Nicalis’ offer to build a console version was too good to resist, so on the condition that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth be a true re-creation of the game rather than a port, development got started. The Binding of Isaac had earned its chance to be more than a personal creative challenge for Edmund McMillen and his friend and programmer Florian Himsl. The Wrath of the Lamb expansion had more than doubled the game’s initial scale, but even so there were things that had to be left out due to Flash’s limitations. Step 3) Profit wasn’t expected, so when the game did pretty ok for itself at the start, saw sales accelerate instead of decline after a few months, and then top a million copies in under a year, a serious re-think of Isaac‘s potential was in order.

The thought process was 1) Make game quick and 2) Don’t sweat the possibility of failure. The Binding of Isaac was originally made in Flash because it was easy and the tw0-person team was familiar with it. The other tracks, gifs, and reveals can be found on the developer blog for Rebirth.So what do you get a game thrown together quick and dirty on the assumption that nobody cares, when it goes on to sell over three million copies? How about a complete remake from the ground up, using a brand-new engine, improved art style, and including every idea, no matter how crazy, that the original version just couldn’t pull off.
