WAS THAT THE BLIND OF 87??
Thanks!
I remembered mazes like that when I was little where you had to find the secret message or word by solving the maze.
Triangle Jonkler
joker
ok i won't be able to make art today or tomorrow
but i will keep track of the themes i will need to make for the days after
" noting into my ptsd notebook activation mode "
joker make you lose control
anyone knows the resolution of the joker card
pins
found it thanks grizz
streamer joker!!!!
" looks like someone is goin to do an 8h stream lmao "
Cocky joker: +15 mult. If no other joker gives more than 15 mult, +45 mult
imagine pairing that with nothing but xmult jokers
now we need the pointless joker
iykyk
" we need circle joker "
IS THAT THE JOKER OF '87
this feels busted
Ping
maybe do like 10/30
Yh maybe?
joker prompts of the day, pick 2 and stick with it (or dont im not your boss)

Glass Turtle
Uncommon | 5x Mult for the round after a glass card breaks
Aurora Borealis (Once every 2 rounds, Blue Seals give 2 Planet cards. One of these will be for your most played poker hand.)
mountain peak rubber tire, gotta remember that for when i get back to drawing
This just about matches what I've seen outside
@ornate ridge how do you draw so well???
pokemon sprites 
but also seeing other examples and emulating them somewhat lol
Ighy
Rad dude, well done
woahhhh this is absolutley beautiful!! awesome drawing
Marshmellow mustard, I guess im gonna try to make a voucher
Does this look good?
Not gonna lie I didnt really know how to make a marshmellow, never done it.
shading is a little but on the harder side
but i like it 🙂
this is where i'd use something like dithering
i didnt touch the outlines here but id shade it more like this just to make it softer
who sneezed on that marshmellow
XD
A-Aurora Borealis? At this ti
5 second rule
Oh thanks
i think you need a better burnt shade
that sewage green aint doing you any favors lol
also the marshmallows a bit on the long side?
how easy is it to change the appearance of cards? is there a guide of some sort?
i didnt touch the original palette or outlines, just the shading
didnt want to alter anything else
the original palette is hot garbage im sorry :(
if you change it to be better and someone complains and wants snot green
i can murder them for you
I mean, I would hope my mustard isn’t ever snot green
what is it for anyways?
REAL
me of the year at this time of the day in this part of the country contained entirely within your kitchen?
I tried to make it yellow but it ended green somehow, maybe it was when i tried to make it darker
lollipop ham??
not even sure abt that one
Like this?
its better than snot green
heres a palette you can use
Oh thanks but i dont have the time right now, maybe i can finish it tomorrow
When you do get back to it, I think you should shrink the height of the marshmallow
- for the inner lip of the mallow dont use black on that outline since you want to imply a curve shape rather than a sharp edge
+dithering is nice, but should be used sparingly to make a nicer effect
also, from what I see most of the balatro jokers use a lightsource that comes from the top left
oops
Yup, top left is the go
the ox but it actually looks somewhat like an ox
you killed this! so good, i love the reflection
the blind buttons
I can't see them
btw does anyone know what the boss blind symbols are from?
The Phoenician alphabet
thanks, what about the terms for the final boss blinds like cerulean bell?
i tried making the carving lighter but i felt it didn't pop out too much, but i guess by making it darker i also made it less smooth
I like the lighter one
They come from card suits from other countries (cups, bells, acorns, leaves)
hearts is there too 🤔, does this mean there could be (more) bosses based on the existing suits?
Hearts, bells, acorns and leaves come from the German deck, cups come from the Spanish deck
alright
- Gilded Coin
- Silver Sword
- Saffron Shield
Perchance.
havent seen this letter used before
lobotomy reference
Egg
The Weapon: 1 in 5 cards are debuffed
egg my favorite joker
the eyes are the yolk
is this just an rng boss blind
Oh yeah I forgot people don't like the wheel
The Weapon: Your most played hand is 3x less effective
The first card in each hand is debuffed?
it's already been used
it's not obvious but it's also called the manacle
oh
knowing there's only one made-up miniboss blind made me assume that he used the whole alphabet before resorting to it... and indeed he did lol
big, small, 22 letters, ||the flint||, and then the 5 big bosses
one of the most annoying blinds in the game
❌
i have come to say something unfunny
if you look at the left side of some pants you can see a orange amongus
your welcome
blue spot
i can kinda see it
if the lighting was even more thin then it would be wayy more visible
mime's eyes kinda look like lanterns if you look close enough
if you really badly look at the shading, this is what i saw
mainly the lighter spots
lolol this is so dumb
space joker without arms is basically an among us character
so many jokers just use red and blue to where you can just slightly merge colors and make amongus
like fibbonacci
i just realized that the pants in the background look like amongus
ye
"find stupid amonguses inside joker art"
waiting for the day when someone makes amongus joker
thats too tiny
get rid of throwbacks face and nose, cyan amongus
hold on
multiple of those exist
just look in modding
lemme see
lol
top somewhat left middle
also wtf did you do to the bg
why duid you enlongate some of them
also wtf did you do to the joker font
fun fact: abstract has an eye in it
lucky cat is a amongus
why lucky cat kinda look like meowth
idk, someone should texture pack that
anyone has shading tips
just feel like i can't shade without turning it into a pillowshade
Jimbo's Card Factory!
Gives $3 for each empty joker slot at end of round
(This joker included)
that and joker stencil combined would be an op build
yeah but this would take away ×1 mult from stencil
i think even with the stencil debuff it would still give like 3-4x mult
Commissioned a critter from one of my friend circles to draw a Balatro themed piece with my protopup, I think it came out nice 
Looks good!
that looks awesome
It came out nice
While Nebula isn't my fave deck, it's probably my favorite design wise
Hard to go wrong with a starry sky
true, it looks good, but making 2 vouchers weaker in change is pretty rough
I shall pass along all compliments to the artist also 

one consumable slot is such a big hit, and early telescope is alright for building up econ fast, though I'd rather it still have two slots
yeah, idk what other drawback it could have, but weakening 2 vouchers in change of having 1 alredy redeemed is just.. unfair
when ur going for flush build with spades but the goad is the boss blind
pros don't read the boss blind, that's why it's called a blind
i forgot about my dagger (it ate my blueprint)
you've been blindsided
so true
i've picked up rough gem so many times in ante 1 only to find out the boss is diamonds debuffed that now i actually check
repost, i tweaked it a bit
@ornate ridge Are you busy rn? i have a request
tell me
Bismuth and hematite gemstone cards- (like bloodstone but for color and ink)
i didnt see that, i can use it for bismuth
Nice, for ink suit i found Hematite to be fitting for it do you agree?
it does, but it also strays a bit into onyx agate territory
no just that my artstyle is kinda weird
can i see some of your other pixel art work?
heres the mouth
it isnt lol
your style might be better for non pixel art purposes tbh
trying to force this kind of texture into pixels makes it look blurry imo
it def gives me an inkbrushy/watercolory feel
looks like it'd fit in indie horror tbh
you're so right
me when gold stake win
the symbol looks like the ink demon if u look at it from the left
oh yeah it does
360?
turn ur head to the left and look at it then youll see it
360=0
gilded medallion, stygian club, golden blade, blushing bloom, silver shield
more ante 8 boss blinds
neat
not sure what they do
i also did one of those a while ago
needle is only 1x for a reason
and a lot of the times you can't even 1 shot showdowns
this was supposed to be a final boss
That is cool
cool
hey that's me 🙂
very large stabbing device
oh i thought that was PoldenGiscoDig
1 in 2 chance to create a random tag when blind is selected
me with oops all 6
heres a deck i made in a few minutes to practice creating art using the palette
Can someone send the palette?
I know there is one but I don't know which colors are used
heres the one i found and used
ohh that helps so much thanks
Danger Deck - Hands alternate between being normal and destroying all played cards.
RtB and erosion synergy
still think that'd be a good pin
I'm Japanese and not very good at English. I'm sorry if the translation was off.
I can't create pixel art myself, but I enjoy everyone's wonderful art.
"not very good at English" --> better English than some native speakers
every time
🙂
"not very good at english" -> Perfectly knowledgable at english or broken english.
This time it's the former, good english 👍
I wrote it based on the translated Japanese text. lol
thanks!!
yeah its pretty good english, no worries
“Im sorry im fucking badass and im somewhat bilingual and im trying my best at a language that is way more different than mine”
Your art is super cool!!
Yea
I using Google translate sometimes too lol
I am Thailand btw
this is insanely cool!
graffiti joker: holographic cards give +30 mult
learning english is one of the traits you get by being raised by the internet
mult^2?
the cavendishes were tired of losing so they brought out the big guns
why is it common here
eight oops all sixes meta?
i know i just want to cut a disc and fry it haha
Then it hits the 1 in 10k after one round 💀
i know i was flabbergasted when i saw it
both the bananas are common so the third would surely be common
yep
i had to double check for cavendish but they have to be common cuz they ONLY appear after the one before is destroyed
thank you! i wanted it to feel menacing and i tried so many different fog effects til i settled on swirls cuz i think localthunk would do swirls haha
i remember getting a cavendish from riff raff once on a run that was already going to win
Balatro banana war
for real?? Ive always thought it was either uncommon or rare
I did not know that wow
i thought it was weird too at first but it makes sense so they have a better chance of showing up in shops after they become available! 😄
its the real snake
for non pixelart purposes
one time i was watching my brother play balatro and cavendish broke w/o dice it was crazy
that banana wasn't having a good day
heres robotic steam!
sorry that im late for it
now on to mountain peak rubber tire
robotic steam: steel cards give x2.5 mult
i think if it ever disappears on me ill take it as a sign to not do anything else that day. too much bad luck vibes 😆
😆
the head
19 to go
That's the egg the snake comes from
I like the idea of it being
1 in MULT chance of the card being destroyed (every played hand)
omg haha that’d be wild
that makes it wayy more balanced
18 to go
@lethal ledge
thanks!
heres mountain peak rubber tire! a bit lazier than most of my jokers, but it has a special appearance with jimbo on a bike falling to his death
that joker took his prank to a whole other level
remove all but one hand, X10 mult
(it pays off for both the hands, and the money gained from the hands)
so u face off against needle all the time but u become op
sounds like a pretty good tradeoff especially with jokers like cavendish
oh wow people seem to really like my art i should try to make more
yea, and water becomes your worst nightmare
ye its good
its pretty nice
thanks lol
bruh water and that combined would be so challenging
cuz you would have to rely on the cards the game gave u
Happy easter everyone!
bunny joker
gives +25 chips for every enhanced card in your deck
burglar
cool idea really, i like that it works well with stuntman
this is actually so good
wait this is the hero that the black deck deserves
bruh i got gros michel destroyed second try
Just don't let that happen to cavendish
it didnt
Stitched Deck - All Tarots, Planets, and Spectrals are stitched together with another card of the same type. Stitched cards have both effects when used.
first one to find a seed where Cavendish breaks will happy and sad at the same time
ahh yes, hanged man + death
but ankh + hex would be nice
Delete 1 card, perfect~
ok im awake
joker prompts of the day, pick 2 and stick with it (or don't im not your boss)
||sparkles|| ||coupon|| ||royalty|| ||miner||
||gang|| ||lute|| ||pothole|| ||sidewalk||
||mutant|| ||lightbulb|| ||well|| ||slide||
||tarnished|| ||plate|| ||chicken|| ||university||
||giant|| ||fiery|| ||knuckles|| ||video||
||cat|| ||granola bar|| ||pencil|| ||mannequin||
||kaledoscope|| ||cinder block|| ||paint|| ||squirrell||
decided to draw a random stitched planet card
half k half a
yeah i thought it would be funny and/or helpful to have the stitch be vertical because it would split all of the names
you should make some of the planet half like being semi sucked in to the black hole half
i got "fiery well"
Easter Joker is so cute!
I couldn't help but create fan art of the fan art.
maybe like "when blind is skipped add an egg if you have room. 1 in 4 chance for egg to be negative"
frankenquin
gives +7 mult for every card with two of (an enchantment, a seal and/or an edition)
black hole is a spectral, not a planet
doctor who?
black hole is both
no it's not
it's a spectral that can appear in celestial packs
if you use one fool won't dupe it
Cant wait for aura/hang man
thanks for the idea
also 2 different types
Stitched Deck - All Tarots, Planets, and Spectrals are stitched together with another consumable. Stitched cards have both effects when used.
is there going to be some mod combability?
i would really prefer this deck to have soul available without having to argue about it so thats why im making the change
for instance my mod adds two tarot cards if you have both installed will they be stiched?
you see I actually prefer the cursed mix of differwnt types
just giving a bit of knoledge about what is spectral and whats ....not
personally i feel like getting spectrals in nonspectral packs without omen globe is a little op but the mod doesnt exist yet so idk
i would prefer to have it be compatible but i dont know how to mod right now so it could be slightly difficult
they are stitched
so it's balanced by stuff like hanged man existing
3x consumeable price might be balance
and tower can be annoying in the right context
ok fair
i made the "burnt well" joker (it doesnt look very good, but im not exactly sure why :/)
Magma Extraction - All cards held in hand have a 1 in 2 chance to be destroyed.
maybe burn the card itself a bit
imagine Uranus on the left and black hole on the right
looks way better now, thanks!
I cant believe someone made fan art of my fan art
now someones gonna make fan art of the fan art of the fan art
(the tags individually float above the card like the legendary jokers (also they were slightly rushed so some of them might be a little inaccurate))
Stamp Collector - Unlocks after discovering all Tags - This Joker contains 1 of every Tag, which can each be used at any time.
Stamp Collector Challenge - You start with 1 Stamp Collector. You do not have a deck.
tags and card seperated for completeness
thought some of those tags had legs
that should be a mod
Are the middle two columns misaligned..?
or is it an illusion
i think thats to see the joker icon
i think that might be too subtle
Having the columns with a bigger gap in the middle would work, the curve throws me off. Although personally I really like the joker without the additional tags
the tags are meant to be both an indicator (the tags would go away once used) and part of the ui so that an extra menu or something isnt required
Oooh gotcha, that's a cool idea. Like using up a stamp sheet
yea
It just felt a little too cluttered and the separate parts looked better individually. Could potentially make them two separate jokers, just a thought
maybe the tags are too large? also they wouldnt be printed onto the card, they would float above it, so that would probably help (in case you didnt read that part)
also the rarity would probably either be a rare or a legendary based on its utility
My OCD is very happy rn
I did read the bit about the icons floating, but there's no way really to tell how that will look atm is there?
yeah
i mean you could hypothetically look at the base legendaries but thats the closest thing im aware of right now
either that or soul
Ye but there nothing in game with icons that small that float
And I haven't seen any modded jokers with it yet I don't think, would be cool to see people get creative with it if someone works out how
the tag resizing artifacts are really bugging me i should go fix those
i think the joker looks good now
is there a booster pack template?
lol yeah it does

holeeeeeee hell, this looks amazing!
Bro that looks straight out of cup head its so good!
POV: You are a bank robber who just got a nose implant done and the clothes are budget
Oh I did MS Paint too, for a streamer challenge :P
It's totally not a forged certificate
what the heck this is insane
?
Sorry the image took a sec
yes
i made a legendary joker :D
omg.. you gotta do Blue Java bananas next.. (Chip Multiplier), i heard they taste like ice cream when you chill them.
high card 
heres another
i should probably edit the "JOKER" label to be "JOKER...?" and also remove the outline and add a continuous Rorschach style pattern all over the card to improve it
one i'd actually like to see ingame
Awesome! Better than my idea of Dynasty or Nepotism, which is just either a family of JOkers with crowns, or a Joker juggling crowns
imagine that with the "all cards are considered face cards" joker combo (I forgot the naem)
note that i aint a pixel artist i just used a square pixelate FX after drawing haha
parodelia or sm
i feel like this would be way to op for just being rare but not enough for legendary
Legendrarey
Zener Card - Retrigger all activated cards with the matching Enhancement. After a Hand is played while this Joker is face up, flip this Joker, and randomize the symbol. After this Joker's effect is triggered while this Joker is face down, flip this Joker. (blue triangle is bonus, red waves is mult, gray square is steel, yellow circle is gold)
(the amount of different enhancements and the specific ones they are arent final (also making pixel art is fun))
(also this took 1 and a half hours :p i might be putting too much effort into my fan art)
so its kinda like sock and buskin but with enhanced cards
i remember someone making a blue java one a while ago!
gotta find it somewhere it was really nice
wdym?
Red Daccas
there are!!! theres also mini bananas and a type called “praying hands”
theres orange bananas
so many banana variants so little time
cuz it retriggers cards
i mean i guess
obviously its way different cuz of how it works
yea
do you know the meme with the colored bananas where it's being compared to stoplights
"stoplights, green means go, yellow means hold on, red means stop, but with bananas green means hold on, yellow means go, (red banana) what?"
"Royal Purple Bananas"
"Striped bananas arent real then cant hurt u" ive been lied to
Mega Variety Pack - Choose 2 of 6 random cards from any booster pack.
it would be cool and fit smoother if you made the top and bottom parts separate and semi ripped, like two foils of different packs put together with the card peaking though.
DON'T stitch black hole and uranus. Worst mistake of my life 😱
Hahaha did you make that? The ick joker is hilarious
yep, just did
Incredible
when penny-wise was disturb by gorgie
yeah i knew something was strange about it, ill go add that
saw your message and i thought what a perfect moment to shine in my ick joker
I love being the source for showing off art, ill take it
Our boy is ready for tomorrow
thatt's awesome
yeah i think this turned out pretty well!
assuming this is what you meant
it creates the same effect
alr
oh but using this effect maybe have the bottom popping out a little, so it more looks like the full pack is inside the ripped half
because of the tail end of the other pack
so like this?
think of the bottom as a sleeve and the top as a card but the top is fully intact while the bottom is half of another. a card won't fit in the sleave smoothly if part of it should occupy the same space causing it to pop out a bit.
like putting a bag in a bag
but one is full
sick concept
this was an alternate concept for rorschach made for ortalab
specifically made as a 2/5 joker as a counterpart to walkie talkie 10/4 joker
thaanks
just as a heads up for yours, balatro jokers dont use that shade of black
btw is virtue supposed to be the opposite of joker?
the darkest it gets is #4f6367
i think?
kinda makes sense
ohh did you mean two full booster packs are combined and the bottom is ripped? because i interpreted it as two half booster packs that are uncleanly combined
#3e4b4d
no, how you interpited is correct
legit?
oh ok
dammit thunk
its not far off, but its there
but imaging putting a full booster pack into half an empty one irl and try to create that effect on how the bottom of the full one would fold inside the empty one
I used it in nightvision
cuz i needed something darker than the normal black
and lo and behold he already had something darker
first attempt at a Joker called Galaxy Grin. (Made with Pixlr E)
I am very much not an artist as can be seen
oh my
im not great at pixel art but i have a lot of practice with adobe photoshop.
and some in illustrator
Baseball card and Hiker are for an order but the other 10 are done for the project 👏
because balatro is based mainly on math it would be really easy to recreate the game with friends and a calculator.
Me when I death card my IRL deck
yoooo
Sorry didn't attach the pic haha
Honestly though $300 for 120 decks of cards is easy cheaper than I would have thought it'd been
thats 2.5 dollars per card
its just a thing crimson heart chose
cant believe i didnt know this fact when i was making my obsidian joker
yknow, the super black mineral, which was meant for a pitch black ink suit
😭
i still havn't update the mod
because of some steam problems
i fixed them
but still need to fix the code part
awesome
chickenscratch
Gain 🟥 [0.01x] for every alphanumeric character in the rule descriptions of the jokers to the left.
Cross The Road, gain .1X mutli every time you play the same hand type, resets if you play something different. (Your name fits the drawing better, just having fun)
the only real thing i am set on is that the joker will be called chickenscratch and it has to do with 8, 7, and 3 (because 873 looks like a chicken face)
retrigger? could be fun with new 8 ball
isnt that worse hack
I remember someone made this before
nice
What is it
inscryption card lmao
ohh
another popular card game roguelike
i've not played inscryption
thats fair
Inscryption! Oh this one’s a good one
should have 4/0 stats to represent +4 mult and +0 chips
I wonder what it'll do
and also add x and + where the normal stat background things would have been
imagine the inscryption totems but for suits
oh that'd be fun
maybe,, but those arent gonna be what this thing does lmao
maybe
i was thinking like
in first played hand of round, destroy rightmost card and gain 8 mult
sacrifices must be made
precisely
Total Misplay
stotal misplay
dawg imagine straights with this
imagine this with pareidolia
5oak or flush five
NOOOOOO
its honestly a good thing that i sent that image
because though i lost the layers
i still have the image
heres the pencil coupon
Beastly Joker - In the first played hand of round, destroy rightmost card and gain +20 chips
hmmm
i wonder if I should make ones for the other temples too
Shouldn’t the +20 be on the left, because chips are on the left?
fair point
Pixel art is smooth as always
i made it on the right cause like
normally the right would be for HP, and chips are kind of the HP of each blind?
plus it looked cooler having the whole line things that originate from the mult card on the left
are you gonna do one for each scrybe?
i just might yes
We're getting official now 😎
no way howw'd you get the font? or did you draw each individual letters?
I had to do all the letters that aren't in the logo manually
woahh, that's awesome it looks good
Thank you!
thats crazy fr
Techno Joker - When a hand is played, gains 8 mult. Resets at the end of Ante
inscryption reference ??
I love it!
I'm assuming next you're gonna do grimora's so like maybe, When hand is discarded, gains 8 mult?
Another fun idea may be a “Deathcard” joker, which either copies effects of sold jokers, or does something upon death
are you basing them off the finale?
yee

if i could wipe my memory of one game and play it again for the first time, it’d be inscription. such a great game. your jokers are great!
woah I didn't see those
theese inscryption jokers look absolutely amazing
inscription is so fun!!
where do i find the images that contain a bunch of textures? i want to create new textures for everything since that sounds cool and i have ideas on how i want to do it
is there a place where i can download the balatro font?
thanks
yw
Wait me neither holy crap this is amazing! I love my inscryption jonklers
Does anyone know if there is a HQ version of Jimbo somewhere? It shows up in some articles about Balatro and in some of the trailers, but always partially obscured or cut off:
Can someone respond to the pinned message localthunk sent? Discord mobile is broken and it says there aren't any pinned msgs
Thanks
djshdj thank you!!!!
yeahhh, inscryption is one of the only games i can confidently recommend to anyone
thanks
probably not, just bc the game is pixel art based (duh), and im pretty sure the vector design was just for the logo and advertising
doesnt stop people from recreating it though
what does it do?
great, now nebula deck is shittier
XD
this seems awful
cause it takes up a slot itself i assume
maybe +2 joker slots then
wanted to design some faces for the boss blinds
tyty
i had originally wanted to create some portraits for my texture pack but i just didnt find it feasible in the end
so i just made these for fun instead lol
phonecian lore
YO these are sick!
I love how the wheel hints at the mechanics of its fight on its design
The psychic also does it, i can't remember the mechanics of the rest but i gotta assume there are a couple more nods on there
the house is covering its face with its hand because the first hand is dealt face down when its active
uhhhh the mark has a target on head because all face cards are dealt face down when its active
water is hiding behind its river because its too scared to deal with more than one hand and i hate it
flint also only has half its arms and legs because it halves your chips and mult
a LOT of them are just designed in a way that i think looks neat
Water is no discards - needle is one hand
Very cool! Reminds me of the Skills from Disco Elysium
i DO love me some disco elysium lmao
The mouth seems to have one hand behind its back - only one hand type
yeah the mouth is missing a hand
Unfortunately the Manacle has all five fingers
(That would be a cool way to show the hand size reduction)
manacles hands are tied for the smaller hand size is the way i went about showing it
i think the thumbs are just behind the palm
The Pillar is just a pillar man
window was a fun one, i wasnt sure how to tie it into its effect but i settled on a rock creature that had been hollowed out with its resources/diamonds removed
Aaaaaah
maybe i couldve put some geode like details around the interior hmm 🤔
the ones i would def revisit would be club and needle
club i just made a big stone thing cos its just blunt like a club
and needle is like.... sharp on the bottom
Most of them have no eyes, but the Plant has nowhere a face could be
The Club is too hard to be shattered by clubs
Something metal or rubber? A suit of armour?
maybe maybe
hook was the first one i did in this set
i did them all in wiki order and then reorganised based on color cos i thought it'd look nice
The theming on Marks seems inconsistent
On House and Wheel, you've represented face down cards with a turned-down hand
At first glance, I would think the House fit better on the Mark - turned hand for face-down, over the face
for the mark i made it in the attire of something like a beggar or peon with a hostility towards the nobles, that being the face cards
The house could also be a figure with a veil over their face. You lift the veil of your hidden cards with discards, to see your next hand of cards
i definitely could've had the mark covering its face with both hands, the back of its palm with the mark on it
The ones that debuff cards seem to have a theme of being distinctly inhuman, moreso than the others - all plantlike or rocky golems
Head doesn't really fit that- he's not even covering his heart properly
head i would definitely rework
i had another initial draft for the head that i couldn't get to work
that being just a literal just stone head lying in rubble
in hindsight i would definitely give the head a hollow chest or something
lmao
also did these just to distract myself from working more on my pack
i finished the tarot, planets, suits and enhancements, now im just dreading starting on the jokers
the pillar men are not stands
theyre their own thing
all of these guys are the pillar men, the one you're talking about is esidisi if you want to look up more refs
Imagining a DE style exchange with these guys
YOU: You've drawn a terrible hand this time: no pairs, no straight potential, and the suits are *all* wrong.
THE RIVER: Wait, no! We can still make this work - don't just throw it all away!
THE HEAD: [Success - Medium] Don't listen to this fool. Remember, we're looking for Three of a Kind to activate the Half Joker - nothing less will do.
THE PSYCHIC: And *I* keep saying, that's not going to work out in the long term! Flushes, Straights, Full Houses; all the best scaling hands take five cards. And don't even get me started on the chip value you'll lose out on...
im all for more disco elysium style dialogue and writing in things
this is extremely funny knowing the way those guys actually talk
VOLITION: Why do we always come here?
ENCYCLOPEDIA: I guess we'll never know.
PAIN THRESHOLD: It's like some kind of *torture*...
PERCEPTION (SIGHT): To have to watch the show!
Oh my god these are STUNNING
:D
I'm a huge fan of Wall, Flint and Wheel
tyty!
Window is fantastic too omg
Any chance of seeing the Final boss blinds?
Verdant Leaf, Violet Vessel ect.?
i might tackle the final blinds at some point
def wanna give them the gravitas they deserve
Whatever you're cooking I'd LOVE to see it
im def thinking some big ass titan type designs for em
YESSS that'd be KILLER
and also upon doing research of the blinds i never realised that the final boss blinds were based on the german deck. so that was cool to learn
but yeah i’ll definitely look into doing the final boss blinds
Oh they are?? That's so cool!
Absolutely let me know if you get around to them! I'd love to see what you cook up
Woahhhhhh dude these are incredible, I personally love the serpent.
red deck (science reskin), thoughts?
blasphemy
Losing a lot of econ for only x3 is pretty harsh
x3 mult for 0 energy? satisfactory
-3333 hands when hand is played?
-9999
That looks like -3333 yeah
i can't really do nines with only 3x3
Ehhh what about

Nice
Hey, quick question, I've been working on an idea for a Balatro TCG ! I'm about to post it on reddit, and here if possible, and I want to get the tags right... Would it be considered Fan Art ? Or would it be more Meta/Off Topic ?
I'm really wondering 'cause it doesn't feel like fan "art", but at the same time it wouldn't fit anywhere else...
both
crazier things have been put in fan art (including a balatro boardgame) but it also feels like it fits equally well in off-topic
i think both would fit
post it everywhere
Hum well, I'd put it as fan art then, that way both reddit flair and discord channel would be the same. Though if I need to move it I'd gladly do it, thanks !
let the people know
Well then, as promised, here's my concept for a Balatro TCG ! I'd love some something like this to exist one day, though obviously not in this pretty unrealistic form.
Here's the link to a Google Doc with more detailed explanations : https://docs.google.com/document/d/16aN0cZpVgo2g0o1-Q9SAEicCKHeu9uPBkDiYJ9NoiVA/edit?usp=sharing
If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to ping me on Discord or post them under the Reddit post I made
thank you 🙂
@void edge I'd say the symbolism of The Needle is not in its sharpness, but in the impossible feat of accuracy: you must beat the blind single-handed, passing through the eye of the needle.
thats the difficult part
i considered making the needle incredibly armored except for a single part but idk
i'll have to brainstorm on it
hmmmmm
what if the needle symbol was like
an eye
both because eye of the needle
and the eye tends to be the single weakpoint on big bosses or whatever
jshdjsh fair enough
but i meant like
sorry for the bad drawing i just sketched it out
i didnt mean eye as in the eye blind i meant like
,,yeah
like a needle for an actual eye
either way i absolutely love your designs again
they are so cool and give off the mysterious vibe that everything in balatro has
ideally i would like to not give any of the bosses faces with eyes or emotion
closest to that was a mouth on the serpent
personally i'd want to portray them as these vague conceptual forces
completely fair
i did the same with my main suits, i avoided any real faces
same with the arcana
other than death really but i dont count a skull
woa h
thOSE ARE ALL SO COOL
yeahh okay thats fair that you dont want to include faces or anything to show emotion
those are some really really cool drawings though oml
the wall lmao
havent finished it yet, everything is still a wip
they look clean though
The curtain for the planet cards is an excellent touch
How'd you come up with the signs for the secret hand planets?
they have proposed symbols

Even planet X?
ye
i was able to find the planet x symbol so yes
Waow what a generous donation that is suurely not a scam~
Also all of these are really really cool~
i guess maybe i could do a general mod ping but i dont wanna ping all them at once for this
first five decks reskinned, making good progress
Alchemy symbols!
Also black hole is the bagel
Wow! Dude, ping me when you release a texture pack with those, i'd love to play with them
The sprites are just too good
The logo looks pretty neat, i do think the back of the cards should be more visually distinct, like, each should have one color to make them stand out
thanks for the feedback, ill see what i can do about it
added colorcoded indicators to the decks so that its easier to tell which one youre using
Oh, it's got the suited gemstones, because the Wizard cards all need moxen for their mana. Neat!
yeah i think a full game texture reskin would look great with this theming
mhm
Basegame has pretty solid precedence for colours: hands are blue, discards are red, money is yellow, probabilities are green, jokers are black
Im addicted to these inscryption jokers, it looks so good!
thank youuu
some of those assigned colors wouldnt make sense with the new theming, which is why i changed it
Also, I assume money is ! rather than $ because of space?
Ah
I suppose if you're retheming everything, there's no need to stick with convention
yep everything
that might actually include all of the unused textures as easter eggs lol
oh btw are the indicators clear enough?
Seems so - checks and crosses are obvious, and the no-interest symbol is very well done. The joker slot is the only one I'd say is somewhat confusing, since it doesn't specify jokers - might get confused with the Magic deck?
it should make a lot more sense in context - jokers have been replaced with testing equipment, so an extra joker slot would mean a larger test chamber
good to know that theyre good, though
Concepts for the Jokers:
Beastly Joker - If first hand of round contains a single card, destroy it and gain 20 chips
Deathly Joker - Whenever a card is destroyed, gain chips equal to 3x the card's rank
Tech Joker - Gain +8 mult whenever a hand is played. Resets at the end of round
Magickal Joker - If hand contains all suits, gain +2 mult
Magickal get +2 permanently?
All according to plan 😈
probably has something along the lines of "+4 mult if played hand contains a high card" based on the art
nah that would be too weak (jimbo gives +4 mult without conditions)
fair enough
yeah good compromise
is is more fair than contains
every hand contains a high card
hmm... joker idea
stone cards dont count towards your played hand size (so you could play them with say flush or straight, or just play like 8 of them)
wouldnt be super powerful, probably a common
and would require a VERY specific build type
maybe
oh btw in case anyones worried, the science reskin isnt a joke despite the circumstances, when the day ends and a new one starts i will definitely continue working on it until it is complete
definitely
it would be cool if somebody made a guide to modding (creating the mods, not downloading them) bc i do want to make jokers, but i could not find any information on how to actually code the jokers in with their effects
yeah that sounds very helpful
i wonder if its set up like a structure or dictionary or json
i could imagine how that works with them, even for ones like smeared or pareidolia
i downloaded some mods a while ago and they use .lua files
im pretty sure you could code them with notepad++
but the actual coding part is the thing i dont really understand
what is balatro made with
love iirc
twas coded
i mean if that can be made with love then
well yeah
you can just open any mods lua file
oh wait did you mean programming language?
but understanding it is a whole new thing
no i meant engine/framework
idk then
oh, not "made with love"
well
ohh theres a framework with love in the name thats probably why you were confused
either that or its april fools and my personality is a bit loopy rn but theres a 365/366 chance that its not april fools so your odds are good
who's on first, what's on second, I don't know's on third
isnt that like a bomb or something
if you know how to code with lua, its still not enough. you gotta figure out what specific things mean, like for example if you wanted to check for a hand type, you are gonna have to find what contains that data
its open source btw
the shaders use GLSL
it's an abbot and costello skit
oh ok
what's on second?
yes
shouldn't the yellow deck have yellow indicator?
also hands are blue so Idk why color code them as green 😭
also for green deck you get 2$ per hand remaining
its a full texture reskin so conventions dont apply
somewhat confusing, but I guess
also green deck does give 2 for those but the indicator shows what is being added and 1+1=2
cant really mod but ive had the idea of a consumable pack based around mostly gemstones focused on permament hand changes like increase hands by 1 but reduce discards by 1
oh i loveeee
major columns crown energy
That's a cool idea for consumables but I think they should be hard to get because that effect is like a joker effect without taking up a slot
Also sick art
Sapphire: +1 hand, -1 discard.
Ruby: +1 discard, -1 hand
Emerald: +1 hand size, -20 dollars
Topaz: All enhanced cards are drawn first next round, but drawn last the following round
Opal: All cards are drawn in ascending order next round
Quartz: All cards are drawn in descending order next round

yoooooo "straightjacket" joker in a padded cell
Static mushroom
"straights can be made by playing alternating evens and odds (eg. 3 8 3 10 7 or 10 A 2 5 6)"
like smeared for straights but it makes you repeat seemingly meaningless sets of numbers endlessly on repeat
here let me change the example cause you're right but it allows for pairs and that makes a difference
All steel cards trigger an extra 2 times the first hand played each round
(Steel card buff, Cacti have needles so needle counter)
mushroom mascot, this one will be a bit hard
i got "mascot merchant"
this reminds me of the unstable tesla coil from risk of rain 2
SPAM TONG
also, had an idea for a Slay The Princess reskin
instead of Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs
you have Hearts, Lungs, Livers, Nerves
and the Jokers are replaced with Voices
permanently gain +1 chips every time something is purchased (like a reverse bull ig)
Jimbo is the Voice of the Hero, the four sins are replaced with Smitten (Hearts), Cold (Lungs), Stubborn (Livers), and Paranoid (Nerves)
mammoth buissnessman
when this scores if current hand has at least 75% of required blind score x4mult
actually i think +2 chips is more balanced
Like this!
(For those of you who can't parse my admittedly limited artistic abilities, the image for each is meant to be the relevant organ fitted to the shape of its corresponding suit.)
wouldnt that make a straight house possible?
yeah
nooo i finished making the joker but my internet cut out so i cant send it
for now just take this, i'll send the joker image tomorrow
Rounding Error - A numeric card's value is either 1 less or 1 greater than it's labelled value. (ex. 33456 is a Full House)
That seems like it'd cause tons of confusion
Like, in the example you gave, it'd be just as easy to make a 23456 straight
straight house no way
iirc straights are worse and the game likes to prioritize "better" hands (which is why playing a flush containing a four of a kind will play as a four of a kind and not include the fifth card)
i personally find it intuitive but i could see how it wouldnt be for some people
23456 - > straight, but it'll be prioritized into
33555
which is a full house, and it'd ruin your build if it was straight hand build
or does it prioritize taking level into account?
*44455 and no it doesnt since the game doesnt either
???
2 -> 4?
the original hand has no 2
I made your four souls joker into an actual four souls card
or are you referring to a hand of 23456? because that wouldnt be a full house
what that'd be then
34567 straight
is straight stronger than a full house?
no
then why wouldn't it be full house?
because it is impossible to change every value by 1 and result in a full house
ohhh reading your description I thought that every value could change it's value up or down by one independently of other cards
oh i didnt even realize it could be interpreted that way
oops
easy fix though
Every numeric card value is either 1 less or 1 greater than the labelled value. (ex. 33456 is a Full House)
this is more clear right?
actually im not sure if this is better since it may or may not be too weak
regarding the art, does it work?
probably need something different about the joker?
i thought of that im not entirely sure how it could work
A guy
Just a fella
nice
Are you cool with me adding this to a booster pack im making, and if so do you want a credit bc its inspired by your art ?
sure
Hey guys, sorry to bother but I want your input. Which one do you prefer ? The version with a gradient or the one without ?
Into the bagel..
what gradient
i like both but the one without is clean
on the numbers like the high contrast cards
oh
In the numbers and border
yeah i see it now
Gotcha thx 
i like the gradient
im team gradient
i think its better without
i second that
badass
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!
this is a hilarious sketch that i will never forget.
no gradient is more clean in my opinion.
im actually no longer sure which one is better uhh ill pick both but like half vote each
tyty! and cute jade pfp btw
Need me some homestuck balatro mods
thanks :D
