The Abyss
Changes the Womb into something that's always watching...
Created 9 years ago
WARNING:

This mod was and is still made only for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. This mod will not work correctly with Afterbirth, as it is missing the files for the new room types, as well as the lack of any alts for the new alternate Wombs that were introduced in the Afterbirth DLC.

A new 2.0 version may be released after Afterbirth+ is released, due to the current limitations of Isaac modding at the moment.

Thank you.

Here's a mod that replaces the entirety of The Womb/Utero with a new place named "The Abyss" (or "Noctis" if you're in Utero). The Abyss is always watching, and never takes its eyes off the inhabitants that lurk within...

HOW TO INSTALL:

Extract contents using your favorite archive program (I like 7-zip), and drag it into the 'resources' folder within your game directory, which is located within the Steam program directory:

Steam/steamapps/common/The Binding of Isaac Rebirth/resources

To uninstall, just delete the folders. The game will then default to whatever is in the "packed" folder.

Have fun! Feedback welcomed!

- Mr. Fred's portrait is now correct with the boss spot graphics for The Abyss

- Using the X-Ray Glasses now doesn't use a Womb colored hole-in-the-wall.

Will this be ever updated for AB and AB+? I really enjoyed it in Rebirth and I miss this gem.
Maybe! It's been so long and I think I lost the source files -- but I was working on a remake a little while ago. I've been back on an Isaac kick lately, and it'd be fun to do again!

Thanks for your comment! It means a lot.
can you make it any easier to download it would be great
It looks really cool, but maybe you could make it a whole new floor entirely?
Your mod was stolen by someone on the Steam Workshop, here's the link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=932913582
Hello! Thank you for bringing this whole thing up. I have reported it and it was taken down. Thank you again.
dan ahahhahahaha
I can post it again anytime
Well, you've made a scarier chapter than sheol, congratulations. Now making a scarier boss than Delirium it's a whole new level of difficulty...
You should port this to afterbirth+ looks cool but I cant use it....
Can't wait for the Afterbirth version!
Thanks! Now that it's summertime I think I'll get off my lazy tush and work on an AB version. :P
Aw yisss. I've been dying to play this.
I love this mod! could you make a mod that changes Sheol in to a more "Hell like" place, ans possibly change the name to "Hell" It would be fitting for the Satan fight, I just think the normal Sheol looks too much like the depths and necropolis. Just a suggestion.
I think I'd leave that to someone else actually, I think someone else would have a better grasp of making that mod rather than me where I have no time because college.

Sorry bud.
I just went through the trouble of manually searching and deleting afterbirth incopatibile files (like the stage progress thing [the pictures glitched over]), downloaded an unpacker just to know stage id's and changed almost the entirety of stages.xml just to rename the two floors. Absolutely worth it! Love the mod!
Aw thanks! I hope you'll be pleasantly suprised with what's coming soon! ;D
Is it gonna be an update to this mod, or is it going to be a new mod entirely? Just asking if I should keep track of this mod or keep looking for another mod of yours. The idea of Abyss and Noctis is pretty awesome
I'm making an update which is essentially a graphical overhaul of this mod since Afterbirth introduced new floor layouts and such! It should be out soon, when I got free time from college.
Hey I'm creating a full fledged expansion of the binding of isaac and I was wondering if I could use this floor in my mod?

I am making credits too so I would put your name in the credits of course
Thanks for asking beforehand friend. While I do appreciate the sentiment, I would prefer this to be it's own independent floor. This floor is actually a concept of a place of a story I'm writing, and I think I would prefer for this floor to be independent rather than in part of a mod.

I really appreciate you asking first, and I apologize if I dissapointed you or anything. I hope you understand and I hope you have a wonderful day. ;w;
Hey everyone who still looks at this mod, thank you for taking the time to gander! I was thinking of making a 2.0 version of this mod with a couple of friends to bring it to affect Afterbirth's new womb alt. And stuff. Stay tuned...?????
i got a funny run yestarday i got a floor with a 5 dice room i decided to go into it after boss then found my item room and found a forget me now. i could not stop laughing on how perfect that was
its better then being inside a womb with enemies at least (to much placenta)
Honestly, a reason why I like using this mod is because the Womb is very bright and red, which does bother my eyes. Although it isn't that way in the 3DS version, which makes it a lot more tolerable.
i spent an hour just looking at the eyes...
Stare too long and they start to know 0.0
Love it when I get curse of darkness in the Abyss. It really adds to the atmosphere.
Version 1.2.3 preview - https://youtu.be/AD5Mz-NUbUE
Dan. I remember u saying in a reddit post hat you did ATTEMPT to make a new texture for Mom's Heart/It Lives!, and if i am right, and you still have those textures, could you share them with me?
I don't think I have them anymore. Also, I've added you on Steam so I can discuss things regarding this mod with you one-on-one.
oh ok thx! also i asked someone to make a song for the Abyss, sinc he made one for Topheth.
I would like it if someone who could make some music that fits this level would do that... it'd be awesome to have an original music score for this mod!
Very interesting. In a good/weird way

I have done the work to it. just put this in your resources along with the Abyss' files, hence the name of being an "add-on", and it's a test since it is meant for you to preview it, Dan, and run the game, and then you know what to do from there. The description is a temporary one, hence it saying "(temp desc)" in it. it was the best i could come up with for the time being.
This is actually super cool, I was planning on some Abyss-esque items and this is actually really damn cool. I'll probably add it in the real mod for the next update.
please change the look of the costume design to look alot better in-game
Costume design? Sorry, a bit confused by the wording.
the file in the "costumes" folder that's in the "characters" folder
maybe It Lives!' theme can be Chorus Mortus
Well, thanks to my datefriend, the enemies you suggested are getting new Abyss-y sprites and will be packed in with a future update. They look rad, so stay tuned!
cool! in the future... well... that can wait...
but, when will it be updated, do u know?
Nothing much. I have been dealing with some sickness and some personal problems. I do apologize if there hasn't been any updates lately. Sorry again.
also, im making a retexture for the Blood Clot since u can get it by blowing up the special "rocks" in the womb, so i am just making it more "abyss-y"

My current name for it is "The Blind Eye", and, yes, I did get that name from Gravity Falls (if you don't know what that is, then, 1) I'm so sorry for you, and 2) It's a Disney Channel(Original channel it mainly showed on)/Disney XD(Current channel it mainly shows on) show that is weird-i think you know what it is)
enemies that may need changes:

Thank you for the feedback, I'll definitely look into making the enemies more Abyss-y.
you should also give the place some new, creepy, and atmospheric music, too
During testing, I have used Pulso Profundum from the Afterbirth DLC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ngZLjsxT0), but I did take it out at the last second. Do you have any suggestions for musical choices? I might reinstate the music I used during testing.
hmm well, it's fine now, but when Afterbirth comes out, you should have a different song so it won't be repetitive
I used it in my Mod ''Legends of Abyss''
Thank You A LOT
I appreciate you using it but please ask for permission before using. It's kinda stealing. :[
Okay, next time please consider asking permission before using any content from different mods.
you know, if you want the door for the dice room to look right, you could change the die room's color to fit the color of the doors of the abyss
Was planning that already for a future update, thanks to a large list of constructive feedback given to me on Reddit.
One day me and my friend got really bored and I was thinking of asking her about making a mockup for a place I had in mind for a story me and my datefriend are writing.

So my friend (sherlockhomo) made a mockup using an Isaac floor (the womb) as a basis, and it looked really rad and I put it in game.

After fixing a ridiculous bug where Pin would crash the entire game and fixing all the wall clipping, it started to all come together and I thought it was cool to post it publicily. So we did.

:'D
i love the look of this mod! it's pretty! i hope that a reskin to mom's heart and it lives goes out asap!
It would take a while! I was thinking about reskinning it but I don't know when I'd do it. I hope I can do it sometime soon though. ^.^
This mod looks pretty cool looking. I'm gonna try it out.
Thanks for trying! Any feedback or suggestions are really appreciated!
