Super Meat Boy Co-Creator's New Game Coming In August
Edmund McMillen, one half of Super Meat Boy's Team Meat, has revealed more on The Binding of Isaac due next month.
McMillen describes the game as "a roguelike shooter based on the dungeon structure of Zelda (NES). At its core it controls like Smash TV/Robotron in a randomly generated semi-RPG world filled with powerups items and special abilities."
Issac will be downloadable via Steam in August, though pricing has not been announced yet.
McMillen clarifies that this is not the next Team Meat game, noting that he is designing it while Florian Himsl is programming. However, SMB composer Danny b is back to write the tunes for Isaac.
For those wondering about McMIllen's next Team Meat pairing with programmer Tommy Refenes, he says that it's "in the works" and that they are "keeping it a secret for a while."
