Initially making a name for himself through Flash games on Newgrounds, Ed saw his breakthrough when he and programmer Tommy Refenes, collectively known as Team Meat, released a commercial sequel dubbed Super Meat Boy.

Edmund-update notes:-We are aware of a few bugs (wall bug, secret room bug, alt tab bug, etc) and are compiling an update for this weekend that should fix them.-The Mac version of the game IS saving your achievements, but not rewarding them yet. Sep 26, 2017  The story behind Super Meat Boy was a real underdog tale. Creators Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes had immense pressure to make the game a success and weren't given much help from the likes of.

Since then, most of his work has been commercial releases, and he is now best-known for his even bigger breakthrough hit The Binding of Isaac and its expansions and further editions, which has become immensely popular with streamers.

Tropes commonly employed

Super Meat Boy Edmund Mcmillen Lyrics

  • Black Comedy: A lot of Meat Boy's cutscenes, and almost all of Isaac. A lot of his older flash games, too.
  • Body Horror: Pretty much the David Cronenberg of video games.
  • The Cameo: Often times characters from his other games will make crossover appearances.
  • Canon Welding: Apparently, Time Fcuk and Isaac are highly related, and Steven may even be Isaac. This just complicates things more.
  • Creator Thumbprint: Putting fetuses or fetus imagery in his games, as seen from the Big Bad in Super Meat Boy, the title character in Spewer, a lot of the monsters and imagery in The Binding of Isaac, and pretty much the entirety of Coil.
  • Mind Screw: The amount varies depending on the game, but just try to piece together what The Binding of Isaac's plot really is. Coil and Time Fcuk are other major examples.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: Apparently since he was a kid, if his biographical comic 'Thicker Than Water' is anything to go by.
  • Surreal Horror: Some of his games, but especially his trailers, done by James Id.
  • Toilet Humour: A recurring motif ever since his first games and animations.
