Furtherance

A complete overhaul of the The old Furtherance MOD originally released in 2022. Coded from the ground up under the experienced eye of a single coder with the power of REPENTOGON, this new release breathes new life into every corner of the original MOD to create a sizeable quality package of content.

• 3 characters and 3 tainted characters
• Full completion mark unlocks for all characters
• 80 items
• 20 trinkets
• 20+ pickups, including cards, runes, and more!

Jacob’s first wife
Starts with Heart Renovator, a flowering representation of Leah’s love
Red health can overflow into a heart counter. Turn them into broken hearts and mend them with Heart Renovator to feel a little stronger, or leave them broken to get your tears flowing

One of the twelve apostles of Christianity
Starts with Keys to the Kingdom, a gift from the angels to open the gates of heaven
Use it to spare enemies. Bosses take longer to spare. Has special interactions with angels and in devil rooms!

Moses’ sister and the first female Jewish prophetess
Starts with Polydipsisa and Tambourine, overflowing with water and shaking enemies off your tail
Shoot large arcing tears that leave damaging puddles, every 12 shots also leaving a whirlpool. Puddles that touch have their lifetime extended!
Tambourine inflicts knockback to nearby enemies and briefly creates a gigantic puddle to help increase the lifetime of other puddles

Want to see if there’s anything you can add to your mod to be compatible with anything Furtherance adds? I recommend checking out the api file in scripts/furtherance/api.lua that should have all the details you need!

As for mods Furtherance has been made compatible with, here’s a short list:

• External Item Descriptions (Full English support. Translators are welcome to help!)
• Fiend Folio
• Epiphany
• The Future
• Pog For Good Items
• And many more!
