Hello beautiful people, I’m zvrkinjo, or zverk, I know you missed me. Today, we are starting a new festival, it’s a special one.

Now, I know you’re going to ask: “Why is this festival special?”, or maybe you won’t, and the answer is, it’s our 1 year anniversary, isn’t that exciting?

For today, we are going to have 2 posts, one from me, talking about how this project started, and talking about it growing to this beautiful community, and one from Spearkiller, talking about some juicy spoilers, so have fun with that.

This “little” project started exactly a year ago, on the 16th February 2016, after I had an idea to start a community project in a The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + group on Facebook, in which I’m a mod. To my surprise, people reacted positively, and they started giving ideas, and helping in other ways in a few hours, soon, we already had a few people on the team. From the starting team, a lot of them are still active, people like Pieczy, Dylan, Shadow (Depressed Weeb) and Esteban. Soon we made our Discord server, which is sadly now dead, but we made another one, and a sheet for ideas. Since then, we got a lot of new people and ideas, and our server has 43 people, though not everyone is active.

We have an amazing community, and a lot of other mod makers helped us with some stuff, and our ARG, which we are so thankful for. A whole lot of stuff happened since we started, we had a lot of sad and happy moments we spent together, a lot of fun birthdays, and funny situations. Some of my favorite people I’ve met through this project, everyone is so friendly and so nice to each other, I’m proud of it.

Let’s talk about the name, why IPECAC Community Mod? It’s a very simple answer, my dear friend, Paweł Kaleta, who really likes Ipecac, suggested IPECAC Community Mod, but he accidentally wrote IPECAC with all capital letters, but we decided that it’s a good idea.

Since the start, we got a whole ton of ideas and suggestions, enough to make a whole DLC, which will be quite hard to make, so we decided to release the mod in parts, with every new major update having more new content, so we can release it as soon as possible.

If you’re curious how can you suggest some ideas, just join our public Discord server, you’ll be able to suggest stuff there.

Now I have to thank some people for keeping this project alive while I wasn’t here, much love to Pieczy, DorianX, Finn The Robot, pedroff_1, Shadow, Dylan, Spearkiller, and one great guy who sadly quit, for a couple of reasons, Damn Dude; I love you guys, and of course everyone else in the team ❤

That’s all from me today, I know I went from topic to topic, sorry for that, but what can I do, that’s just me. Have fun with this festival, it’s going to be a great one. One more thing, this week we’re going to have a lot of members, new and old, writing their own posts, and I’m really excited about that. I might talk to you again soon, bye.
