Awakening

Description
TBoI: Awakening offers small tweaks to every item in the game, many bosses and characters, and much more! It also introduces twenty-four brand new items, three new characters, and one dozen new challenges.

This mod's spiritual successor has been released. Check out "Absolution" on the workshop!

****************************************************************************************************

A description of the mod:

The goal of Awakening is to refresh and slightly reconstruct Isaac for added challenge intended toward veteran players.

I highly reccomend you use this mod in conjunction with "Hardmode Boss Patterns" for additional changes and challenge; also, Project ReRebirth (the other mod I have published) is included within, so you do *not* need both.

While this version is technically the full release, this mod is still a work in progress, and I have many more changes planned for the future, and I am open to any and all feedback - feel free to leave a rating and a comment!

@Ey Steve! - I am slowly working on a sequel to this mod that will be available for Repentance. You can check out the Alpha Pre-release version for AB+, it's called "Absolution" if you're interested.

@EternalOne - 'Tis a shame. But the good news is that I am actively working on the sequel, seeing as this community is surging again with news of a new DLC. Keep an eye out!

@IceMan I'm sorry that I haven't responded to this comment before hand, but that was intentional - he now starts with ???'s only Friend, so he essentially has a nerfed version of Ludo.

This mod made blue baby into the Blind Blue Baby. Could not shoot any tears, and I didnt have the poop to poop out

Whenever I activate this mod everytime I select a character they turn into a eyeball with lasers.

@Rob, as I've stating in another comment response, I plan on releasing a stand-alone 'new content' version once I release the successor, so keep an eye out! :)
