Was Binding of Isaac's comic gruesomeness an intention from the start, or was it a visual theme that just developed as you made the game (for example, through the mood you were in whilst drawing the characters)? The repulsive enemies, the bosses names (namely the ones after diseases), the fact the main character's weapon is his tears, where did the ideas start? (huge fan by the way, I find it amazing that one of my favourite games ever was a game that was made to fail by its creator!)
