ 3:52am 
super glad you like it! that really makes my day
willeummm 15 Jun, 2017 @ 3:43pm 
Wow orginial idea for the look of the item. Its just the symbol for the Gerudo from The Legend of Zelda.
Guishark 15 Jun, 2017 @ 1:52pm 
Just got this as the lost, having a shitton of fun!
8Leo 6 Jun, 2017 @ 9:18am 
In my opinion, every enemy's health should be halved, not Isaac's stats boosted.
Merlo  [author] 6 Jun, 2017 @ 3:39am 
Check out tne new reddit modpack from this month, featuring this item!

Merlo  [author] 31 May, 2017 @ 8:52am 
@SmakeS, I'll look into it. Balance is actually important to the item itself, so the stats boost could be reduced to make up for that. The cry is in just to make the item more fair, and is pretty subtle imo. But I'll definitively try a few balance patches!
JasperJava 31 May, 2017 @ 5:43am 
constuctive critisum: i think you need to improve the chances of finding that enemy or reduce abilitys given
rage mode: give me a ***** better item with ***** better abilitys




















Розовый Ленивец 30 May, 2017 @ 3:53pm 
Such a cool idea, but no balance. Anyone who has eyes understand that the item is too strong. Five types of paranoid enemies do not even always meet for the run. And few of them can survive from the double damage. And some enemies become paranoid, but they do not attack themselves, they call other enemies (no effect for them from paranoia). And when the player hears crying, he just thinks "okay, I'll be more careful." It is absolutely obvious that at least this crying should be removed. After all, the very word paranoia also means fear of EVERYONE, and not "I hear a cry - I stand as far as possible." If the player is afraid of everyone, then the name "Paranoia" becomes meaningful. And the player will have a real choice whether to take the item from the devil.
p.s. maybe wrong english, translate online translator.
Merlo  [author] 15 May, 2017 @ 9:54pm 
I'm having a look, thanks for the heads-up​
Serengeti 15 May, 2017 @ 2:17pm 
Mod is bugged. Damage bonus is lost upon changing floors. Exiting & continuing fixes issue temporarily. Have reproduced the issue with no other mods running.
Merlo  [author] 14 May, 2017 @ 3:27am 
Other mods might be an issue, but there's not much I can do, since every mod is coded differently. The way Isaac handles stats has always been weird to me, but I tried and made it work the best I could with my understanding of it. If you want more intensive data for testing, go into your Documents/My Games/The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ folder and check the log.txt file. While in a run, if you search for Paranoia Enemies in there it should show the ID for the 5 Paranoia Enemies for the run, that you can spawn in from the console. Hope that helps!
Almea 14 May, 2017 @ 12:52am 
I'm not sure of the reason, but I don't think it's working for me. I saw double damage for the room I picked it up on, but then I think it disappeared.I didn't encounter any PAranoia enemies either, and I only picked the item up on caves.

It might be a mod issue, but I have about 20 or so, so it'll be an issue to figure out which. I have nothing that really "interferes" with items, however.
AmyPercent 13 May, 2017 @ 3:57pm 
Okay, conflict number 2 coming atcha. It seems that the mod alotmoreitems nullifies the damage from the item.
AmyPercent 13 May, 2017 @ 3:50pm 
So a while ago I reported that I didn't seem to be properly getting the effects from the item. After some trial and error, I discovered it to be the Jack in the Box mod which seems to nullify the item's effects entirely. I will keep poking around and see if I can find any other conflicts.
Spamster 13 May, 2017 @ 10:54am 
I was like "Wow, that sounds overpow- Oh. Ooooohhhh......."

That's actually pretty neat. Good job to both of you.
Spydercrawler 13 May, 2017 @ 9:35am 
Hey, by the way, your description says -3 tears, but I think you mean tear delay.
Arte en Botella 13 May, 2017 @ 4:58am 
alright, commented on that post you made in the subreddit as "FantasmaNaranja" :2016villain:
Merlo  [author] 13 May, 2017 @ 3:08am 
Check out the isaac subreddit, or just add me here on steam!
Arte en Botella 13 May, 2017 @ 12:49am 
so where could i submit ideas and such?, i was planning on doing a mod but i have 0 know how of coding or anything but basic spriting (by ideas i mean sprites)
Skydragon222 8 May, 2017 @ 6:27pm 
This item is cool, but the stat ups seem to keep disappearing. Sometimes when I go down a floor or pick up an item the stat ups granted by this item completely disappear. I have to leave the game and re-enter to get the stats back.
Xel562 8 May, 2017 @ 2:21pm 
Wow this item is incredible for Keeper! I hope it gets into a booster pack :D
Merlo  [author] 8 May, 2017 @ 9:00am 
I'm definitively uploading a full pack when I have more content, but as for now I'll keep uploading single mods, to show off the ideas. Sorry!
TheTurtleMelon 8 May, 2017 @ 7:44am 
i like all your items but having lots of single item mods seems to slow my game down, any chance you can make these into a mod pack that just gets updated when a new item/trinket is created?
