MELIS - Afterbirth+ Mod

[@Maddogs1]

Thanks once again for playing my character, I'm glad they're reaching you! I'm so confused as to how every single time you play one of my characters you get Humbling Bundle and The Small Rock in the first two floor, as well as stupidly good items all run ._. HuttsLuck! - There was an update to the API yesterday which allows custom keybinds, however for now it's very complex and I only know how to set things via challenges... If that becomes easier, I can make Silas and Melis have active items too. - Absorbing souls is important as hell for Melis, my record is killing delirium with 734 souls! - I've looked into changing the spacebar item so it has charge, or make it have one or two uses per room depending on other active items, will look more into that after the HUGE silas update ;) - Melis is meant to start out very difficult and scale well for the end-game bosses, however you got so many damage and tear ups that nothing stood a chance! I'll look into rebalancing the spacebar though. - Removing all the items from a room will be fixed tomorrow! - Making ONLY black hearts spawn would be a great idea, not bad! - Paying health is not only a good idea but also thematically sound, brilliant! Will look into that! I have a third character on the workshop but it'll still need quite a bit of tweaking until I'd be happy with showcases etc, thank you so much for the feedback on Melis, these were great ideas and the last two I will be 100% adding!

[@connorchin-quee9850]

Maddog s Ah! This was so good again! I'm also sorta confused about how the spacebar item works but that's probs because I'm a goof. Thanks for making this!

[@escobruh]

I had an idea to increase the difficulty. If the number of souls you had was the percent extra bonus damage (or health or something) bosses had, you would have to think much harder about when you stopped absorbing souls. Then again, it would be a nightmare to beat delirium at 730% bonus damage...

[@Hutts]

Perhaps instead of having the soul sucking being a space bar item, you could literally make it so you have to run into the charmed enemy to "eat" it. That way it would bring more use to the ability to steer the charmed enemies with the crosshair. And bring more of a risk/reward type deal into it. It might be difficult to touch the enemy with too many demon babies and power but perhaps that's not a bad thing? Just some ideas.

[@Vojife]

I think another way to balance this character could be simply that the damage your aura deals stays low and deosn't stack up with your damage stat. That way it'll be useful at first and it will compensate for the low fire rate nicely, but later it will just be better to use your orbiting familiars.

[@shouse_zip]

This mod does a really good job at making a character that is weak and hard to play at first, but becomes quite powerful later. It also does that by including original mechanics, not giving you half a heart, not by telling you "Beat a stage without taking damage with this super weak character! Yay!". Good job modder! (Also, I have to agree with Hutts, it needs to be nerfed a bit when you get too strong. Maybe make the damage split between the familiars? Like if you have 10 Dmg. and you have 2 babies, every baby gets 0.65 of your overall damage, if you have 3, everyone gets 0.45 and so on)

[@Jeyrolami]

*singing* "Stompin' on ants, sucking their souls. Stompin' on ants, SOULS SOULS SOULS"

[@AbsoluteMaddLadd]

If anyone is curious how the souls turning into familiars works, it's not like it says on the mod page. It says every 20 but it's 25, 75, 150, and then theoretically 250, because the number of souls increases by 25 each time.

[@The-Omega-Blade]

Some balancing things could be as such: 1) All Items cost one heart to get (devil deals still 3 as usual for no red hearts) 2) ONLY soul/ black hearts 3) A Mode switch (One is absorb mode where your circle will do damage then and allows you to devour souls while the other mode focuses on your familiers) 4) Cannot take familiers and will turn into 1 soul heart instead (so you dont have a full on roit squad mowing down rooms) 5) As Hutts said, no heart drops EVER and only can get them from Shops, Active Items, Soul Havesting and the card/pill that gives soul hearts (but gain one soul heart for every floor start, so you dont just fall over dead by floor 3) these are my idea's, maybe this makes it a little _too_ hard but i've played around with this mod too and you can just destroy everything past the Mom fight by that time and will always be loaded on hearts. I'd like to see what people would think of this even know this is a late comment.

its a geometric progression which means the jumps between upgrades grows each time by a certain number the first jump was by 25 the second by 50 the third by 75 and so on

[@Maddogs1]

0-25-75-150-250-500-1000-2500 It's a geometric progression by 25 up until 500, at which I just scaled them so it was unlikely to be reached.

[@justkyle93]

No, he's saying the amount of souls required jumped by that much. So at 25 he got a familiar, then at 75 (added 50), then again at 150 (added 75)

[@jasonbrose6743]

I think to balance it and make it more fun, the damage should be buffed and have her familiars removed with her damage only being her aura, which now can charm people. It would be an interesting playstyle and her synergies would be pretty cool, with tear effects now being aura effects and whatnot.

[@blockeontheleafeon]

Looks like a Character that I'm going to add to this Game. I won't Spoil what it is, but it's Blindfolded while having an Orbiting Robo-Baby (With a Small Chance to get Robo-Baby 2.0 when Starting a Run.) I'll Release more Info on this Character when we get to it! ;)

hutts can you try the rainmaker mod? its a new playable character based on the rainmaker from antibirth

[@iamBOXO]

REPENTENCE BICHES

[@embercoral]

I have an idea for a modded character that behaves similarly to Kirby. He would be another character with an irreplaceable activated item, unfortunately, but it's one that the entire play mechanic would revolve around. This item would be called Inhale, and it would work kinda like Mom's Bracelet in Antibirth when you first start out. This would be essential to your survival because you'd be unable to shoot tears by any means. Using the spacebar would allow you to suck up whatever is closest to you, whether it be an obstacle or an enemy. Pressing the spacebar again would then cause one of two things to happen. Either the object would be spat back out to do damage to enemies in its path, or it would be swallowed to give you an ability. Once you'd gain an ability, you could finally start shooting as you normally would. The ability given to you would depend on what you swallow, so it could be possible to get rarer weapons like ipecac, lasers, and brimstone without having to find the corresponding passive items. However, if at any point you were to be damaged, you'd have a small chance of losing your ability, forcing you to inhale again until you get something else to replace it. Passives you obtain would stack with your ability, and you'd also have the option of discarding your ability manually with the spacebar if you find something more favorable. Obviously, the lack of an ability would be tricky in situations where you can't suck up a larger enemy and there are no obstacles to spit, but perhaps the room layouts could also be edited accordingly to make that scenario less likely to occur... I haven't done any real modding yet, but I am learning. I hope to make this a reality someday.

[@JohnBainbridge0]

All they have to do to balance it is make the active item passive and de-power it a bit. So, your aura does damage, but that's it. If you kill someone with your aura, you get a soul; maybe even just a chance for a soul per kill. That does away with the insta-kill OPness. That said, it's a really cool character concept.

[@Anon.Armageddon]

A new Melis! Only Charming shots through demon b o i s, has ability to *s u c c* the souls of the alive.

[@TheElemento158]

I played this mod, and got almost no damage upgrades, grabbed soy milk FOR SCIENCE, then found brimstone. Things were dying so quick I could barely get enough souls to get to five familiars

[@babythorgaming2166]

Hutts, don't let ANYONE bring you down! I love your singing (and in fact, I'm a bit jealous of your voice) and if people are shitting on your neck about it, then they can just go elsewhere.

[@bcatgamering]

Making the use item charge like the boomerang might be a good start for balance's sake.

[@donovanplumlee7071]

"WORTH THE PAIN!!!" gets two souls

[@djdano92]

1st thing that popped into my head to balance it out was that every extra familiar you get you take an extra half of heart damage per familiar, so example is your 1st/starter familiar = no negative but your 2nd will be a full heart and 3rd would be heart and half. So then you would be like ok after the 2nd i won't get no more familiar's because on the Womb it's double damage so you would basically be taking quad damage, it's just a little 2 cents on the matter if the mod creator is reading the comments. :)

[@Zippyheru]

He says the character is overpowered but he literally carries the best items (a lot of damage items too) with him.

[@GreedyRadish]

I think the space bar should switch between absorb mode and control mode. In absorb mode your aura damages enemies and automatically absorbs their souls when they are low. Also, the babies stop firing and maybe become bullet blockers. In control mode the aura no longer damages and instead it charms enemies and lets you control them. Another good change might be to only get flight and spectral tears after you've absorbed a base number of souls.

[@Aleswar123]

Hutts pause at 15:07 all your health disappears and you activate the necronomicon effect a bunch of times.

[@toastydevil]

What's funny is, hutts asked for multiple active effects, then got upset with the new pocket active that is used for multiple active items

[@thecityshanker8913]

15:51 when you know your overpowered as balls

[@KR33PYCR33P3R]

It looks like when you have enough souls, you get a baby, but, while he was on the womb, it took 5 or 6 of his black hearts.

[@trolaronder-rukin5052]

Here is a good build with that character, brimstone, rubber cement, my reflection. Challenge half: complete a full run(beat everyone possible, bossrush, hush, mega satan, ???/the lamb, and delirium), you can only pick up stat upgrades, but no tear modifiers. You cant floor skip or reroll your character. You must full clear the void before fighting delirium. Also you have to clear every room.

[@cryztei]

When hurts got brimstone it looks like the Death Star from star wars

[@bracoeth]

Hurts really went downhill when he went through his edgy name phase.

[@SunbleachedAngel]

It's an extra demon at 25, 75, 150, 250, 500, 1000 and 2500. That's what the developer wrote to me

[@AetherBoye]

Sunbleached Angel pretty sure not

[@Maddogs1]

Nope, he's exactly right.

[@Tigercup9]

After he got his third at 75, I worked it out that either you got the next one at double the distance since the last one(from 0 to 25, distance of 25, double to 50, 50+25=75) and would therefor get his fourth at 175, or the distance just went up 25 every time. Good to know I was correct right up until 250

[@AuroraVeil_]

What I'd do for this mod is lean into the succubus things. Since they need to feed on things to survive, maybe you take a half heart of damage every minute you don't kill with the spacebar item?

the space bar item should be a 1 second cooldown. ultimately not that big a difference but you may have to actually think. also maybe something like a damage divider on your babies might be helpful as it would take longer to reach peak strength

[@ThePatriot09]

Hutts be like this character is beyond OPOPOP. -Has a fuck ton of the best pure damage and stat upgrades in the game- .......

[@PavloProtasenya1212]

To add any challenge: Remove killing charmed enemies on spacebar item. Charmed enemies can damage you but won't intend to do so. However, they die after a while. Reduce range of ring. Spacebar item converts heart drops into souls, or if room is not completed (enemies are in it), sacrifices a heart to guaranteedly eat souls of enemies throughout the room (as in whoever dies in it gives you a soul) What it does? It does heavily gimp your capability to eat sweet sweet souls, which also means you progress slower. Also makes charming enemies more of a defense than offense, and not beinf able to promptly end their life and them actually being able to, for example, explode and deal damage to you, to accidentally damage you.

[@Maddogs1]

Since you seem to have alot of ideas, how about this: When you use the spacebar item, it plays an animation and freezes you on the spot for 1-1.5 seconds so you should use it intelligently?

[@ProjectLuark]

So this character is a succubus. A Demonic, Love Charming, succubus. That's an amazing thought of a character!

[@slendernesiadevilyra1474]

I guess ti make it less OP is, give the active item a charge of 1, so you cant use it multiple times in a room, with 1 charge you can do it every room.

[@benjamoody9873]

I think the system for getting succubus baby things is you take 25 souls then add 50 to your last total and then 75 etc.

[@factsheet4930]

Hey Hutts, serious question... do you think the Keeper should start with Greeds Gullet after it has been unlocked? Or would that ruin it for you playing with him? For those who don't know, it makes it so he would gain one extra heart, or coin container every 25 coins you have, for 6 at 99 coins... but if you spend coins you lose them
