I am a fan of The Binding of Isaac, so now that the remake is half-way done, there are a ton of questions that I would love to ask lead designer Edmund McMillen. Luckily for people like me, he has spared us the effort and has now released a lengthy FAQ answering all those pesky questions.
There are so many interesting bits of information here that it’s difficult to summarize it all in a single news article, but the most interesting statement is in regards to Early Access:
“Q:Are you doing early access?!
A: hell no, rebirth is a game loaded with secrets and fun stuff i dont want anyone to see before anyone else. i also hate showing my wip games.”
More and more developers are using the Early Access service on Steam to release their near-finished products, so having a big name like Edmund say “no!” in such a definitive manner is an interesting turn of events. I also find myself agreeing with him on this subject, but that is just my personal dislike for the Early Access system. For more information, I recommend checking out the FAQ on Edmund’s blog.
