      Have you thought about doing comics again... but like, in your downtime when you aren't working with games? Not zines, but serious printed comics.

      Hi Ed, love your work. As a wannabe game developer I want to ask you if you could have achieved the success you have without help from friends and family? I'm lucky that my mother and s/father will invest if I ask them, but worry about failing them...?

      without the support of my friend, wife and family it would have been extremely hard to do what i have done. financially my parents didnt invest much in my career and im not a fan of being in debt to anyone so i try to do things that dont require money to make.

      luckly games really dont cost anything to make aside from the money you need to live. so if you worry about asking for them to invest in you and are to worried you might let them down, move back home and work on your projects there so there isnt any money invested.

      also be sure you are good at what you do and love it before you put any serious time/money into a game you sell. i made around 7 games before i started making any money, make a few 1st to make sure you are into making games.

      Are we to expect a summer or autumn release for Mew-Genics, if you had to guess? :)

      probably later than that

      Some suggestions: 1. AA Battery. Fully recharges an item upon use. Or there could be a pill/card with same effect. I just really like the idea of consmable batteries lying around. 2. Library Card trinket (higher chance of spawing libraries) 3. The Gogg

      :) if only people knew how many aspects of items they suggest have been added...

      Do you have a top 3 for favorite art from the ravnica block?

      im not much of a fan of any magic art these days :| all the really stylish stuff has been removed for more traditional and visuals functional instead of unique/creative.

      i honestly cant even tell the different in artistic styles now, they all look the same ..

      Any word on Rebirth for the 3DS yet? I'm trying trying to decide between the Vita and the 3DS and I really want to be able to play Isaac on the train :3 I'm not sure I can bring myself to get the 3DS if I can't play Spelunky OR Isaac.

      when i know, everyone will know!

      You say you have a certain amount of games planned... Do you actually have any plans for sequels to games that you haven't even made yet?

      no, i dont design sequels for games i havent made yet :) all the games i have planned for the next few years are all basically new games for the most part.

      Hi,So if I have an idea for an item in The Binding Of Isaac:Rebirth and I wanted to tell it to you. How can I do that ? I mean reach out to you. And is there really any point in trying to do so? Do you take ideas for items? Cuz I think I have a unique one

      i did ask for fan ideas one day because so many suggested them, im only useing a few. i have well over 100 new items so chances are some aspect of your idea will already be in the game in some aspect but if you want to suggest it you can send me the idea here.

      I have a brand new game on my head)...last week I finally started writing the engine and such...I strongly believe that this game will be a very fun/unique game to play....but my problem is: How do I get my game known on the gaming community?

      if its good it will become known, just finish it and send it to all the websites that will showcase indie games/news

      If I was to make a game and include a SMB/Isaac inspired level, would you be okay with that? I am a fan of your work and I would love to reference it.
