Greed Mode Improved Repentance
After months of development hell, it is finally here! The Repentance update to Greed Mode Improved!
As the title suggests, this mod improves greed / greedier to be a lot more fun, balanced, and adds a lot more variety to both modes. This mod does make greed / greedier easier, but that wasn’t my goal. My goal was to make greed / greedier less of a slog to play. Greedier especially.
Here is a (hopefully) complete list of changes this mod makes:
—————————————————–
– A lot of waves have been adjusted in minor ways to make dealing with them a bit more manageable and fair.
– Bosses now respect their boundaries! With the exception of bosses from previous floors, the bosses that appear on each floor are consistent with the floor they appear on in normal / hard.
– Adds a ton of and alters existing special rooms to make them much more interesting, varied, and have all sorts of goodies to make playing greed / greedier less of a slog. Some rooms even utilize gimmicks Repentance added.
– Enemies that should appear on certain floors like prey in the flooded caves now do. The same is true for bosses like Reap Creep in the depths.
– The shop floor has been overhauled! Several new enemies have been added to already existing and new waves to add more variety and keep it from being one of the least interesting floors of your run. Almost all boss waves have been adjusted and a ton of new ones have been added too! Because of how many boss waves have been altered and added, you shouldn’t encounter two Stains in the nightmare wave as often anymore.
– Troll bombs waves no longer exist. They have been replaced with waves that include enemies from the floor you are on, bomb flies, or migraines (if this turns out to be a change no one likes, I have no problem reverting it).
– There are now new layouts for the arenas on each floor. Most only have a few, some like the shop have several.
– Secret rooms are actually worth searching for. You can find consumables, items, machines, and other helpful goodies in them.
– Ultra Greed’s floor has been adjusted. The spawn room now has four golden chests in it so you can get rid of any extra keys you have and the placements of the bosses and enemies that appear in the first boss room has been tweaked so the chances of you taking unfair damage has been significantly reduced.
– Angel and devil rooms are almost as good as each other now. Because of how good the items Repentance added to the angel room pools are, angel rooms are always going to be the best of the two to shoot for. There isn’t much I can do to make them equally as good as each other, but I tried.
– Greed donation machines can sometimes appear in shops and very rarely in secret rooms.
– Coins can sometimes be found outside of completing waves.
– The Bloat is a less common foe and always appears towards the bottom of the room to prevent unfair damage.
– Mom’s heart and It Lives no longer appear in the womb floors. It doesn’t make sense to me that no final bosses from normal / hard are in greed / greedier except for them, so I decided to remove them. Especially since nothing special happens when you beat them.
– There are less waves that feature more than one Stain together.
– A few secrets have been added.
– There are now rare variations of the shop that can appear just like in normal / hard.
– Mod config support! Pairing GMI with any mod config menu mods gives you access to optional patches you can toggle! Right now there are only three. Two of them enable the nerfs to how much health Ultra Greed, Ultra Greedier, and greed gapers have from the original release of this mod and the third is an option to disable greed machines in locations outside of the final floor. Instead of deleting them outright, they get replaced by normal slot machines.
– Most (if not all) of the questionable design choices made in the original mod have been removed.
– And some minor changes!

Do NOT subscribe to this mod if you are playing Afterbirth +. It is not compatible with it and includes a lot of content that is only in Repentance.
Instead, please subscribe to the legacy version of this mod. It isn’t the best and isn’t as polished, but it includes a lot of the changes this mod makes.

Also, I am NOT responsible if this mod stops working after you combine it with a bunch of other mods that change things in greed / greedier. Because of how the modding API works, combining mods that alter the same files causes them to conflict with each other, which can lead to the mods not working, instability, and crashing. There is nothing I can do about this and I don’t want to receive any reports that this mod is causing problems in someone’s game because they tried to use it with other greed / greedier mods.

Compatible mods:
—————————————————–
Alt Path in Greed Mode – This mod made by Gamonymous adds the alt path floors into greed mode. It is compatible with GMI, but right now, there is a problem where the 00.special rooms.stb in the mod overwrites the one in GMI, causing most (sometimes all) special rooms in the mod to be replaced by the ones from the vanilla game. Using them together still allows for everything else GMI changes to work properly, so if you just want to use GMI for the wave and final floor changes, you’re set, but if you want all of the special room changes, you need to copy the 00.special rooms.stb file from GMI’s greed room folder and replace the one in Alt Path in Greed Mode’s with it.
[REP] Planetariums in Greed Mode – This mod made by JamesB456 adds planetariums into greed mode. It has zero conflicts with GMI and works as it should.
[REP] The Cathedral in Greed Mode – This mod made by JamesB456 adds the cathedral into greed mode and gives you the choice to either go there or Sheol after completing any of the womb floors. It has zero conflicts with GMI and I strongly recommend using it with it. It is well balanced and helps make greed mode feel even more complete. I do not suggest using it with Alt Path in Greed Mode due to compatibility issues.
