REPENTOGON

Brave, intrepid Lua modders: rejoice, for REPENTOGON has arrived!

REPENTOGON v1.1.0 has been released! We now have support for Repentance+! The REPENTOGON Launcher is now required to use REPENTOGON. All existing users should refer to our website at repentogon.com/install.html for migration details and an FAQ about the launcher.

@_Sylmir @HuttsLP @Byser0435 REPENTOGON is a large community project, and most of us developers have been modding Isaac for years- some over a decade. We wouldn't risk our reputations to put malware in REPENTOGON. The project is open source and code can be audited at any time.

@_Sylmir @HuttsLP @Byser0435 The updater is written in Python and distributed using PyInstaller. Unfortunately, a lot of viruses use this too so anything using PyInstaller is immediately suspicious to AVs. The updater will soon be discontinued in favor of the launcher, which will make this a non issue.

While things seem stable currently, we occasionally find or are made aware of an edge case that gets missed. This is trial and error and is a big part of why this has taken so long. Rest assured the project is NOT dead, and there WILL be an update for Repentance+.

While Repentance+ itself makes a lot of changes that makes this more upfront work, this process must also be repeated with every Rep+ update.

Work on porting REPENTOGON to Repentance+ is still underway. We have reached the point where mods that rely on REPENTOGON are mostly stable and don't have any major problems.

@LasagneB0lnee Not necessary, recent versions of REPENTOGON disable themselves when a version mismatch is detected.

@REPENTOGON How can I turn off Repentogon or, at the very least prevent it from breaking?

Based on SteamDB, we now have reason to believe today's update will actually be a separate free DLC. If this ends up being the case, REPENTOGON should continue to function with no issue, provided the DLC is not installed.

@DanielF9129 Of course, the upcoming one is believed to be free, but a DLC following this structure nonetheless.

@DanielF9129 Right. Think of Isaac DLC as a massive paid update instead of a traditional DLC.

@DanielF9129 This is historically not how Isaac DLC has worked. Every DLC is treated as a new forward point, with previous DLCs knowing nothing of future ones and effectively abandoned. No update to "accept" the DLC would be required.

@REPENTOGON The game might still update to accept the DLC

We still plan to migrate to the new version but cannot provide an ETA.

We are now on Bluesky and the Fediverse (Mastodon and friends)! You can follow us on Bluesky @repentogon.com or on the Fediverse @repentogon.com@bsky.brid.gy. The latter is a bridge from Bluesky, so may take some time to register across all Fediverse servers.

Our recent hotpatches allow REPENTOGON to still load the game if an unsupported version is detected. This means that the game will still load, just without REPENTOGON, with no further action required. Once we have released a new version for the update we will announce it here.

As soon as the update releases, we will be hard at work porting REPENTOGON to the new version. We cannot provide any exact timeframe at this time.

As a reminder: the upcoming co-op update for Repentance on November 18th will break REPENTOGON. This is unavoidable due to the nature of the project. Please do not pester the devs about REPENTOGON breaking- there's nothing they can do.

As previously communicated, we intend to deprecate the current REPENTOGON launch method and move to a dedicated launcher. Work is coming along nicely on that front and we hope to have more to share soon.

REPENTOGON v1.0.12 has been released! Rooms can now be placed arbitrarily using the Level class, pocket items now have "weight" and "hidden" parameters, and boss/bestiary kills can now be tracked. The Beam class has been refined as well. Relaunch Isaac to download the update.
