syringe :3

permanent needle effect (reduces to 1 hand each blind, reduces blind requirement by 50%)

[golden pewter]

I'm confused, is this specifically for a boss blinds jokers mod or something?

[cunning hawk]

well, no

its just a regular mod that im doing ( #1297562259182190646 ) and im doing like, a second pack

this is just like a concept/thing im doing

[tired blade]

So basically 2x mult

[livid hazel]

finally i can have green needle AND brainstorm

[cunning hawk]

kinda yeah

[tired blade]

Not kinda

Its effectively the same

[cunning hawk]

fair

[tired blade]

:p

[cunning hawk]

,,,sdfkjhkdjh

yeaahh

[tired blade]

Interesting idea but i wouldnt sac econ and survivability for 2x mult

[cunning hawk]

i can tweak the numbers,, but fair point!

[tired blade]

:3

[cunning hawk]

mhm--

[golden pewter]

just felt weird that you're making a joker (supposed to be a positive effect) with the same stuff as a boss blind (supposed to be a negative effect)

[cunning hawk]

skdfjhskdfjh

,,,yeahh okay understandable

[golden pewter]

though a needle-inspired joker with "can only play 1 hand, [some other benefit]" sounds pretty cool

[cunning hawk]

the concept is really strong downside for a really good upside but

sdjhsjdh y e a h

any ideas for how i can like, make it better?

still practically in its concepting stage anyways

[cloud creek]

maybe like

Xmult on your first hand specifically

so it helps if you're trying to beat blinds in a single hand but you GOTTA land that first single hand otherwise you don't keep the bonus for the rest of the blind

[cunning hawk]

,,,eh
it,, feels like it loses some of the theming but, fair!

[golden pewter]

it's hard to balance losing hands and econ like that, you might have to go for a 75%-90% reduction (?) if you want to keep the effect

[cunning hawk]

,,,oooh

fair

[golden pewter]

tilted's idea is probably easier to balance and work with, but loses some of the needle boss blind reference

I think I like it more

[cunning hawk]

i could do on "reduces blind requirement by 75% and pays out twice as much" but that just feels,, tacky, yeah,,

[cunning hawk]

fair!!

ill consider changing it

thanks for the feedback!

[cloud creek]

Ok LAST TIME I post this card because I kept fiddle-fartin' with it to make sure it was just perfect, the main changes this time are making her head a lil taller/less round, and changing the chest strap to make more sense

this is it this is done I NO LONGER touch this card

next up we finish Venus

[small plover]

Awooga!

[cunning hawk]

wildfire!

+3 mult for each consecutive hand containing a wild card

[mint zealot]

What about +.3x mult for each hand that passes the ante score (gets the flames)

[cunning hawk]

oh I like that actually

oooh

[mint zealot]

A joker that buffs the already good hands?

That would be nice

[cunning hawk]

hmm

its like

easy scaling i suppose

or like, scaling upon scaling

[mint zealot]

It also discourages green/supernova joker stacking

[cloud creek]

I like a "wildfire" interacting with wild cards

[cunning hawk]

the original wildfire concept came from like

"once it starts you can't really stop it"

so they're both good thematically,,,

[empty juniper]

I think it should interact with wild cards

[south tangle]

<@&1133519078540185692> sorry for the ping, just got these and thought someone should know (no, i have never played whatever shovelware mobile game they're referring to)

[cloud creek]

Consecutive plays is too hard to set up without already having a lotta wild cards

[cunning hawk]

mhm

[verbal abyss]

[south tangle]

wtf how did i get in fan art

this is not the channel i meant to be in mb

[cunning hawk]

pffft

fair enough

[south tangle]

gun is deserved, i accept my exile

[empty juniper]

Wildfire could make it so wild cards turn adjacent cards wild after end of hand

At the same step glass breaks

[cunning hawk]

oooh

[mint zealot]

_wild cards have a ¼ chance to lose wild card, wild cards give x1.2 mult, wild cards have a ¼ chance to spread wild card to another card in hand _

Basically less potent glass

[cunning hawk]

feels like a lot of text,,,

[empty juniper]

Feels a bit too bulky yeah

[mint zealot]

I could thin it down

[empty juniper]

I think wild cards giving 1.2x mult would be fine as is, doesn't need to have a chance to lose wild

But then the spreading would be one card doing too much

[mint zealot]

_wild cards give x1.2 mult, wild cards have a 1/8 chance to spread _

Or alternative:

[cunning hawk]

"Wild cards have a 1 in 4 chance to convert adjacent cards into itself"

[mint zealot]

Wild cards have a 1/6 chance to destroy another card in hand and gain 1.4x mult

[cunning hawk]

maybe?

[mint zealot]

Either spreading or destruction

[coarse hare]

conversion AND xMult seems a lil too strong

[mint zealot]

Unless you want like 3 oa6 then it's fine

That procs less than wheel (blind)

[coarse hare]

you have to take into account the amount of hands you play compared to wheel though

and how this scales exponentially with itself

[cunning hawk]

that is kind of part of the point
buut fair!

[coarse hare]

1/8 by itself isnt a lot but what happens when you get 2, 4, 8, 16

nothing in balatro is

imo

that strong

[mint zealot]

... you can only play 5 in a hand

[coarse hare]

wild cards

[mint zealot]

4/8 is still only ½

[coarse hare]

I phrased that poorly I suppose

what I meant was

the amount of wildcards scales incredibly fast with how many you have

since it converts others into ITSELF

then that makes it scale so much faster

[mint zealot]

It can proc once per hand

[coarse hare]

yeah and you can just play like

2/3 per hand

[mint zealot]

The most value you get is potentially 2

[coarse hare]

think of it like this

[mint zealot]

Which is 1/64

[coarse hare]

a weaker glass that could convert other cards into weaker glass

[mint zealot]

But very rarely

[coarse hare]

idk man 1/8 is not as rare as you think

especially once you get it going

[cunning hawk]

maybe we can just skip the xmult and have it turn adjacent cards into itself every now and again

[coarse hare]

yeah thats what I was thinking

keep the any suits thing

and have keep the "splatter" effect

[mint zealot]

Then what's the point

[coarse hare]

onto other cards

Wild cards?

[cunning hawk]

its duplicating cards

[coarse hare]

not everything has to be around scoring

[cunning hawk]

basically free death every so often

[mint zealot]

Smeared joker already converts your entire deck into 1-2 suit wilds

[coarse hare]

we have glass for x mult bonus for chips and empress for mult already anyway

having wild intermingle with one of those feels jank

[mint zealot]

Oh you mean copy the entire card?

[cunning hawk]

yea

[mint zealot]

I was talking about just spreading the wild around

[cunning hawk]

convert not just set to wild

[coarse hare]

yeah a 1/8 to death itself onto another card is fine

[cunning hawk]

ahhh fair

[coarse hare]

its not as strong as xmult

but can snowball into a flushfive build

just not as fast

honestly maybe make it 1/10

[cunning hawk]

and its like

[coarse hare]

but thats less of my specialty

[mint zealot]

... I was talking about it copying wild and not the whole card

[cunning hawk]

thematic and fun

[coarse hare]

yeah dont worry I saw the misconception

[mint zealot]

Making easier flushes and such

(Flushes need a buff so help me god)

[cunning hawk]

excuse me

flushes need a buff

sjdhkshdsjj

[cloud creek]

Lmaooo

Flushes are fine they have so many synergies

[mint zealot]

And yet Jupiter does less than saturn

[cloud creek]

If you want stronger flushes then encourage straight flushes, flush houses, and maybe flush fives

[cloud creek]

Yeah Jupiter scales slower because it's not as risky

[coarse hare]

new joker called
Pack Tactics

each card in played hand with same rank AND suit gives 1.3x Mult to each other a-la baseball card

but can trigger on itself

[cunning hawk]

i was thinking of doing like

"fractal - clubs cards give +0.1xmult for each clubs played"

[cloud creek]

Sounds like Idol but not strangled by RNG

[coarse hare]

well I didn't explain it very well

but when a card triggers, it gives 1.3x Mult for each other card with the same rank and suit in the played hand

so when playing a flush five of lets say

king of spades

each king of spades gives 2.5x mult

[mint zealot]

Is there like a base joker template

[cunning hawk]

thats

pretty strong

[cloud creek]

Yeah one sec

[coarse hare]

yeah but you get what I was going for!

[cunning hawk]

mhm!

cards give xmult for each of the same card played

yeahhh

[coarse hare]

flushfive gaming

if you really think about

2.5x per card trigger in a flushfive isnt really that strong

consistent flushfives require a lot of investment

[cloud creek]

At that point just make it X1 Mult for every identical card scored in a hand

[coarse hare]

I feel like thats where it gets too strong

imo x1 per proc is usually saved for legendary jokers

[cloud creek]

Not scaling

[coarse hare]

I still think since its an on score thing and works with retriggers

it might be a tad much

but I guess I'm bad at balancing

[solid depot]

Hi guys I just finished my fan art what do you think

[sleek prairie]

she's pretty hot not going to lie

9.2/10

[cloud creek]

Ay ay ay, leave the ass-posting to me, that's my job, guey!

[solid depot]

Bruh what

W

[cloud creek]

These are 2X, left one is HD if you wanna do detailed art, right one is classic and you can shrink it down to half size to do the art, don't forget to put a 2 pixel white border in the card if you do full-art

[mint zealot]

Unknown Joker (rare)
Copies a random unowned joker and behaves as if it's conditions were met twice every hand (currently Yorick)
(EX. Canio would be x3 mult, yorick would behave as if 46 discarded cards, if pair and "jolly joker" would give +16 mult if hand contains a pair)

Maybe a slight overlay of the card it copies over it

[fierce turret]

inb4 it copys idol and gives you 6 mult per card

[cunning hawk]

feels slightly off, buuut!

gunslinger!

idea is that it acts like mr bones:
dead man's hand is an instant win but self destructs after

[nocturne cosmos]

What hand?

[cunning hawk]

oh uh sjdhshd

dead man's hand was a hand that killed a folk hero type person/cowboy

it was said to be two black aces and eights

[remote agate]

huh

extremely specific

delicis

i think it doesn't need to self destruct

[cunning hawk]

hmm

fair

[remote agate]

then again

[nimble viper]

Well no he gets arrested

[remote agate]

op af

[nimble viper]

You pay his bail of increasing amounts of money each time he returns

[remote agate]

i ate hot food and burnt my hand 🥺

[cunning hawk]

aww ouch

[remote agate]

my mouth is fine though

it's used to warm stuff

broth 🤤

[cunning hawk]

(okay technically not instant win more like 1.4 million chips but like)

hmm

he doesnt Neeed self destruct but like the theminggg :(

sjdhshd

[bitter mantle]

then you build your deck to be aces and 8s and autowin the whole game

and beat naninf bosses

[cloud creek]

it was a poker draw that was so lucky you'd be seen as a cheater and killed for playing it

[remote agate]

truw

but

then it's just Mr. Bones: Hard Mode

[cunning hawk]

fair, fair

only thing i can think of is it destroying the hand instead

but unsure

[coarse hare]

deckthinning into an insta win is weird

its also just

not very flexible

like take the other jokers that ask for specific cards

things like

idol

AJ

I guess rebate counts?

you build around THEM

this is a joker that builds around you

and I find that, much like bloodstone it incentivizes tunnel visioning in hopes of a specific circumstance

its a very unfun playstyle

[cloud creek]

I would actually argue that Ancient Joker explicitly asks for non specific cards

you want a diverse deck not a constrained one

[coarse hare]

true

but my point still stands

things like photochad

hack

sock and buskin

trib

basically my point is, trying to encourage a segregated playstyle like how youre doing is usually bad design

[cloud creek]

I mean the origianl idea was just that playing a dead man's hand would instakill the blind and then destroy the joker

what you could probably do is make it so the joker picks a very specific random hand, and sets that as the kill trigger

then, if you build your entire deck around that hand you may accidentally fire it off when you don't mean to

you wouldn't wanna constrain your deck around it, not completely

[coarse hare]

yeah, my main conplaint was that the joker was incredibly rigid, this fixes that a lot since if it was always black aces and 8s people would just build a good portion of their deck towards that direction on the OFFCHANCE they get that specific joker

this fixes that issue

and is a downside worthy of something that instawins a blind

[cloud creek]

it would have to pick the hand randomly upon spawning the joker though so people don't just check the collection to see the hand

[coarse hare]

yeah

or it chooses the hand upon buying it

and adding it to your joker slots

[sharp monolith]

im gonna make a joker called “mandelbrot”

it retriggers all cards if hand contains a straight

[coarse hare]

I'm gonna make a joker called brainrot

that scales everytime you play a flush

[nocturne cosmos]

[cunning hawk]

does it need to tho

[sharp monolith]

I kinda wanna redesign the zodiac cards but idk what to make them

also that's meant to say gemini at the bottom

oops

look at the ones in ortalab

[sharp monolith]

guess what joker i'm making

[coarse hare]

fidget spinner

[sharp monolith]

does that look like a fidget spinner to you

[sacred burrow]

dreamcatcher?

[sharp monolith]

ding ding ding

i'm making a dream catcher joker

[sacred burrow]

what it do

[sharp monolith]

i don't know yet

haven't decided

[sacred burrow]

well the art looks good in any case

i should dabble in pixel art to make fisherman joker real

[sharp monolith]

looking good

[balmy charm]

dont forget about the 2 pixel border border that there is on non-white jokers (not including object jokers)

[sharp monolith]

oh yeah

[wintry thunder]

thats a weird looking dreamcatcher

[sharp monolith]

it’s not finished

[sharp monolith]

good?

[sharp monolith]

is the border inside or outside?

[balmy charm]

inside, you can use the sin jokers to see how its supposed to look like

[sharp monolith]

like gluttonous?

and it's done!

[main token]

looks great!

what does this one do?

[sharp monolith]

idk

i'm thinking of making it something to do with spectra cards

[main token]

it's only fitting

haha

[balmy charm]

thats very nice

[sharp monolith]

thanks!

[main token]

only thing I would do is tone down the cyan in the background

just a bit though

[sharp monolith]

like this?

[coarse hare]

I bet that shit catches dreams

[sharp monolith]

sure does!

[main token]

yesssss

this clashes wayyy less imo

looks even more amazing now

you plan to use this for a mod? or just spriting for fun?

[sharp monolith]

i'm gonna use this as a mod

Static Joker

[main token]

OHHHH

[sharp monolith]

bigger

[main token]

looks nice

have you thought about the use for it?

[sharp monolith]

it retriggers every tarot, planet and zodiac (new in my mod) card effects

[main token]

oooohhhh

lovely

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[main token]

have you got tips for making art?

[sharp monolith]

hmm...

try and make the background of your joker (if you don't want to use the white) like Gros Michel, having opposite gradients of the background and the pattern.

notice how the pattern's color is the same as the background at the very top?

and the background is the same color as the pattern at the very bottom?

[main token]

oh it is

how do you make gradients tho

just very subtle hue editing?

[coarse hare]

its built in, in a lot of programs

[sharp monolith]

I use paint.net, there's a tool for that

[main token]

OHHH

[coarse hare]

a lot of them have dedicated tools for it

[hidden tiger]

kid named aseprite

[main token]

paint net is good

i might use it

i have it pre-installed

im going to try to make a mod sometime

[sharp monolith]

ok

[coarse hare]

spriting is only half the battle

[main token]

❓❓❓❓❓

[wintry thunder]

you gotta code in lua

[main token]

oh yeah

[coarse hare]

https://tenor.com/view/does-he-know-gif-17552966235424643644

[main token]

i thought it was related to spriting

[main token]

I don't know indeed 🙁

[wintry thunder]

lua is a bullshit language to code in, though i can only speak in tboi modding experience

[main token]

it's alright ill figure it out

[sinful ivy]

Lua isn’t that bad

[mystic tinsel]

are you trying to say aseprite doesn't have a gradient tool??? because like if so then try pressing shift+g and see what happens

[shell basalt]

ooh imma have to try that

[vapid pelican]

Not sure if it counts as fanart but it's the greatest waste of paper and card sleeves I've made so far

[main token]

come onnn that's amazing!!

what do you mean waste of paper and sleeves

that's sick

[vapid pelican]

I still need more sleeves

[main token]

oh

[vapid pelican]

They come in packs of 100 so I need more packs for 150 jokers

[main token]

ohh

[vapid pelican]

Still really sick though

[coarse hare]

playing balatro irl

just lost to crimson heart disabling my half joker

(I ate the other half)

[main token]

how did you make the cards?

did they already come in the size or

because i imagine they need to be a specific size

to fit the sleeves properly

[unreal lynx]

progress pic

[main token]

which next

also - love the contrasts

how do you pick them?

[unreal lynx]

Tiger Eye: when Mult cards score +10 mult
Crystal Geode: when stone cards score +5 mult
Gold Nugget: when gold card score gain 1$, give acumulated gold on round end, reset on ante end
Pirate Glass: when glass card scores gain X0.5, reset on activation after glass card breaks

[unreal lynx]

like the backgrounds?

for Pirate glass i picked water-y colors, cause its sea glass from the sea
for Gold i picked green cause money
for goede i picked purple cause i associate geodes with purple (thanks MIinecraft)
and for tiger eye i took the Mult Card colors (Balatro red and balatro black) and sorta mixed them tohether and slightly desaturated them

[unreal lynx]

i would like to make the one for metal, cause i went out of order with Tiger Eye, cause i realised Hametite looks nothing like what i expected, so i skipped it

if you have an idea for what could be on metal, that would be nice

[main token]

hmm

pyrite?

nah pyrite would be gold

you could do like

carborundum

[unreal lynx]

too similar to Bismuth for wild card

[main token]

fuck

[unreal lynx]

and also, doesetn look related to metal like, at all

it maybe is, but it needs the aperace

[main token]

galena?

doesnt get more metalic than this

loaddd

there

[unreal lynx]

i love the hexagonal formation

[main token]

so r u taking it?

[unreal lynx]

im thinking how would the name work

it needs to be a 2 word, that incloudes the name of the stone

[small plover]

What's the wild card one look like? And do lol

[unreal lynx]

[no art yet]
Sandstone = 1/2 for X2, 1/10 for +10$, on lucky score

just realised its just a possibly better old bloodstone

i do miss the old bloodstone

make it a 1/3 and its baller

[vapid pelican]

I found a drive with all of the balatro jokers and cards, put them on a word doc, sized them all to fit Magic the Gathering cards (They're slightly thinner, (2.5 Inches wide, 3.5 inches tall for MTG Cards, I just made the balatro cards 2.5 inches wide and let the program figure it out), then printed them off, cut them out, and used the MTG cards to make it feel like card paper, and card sleeves so that they dont fall apart

[main token]

jesus christ

[vapid pelican]

it only took a few hours

cutting out with a paper guillotine helps

[unreal lynx]

old

new

more fits the vanilla ones

[unreal lynx]

and yea, if im to use this one, i need a good 2 word name based on this

[main token]

leadstone

[unreal lynx]

one of the most uninteresting looking rocks i seen

[main token]

dude

galena is literally THE lead stone

its where most lead comes from

[main token]

just draw this

[unreal lynx]

i mean, Magnetite does a similar thing, while also being the cool magic energy rock

scrap that

RAW PLATINUM

super shiny, everyone knows it, super cool

and they can form these cool shapes

[small plover]

Good idea

[unreal lynx]

every desighn has a lil design secret

[unreal lynx]

tiger eye lower left rock looks like an eye
geode inside is just a hue-shift rough gem
main gold nugget is based o the minecraft nuget
the light on glass is in the shape of the swizzle in the background

@quiet mirage

[orchid skiff]

is this aventurine

[coarse hare]

it is

I usually only post once the entire suit is done but furret really likes aven for some reason

[orchid skiff]

fair enough

[coarse hare]

a very timely card to do since aven is also rerunning rn

[main token]

this looks so good but the t and a being super close together doesn't work well

imo

love the background though

[sharp monolith]

it's a big improvement from the old version imo

the colors are more calm and not as crazy as the old one

i have had someone say the old one is "poorly airbrushed"

this isn't ibis paint!

[coarse hare]

idk what an airbrush is but the new one is definitely more thematic

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[main token]

for sure

that background is super nice too

think i prefer that one

yeah the green thing isnt nice though

good measure

[sharp monolith]

yeah

the joker in the bottom left demonstrating it's effect is better imo

[coarse hare]

I just like solid colors

[sharp monolith]

yeah

each zodiac has a 25% chance to backfire like the grimoire spells in cookie clicker

[coarse hare]

the old one had too strong of a gradient coupled with the trippy backsplash

[sharp monolith]

Taurus: Effect: Reroll selected joker into a random joker one rarity higher than the selected joker's rarity. Backfire: Lose a random joker.

(yes, the silly cookie game made by a french person inspired the zodiac effects)

[orchid skiff]

can this make legendaries

[sharp monolith]

yes, but if used on a rare joker it has a 50% chance to backfire

[coarse hare]

should be like 80% chance to fail

the gap from rare to legend

is

quite big

[sharp monolith]

yeah, I might make it 80

or 75

[coarse hare]

yeah make it space joker odds

getting a legendary from a rare is incredibly poweful

the normal effect itself is already pretty powerful

but legendaries are gated behind soul for a reason

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[orchid skiff]

No colors tho : (

[main token]

what's the text on the top?

23.?9-22.10?

[sharp monolith]

it's the dates of the zodiacs, in roman numerals

[main token]

ohhhh

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[main token]

nice idea

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[main token]

this is sick btw

[sharp monolith]

fixed!

[main token]

SICK

looks amazing

are you planning to make each zodiac a different hue of blue or purple?

or is this and the taurus blue (or purple) the same

[sharp monolith]

i'm making them all the same

so the other zodiacs will use the same palette

[main token]

ah

awee i think they could use like

a rainbow palette

they're your cards though, of course haha

[sharp monolith]

ortalab already uses a rainbow palette for their zodiacs

i mean it could do, they did show different options

also the symbols on the bottom left are meant to represent their effect

[main token]

ah okay

[sharp monolith]

libra can make a negative brainstorm for 3 rounds, the joker and the left arrow represent that

virgo

[tulip sail]

Blinged out 😎 I wish my phone case had more real-estate lol

[small plover]

That that that is so... Peak

How much?

[main token]

damnn that soul looks nice

how'd you make them

[tulip sail]

printer and a cutting machine :3 borrowed my moms LOL

[mellow granite]

Vagabond
Money Tree voucher

still looks very nice

[tulip sail]

Hey im going for style points lolol I had some normal ones on there before but I wanted to upgrade

[main token]

oh are those just paper?

thought they were cardboarded or whatever

[tulip sail]

No they're stickers with a holographic laminate

[main token]

still nice tho

[main token]

ah

[tulip sail]

glossy vinyl, that is

[sharp monolith]

gemini!

[mellow granite]

I assume it's the same as Libra but with Blueprint instead of Green Needle?

[sharp monolith]

yeah!

how did you guess that

maybe because the eyes at the bottom are similar to blueprints?

[mellow granite]

Yeah, it was kind of obvious

[mellow granite]

The Tribe for re;shuffled 2 i guess

[stark pond]

yk what would be cool?

if you based the way they're standing on A Tribe Called Quest

bc tribe? get it?

[cloud creek]

Feel like one of them needs a business card or something

[stark pond]

bc he left his wallet in el segundo?

[forest aurora]

From another server.

[stark pond]

nice cocks bro

[proud lodge]

with that skin, playing 4oak kings of all suits should give a secret hand name "chicken attack"

[blissful wadi]

(Should probably move to off topic if we extend it)

[cloud creek]

as a chicken owner this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen

[mellow granite]

do chickens made of tofu count?

[remote agate]

🥺

[remote agate]

omfg they're so cute

well designed too >///<

Guys aint no way Jimbo is forklift certified.... you know what that means. Forklift jonker.

FORKLIFT JIMBO

[simple iris]

Jimbo needs to pay his rent

[leaden atlas]

He might be a fool but at least he knows how to operate a forklift

[winged sinew]

what the fuck balatro lore

[rapid oasis]

what is the pixel ratio in a joker in balatro? i wanna make some fanart but dont know

[leaden atlas]

If it helps there's some templates which I used here! Though they're missing the grey border outside the card ;A;
#1210358731066576957 message

I'd suggest using the smaller one (69x93) as that's the pixel art scale and using the 2x can cause some issues with mixels (pixels that aren't proper pixels)

[rapid oasis]

thanks!

if you wanna do 2X stuff and not get shafted by mixels you can use this instead

[rapid oasis]

from a suggestion i did a few weeks ago https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1304815981637537793

[sharp monolith]

cavdish

[cloud creek]

Satellite Dish

A fusion between Satellite and Cavendish

Gives, X0.25 mult per planet card used this run maybe

[coarse hare]

only appears once you sell satellite

[cloud creek]

Iirc there's an actual fusion mod

You just select the jokers you wanna fuse if they have a valid combo and then pay like 10 bucks

[north thorn]

balatrostuck has peaked

i am making an equally fluid animated background next

[north thorn]

sitska moment

[sharp monolith]

wrong channel (unless you want it in here)

[north thorn]

i posted here because i am proud of her

sitska moment

[sharp monolith]

oh ok

how is she sitting on air

[north thorn]

she's sitting on the card back

it's bent

[sharp monolith]

oh

is this gonna be like a deck or something?

[north thorn]

nope

this is a joker which taunts you and backseat games you

and also gives you challenges with cool rewards

the final one being a gamebreaking rare joker themed after her as well

[sharp monolith]

ok

[north thorn]

but yeah the reason im proud is because i think i did the referenced art justice

this was the reference

[sharp monolith]

SweEt Jim And Hella Bo

[simple iris]

ngl, feels like ur making these when high lmao

i love it

[north thorn]

oh no i am simply referencing homestuck here

specifically sweet bro and hella jeff

[shell basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/i-told-you-about-the-stairs-i-warned-you-about-the-stairs-stairs-i-told-you-gif-21854458

[empty juniper]

I know nothing about Homestuck but Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is silly

[sharp monolith]

same

[sharp monolith]

Did I cook?

[cloud creek]

is it.... moldy?

moss?

[sharp monolith]

it's called Blighted, it's a negative enhancement

when it is played, it multiplies your mult by 0.8X

and it also has a 1 in 4 chance to make any other cards in the hand it is scored into blighted

[woeful nimbus]

SWEET BRO AND HELLA JEFF IS FROM HOMESTUCK?????

I need a moment

[sharp monolith]

• Thunderstruck: This card and adjacent cards each gain 1.25x mult

bigger

[patent crag]

the enhancements go on top of the grey outline btw

[cloud creek]

I think the art doesn't fit Balatro's style

[sharp monolith]

hmm... I might change it

[cloud creek]

Lucky cards are about as "detailed" as the enhancements get

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[tired blade]

Simply dont play them

[tired swan]

its just a vertical and yellow version of milt

[sharp monolith]

yeah, I like it

is this better?

[livid hazel]

the dark yellow just isnt sitting with me

[sharp monolith]

ok

[tired swan]

me too

[sharp monolith]

yeah

[cunning hawk]

lighthouse

[remote agate]

lightning tends to not be one jagged line

break it apart

[mint zealot]

if a club or spade is discarded, it turns into a diamond

[remote agate]

there are fun google images with methods on how to draw lightning

in pixel

[cunning hawk]

oooh neat concept

the one i made this for was "enhanced cards cannot be debuffed"

[mint zealot]

Or (specifically) the water is negated

[sacred burrow]

really cool looking joker here

Balatrovember #8: The Arm

[vocal marsh]

why is he doing a jojo(?) pose

[sacred burrow]

buff fellas idk

when i was brainstorming the arm i thought about a guy with huge muscles and thus jojo pose

[vocal marsh]

real

[cloud creek]

It works

[tired blade]

Lovely

[golden pewter]

jojo pose spotted

[sacred burrow]

(i have never watched a single episode)

[north thorn]

yep

[cunning hawk]

lost city

[snow cosmos]

great job, although I think the cloud formation top right should be more linear

[cunning hawk]

oooh fair

[snow cosmos]

the vines are a nice touch too 👌

[cunning hawk]

changed up the clouds and removed that one vine that was bugging me

yippee

[solar cedar]

actualy you removed 2 vines 🤓

[cunning hawk]

well

i guess i removed those two vines that were bugging me

[river condor]

no they're actually connected they're the same vine

[cunning hawk]

no actually i added two antivines which collapsed upon collision with the two vines

[cloud creek]

gonna make a joker based on this

[cloud creek]

Sock and Buskin already exists I'm sorry to say

[main token]

nope its nothing like this

[pulsar vigil]

Close enough, welcome back sock and buskin

[main token]

okay bruh

[snow cosmos]

sick album

[pulsar vigil]

[snow cosmos]

whatever happened to death grips

[nocturne cosmos]

[pulsar vigil]

Might make a joker based on this

[cloud creek]

Lusty Joker already exists I'm sorry to say

[pulsar vigil]

[cloud creek]

hehe

[pulsar vigil]

Pikmin joker

[cloud creek]

I'm makin' a move

[pulsar vigil]

👀

Pikmin broadway cards

[cloud creek]

pikmin broadway?

[pulsar vigil]

Yeah

J, Q, K, A are broadway cards

[cloud creek]

That really wasn't the clarification I was looking for tbh

[pulsar vigil]

Pikmin broadway?

What even is broadway

[main token]

need to do something related to 12, 25 and 8

hm

if cards in hand sum up to 12 or 25 +8 mult or something

[main token]

got it

+0.25x every 4 queens or 8s discarded

[cloud creek]

please explain the theme

[main token]

wait so how did you size them properly? I'm thinking of doing something like this but im not sure (and did you print the deck back covers)

[main token]

the joker idea is an album cover

one of the songs in the album (punk weight) has both 12, 8 and 25

so 25 is the mult, 12 is the queen and 8 is just

8

[cloud creek]

well, 12 can't be queen, the face cards don't stand in as numbers

like they score for +10 chips, at best they'd be 10s

[main token]

isn't it the 12th card though

i did queens because of that

not because of how much they score

[cloud creek]

yes but the face cards are not remotely considered a numbered rank in pretty much any card game

they're 12th in sequence but not in identity if that makes sense

[main token]

i know

[cloud creek]

for example, they're only worth a 10 count in blackjack

[main token]

but a jack is 11 (goes after 10) therefore a queen is 12

i think it makes sense

cause you're not using that value for anything

it's just the 12th and 8th card in order

[cloud creek]

right but a Jack isn't 11

it's just the thing that comes after 10

[quiet mirage]

misprint would disagree with ya

[cloud creek]

then misprint is misinformed I'd say

[brazen mirage]

🔥

[cunning hawk]

thats their card ID

[brazen mirage]

Maybe make 2 jokers from that

[main token]

im making one for this, one for agaetis byrjun and one for hail to the thied

thief

images for reference

the agaetis byrjun is probably gonna be like

Staralfur [uncommon]
when blind chosen, generate 3 face cards (can have enhancements)
-1 hand size

the album is about birth and life and shit so im probably going to try to do some card spawning fuckery

[cunning hawk]

war drums!

background feels lacking and im not satisfied with how the strings look

but, yeah!

[sonic plaza]

you could make the backround like a campfire in the jungle like a tribe song

[heady tartan]

god the [PEACHY] joker is so good

[orchid skiff]

gambling?

[mystic tinsel]

a way that's broad, duh /s

[vapid pelican]

The ratio doesn't line up properly. Balatro cards are very slightly thinner than stock mtg cards. I made then 2.5 inches wide, and then let ms word automatically set the height

[main token]

thinner as in less wide?

[vapid pelican]

Also, the card sleeves I use have a back on them by default, so I've just colour sorted them, Red for tarot, black for spectral

[vapid pelican]

Yep

[main token]

oh

im going to print like 15 jokers maybe

with 15 different deck backs

would docs work for this

[vapid pelican]

It's not as good as Ms word in my opinion

I can make sure they're the right size if you want as I have all the pngs

[main token]

oh that would be amazing

i might get them into pokemon cards

[vapid pelican]

That's fair

[main token]

think this would work

[vapid pelican]

Hold on checking measurements

Yep exactly the same as mtg

[brazen mirage]

Sick ability wtf

[main token]

that is sick

[brazen mirage]

I love deck manip

[main token]

real

[vapid pelican]

Just be aware that the sides of the pokemon card may be visible

[brazen mirage]

Just paint over them

[main token]

thats fine

theyre like

[vapid pelican]

All good then

The black outline on the cards is the back of the mtg card

What jokers are you using

[main token]

oh wait so would the pokemon card be seen partially

[vapid pelican]

Only the outline

[vapid pelican]

That's the mtg card visible as the black outline

[main token]

hm

[main token]

okay let me compile a list

[vapid pelican]

Sweet

Be aware jokers like legendaries and special jokers like photograph are special cases and are hard to do

[main token]

yeah of course

i imagine hologram for example too since thats animated

[vapid pelican]

Exactly

[main token]

wait how many fit per paper

[vapid pelican]

9

[main token]

9 per paper

might need to print 18 then..

😭

[vapid pelican]

You can't get much more than that

[main token]

yeah

Cavendish
The Trio
Seeing Double
Ceremonial Dagger
Fibonacci
Supernova
Madness
Rough Gem
Onyx Agate

first list

[empty juniper]

Could buy some bulk older cards that have white borders

[vapid pelican]

black looks best tbh

its hard to tell theres a card behind it and looks like an outline

[main token]

gonna do some spectrals now

and tarots

would soul work'

[vapid pelican]

Hell yeah

[main token]

hell yeahhh

[vapid pelican]

tarots look soooo good

i would highly reccomend doing stuff like that too

[main token]

some planets too maybe

[vapid pelican]

they work as well

[main token]

do you have deck backs too

actually how do planet cards look on the back 🤔

[vapid pelican]

yes i do

however

joker backs are based of the player deck

[main token]

yeah

do i do some vouchers too hmm

[vapid pelican]

that and stone cards

booster packs too

sounds like i should just send all the cards lol

[main token]

wait no dont

dw

Blueprint
Soul
Immolate
Eris
Death
Temperance
Judgement
Dusk
Castle

second list

thanks in advance btw

super helpful

[vapid pelican]

soul is kind of scuffed tbh

ill give it a try

[main token]

ah no dw if its too difficult

uhh

[vapid pelican]

ill give it a shot

[main token]

if its too difficult do incantation

[vapid pelican]

sure

[main token]

tysm :D

[vapid pelican]

you got room for one more i think

[main token]

one more?

wait did soul turn out ok

cause if it did then i just add incantation in

[vapid pelican]

soul works fine

its 2 images overlayed

[main token]

then we can do incantation sure

[vapid pelican]

Sending the doc to you now

just finding the share link lol

[main token]

amazing

ty!

so for deck backs do i just do the same but with the deck

but only for jokers

i think

[vapid pelican]

so depending on what deck you choose

the back is different

[main token]

hm

[empty juniper]

i dont know if we ever see the backs of consumables, but i assume they also share the same back as everything else in your current deck

[main token]

i was thinking

ghost deck back for all the spectrals

nebula for planets

zodiac for tarot

[empty juniper]

invisible needs a red deck card back

[vapid pelican]

youd have to glue them on

if your not using a card sleeve

[main token]

im using a card album

if that works alright

[empty juniper]

as long as the album is sized for mtg cards it should be fine

[main token]

and magic deck backs for jokers

[main token]

pokemon cards fit so

[empty juniper]

yeah, they are the same size
