In 2011, Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl released The Binding of Isaac, a crude Flash project that grew into one of the most influential indie games of its era. We trace McMillen's path from comics to Super Meat Boy, his partnership with Himsl, and the deeply personal religious themes that shaped Isaac's grotesque story. The episode highlights its Zelda-inspired dungeons, roguelike randomization, and item transformations that turned every run into a new tale of survival. Our conversation explores critic and fan reactions, Nintendo's rejection over “blasphemous” content, and how expansions, remakes, and community mods expanded it into Rebirth, Afterbirth, and Repentance. From small experiment to genre-defining giant, we explore how Isaac sparked the roguelike revival. Join us as we dodge, cry, and descend into Isaac's basement on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Spelunky, part of a larger series on independent games. Tim uses the B word about the game, and we talk about the rigor with which one approaches the game, as well as some best practices for play, among other topics and listener mail. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played:  Into the Jungle (Tim) Issues covered: relative lack of text but narrative, blending between levels, the Tunnel Man, the gold key and the chest, triggering the golden path, bouncing off the game originally, practice and rigor, in the learning/knowledge phase, a platformer Tim would play, embracing the process, how you spend the time and how to learn, learning from deathly mistakes, Always Be Carrying, looking down, the brilliance of breaking the platformer mold, "this could be the run," the patterns of Spelunky, learning to play Chess, remembering in chunks, slipping into flow and staying, dying to the shopkeeper in a new way, stepping back with the analytical brain, how to use ropes, everything's physical, building up the things you can do, the Polaroid simulating after you die, similarities to Outer Wilds, sacrificing on the altar, the safe space of a coffin, making a choice, running vs not running, the exception that proves the rule, how the random seed works, animating a sprite on a curve, the first commercial game, frying a video card. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Rogue, Rogue Legacy (series), Dark Souls (series), Mario (series), Andy Nealen, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Remnant II, Chess, LostLake86, Legend of Zelda, Cave Story, Sasha/scarytiger, Daisuke Amaya, Wii, Nintendo Switch, Luke Theriault, Derek Yu, Aquaria, Alec Holowka, Bit Blot, World of Goo, Gish, Edmund McMillen, Lugaru HD, Wolfire Games, Humble Bundle, Penumbra, Frictional Games, Amnesia, Ori and the Blind Forest, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Spelunky! Errata: The eye is in fact called the Udjat Eye. And yes, it is in fact Edmund McMillen. Twitch: timlongojr  Discord  DevGameClub@gmail.com

Me and my hero Edmund McMillen discuss the games industry, leaning into your "weirdness" in 2025, and so much more!

This week, Zak and Aaron sit down with notable Austinite John Henderson, who has shipped numerous games and made a name for himself in the local development community for hosting Game Dev Beer Night and supporting aspiring professionals as they try to make sense of their careers.John was kind enough to share his insights on a wide range of topics from advice on finding fulfillment in your job to maintaining motivation to the state of the industry at large. A few technical difficulties during the recording may have changed the shape of this episode a bit, but John's perspective and honest opinions are well worth the listen.Also, apparently Aaron doesn't know what the word "erstwhile" means, and he deserves your scorn and derision.Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck out edouggieart on EtsyCheck out even more edouggieart on Instagram

It's Guess Who, but it's got a sexually implicit name and is maybe a commentary on capital punishment? Frank hosts this 2015 game by the team who brought you Super Meatboy and The Binding of Isaac is... a game... We discuss the difficulty of discerning what things are 'not gross' in this art style, kill a lot of people, Frank gives us stats on capital punishment and we meander into talk about Invincible and Justice League. This homage to Frank's finger tips leaves us thinking of newgrounds and ebaumsworld, but despite the fandom from Edmund Mcmillen the reviews aren't all good.

Following the recent episodes covering Berserk and Preacher, Liam and Jon thought they'd go for a hat-trick of depraved, disgusting works by trawling through the blood, guts and poo-infested subterranean depths of The Binding Of Isaac!  This is a video game that features a sobbing child fighting the demons in his own mind by firing his tears at them; the fact that Jon has sunk over 200 hours into playing it probably says a lot about him...

Video of this interview: http://bit.ly/Northernlion-EdmundMcMillen   Check out Edmund on Twitter: http://twitter.com/EdmundMcMillen​   and of course, Repentance comes out on Steam on the 31st of March: https://store.steampowered.com/app/14...​   It was a pleasure to get to talk to Edmund McMillen again on the cusp of the release of the final piece of The Binding of Isaac puzzle. We talked about the history (and legacy) of the game and how it's evolved over its accidentally marathonic lifespan, how fatherhood has changed each of us in our respective careers, and what's next after Isaac finally goes back in the box. Check it out!

Kelly, James, and I look at Edmund McMillen's and Florian Himsel's "The Binding of Isaac." This wonderfully grotesque rouge like, is their shot in the dark when they didn't know it would be so well received. Come with us as we fawn over this game, and all its gross goodness.

Rob chats with game developer Edmund McMillen about getting started in the industry, The Binding of Isaac, and his upcoming tabletop game Tapeworm. The post #322 – Edmund McMillen appeared first on The Geek Generation.

Edmund McMillen's The Binding of Isaac helped kickstart the mainstreaming of roguelike elements in indie games that we have been seeing trickle into the AAA industry over the last few years. Mixing top-down shooting with the dungeon exploration of a classic The Legend of Zelda title, The Binding of Isaac plays pitch perfectly for what it's designed to be. The randomized elements fit together seamlessly for a gameplay experience that's never the same twice in a row.  Should this 2011 indie hit be considered one of the best games of all-time?

From humble beginnings as a Flash game back in 2008, Super Meat Boy sprang forth from the minds of Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes after a brutal development process that placed everything on the line for the duo of Team Meat. The plucky platformer stole the hearts, minds, and wallets of gamers when it helped to ease mainstream gamers into the indie scene back in 2010.  Can its pinpoint platforming and blistering difficulty propel it to the pinnacle of gaming? Is Super Meat Boy one of the best games period?
