future item ideas and suggestions
here are some ideas:
vaccum shoes - speed, shotspeed up, immunity to creep & deletes creep below isaac
heating mantle - aura that gives enemies damage weakness the longer they stand in it, car battery makes the range bigger and also adds a chance to set fire to enemies
snacks - health up, speed up, range up
pocket dimention - 6 charge q2 or 3 that transports all items/pickups in a room to a pocket room that can be accessed like a minecraft ender chest

also some stuff i want to add but no clue how to:
ai clone - clone of isaac with minisaac ai, shoots when isaac shoots

one thing i realised with mods including mine are that we completely ignore making "filler" items like breakfast or dessert because of them being not unique, that is fine but to keep it feeling vanilla i think mod developers need to add more filler items, stuff that adds range, shotspeed you get the point, we generally go straight to stuff like damage and tears
that is just my opinion though

feel free to suggest items down below, ill make them and give you credit if i feel the idea fits isaac and is within my modding capabilities

contirbuting some silly ideas!

Glowing Sand dust: Acts as an extra life of sorts, it activates Glowing Hourglass when you take lethal damage, works three times only

Spider Cider: Shot speed up, and Isaac has a low chance to creaste a small slowing creep under and enemy

Duke's Thrumpet: Spawns a random array of friendly/charmed flies aorund you

Glowdust: Isaac glows slightly and his tears too, removes curse of darkness, small chance to concuss enemies

Tech-99: Charges up a ball of energy/electricity and hwen you let go you shoot it

Used up eraser: very, very low chance to shoot a tear that erases an enemy

Tiny Satan: Small Satan head that is always behind Isaac and charges up lile Lil Brimstone and shoots a line of fire when you let go!

Chicken Drumstick: HP Up, Speed up

those are really good item ideas and fairly doable aswell
ill add a few after the coming soon™ maintenance update
i might change the item names a bit to be more sinister to fit the tone of isaac more but ill be sure to credit you for the item ideas on the eid and the mod desc!

used up eraser is the only real item i dont know about adding
the issue with that is that it would be either too overpowered or too underpowered depending on rng so fitting it into a quality would be difficult

there was an item from a monster train item pack called dante's cloak that gave a damage up at the cost of granting a random curse every floor. It's a smart idea of granting negatives to benefits, perhaps you could do something similar?

by the way, I'm loving this mod. great job! sparkling water makes for some really fun gameplay :)

ty for your feedback

i feel like most items in isaac follow these
granting negatives for balance reasons - 20/20 giving damage down
straight up good - mysterious liquid
or
straight up negatives with a upside that isnt or doesnt feel "intended" judging from the players perspective - curse of the tower, cursed eye
what you described doesnt fit in any of these but that doesnt mean it couldnt make a good item
its just mostly uncharted territory (imo) and might produce items that dont feel "quite right"
tldr - could make great items but its not been done (atleast in my eyes) officially and it might take alot of refining to make it feel good to play with

lol i just finished typing and god do i feel like a out of touch businessman
sorry for the sudden 7 page essay lmao

no, don't worry xD I agree. It's very unique, especially with adding curses. Curses are quite 'underdeveloped' in isaac, I would say, I wish there was more to it then just a random chance to get one when going to a new floor.

An item that plays around with curses doesn't sound too bad?
xperior  [developer] 13 Jun, 2024 @ 4:12am 
one idea i just came up with is that the item idea you suggested but you get to select the curse and cant select the same curse twice in a row
would narrow the rng alot giving the player a choice

make it so bombing the bounty table resets or change the current objective with the possibility to break
