Edmund McMillen, one of the members of Team Meat, who brought Super Meat Boy, announced recently that one of his next side projects will be The Binding of Isaac.

The game is meant to be a roguelike, based off one of McMillen's favorite games. He will be working on it with Florian Himsl (Tri-Achnid, Coli) and Danny Baranowsky (Canabalt).

If you are an avid fan of Indie Games, especially ones like Super Meat Boy, then this should be interesting to see what they comes up with.

Florian just made it so neutral flys are attracted to piles of shit and if they eat too much of the shit they get fat and become bloated flys that poop blood at you... im very happy with this game so far. -Edmund McMillen

I personally can't wait for this game.

Edit: Also this has been out for a while, but Danny Baranowsky (The guy who made the SMB soundtrack) has released the first song from Binding of Isaac. Its just... so good.

Lol at the dead space 2 reference. Anyway Super Meat Boy was so good, I hope this game can match its quality.

I wouldnt exactly put this game head to head with Super Meat Boy. This isn't a Team Meat product. Although, there is a game in the works from Team Meat, that one you can compare to Meat Boy as much as you want!

I'm pretty sure this will be a solid game though.

Ya, Danny is awesome. The music in SMB was awesome, and with the one song for Binding of Isaac I can tell it's going to be awesome as well. The game should be good too.

Graphics and interface reminds me a lot of Zelda 1 on nes, style-wise. I'm curious of how the gameplay works, though.

Oh ya, forgot about this game. Guess it is almost that time, isn't it.

Steam doesn't show it in the "Coming Soon" or in the recent releases right now.
