Honestly, this character has just been "made to work in repentance", not much has been upgraded as you may have noticed. There are probably a lot of rep interactions that are either missing or are not as exciting as they could be. I may give this one a pass someday to add the missing stuff but no promises....it's been 4 years since I made this one and a lot of the decisions I made for it I no longer agree with, so my motivation for making much changes is pretty low.

wait, does eknoh have a birthright yet?

There wont be custom controls and the mod already works with controllers so I dunno what ZapZ4pp is talking about, in fact, I playtested this one with a controller.

well im coming back to this mods page asking if there could be custom controls? with the mod config mod maybe

controller support when?

Alright, Spirit sword now kind of works and Almond milk should work just fine. Spirit sword basically just allows you to swing the sword as you fire (you still fire tho), it's nothing spectacular, it's slightly more interesting than the knife.
The main reason why most synergies are lame is mainly because I dont really enjoy working on synergies, specially with items that do their best to be hard to work with (like the knife or the sword which are an absolute pain). BUT if you find stuff that straight up doesnt work let me know and I'll try to fix it.

ok thank you

Ill look at the chara screen again, but the reason why it's that way is so it looks decent on both versions of the game. I can live with a splat of blood being a little off rather than having it look completely wrong in AB+.
I can see how some of the rep synergies not working may be an issue, the reason why I didnt make them yet is because I didnt want to spoil myself the items, and I still dont, but I'll see if I can cover the most glaring ones.

its an ocd thing but can you fix the character select screen
the paper is slightly smaller making the other characters clip off slightly

oh and one last thing

its not rapid fire like soy milk

spirit sword (could work like hollow knight) and the fact that almond milk doesn't work right

Any specific synergy?. Not gonna lie, going back to add synergies is sort of a pain but if theres a specific one that you want or annoys you I may add it.

i'm not asking for a tainted (i don't want one) i'm just asking for more synergy's

The purpose is to make people stop asking, in case it wasnt clear enough. However, while the sarcasm was, indeed, intended, it was not my intention to be rude. If the sole existence of sarcasm in a comment offends you or seems rude to you, then just dont read my comments, you wont miss much.

I like the mod, but i really dont see a purpose in being rude and sarcastic about it. I think its perfectly fine to request something in something you really like lmao

Oh yea, Im obligated to make a tainted version for my 3 year old character, just because I dared to make it work in repentance, let me just recolor Eknoh real quick, make his jump a lil higher and call it a day.
...
Now, being serious, I wont make tainted versions for my old characters rn because there is a lot of them that I want to change and not just add a tainted on top....so Ill eventually just remake them and add a tainted to said remake instead.

tl;dr: No, and I wont add a lame lazy tainted either, like some other modders have been doing so people stop bothering them, lol.

its already repentance

repentance pls, i want a tainted version

The api doesnt allow for room restrictions for a specific character....so no, I cannot.

can you restrict some enemies and rooms cuz some of these cause me to die way way too much cuz of the amount or types of enemies in it

is very hard and is good

I had this character back in my mind after seeing back on release a TearsofGrace video about this... never played it until now and it's both the second hardest (sorry edith) but also the most fun character I have yet to find. Can't wait to see what's coming next!

I can already imagine a tainted Eknoh being something like VVVVV. really excited to see what you come up with!

Glad to hear, you can expect equally confusing new alt names for them too, lol.

Lol nice, hearing the semi-origins of these characters makes me love their concepts even more (even though I'm too bad to ever properly play any of them lol). Super excited for their Repentance counterparts nevertheless!

Noone asked that in the comments, i dont think, believe it or not.
-Agnis: Originally, it was Agni, the hindu god of fire, and the character was based around fire, as the name implies. You can still see the abundance of fire on her sprites and effects, but her main gimmick was changed because I thought fire was far too generic and overdone for a gimmick. I added an S to the end because Im lazy and didnt want it to be Agni anymore, lol.

-Gurzil : is an ancient berber deity who fought and usually had a Bull-like-humanoid appearence. I decided on it due to Gurzil's hairstyle, which was originally bassed on a scene from Ace Ventura 2 where Ace gets his hair scrambled into something like Gurzil's hair.

-Eknoh: I sort of gave up , started with Techno and scrambled the letters until I got Echnot, removed the t and changed it a little to make it more "unique"?.

Sorry if people have already asked this hundreds of times lol, but do the names of your custom characters have any special meanings or origins? Like the characters in vanilla Isaac and most modded characters get their names from Biblical references and such, and I was curious if yours did the same thing or if they were simply names you came up with. If the names (Gurzil, Agnis, Eknoh) ARE based upon existing ideas or references, what are they?

Please use a single comment instead of 2 in a row.
Now, Im gonna be real. I dont have much plans for this iteration of Eknoh in repentance, same goes for my other characters, I ported them so you can still play them as they were in AB+. Also, I never really cared about co-op so I dont really guarantee them getting compatible.
I do have plans for remaking all of my 3 characters in the future, more oriented towards repentance, with tainted and all, but time will tell if those "wants" materialize or not.

The rope does work in repentance, if it doesnt work for you it's probably due to a mod incompatibility. Probably some mod that fucks tears in the wrong way, some do.

the rope won't work in repentance

Free curse rooms and it works with The Pogging of Isaac, 10/10

ok

no

okay

I wont add a tainted version on this mod entry, I have other plants for Eknoh....that do have a tainted version in them, but they are going to take time.
Basically, after da rules ettles down for a bit, I'll completley recode this mod and make an "alt Eknoh" that functions very differently from this one, while still being a platformer, obviously. And that character(I still dont know the name) will have a tainted version.
I dont want to just add a lazy reskin as a tainted for this one, and tainteds seem to be fucked in AB+(yes, they still show up and dont work there, which is annoying).....so yea, you'll need ot wait for that one.

how is tainted eknoh going to work

how to turn Isaac into a metroidvania: the character

Thank you so much for updating him! Eknoh was one of my favorite modded characters in AB+, and I was a bit worried he wouldn't be updated. Happy to hear that isn't the case. A tainted version would be cool, but obviously isn't necessary.

@Alsend_Drake : that was before I updated this one for rep, thats no longer the case, make sure your mod is updated.
@Leosaurd: Im actually planning to release a "character set" in the future that would include alternative versions of all my 3 characters, which would work in drastically different ways, only sharing the gimmicks(platformer/turets/outofbody) and I'll give those a tainted....about Eknoh and the other 2, I duno know If I'll give them a tainted, I would rather not give them one than give them a simple reskin like other character mods are doing, I think thats kind of lame.

it is surprising how well this character works in repentance

Out of curiosity, would you ever consider making a tainted version of Eknoh? I think it'd be cool to see what you consider a "tainted" Eknoh, along with the other characters :D

Really love this guy, even if I always die, but bewarned he's broken in Repentence. The rope is just a extreme rapidfire of tears, making it useless for traversal.

is this compatible with repentence?

Great to hear, I'll look forward to it.

Thanks!, I do update old mods mostly for fixing up stuff that gets reported or balance changes...I dont usually add much after release. Then again, I do have some plans that may or may not see the light of day for Eknoh(and some alts too), so who knows?.
About repentance, yea, I'll update my mods to work with repentance as soon as I can after it comes out. I will probably use that chance to make slight changes and stuff, could serve as an excuse, heh.

This is genuinely the coolest character mod I've ever played, serious props to you. Do you plan on updating it at any point after repentance comes out?
