[winter gyro]

Storybook Joker - Uncommon
Legendary Jokers can appear in Shop and Buffon Packs

[balmy charm]

i feel like this should be a rare, that ability is powerful, also nice art

[hushed moss]

should it be rare if the chances are extremely low

we're assuming negative odds

uncommon is fine

[winter gyro]

Yeah, I took that into consideration

If it's rare, then you already need to hope for the low odds to get this joker just to have a smaller chance of getting a legendary

I think Uncommon is a good middle ground

And thank you!

[hushed moss]

imagine getting this and rolling into chicot

[winter gyro]

holds R to restart run

[nocturne cosmos]

Oh damn, that’s good

[hushed moss]

suggestion: maybe make the joker text look more like a title

like astronomer kinda

[nocturne cosmos]

Title or author

Joker by Joker

[winter gyro]

Ooo good idea, I'll add that to the list

[hot walrus]

It would be another seance

Everyone said seance ability is op during demo, then the full game comes out and everyone hates seance as a rare 😹

[forest nimbus]

Legendary Jokers are in a weird spot

They’re unlikely to show up but even when they show up they’re not necessarily good

[ivory igloo]

it;s power is entirely dependant on the chance to find a legend, which I'd guess would be rather low

honestly I prefer #1221068079170195477 message more

it really is good art though

[forest nimbus]

If the chance is too low then I think it’s too weak

[balmy charm]

I would guess the chance could be like finding any other joker

[balmy charm]

seance is different from this, seance requires you to do go with the very underused (for good reason) straight flush build, while storybook could literally fit in any joker build is much more worth it to keep for a decent amount of time to search while in the earlier antes

[balmy charm]

yea thats fair

[hot walrus]

straight flushes are more viable than spending couple thousands of $ worth on rerolls for a legendary that will be chicot and you never buy it again 😹

I was going for endless the other day, wasn't that hard to keep a straight flush open in case of seance for red seals / ecto

(I didnt find seance until I removed all of my 10s in ante 9 but case in point)

[forest nimbus]

Other Jokers have different chances

That’s what rarity means

[green lava]

Chicot my beloved

[balmy charm]

oh i didnt really know that, and im not sure why i never connected the dots there

[balmy charm]

im saying its (in my opinion) less common (not unviable) to go for a straight flush build than most other build in the game, and that storybook could be used as an early slot filler or even viable as a late game grind option (especially with reroll builds) to try to get just a little extra help (and also i like moments when people pog at something they find, and i feel like this could give the game more of these moments)

[hot walrus]

I think you're highly overestimating the rates at which legendaries would appear in shop

and the only late game legendaries that are instantly useful are perkeo and chicot

chances of hitting a specific rare early enough and also a legendary in shop without econ are so small it'll be the next seance for sure

[forest nimbus]

I think making it more similar to Invisible Joker would make it more viable

[ivory igloo]

just to check, you are aware that soul and black hole are specifically ONLY found in packs, anything that lets you get spectrals in your consumables cannot give soul or black hole. this is due to concerns regarding perkeo duplication

[hot walrus]

I am aware

[ivory igloo]

that does include seance

[hot walrus]

Don't see how that changes my point

I never said seance would generate legendary jokers

I am saying that such joker being rare would most likely feel like seance when it was rare

when people use wraith/rare skip they in 99% cases expect something like blueprint or something that is instantly powerful, not a small chance of joker being useful at some point in the run

not a lot of people liked seance/sixth sense at rare

[balmy charm]

i feel like the ability to find legendarys without rummaging through lots of packs, while only being able to get a maximum of 2 opportunities per shop is a valuable enough asset to be considered a worthwhile investment to gain from a skip/wraith, especially when there are 5 different jokers that together increase the chances of find a legendary (not a specific one) by an amount that is probably better to use up a joker slot for.

tldr: increasing the amount of opportunities to find legendary jokers is invaluable

[forest nimbus]

It’s very valuable

It might not be straightforward to value, but in theory you can compute its value

The main difficulty would be estimating the optimal decision policy to maximize winning chances, but I think you can instead use a heuristic that’s just trying to maximize chances of finding a (specific?) legendary because the optimal policy might be to ignore legendaries anyways

Well, rather than looking at the problem through those lenses, you can estimate say “how many shops until I see a Legendary”, which is kinda what I meant when I was talking about a heuristic

[sinful ivy]

it's beautiful

[sudden blaze]

All this talk about giving legendaries made me remember an old old concept I had for a Joker
"Ouija Board"
"When Blind is selected, destroy the Joker to the right if it's a [Common->Uncommon->Rare]. Once you've destroyed one of each, the next pack you open will have a Soul card"

Didn't ever follow with that because it'd be hell to balance but yeah, y'all made me remember that buried concept I had once

[mental mountain]

Oujia Board:
"When Blind is selected, this selects a random Tarot. Using a selected Tarot 9 times destroys this Joker and creates a random Legendary"
Rare
9 times for 9 letters in LEGENDARY
Sorry for poor Balatro wording lmaooo

[green lava]

[nocturne cosmos]

Hmmm, what about

Ouija Board (Rare)
Using a [Tarot] card 9 times destroys this Joker and creates a Soul card. Tarot card changes each round. (9 left)

If you happen to have multiple of a tarot, you can tick down more than once per round

[mental mountain]

That's a way better wording thank you sm

[sudden blaze]

Uuuu that's a spicy rework

Me likey

[nocturne cosmos]

Mechanically, nothing’s changed from your description

Just uhhh, cut the fluff

[dusky totem]

ah yes, deep fried jokers

[mental mountain]

Yeah I know that's why I said better wording not a better version LMAOO

[languid jolt]

i like it add some extra probabilities to a boss blind

also the idea of the blind flipping like a coin and landing on a random new effect is cool af

[slender ridge]

Anyways

Maid Joker
Rounds up compatible number values to be divisible by 5

[nocturne cosmos]

Am I tired or am I reading that correctly?

[slender ridge]

Yes you are. Any number value (aside from stuff like ranks for cards) gets rounded up to be a factor of 5

The gimmick is that the maid is “cleaning up” the numbers to be easily divisible

It doesn’t seem that powerful at first, until you realize that it works on any number value, including card abilities

Retriggers don’t count though. That’s too strong.

[nocturne cosmos]

“Retrigger X” doesn’t have a number attached

So they shouldn’t anyways

Perkeo says “a negative copy” right?

That wouldn’t count either

Thank goodness

[slender ridge]

Let me see what would count though

Hold up

[sudden blaze]

Hanging Chad says retrigger 2 times iirc

Chad chadding again

[rain salmon]

yea, you can look in the thread i linked too

[slender ridge]

Maid seems to work on:

• All joker abilities that add Mult or Chips
• All money values that Jokers have
• The number of cards affected by Tarots and Spectrals
• Probabilities (which hilariously does nothing as both values are multiplied by 5)
• Abilities that give hand size, rerolls, and etc.
• Cards that have specific requirements
• Voucher buffs
  That’s a lot, but it does also affect the bad stats as well (so a lot of the negatives are boosted as well). Very interesting card

[slender ridge]

Well at least in that case chad only affects one card, so it’ll just be three extra retriggers (still extremely powerful, but now it’s just a synergy I guess)

[sudden blaze]

It's kinda scary with Baron, Bloodstone and such, but i think it's fine

[nocturne cosmos]

Probablities

Round up

So 5 in 5 by that logic

5 in 5

[loud ivy]

1 in 2 rounds up to 5 in 5

[sudden blaze]

It affecting extra handspace and vouchers is also a lot, just the 2 vouchers is +10 handsize no?

Or one voucher and the juggler

[loud ivy]

and the 8 hand size already rounds up to 10

[empty juniper]

having the hand size vouchers, discard vouchers, and hand vouchers would give you +10 hands, +10 discards, and +10 hand size if im reading it right

[jade cargo]

X0.5 Mult for every failed wheel of fortune

[wooden remnant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jEE_zbnewc

took me way too fucking long

[slender ridge]

If each voucher gives +5 then yeah I guess so. (Might have to nerf that)

I might not have it affect vouchers, given how powerful it is

probabilties might be out too

How about "Rounds up compatible number values to be divisible by 5"?

then we can cancel out certain things that are hilariously broken, like vouchers and probabilities

[empty juniper]

It could round/clean up card rank

[slender ridge]

but then only 5s or 10s do anything, and they become the most overpowered cards in the entire game

[empty juniper]

rank up odd ranked cards into even ranked cards when scored or something. no idea how good that would be, but it probably wouldnt be insane

3 -> 4, 5 -> 6, 7 -> 8, 9 -> 10, queen -> king, ace -> 2

[slender ridge]

that could be good as a different Joker

I still like this idea because it has maximum syngery, but I'm gonna curtail it so that it isn't comically overpowered

making it only affect "compatible" numbers like blueprint is good enough in my opinion

[forest nimbus]

Unfortunately as with similar ideas I don't think there's a good way to implement it except hardcoding it for each Joker, which would make it not work with modded Jokers

[slender ridge]

dammit

hmm, I'll have to see what I can do

[forest nimbus]

Since the implementation of Jokers can be arbitrary, the actual behavior can be unpredictable. Maybe Invisible Joker requires 5 rounds to proc. But maybe the counter also advances 5 rounds at once. Or maybe it needs 2 and advances 5. Or requires 5 and advances 1. Or requires 2 and advances 1.

(my guess is that it would require 5 and advance 1)

Thank you!

[green lava]

science

[swift stratus]

Since the flames appear when the hand alone is enough to beat the blind, that's the kind of card effect that could very quickly run away. (As long as you still have playing cards left.)

positive feedback loop, getting stronger and stronger, snowballing, gettin' out of hand, goin' crazy, etc.

you play a hand that could beat a blind in one hand, and the same cards (if it's a five card hands, they're not already glass, none break/vanish/etc.) just got a 32x boost (x2 to the fifth power)

wouldn't even immediately call it overpowered since glass cards break and all, but it would definitely be really wild in practice

...would definitely GUESS it'd be crazy OP though lol

[nocturne cosmos]

Ancient, Idol

[pearl saddle]

Yep, they'd work too

although they are neither gems nor stones... nor rocks... so its a bit weird I agree

though in way you can argue the suits themselves can be the gemstones

[balmy charm]

well i had an interesting idea for this, you would have to pay money to use it after getting it from a pack

it would probably disappear or have a cooldown

[pearl saddle]

maybe it could make it so that while you do get an insta-win, you'd either net get end of round money or you wouldn't go to the shop

[nocturne cosmos]

Basically, skip Blind during a round

[pearl saddle]

yeah but you'd get one of the benefits of beating a round

just not both or it could be OP with perkeo as SpoofyGuy pointed out

[nocturne cosmos]

Yeah so not going to the shop is fair then

[pearl saddle]

oh yeah fair XD I've yet to unlock perkeo so I don't really know how it works

but yeah, in that case

"Cheery Bomb" - Consumable

Sell to instantly win the current round, gain end of round money but skip the shop

that sounds fair

[balmy charm]

I feel like instead of Sell, it could be use, and like cost 6$

and if you dont gain money from the blind, then i think it balances out so that you can visit the shop if you use it

(so it also kinda fixes the perkeo problem that i kinda already solved by not allowing it to be used on boss blinds)

so its basically 6$ to enter the shop

(which might be useful to not get reroll scammed)

theres this one from Mika's

the tear on yours looks realistic somehow

[frosty fractal]

Okay perfect

And thank you, I used the half joker's tear and lined it up haha

Looks like that mod did the same, line looks really similar

Weird thing I noticed is that on half joker the top white part of the card was actually removed, so if it were full it would be closer to the size of square joker 🤔

[vocal marsh]

Square joker isn't square confirmed

[slender ridge]

I just discovered something

So I was looking around balatro’s game files to try and see if it had the icons for rarity as texture files

And I found that inside the files is literally the color palette used to make all of the jokers

Oh wait nvm false alarm

Maybe not actually? I can’t be too sure

Let me just attach the files I found

I might be a fool right now, but these could be the palettes

They do work with photopea

I’m not exactly sure though, so there’s that

[ornate ridge]

do you have a picture with the palette?

[slender ridge]

Here’s the 256 one

[frosty fractal]

So a red, blue, and green in here somewhere are the colors for common uncommon and rare?

[slender ridge]

I think so

But the black is off, so I’m unsure if this is true

[ornate ridge]

there are a lot more bright yellows than I remember

[slender ridge]

Yeah it seems a bit off. I’m just gonna stick to my palette for now. Try to see if it is correct though.

[forest nimbus]

I vaguely recall the dark Joker color being different during the demo

I think it might’ve been 4f6367

Some colors are also listed directly in the code, although a small number of them are created as needed

[frosty fractal]

I'm sure local could just answer this, yeah?

[slender ridge]

I mean, could we ask this?

it would be great if he provided the color palette, but I don't think anyone's asked him directly yet

[sudden blaze]

I have one I've been using that's very accurate, I'll share it in about an hour when I get home

Dunno if it's exact down to every shade but I've compared the colors to the Jokers.png file and most of them are correct

[blissful wadi]

Id recommend one person dming

[slender ridge]

I could try to dm

[blissful wadi]

tbh I have no clue what Local has been up to, they could even be taking a vacation rn

wild rank enhancement

[night jungle]

interesting, id be curious to know why its blue

[sullen swift]

contrast to the wild suit enhancement, and to parallel with bonus, as wild suit does with mult

[night jungle]

i suppose. wild suit is primarily supposed to be a smudge of the suit symbol, so thats why its red/black (falls apart if you have high contrast cards enabled but looks pretty neat with low contrast)

it might be hard tho XD

[frosty fractal]

Ooh I'll drop this idea I had here earlier so that 1. I don't forget it and 2. If anyone wants to make it they can

"Threes a crowd" add +1 hand size per 3 3's in the deck. I don't think 3's have a designated joker unless I'm forgetting something? And the art could be like Todd, Steven, and Jimbo all squished to fit into the card together (or whatever 3 jokers, doesn't really matter)

[empty juniper]

i wonder if that would be better than baron for endless runs? i assume it would be

BP/BS + DNA + threes a crowd + mime with a red seal steel 3 that keeps getting copied

[frosty fractal]

Yeah I think eventually it would be because if you have, like, blueprint and brainstorm with DNA you could go +1 handsize every round 😳

I guess it's not as broken as i thought because you can have a handsize of like, 100 but at the cost of having to play with 300 3's in your deck haha

[empty juniper]

300 red seal steel 3's ending with you holding like 100 of them at once lol

[frosty fractal]

That would be so sick

[empty juniper]

though you would be trading off the ability to use baron

[frosty fractal]

I think it would be better because you can have 50 steel kings for the same cost as 100 steel 3s, but you can only do 50 kings in hand temporarily

[proud lodge]

If it's like that, you might be able to cover the baron's X1.5 just by virtue of having more cards I think.

[empty juniper]

yeah

i dont feel like doing the math to see if it would actually be better, but i assume it would be

[frosty fractal]

Yeah I would think so. It would take 30 rounds to get 100ish 3s with 3dnas

Oh but I suppose that's a 30 hand size

This idea has already gotten 10 times more discussion than i thought it would haha

[proud lodge]

I killed an Ante 12 while doing Baron + Mime before when I just pulled out my backup numbered redseal steels.

[empty juniper]

i had this happen, was able to pick up a bull to save my run, but i had to scrap my DNA :(

[frosty fractal]

Nice! I just had my first E run with 3 mimes, dna, blueprint, brainstorm, baron and a couple others. Crazy nice run

[empty juniper]

that run could have popped off but i found like no ectoplasms or any negatives lol

[proud lodge]

What I had when I destroyed that Plant

[empty juniper]

nice lol

[nocturne cosmos]

You’re gonna do it?

You’re gonna – entirely localised within one card – make a circuit and screen

[frosty fractal]

There's a 3.5 inch screen that pops right onto the top of the Raspberry Pi. So it's super thick, but the other 2 dimensions are playing card size 😁

[slender ridge]

sick man! I'd love to see it when the circuit is done

[frosty fractal]

Thanks! Yeah ill for sure post it here!

[nocturne cosmos]

Was it a cat or dog?

[slender ridge]

I made this one a cat, the one in the actual game is a dog

Mainly because this one is purple while the other one is white

I could change it to dog though

[nocturne cosmos]

Also where riddle

[slender ridge]

revealed when you buy the card, it changes for each run

[nocturne cosmos]

What are all the things that cause music to change

[slender ridge]

Entering and exiting Blinds and Booster Packs mainly

Very small benefit, but pops up a lot

[nocturne cosmos]

Average scaling per Ante would be like +24 Chips and +12 Mult?

Entering and exiting three blinds, and a couple boosters each shop

[slender ridge]

probably yeah. Seems like a lot, but it is very much outpaceable by other Jokers (for Chips, Runner/Hiker/Square; for Mult, Ride the Bus)

still pretty good though, but around the same tier as the other commons

just because its rewards are so low

[nocturne cosmos]

Actually, that would probably be the max scaling since two boosters are available each shop

[slender ridge]

yes, that is the idea. Very good early on, but gets outpaced later once you get extra hands and discards and the like.

[hushed moss]

oh dear god no

my eyes

[slender ridge]

frankenstein's monster

in the flesh

[hushed moss]

what is the joker with the longest description 🤔

[slender ridge]

alright that's the last of the Jokers

might change/update the images for the old ones and change some rarities around, but I'm happy with this for now

[hushed moss]

does this make ride the bus one of the best jokers ever

and rough gem actually viable

[slender ridge]

probably yes

[hushed moss]

id assume xmult isnt compatible

glass, idol

[nocturne cosmos]

Invis joker needs five rounds, oof

[slender ridge]

no, too juiced up, used to be but too much

[slender ridge]

yeah there's some downsides like that

[fresh shore]

What does copying mean in this context?

[slender ridge]

all of the Blinds that deal with numbers are buffed

[hushed moss]

wait

planets

[nocturne cosmos]

The tooth is the IRS now

[slender ridge]

copies the Joker's good abilities like Blueprint and Brainstorm

[hushed moss]

except for needle

[slender ridge]

the values that the planets upgrade to are rounded up to 5. High card is now even better than before

[hushed moss]

troubador is ride or die now

[nocturne cosmos]

Upgrades by divisible numbers

Normal planet +13 Chips and +2 Mult becomes +15 and +5 per upgrade

[slender ridge]

+5 Hand Size, -5 Hands, ultimate Dusk synergy

don't have to worry about Stuntman either

[nocturne cosmos]

-5 hand size, still the same chips, darn

[slender ridge]

lmao Stuntman gets screwed over

[hushed moss]

constellation?

0.5x?

[nocturne cosmos]

5 in 5

[slender ridge]

no xMult stuff

[hushed moss]

lucky cards op

[slender ridge]

not compatible because almost all x1 Mults become x5s

[slender ridge]

I'm debating whether or not probabilties are allowed, since it might be too powerful as well. Instabreaking glass cards would be funny though

[nocturne cosmos]

Trade Offer:

I give you: 5 in 5

You give me: Instant glass break

[slender ridge]

lmao

Glass Joker becomes all powerful

[nocturne cosmos]

x5 glass card for insta break seems fair

[hushed moss]

xmult not compatible

[slender ridge]

I was going to say xMult not compatible, but we could use decimal numbers

[slender ridge]

what if instead of rounding x1 to x5, we round from x1 to x1.5

and if it's x0.5 or something round to x0.55

still follows the rules, but isn't busted

alternatively we could say that xMult is never rounded because it is always divisible by 5

whichever you choose

[nocturne cosmos]

Yep

+5 Mult

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[nocturne cosmos]

Those are some… proportions

[slender ridge]

his ancestors evolved just to perfect this face through darwinist theory

[nocturne cosmos]

Never said they were bad proportions

[slender ridge]

I didn't mean that in a bad way. You should gawk more.

[nocturne cosmos]

[slender ridge]

👄

anyways good night

[slender ridge]

dammit this should say hands, not Blinds. Gonna fix that later

[nocturne cosmos]

Got some examples?

[high robin]

ceremonial dagger

[nocturne cosmos]

How many characters

[high robin]

106 or so

assuming spaces not included

[nocturne cosmos]

x1.06 Mult

Yeesh

[mellow granite]

D&DH art got updated, so i updated my "Degenerate gambler" art concept!

The ability would be: This jonkler gains +2 chips and +1 mult for every 21 chips your cards and other jonklers make
Resets at boss blind defeat(?)

(first one is old, second is new)(excuse the face, idk how to draw any body part at all)

[frosty fractal]

I need to

1. Get a micro SD card
2. Flash it with the raspberry pi OS
3. Get an animated hologram mp4
4. Upload it to the pi

So we're making good progress 🔥

[slender ridge]

Made a few edits/fixes to my Joker showcases and added two old ones I “reduxed” (basically changed the art and rules)

[blissful wadi]

Yooooooooooo

[timid yarrow]

part of a balanced comedy routine

[slender ridge]

Sick! What does it do?

[timid yarrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blissful wadi]

XD

[slender ridge]

Balanced Breakfast
1st hand drawn from deck is guaranteed to have at least 5 enhanced cards, if possible

Like lucky charms

[slender ridge]

Sick! You could look in the game files for the hologram, since the actual animation is just the joker sprite moving around

[frosty fractal]

True, but I have a fellow community member helping me make a version that looks closer to my hand-drawn ones 🔥

[slender ridge]

Nice! Hope it goes well

Anyways, gonna post my fixed showcases now

And here’s some “reduxed” old jokers:

Anyways, done with the whole showcase thing for now, which Joker is your favorite?

[frosty fractal]

Visually JBS, conceptually Graphic and Jokers illustrated

I think there should be a Shoenice joker that's essentially Vampire but he eats the seals off of cards

[slender ridge]

A seal based Joker would be interesting. I think I made one of those before but I just haven’t gotten around to making a showcase for it yet

[slender ridge]

How about from the whole collection? I’ll link it

#🎨・fan-art message

Start here and scroll down

[frosty fractal]

Oh the fake transparency joker is genius

Maybe revisit the soprano joker art, everything else seems great.

[slender ridge]

It’s godfather actually, based on this image. I could revisit it, but it’s honestly hard to do something like this in Joker/pixelated form, at least for me.

[slender ridge]

Thanks for the compliments though!

[hot walrus]

That's unironically an insane endless joker

Because score requirements grow up in million times every ante

[slender ridge]

I had to make it retrigger twice, otherwise it is worse dusk. It should be strong, but only if you’re good at math and ensure that you can win with the buffed final hand

[hot walrus]

Also I believe official name for what you are trying to say is "score"

Not chips

I believe that's what it says on Mr bones

[slender ridge]

No actually. I copied the text from Mr Bones and it says chips

[hot walrus]

Oh okay, I guess I don't look at Mr bones description too much lol

[slender ridge]

I mean that’s fair, you don’t choose it very often because it’s quite a weak joker. Which one of my Jokers is your favorite?

[hot walrus]

Actually it retriggering all jokers is not even close to dusk

Like 5 blueprints

If it does it once

[slender ridge]

That is fair. I do have another version of the showcase that only retriggers once. Should I revert it to that version?

[blissful wadi]

I look at Mr Bones a lot

its my most used joker (definetly not because there is a glitch with it, nope)

[slender ridge]

What glitch?

[hot walrus]

Art on all of them is equally good, lol

[blissful wadi]

if yk yk

[slender ridge]

How about stat-wise/conceptually? Which one would you want to play with most

[hot walrus]

Probably the wild cards one, cuz there is very little reward for playing wild cards

[blissful wadi]

joker's illustrated cause Ive wanted a card like that for the longest time

^

[slender ridge]

I should make more wildcard Jokers. Everyone seems to love Illustrated’s ability, so I should focus more on that

I already have an idea for another one based on burlesque/vaudeville, which should be fun

[hot walrus]

won't say you should overly focus on wildcards specifically, since you dont need more than 1 joker to support them

[slender ridge]

No not too much focus on wildcards. But like, so many of the other card types in the game are somewhat supported by multiple Jokers. I want to have at least 2 or 3, especially since there are so many Jokers.

[hot walrus]

yea that's fair

[forest nimbus]

I have two different Wild Card themed Jokers, though one was someone else’s idea which I just implemented

[normal dome]

Inscryption themed joker concept I made before I realized someone else already did that. I had an idea for how it work but it's probably too overcomplicated

[empty juniper]

It could give a reward based on boss blind, as you turn the boss into a card

[normal dome]

I had it as "Over 5 different times cards from your deck are destroyed, this joker stores one property from each card (in the order of rank, suit, enhancement, edition, then seal), creating a card with the stored properties when the 5th card is destroyed. "

[empty juniper]

Oh yeah that would be complicated and a bit hard to use

But pretty cool

[normal dome]

Also had this one, Scrabble themed "Each rank gains 2 associated letters, rankless cards count as any letter.
x2.5 Mult if the played hand can spell a word."

Now, it should work

the last slide is correct

Anyways, I hope everyone's having a good night

Now I may move on

[sullen swift]

if you don't mind me asking, what do you use for displaying your jokers? is it like a program or website?

[slender ridge]

I use an image editing software (photopea) and just make a template myself to use

I basically create a project with some editable text and smart objects, and whenever I want to show off a new Joker I just replace the image and change the text/colors

it's very efficient. You could do it yourself if you know photoshop or something

[sullen swift]

Thanks!

[sullen swift]

which wide joker is best

also fused is an option

[near ember]

imagine this takes up 3 joker slots

Hey guys can anyone help me with an art problem?

[normal dome]

I can try

[slender ridge]

I’m trying to make a vaudeville joker, but I’m struggling trying to draw the second leg under the first here. I’ve been using references and everything, but I can’t seem to make this look right.

[normal dome]

What are you using as a reference?

[slender ridge]

Several images like these

Vaudeville/Burlesque posters from the 1920s

[normal dome]

Mmmm

Would the leg you're trying to do be in the position of the same leg in the last image?

Well, legs

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions btw

[slender ridge]

No problem, if it helps. Yes I think I’m trying to do something like the last image, but not exactly. I do want it bent a little though.

Sorry for not responding sooner, I was in an Uber

[forest nimbus]

Maybe a video would help

[slender ridge]

I don’t think it would help as much as an image, but I’ll try

[normal dome]

Using my finger to compare the lengths when bent I think the leg would need to be pretty bent to be the right length, about this much

[slender ridge]

I’ll try that, thank you

[forest nimbus]

You can pause it to maybe find something closer

hell yeah rocks

[pearl saddle]

Yep, MakePlayingCards.com.

Although since the website didn't have the same card size ratio as Balatro's, I had to modify the game's image to make them fit perfectly within the template

More precisely I had to add 2px to the top and 2 more pixels on the bottom. For every card... But the end result is really cool!

[hushed moss]

why arent you copying bloodstone

smh my head

[pearl saddle]

Oh wait yeah, it x2^6 instead of x2^4... didn't think about that

well, that's probably why I lost Ante 9

[forest violet]

I don’t think mult rounds ever

[rain nacelle]

oh yeah true

can xmult be irrational

[forest violet]

There’s no way that exists already, but x1.42 mult would be a rational approximation

[rain nacelle]

xmult strikes me as fixed precision rather than a float

internally

but who knows

"blender technique"

Wombo Combo! - Rare
Each time a card is Retriggered, Retrigger it one more time (does not count retriggers from this joker or copies ofc)

sprite would be the hadouken input with jimbo instead of punch or something

Thank you @normal dome and @forest nimbus for helping me to figure out the design of this Joker!

[empty juniper]

"Brutal Heaven"

Rolling Thunder - Rare
+4 mult. Double this joker's mult whenever a hand is played [resets at the end of the round]

[midnight nest]

Shoelace Pearls...

[midnight nest]

This is REALLY good btw!

[slender ridge]

Thank you!

[vernal estuary]

Gotta write the name of the member of the Joker family or the teacher can't grade it. Josh Joker

[rain nacelle]

This is an actual good Joker design

Both graphic and effect

Wild cards don't really have any Jokers associated with them rn

at least not specifically the fact that they are wild cards

[near ember]

jimbo got inscrybed

[blissful wadi]

Nice

[forest nimbus]

Hmmm I kind of made this Joker already heh

Here’s the one I had made #💻・modding-dev message

Oh and lest I forget great art

[slender ridge]

thank you. I do think our Jokers are different enough in concept to be unique though, yours only copies one enhancement per Joker while mine copies all of them randomly.

[slender ridge]

thank you! I'm currently trying to create a collection of wild card themed Jokers, currently I'm trying to finish two more then I can have a set of five.

[near ember]

Thanks!

[forest nimbus]

I did it this way because at the moment this is only possible via hardcoding the specific effects. Also, if it’s per card you don’t know what effect will trigger and some effects won’t apply at the right moment (like a Steel when you play the Wild card). I thought allowing the player to see what happens beforehand would make it stronger, since the lack of control makes it weaker

[blissful wadi]

np

[forest nimbus]

It also swaps after you play a hand

[slender ridge]

that's a fair point, I do like the lack of control on the wilds for my Joker just because I think its nice for balancing, but I may consider using the "swap per hand" model instead. I'll just have to think about it later. I do like your Joker though.

[forest nimbus]

You don’t control mine either, you just know what it does in advance, and also it applies to all Wilds rather than each one individually

I’d ask to collab for a single Joker but I think you might be interested in doing your own thing 😅

[normal dome]

No problem!

[normal dome]

Of course, but the teacher makes him put his full name

[rain nacelle]

can't forget the joker that gains +mult or xmult for making cards into wild cards

[patent crag]

really good!
still cant get over the legs looking like chicken wings

its like she doesnt have a knee lol

[blissful wadi]

thats just you

[patent crag]

well its still proportionally off

i mean unless she has slightly chubby legs or something

[slender ridge]

She does have chubby legs, mainly because I wanted to emphasize them for the sake of arrangement.

[patent crag]

thumbeline~1

[slender ridge]

Thank you! Also, I have a question. Do you have any ideas for a wild card themed joker? I have two more planned out, but I need a third to complete the set.

You don’t have to say anything, but if you do, that would be much appreciated.

[patent crag]

whas the other 2

or do you not want to say

im thinking something akin to flower pot but it turns all cards into wild cards maybe

isnt very powerful though

would be funny to have a joker that gains +4 mult for every scoring wild card
like uno

or you literally draw 4 cards for every wild card played

[slender ridge]

I think the uno idea has been unfortunately done before

[slender ridge]

The other two are a gacha and a women’s young adult novel joker, with the set being themed around love (since wild cards are part of the lovers tarot)

[patent crag]

id be more concerned if the effect is the same

[slender ridge]

It is I think

[patent crag]

mmk

[slender ridge]

Any other love/lust/romance themed ideas?

[patent crag]

[ All wild cards give +2 mult, Gains +2 mult for every used hearts card ]

[forest nimbus]

I've also done that and by done I saw it on Reddit and got approval to implement it

[forest nimbus]

Not for each Wild card just if any was played

[forest nimbus]

(unless you do want to @slender ridge 🤔 )

[shadow wraith]

maybe an effect when a pair of wild cards with the same rank is played?

maybe make a wild card with lower rank (they had a child)
maybe just a + or x mult?

[forest nimbus]

I'm also looking for Wild Card Joker ideas lol ;P

[shadow wraith]

welp I'll just dump some more ideas then lol

"when played hand contains a wild card and hearts, convert all hearts in played hand into wild cards"

[forest nimbus]

I already have some Suit/Flush/Enhancement themed Jokers but there's theming around it

I do think maybe a way to generate Wild cards is a good concept

I also like relating Wild cards and Ranks

[slender ridge]

I mean I'm down, but after I finish my wilds idea

[slender ridge]

ooh that's good

like matchmaker

[slender ridge]

one of my cards already does that, so I'm just looking for use cases for wilds

[forest nimbus]

I don't have any that do myself ;P

[slender ridge]

I could try to help, maybe like a honeymoon joker idea where each pair you play you can have a chance to get a wild?

[forest nimbus]

hmmm

I'd need to think about what themes I already have and which I don't

I have generic enhancement support too

[slender ridge]

generally I like to theme Jokers around their particular arcana, like warrior/"killing" themed Jokers around Death, Wild card Jokers around the lovers tarot, Lucky cards around showbiz/magicians, etc.

[slender ridge]

what themes do you have? I could help with that

[forest nimbus]

Can I DM you

I mean I've already linked to it publicly in this server before

[slender ridge]

sure

[normal dome]

I present a joker idea that I doubt is possible to implement, let alone balance. (All 5 images are the same joker, see the description for why)

(also the back wouldn't be included for enhancement purposes it's just here for actually seeing the art properly)

[slender ridge]

so its a Joker that acts like a playing card?

[normal dome]

Basically yep

[slender ridge]

interesting, and it triggers card effects when Jokers activate instead of other cards? How does it work with Joker Slots, is a copy made in the deck and the Joker row?

[normal dome]

You find it like a playing card but it would occupy joker slots as normal

Basically yes to the first point, except that in hand effects do trigger alongside the in hand effects of normal cards

[slender ridge]

I see. Interesting idea, though it may be unfeasible to code in, I like the concept of it

[normal dome]

I feel like not only is it probably unfeasible to code it probably is in multiple ways. If someone wants to try be my guest, DM me for the assets

Same for any other joker ideas I've posted here

Do credit me though if you do so

I actually have a few similar joker ideas that would replace specific kinds of cards but haven't made art of them yet

[frosty fractal]

Hologram is close
@timid yarrow

[timid yarrow]

oh this is your project

(hi ijust got home)

[frosty fractal]

Yes 🫡

Honestly the low fps and the way my camera picks up the image, no need for there to even be a retro filter, it's built in lolol

[slender ridge]

sick!

[slender ridge]

imagine trying to shuffle this into a deck though

[frosty fractal]

Yo I followed a tutorial to increase the screen fps and I'm close to 30fps now 🔥

[frosty fractal]

Much much better results after configuring the FPS. Super weird, if I tried to make it go any faster I start to lose colors from my pallette and it just picks random colors to fill thing in with

Oh this is to great, the screens actually a bit smaller than the other cards in the project so I'm going to use my cricut to cut a piece of white vinyl to make a card border for it to match the aesthetic of the other cards and hide the screen frame 🔥

[worthy jasper]

i had to

[forest nimbus]

My first Joker idea ever actually was a Joker that’s also an Ace of Spades, back when I first played the demo. While I originally also thought the idea was infeasible, I think it’s more doable than it seems, though I haven’t tried to implement it. I did implement my alternative to that idea, which I also like for different reasons

[normal dome]

Ooo, what did you do for the alternative?

[forest nimbus]

It creates a card in hand then destroys it at the end of the round

[fresh shore]

thoughts?

[lapis wyvern]

🔔

[nocturne cosmos]

What’s the background?

[fresh shore]

julia fractal

paint .net is strange

[lapis wyvern]

fireworks!

[midnight nest]

I feel like the background is far too noisy, and the grandfather clock doesn't exactly fit with the game's style of hard/darker edges and bright insides (instead of directional light source like you did here)

I'm not sure what is the intent of the card just by looking at it, which doesn't help either (Although there's a fair few cards ingame that aren't straightforward)

I do like those little lines to represent the Joker text, though!

[empty juniper]

I recommend using a bunch of filters and distortions on the fractal layer to smooth it out a bit

[forest nimbus]

The background makes the card too hard to read. I’d suggest reworking the colors so there’s more contrast between tones and hues of foreground and background. For hues, a color wheel should help, while for tones, a layer of pure black set to Color blending mode should approximate it well.

In terms of actual content, I think the complex background with the relatively simple clock work well, but besides changing the clock color, an outline or two (dark and bright) can help make it more clear.

The text is near impossible to read but applying the aforementioned guidelines to its should help. I’d also center the clock vertically, or at least raise it a bit.

[fresh shore]

thanks!

[rain nacelle]

the joker text could stand out better

needs more contrast in general i think

I think if you used the blue from the joker palette for the fractal it would help the clock stand out and you could then use yellow for the JOKER text to set it apart from the fractal as well

you could also do the opposite and make the clock blue :9

and use cyan for the joker text

another option might be to have a subtle gray border around the clock

[forest nimbus]

Orange and blue were the contrasting colors I had in mind when I mentioned hues, but I left the color choice to them

[rain nacelle]

sorry i laser focused on replying that i didn't read anything else :9

I think that while the hue of the joker text contrasts with the fractal background, it doesn't contrast enough in value. So I think it would paradoxically be easier to see if it were bright yellow or white.

I like the design of the clock

oh my god I can go further

I'm gonna try one more compress, but it's gonna be the last.

don't think the system can handle any more

holy goddamn

I did it

be careful about playing this one, its so compressed it might actually damage your ears

his final form

anyways I'm going back to work on my joker

see ya then

[frosty fractal]

Incredible

[slender ridge]

I also made a version that slowly reduces its quality over time, but its too big to be shared here

I might post it on the reddit if I'm feeling funny, idk
