looks good!

[snow harbor]

i changed the size a little

hmmmm

alright im just gonna set on this

wasnt happy with any of the ones intersecting

ok i think this is actually pretty good

3 down

spray tool + magic wand my beloved

oh yooo i just found proper color data for the TNOs im working with

this is great

[toxic sail]

reverie ortalab would go peak ngl...

[graceful lava]

So you're doing moon cards, interesting

[snow harbor]

cant wait to draw this mf

[graceful lava]

Hey what's like the pixel size of Balatro cards

Both by dimensions and also the literal pixel size

[snow harbor]

in pins, but the card itself is 69px by 93px

plus a one pixel transparent border

[graceful lava]

I'm asking because I wanna try getting into making actual pixel art

[snow harbor]

yeah

theres a lot of info in the pins which has helped me a lot in my work

and if you have a zip file reader like 7zip you can crack open balatro's exe file and find pngs of all the sprites

[cloud creek]

Would a 6 card Flush be a Blush? (Big Flush)

[snow harbor]

😳

[snow harbor]

this is how i do it, not sure if its different for other similar programs

[snow harbor]

then its in resources/textures/1x/whatever specfic file you need

[graceful lava]

what are the color codes for the colors on the normal joker

[snow harbor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1153815324643299458/1156313559731540119/image.png?ex=6782c86b&is=678176eb&hm=8c9c976bdc7f303b32258ce7b5e1b00ce872cf6ee1441c6689c5061e0b17e67a&

id reference off of this

or

do you have aseprite

cus i can copy my reference joker for ya

[graceful lava]

I'm using pixilart

[snow harbor]

if you do

ok

well theres still this

png form of the file

[livid elbow]

i think it'd be cool to have JOkers that give mult based on the color of the card for a standard suit (Hearts/Diamonds, Spades/Clubs)

[south gazelle]

So awesome, well done!

[cloud creek]

Explain?

I assume you don't just mean sin jokers

[odd kindle]

he means that red/black cards give mult

which I don’t see the point of

[livid elbow]

just an idea.

[nocturne cosmos]

If lusty and greed were a single joker ig

[mint raft]

It could be more interesting than just +mult

Blackboard already does something similar

[south gazelle]

Two pair best hand 🗣️

[cloud creek]

Explain the idea though, I don't understand it

[livid elbow]

this

[woeful venture]

Got a collection of jokers that show what the full body of the Joker joker might look like, gonna use it to draw full body fanart

[cloud creek]

So it is just the sin jokers but with a built in smeared joker?

[livid elbow]

pretty much, yeah.

[cloud creek]

Ah. Okie then

“I don’t like that…” -my Dad

[rough juniper]

this was from that comment on your post saying "next draw this" and it was that and you were like "is it bad im actually considering doing this"

[novel skiff]

These are all the moon cards I finished, mainly cause these are the ones that humanity has any pictures of lol

[snow harbor]

yknow, glad to see we had similar ideas for how to draw charon

[novel skiff]

Mhm! :D

I was going to keep going with other moons, mainly of dwarf planets

[snow harbor]

yeah

i went with trans neptunian objects

[pulsar vigil]

Cool

[snow harbor]

im curious, any particular reasoning you went with that shading?

[novel skiff]

Ngl, I'm very amateur, I cant tell you lmfao

[snow harbor]

i was just tryin to replicate the official cards' shading

[novel skiff]

I have two modes. Does it look "weird"? If so, mess with it in a random way until it looks "not as weird"

[snow harbor]

fair nuff lol

[novel skiff]

Shading huh? Lighting who? This bitch looks "weird"

[snow harbor]

lol

[novel skiff]

But yea if you know more than me, I can absolutely say you should follow the rules you can see in the art direction of the game itself

[snow harbor]

mhm

you want a copy of the consumable cards' sprites?

ive been referencing those pretty heavily

here they are, straight from the files

[novel skiff]

Lol nah, I have too. I've been using a copy of the sprite sheet as my own sprite sheet lol

[snow harbor]

oh lol

[novel skiff]

Ye lmao

I was also experiementing with a new consumable type while I was doing the moon cards

[snow harbor]

nice

[novel skiff]

I think Baphomet turned out way better than I knew I was going to be able to make it

[nocturne cosmos]

As Above So Below we love it

[novel skiff]

Thank you YORICK for the ego xmult in these trying times

[forest void]

God this so beautiful.. I love the colors in this.. so good

[sullen plover]

These are really cool

If 6 card poker hands would be added, I imagine that it should work via a Joker

Like 4 fingers which allows you to do flushes and straights with 4 cards, a 6 fingers Joker would allow you to make 6 card hands

[novel skiff]

We had a better idea using the devil deal cards

[empty juniper]

The conceptual issue with 6 card hands being locked behind a joker is that its a lot of work for stuff that will only be available when you have a special joker.

[novel skiff]

It made it more common, and not reliant on getting a single rare joker in your run, so that any run could be a potential 6 card run

^

Expecially if you want other jokers that only work with 6 card hands

See the way Bunco mod does the extra card suits

Those guys are giga brain

[snow harbor]

tbh i was thinking a special deck maybe

wait
oo
spectral voucher

[novel skiff]

Those are both good ideas

[snow harbor]

like the spectral tarot/planet cards

[novel skiff]

The more avenues the better

[sullen plover]

That's fair to be honest! My idea was exactly a common joker you have to commit to in order to use powerful 6-card hands

But I get that there are some issues with that

[snow harbor]

tbh i want these to be rare

but like in a special way

[novel skiff]

Rare is good, but I think making 6 card hands has advantages and disadvantages that dont make it good for every run. Imo people will naturally make it rare cause it's not a good idea for every run

[graceful lava]

Interesting idea

[snow harbor]

for the record i didnt mean rarity of joker

i meant it being rare to obtain in general

[novel skiff]

Yep I know. thats what I meant too

[snow harbor]

ok just making sure

[nocturne cosmos]

Spectral card that is a voucher type effect?

Hand of God

[snow harbor]

closer to a spectral 'card' that can appear in the voucher slot in the store

[clever gate]

friend did some fanart :-) https://x.com/BADcommuter_/status/1877860017338007932 https://x.com/BADcommuter_/status/1877860284246716483

niiiiiiiiiiiice

[shell basalt]

holy shit john balatro it's an honor to meet you sir

[snow harbor]

and presumably also rarely in packs

[nocturne cosmos]

Spectral Voucher lets gooo

[snow harbor]

with similar rarity to blackhole and soul

[leaden atlas]

HOLY FUCK THIS EATS

[snow harbor]

but probably like 2% instead .3%

[leaden atlas]

God I love how diverse the joker sketches in the second image are

[snow harbor]

oh yo i didnt even look that hard at it thats siick

madness sketch give me similar vibes to slay the princess

[nocturne cosmos]

Shop Technique: Chaos Reroll

[leaden atlas]

Ooooo yeah I can see that

[nocturne cosmos]

Marble Joker being a bust like that kinda makes me think

LONG LIVE THE JIMBO REGIME

[rough juniper]

i need more banana art

[leaden atlas]

this you fr

[plucky geode]

dont forget about the wormhole card you made too

[snow harbor]

neeeeat

[forest void]

Oghhh this rocks. He looks like good friend.. 🙂

[hazy halo]

i would trust him

[nocturne cosmos]

What’d it do?

[novel skiff]

It leveled 6 card hands by the amount of times you leveled their corresponding 5 card hands

[novel skiff]

Oh we should have totally had the card behind the hole not in front, that would have been super unique

[plucky geode]

that woulda been maybe difficult? i used the code for the legendaries to do that

[novel skiff]

I wouldnt know lol

In my head you just reference the funny sprites backwards but who knows

[woeful venture]

OOOH

What they do?

I love the visuals

And baphomet is amazingly made

[lavish carbon]

Speaking of consumables

Any tips on how to shade this water?

[plucky geode]

the cards would give some bonus that would help you create a specific hand type, but you would also get a drawback that would make other hands harder to get, but we didnt exactly have a concrete way of having that happen just yet

[novel skiff]

Basically extremely risky deck manipulation, and if you opened a pack you would be forced to take something even if it's not what you're looking for.

For example, the demon for straights may manipulate your deck towards straights by cutting the high and low end of your hand, but you might lose a great card in the process.

[snow harbor]

so what, cut kings queens twos and threes?

[plucky geode]

we had the idea of some of the grimoire cards giving cards in your deck negative modifiers too

[snow harbor]

or two highest and lowest ranks

[tight crescent]

I doubt there are, But any Regretevator players here? (Based on art I saw on the Axolotal Sun discord)

[patent crag]

aaaaand here's a 7th

[lavish carbon]

7th wha?

[patent crag]

7th person who has made zodiac consumables

[novel skiff]

You draw a hand first like an arcana pack. If your highest card was an 8, that would be destroyed

[lavish carbon]

Dang

[snow harbor]

mmmm i see

[patent crag]

well only 2 people have actually made them

the rest were either ideas or art

[lavish carbon]

This will probably stay as art since I have no idea how to code

[patent crag]

its definitely a much more unoque shape i tell you what

[snow harbor]

i should try digging around in the lua tbh

see what i can find i can do

[novel skiff]

I wish you luck! I hate coding so I've never touched it, but I've heard Balatro is relatively friendly.

[snow harbor]

yeah

tbh i dont got a lot of actual coding under my belt, just highschool level stuff

but its lua

i can do something with lua

[grave yacht]

I heard Lua is very easy, yet I still find some things confusing

but when I somewhat get used to it, I might mod this game

[plucky geode]

yeah it seems pretty easy. i'd never really coded before this and still made good progress, but im just worried if anything is actually done correctly

we managed to make a booster pack to some degree too

[grave yacht]

oh well that looks sick!

so I asked for a palette for the jokers (Which I found)

What about the Blinds?

[novel skiff]

You mean a sprite sheet?

[grave yacht]

no I have the sheet

I was just wondering if there was a specific palette used to make them

[novel skiff]

Does the art program you’re using not autogenerate one? If so I recommend Aesprite or Librasprite if you dont know if it’s worth the money

[tiny kelp]

not sure, but

perhaps i could try to assist you?

[tiny kelp]

oooo

[nocturne cosmos]

Frog suit Marcelle?

[tiny kelp]

perhaps you can make the water even more wavy

and then

add highlights where you think the light i scoming from

probablly from the top left?

and shade the shadows

[lavish carbon]

alr thanks

[tiny kelp]

which would be on athe bottom right of teh water

tho idk

take what i say with a grain of salt im not that godd with liqiuds

tho

whats it do

[lavish carbon]

These cards were based on an idea in suggestions

adds like 5 chips to each card of a certain rank and upgrades your future Zodiac cards by 3

[tiny kelp]

ok

wwhats pisces gonna be

for which rank

[lavish carbon]

3

[sullen plover]

That looks really good yeah!

[tiny kelp]

what do these do

what do they have to do with hands types?

[tiny kelp]

ok

i feel like would 2 be better

tho

whatev

[tiny kelp]

cuz

yknow

there's 2 fishies

[lavish carbon]

oh no wait

pisces is 4

aquarius is 3

sorry

[snow harbor]

is gemini 2?

[tiny kelp]

wait

now im confused

[lavish carbon]

yeah i might change it

[snow harbor]

aint gemini the twins one?

[tiny kelp]

yeah tho

wwait

theres two zodiacs that are 2 things

[lavish carbon]

anyway I'll make them all first then decide the numberd

[vale bronze]

TATTERED GHOST DECK: Blinds can randomly have a Spectral-based effect applied to them. After beating them, create an enhanced Spectral depending on that effect.

[tiny kelp]

hey @snow harbor you might wanna take notice of these guyss

[snow harbor]

yeah interesting

we've talked a lil about their 6 card hand stuff

[vale bronze]

Here's the rest (abandoned and painted aren't done yet :( )

[snow harbor]

im not crazy in seeing 🫦 in this right?

[tiny kelp]

OH

ITS YOU

[lavish carbon]

Those are amazing

[tiny kelp]

Deeply upsetting

[solemn zodiac]

more unsettling is this reply i got on twitter

[tiny kelp]

excited for abandoned

[lime ivy]

what a legend

[tiny kelp]

i know its gonna be sick

[soft sparrow]

What the fuck

[rain salmon]

INSANELY cool

[tiny kelp]

despite how badly abandoned deck hates me in game

[rain salmon]

do you mind sharing the deck descriptions? or is that all secret still

[tiny kelp]

there was a reddit post shring them

uh

[vale bronze]

Not all of them are finished but sure

[tiny kelp]

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1gzwmz1/1015_tattered_decks_decks_that_hardermore/

heres the post for 10 of them

sorry @vale bronze if you were typing out the whole thing but i just

sent the link

[vale bronze]

A lot of these have been changed dw it's different enough to warrant typing them out

[tiny kelp]

ok

[vale bronze]

Red: 24 hands and 32 discards that last the whole run. Various actions can gain them back

Blue: 5 hands, unused hands carry over between rounds. Blinds have increased scaling

Yellow: End of round money is converted into a money multiplier(0.1X per $1), no interest, price of everything is multiplied by the current ante

Green: Removes hand money and interest, introduces "Plights", negative modifiers that you can voluntarily choose to apply to a blind to get money

Black: 8 joker slots, rightmost 5 cannot score during a hand

Magic: Grants 2 unsellable cards upon selecting blind. If consumable slots are full, will go into the joker slots. Will destroy jokers to make room

Nebula: ???

Ghost: Blinds can randomly have a Spectral-based effect applied to them. After beating them, create an enhanced Spectral depending on that effect.

Checkered: Start with a deck of spades, playing a card rotates its suit (S->H->C->D->S)

Zodiac: All consumables have a passive effect on top of their active, and can go in the joker slots. Jokers cannot appear in the shop

Anaglyph: Beating a blind grants 3 tags, but doesn't take you to the shop. Skipping goesn't grant you tag but is the only way to go to the shop. The shop is buffed

Plasma: ???

Erratic: Randomly chooses 3-4 random effects(1 major, 2-3 minor) based around randomness to apply at the start of your run)

[tiny kelp]

red sounds like hell oh brother

wait

that means you only get to play one hand per round

dude thats evil

[lavish carbon]

Are these supposed to be like worse than the originals

[cloud creek]

I think they're just quirkier

[tiny kelp]

longggg

[vale bronze]

Harder/more complicated

[tiny kelp]

therye more insane versions of the original

[tiny kelp]

plights should be a mod on their own

anyways i added white borders to my cursed skull

not sure if that makes it look better but whatev

[lavish carbon]

Cool

[tiny kelp]

it does this:

Permanently debuffs every card played in first hand of round, gains x0.1 mult for every card debuffed

[lavish carbon]

Y'know what, Plasma could be "Add chips and mult together,divide by three, then cube it. x3 blind size"

[tiny kelp]

what

[lavish carbon]

for the tattere decks

[vale bronze]

Here's a thought

2 hands, the score of the first hand gets turned into the chips, and the second hand gets turned into mult for an even bigger hand. Start at ante 8

[lavish carbon]

Nah start at Ante 8 is crazy

How would you theoretically even do that

[vale bronze]

I mean

With good hands at blind 1 ante 1 you can do like 300 x 300

Which I guess isn't enough

Okay 4 hands -> 2 super hands

[lavish carbon]

Sounds good👍

Went in a new direction

[tiny kelp]

oooo galaxy gas

jk

tho

hold on

im counting 12 zodiacs and 13 ranks

that doesnt add up

[lavish carbon]

It can be a non-zodiac constellation

[tiny kelp]

uhhhh

big dipper 💀

[novel skiff]

Or it could be the super secret one ⛎

[tiny kelp]

what is that

[novel skiff]

Zodiac 13

[tiny kelp]

for people born on feburary 29

[lavish carbon]

lol

I think a few ppl have had that idea

[tiny kelp]

ok but

what actually is that

ok so

i just searched it up

its an actual thing

its actually zodiac 13 super secret

so

do that

[sonic swan]

Haven't had much time to work on these but here's what I've got for Justice and an updated Lovers card. Gonna be revisiting some of these designs later to better match the original art style, particularly with regards to line work.

[tiny kelp]

do ophiuchus

⛎

[lavish carbon]

ok

[sonic swan]

not sure why the image didn't post

[woeful venture]

LEBANESE?!

[lavish carbon]

Btw i have a few more done + Voucher

[woeful venture]

Wait this is so peak

How do they work?

[lavish carbon]

Thanks

+5 to all cards of a specific rank and +3 to future Zodiac cards

chips

[woeful venture]

Oooh alr

So for whichever one is connected to 3s for example

They now score 8 chips after 1?

[lavish carbon]

yeah

[tiny kelp]

pisces feeesh

[woeful venture]

Oooh nice

[tiny kelp]

yessir

[lavish carbon]

I tried to do the limited color palette and dithering like on Tarot cards

[woeful venture]

I assume the packs wouldnt be too expensive due to how they only ever can gain a few chips

[tiny kelp]

also i just realised you pfp is a scizor hyperx

noice

[woeful venture]

It honestly looks believably official

[lavish carbon]

Thanks!

[tiny kelp]

it does

[woeful venture]

Ngl makes me wanna try make my own set of packs

[tiny kelp]

i have 2 ideas for sets of packs

but

[lavish carbon]

Yeah the only problem is that I have no idea how to code/mod it in

[tiny kelp]

im still not sure what exactly they will do

[woeful venture]

I'll have to think of smth

[livid elbow]

i always wanted a voucher that lets me throw rocks at people.

[woeful venture]

I mean theres the modding channels, you can always mention that you want to mod it in over there

Might be a programmer who likes em and wants to add em in

[tiny kelp]

here's my ideas: I want some wanted poster consumables to apply additional boss blinds effects (e.g. must play 5 cards) to boss blinds for extra rewards and payouts

like

there's one for every boss blind effect

and the rewards will be more money plus something else that directly contridicts the boss blind's ability

so

for the psychic wanted poster itll give you some monies and a negative square joker

and it can only be acctivated on anotehr boss blind

so youll be fighting the psychic and flint together, for example

[elder pier]

I only just purchased this game today but I love it so much already that I designed a silly lil guy.

Not sure if it would be a fair card but it’s what I’ve come up with so far I apologise if this cards concept is stupid in the eyes of experienced players

[tiny kelp]

hmmm

that is really good scaling

but

[fading rune]

kind of sucks but hey free 20 mult if i ever get it

[tiny kelp]

unfortunately wont happen very often at all

still tho

good art

[elder pier]

I thought maybe making the mult higher but I didn't know how easy it was for people to get a deck that worked well with this I'll keep it in mind for whenevr I try creating a new card! Ty for the feedback

[tiny kelp]

i also kinda wanna make consumables based on like

heaven and stuff

like stuff like seraphim

oraphim

but idk what theyll do

[rough juniper]

is it rare?

[patent crag]

yeah probably like 2x mult or something

[rough juniper]

it says "dissapear" so either playing or discarding both works

disappear* gah

oh it says disguarded

[tiny kelp]

would absolutely be busted for that one time i had a royal flush build tho

[patent crag]

probably means discarded

[patent crag]

the one time

singular

[fading rune]

ye but the prob is when was the last time u did a strush build
let alone a royal flush one

[patent crag]

could be 1x mult

[rough juniper]

oh you'd be surprised

go to search and type my username in there

[fading rune]

im too lazy

[rough juniper]

lol

[elder pier]

I must’ve worded it poorly its a card that wouldn’t get consumed so it can be used as many times as needed

I wouldn’t know what to classify the card as though, at least not with my limited knowledge on the game

[rough juniper]

damn you i thought it wouldve been cooler

seems like a rare one

on baron level

almost

[elder pier]

Dw I plan to play this game a lot longer so I understand the system more

[rough juniper]

if it was both discard/play then it wouldve been better tbh, it would be a good card then

[cloud creek]

it's very sink or swim

if you can get consistent royal flushes (super hard) then this is REALLY REALLY strong

outside of that it's a +0 mult joker

[snow harbor]

something about seeing this in game feels very nice
(ill keep most of the modding stuff out of here, but wanted to at least share this)

[cloud creek]

good god that scales crazy

[snow harbor]

consecutive though
also not supposed to be common

so it resets once you buy something

[rough juniper]

i mean just getting one royal flush will give more mult than 10 rerolls with that one reroll joker

equal i mean

[boreal saffron]

Any mtg fans in chat?

[snow harbor]

seems neat, but is disgaurded supposed to be discarded or something?

[cloud creek]

well sure but you could also just have like, Abstract Joker or Half Joker or something

[elder pier]

MY SOELLING AAA

I HATE MYSEL

ONE SEC

[snow harbor]

dammit

[tiny kelp]

woah

[rough juniper]

what would this even benefit

[snow harbor]

reset popcorn?

maybe?

[tiny kelp]

bro knows how to mod

[snow harbor]

i know kung fu

[boreal saffron]

Popcorn, ice cream, turtle bean, seltzer, perishables

[cloud creek]

Ramen

[elder pier]

Fixed :’) ty for pointing out the spelling error

[boreal saffron]

Oh yeah forgot Ramen lol

[elder pier]

It’s 2am for me so my brain is not working

[cloud creek]

if it shreds stickers during recreation then it's definitely good for rentals and perishables

but if it's just the "copy" function then it's not gonna help because that keeps stickers

[snow harbor]

and the current state of a card

[boreal saffron]

If it resets perishables that isn't the worst, but honestly the whole idea was to make maybe ice cream and turtle bean usable long term i didn't think of all other possibilities lol

[snow harbor]

i.e. popcorn at 16 mult will stay at that

[rough juniper]

OH RIIIHT

right*

that with seltzer.. damn..

[snow harbor]

seltzer plus this would actually be insane

[rough juniper]

this might go well with burnt joker

[patent crag]

wait i dont get it
make an example situation

[boreal saffron]

I'm a straights enjoyer so I like the idea of turtle bean with this for MAXIMUM HAND

[snow harbor]

wait you can also juggle

[patent crag]

oh discarded
so i was right then

[snow harbor]

just let a different one be reset every round

[pure condor]

does that mean that it GAINS 20 mult each time a royal flush is discarded? cuz if not you could just say when instead of every time

[elder pier]

Yeah ^^ so if you had a royal flush in your hand, if you discard it the card will get +20 mult every time you discard a royal flush in your hand

I assume they're pretty rare to come across unless you build your deck for that specific reason

[boreal saffron]

Id make that a +multiplier over a flat + but that's just me because of rarity of hand

[elder pier]

My wording may still be really poor but my excuse is im super tired and Im just super hyped about the game and wanted to draw some art for it

[boreal saffron]

It's a great idea! Just needs more value imo

[pure condor]

if it gains 20 mult thats kinda insane if the rng gods permit it to be lmao

[patent crag]

its really nice art
its only really the effect

[odd kindle]

is this true or should i follow the pinned jimbo?

[pure condor]

yes this is true, though yes do also follow pinned joker if thats what you want to do

[odd kindle]

i moreso just mean for the dimensions

[pure condor]

then yes its true'

[odd kindle]

im still a little confused

on the spritesheet i found (spriter's resource) it seems that the game's sprites are the 69x93

this is blueprint overlaid with the template i'm making for myself, if you look at the edges you can see its smaller

[snow harbor]

plus a 1px transparent border

[odd kindle]

OH that's what it is?

[snow harbor]

yep

[odd kindle]

ok, i didn't know that

[snow harbor]

its used very sparingly, the only thing i can think of myself is abstract joker

but you can use it for details if needed

and if you do, its still only 1px

[cloud creek]

probably avoid that

[snow harbor]

yeah

[snow harbor]

also mb, hallucination

[odd kindle]

i was so confused lol, ty for the clarification

[snow harbor]

all good!

but yeah this guy has a few things that stick out to that 1px border

[vast escarp]

Shoutout to the dream I had last night where all the freaky joker art was required to be posted in a seperate thread and said thread soon became a cult dedicated to gros michael

[tiny kelp]

gros michel

[cloud creek]

do we wanna know what "freak joker art" entails

[vast escarp]

joker art that contains.......

boobs.......

[livid elbow]

i dont remember this boss blind.

[cloud creek]

scary 😨

[odd kindle]

ok, so i put together a template with everything in different layers. just to make sure, i do have this all correct, right?

[cloud creek]

yeah but also the exact position of the joker itself can and has been changed slightly for certain cards

[odd kindle]

wdym?

[cloud creek]

go look at torn joker

[vast escarp]

Also the freaky™ joker art in question was almost always not lewd in the slightest but everyone treated like it was and I cannot tell if it was an inside joke or if everyone went insane

[cloud creek]

lol

[odd kindle]

do you mean half joker

[cloud creek]

that's the one

[odd kindle]

ah ok

so you mean that as in, it goes past the white and grey borders

in its design

[cloud creek]

no like

literally just overlay it over the regular joker

[odd kindle]

ok hold on

[cloud creek]

you'll see what I mean

[odd kindle]

ohh i see

[cloud creek]

yeeeeee

[odd kindle]

jimbo is farther up on half joker lol

i only have him in the base position for the sake of having it if i want it

[cloud creek]

there's a couple other jokers that also shift the guy around but that's basically the whole deal is don't feel beholden to the template

[odd kindle]

yeah, i know lol

also if it's useful i can post the template here, it's for paint.net though

[thin moth]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but how does the new negative shader work?

The way I see it, it makes everything black and yellow-green and blue, which looks really really cool, but what I'd really like to know is how to "negativize" regular images.

[odd kindle]

could just be a regular negation filter with some extra fanciness to it

actually nvm lol no its not

[cloud creek]

there's some specific math to it

the RGB channels all get affected individually

[odd kindle]

makes sense since blues seem to stay relatively unaffected? judging from what i'm seeing and remembering

[livid elbow]

Bait - "Sell this Joker to add 3 random Tags to your hand."

yes.

this is bait.

[patent crag]

i do remember someone posted how to apply the effect
but i dont remember where

(It's very shitty i made this in like 2 minutes 😭

[pure condor]

hes so strong he compressed the background

lmfao

[livid elbow]

Scratch-Off Ticket is done

i know a lottery ticket is an overused concept but

[paper hound]

The humble and potentially convenient Lucky Card:

[livid elbow]

no yeah. that was the inspo.

[paper hound]

https://tenor.com/view/in-shock-shocked-geller-ross-gif-24769590

[odd kindle]

ok, here's the template i made :D figured I'd post it here too in case anyone found use out of it. in a paint.net format since that's what I've been using
includes a color palette and center lines as well as the joker texts, jimbo, and the border all separated out

[fathom cypress]

Got bored and made art for a funny Freddy Joker. Any suggestions on what it would do or possible improvements?

[fading rune]

make him play his music at 3am

[snow harbor]

alright, its done

after a little too much bug fixing, it works

[fathom cypress]

Imagine that with money boosted cards like Bull and a income maker.

[snow harbor]

mmmm

my friend said it should be uncommon, thoughts yall?

[odd kindle]

no

keep it rare

[snow harbor]

mhm

[fathom cypress]

That's 1.5x mult gained per set.

[snow harbor]

yep

[fathom cypress]

So 100% keep it at rare

[snow harbor]

but unless you already have your build up, nothing can be bought without it resetting

but yeah rare was what i was thinking

and for what its worth, costs 7

which i thought was reasonable

considering vamp is also

[cloud creek]

it's kinda like Madness

but instead of killing jokers you just never get new jokers in the first place

[snow harbor]

mhm

honestly, im probably gonna be playing with this, lol

just have it

doesnt feel game breaking

[small plover]

Throwback finna go hard

[snow harbor]

well

they kinda anti synergy

because it gets its extra mult every time you beat a round

so no skipping

[small plover]

Oh because it's not like not okay I understand

[snow harbor]

ye

it resets when buying stuff but increases at end of round

[lavish carbon]

I'm wondering if giving it a darker outline before the white one would make it better

[snow harbor]

whats it do?

[lavish carbon]

It's the previous voucher for the Astrolabe

[snow harbor]

which does?

[lavish carbon]

Good question lol

[tiny kelp]

yo bad news hyoerx

[lavish carbon]

havent really thought of it

[tiny kelp]

i just wacthed an ortalab video

and it seems they already made zodiac cards

[lavish carbon]

I think mine are distinct enough since theirs are just the symbols

[tiny kelp]

they are

but

yknow

its still kinda awkward

[lavish carbon]

And theirs have more to do with temporarily improving hand levels

[tiny kelp]

yeah

well

im still rooting for you hyperx

your cards are cooler

[lavish carbon]

Thanks

[merry hull]

+2 hand size? idk

[merry hull]

X0.5 mult per hand size or something.

[lavish carbon]

Well I think the first would be like Telescope

[merry hull]

1st one is +1 or +2 hand size

second one is like observatory except with hand size

[lavish carbon]

"Constellation Packs always contain the Zodiac card for most common rank card in your deck"

And the second one would be "Zodiac cards scale 2x as much"

[merry hull]

is this a mod 0__0

[lavish carbon]

No its just an idea so far

Maybe if I learn how to code it

[merry hull]

k....

[snow harbor]

even though it took me a couple hours
honestly not that bad, theres a pretty solid tutorial video to get you started

[lavish carbon]

Oh cool! What's it called?

[snow harbor]

oh uhhhh

[snow harbor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&pp=ygUYYmFsYXRybyBtb2RkaW5nIHR1dG9yaWFs

this

its just for jokers but if you pay attention as to what goes to what and read some of the documentation you can figure out how to use it for other things

[lavish carbon]

thanks

[fathom cypress]

Made a Golden Freddy one too, fixed the sizing

[unborn frigate]

Two Pair lover

[graceful lava]

ah this is for the zodiac ones right

[graceful lava]

very cool

[lavish shadow]

Sketch I made in class

[cloud creek]

nice

[odd kindle]

tulip snake !

not crazy happy with how it looks but not much of an artist so

repositioned him a lil

[fast hamlet]

chat i need some opinions

i have to make one of these for EVERY joker card so i wanna make sure it looks good

how do we feel about this? Anything I could change?

[cloud creek]

King you're here too

hello

[cloud creek]

the musculature is gonna need some work I think

[mint raft]

Hi king 👋

[fast hamlet]

TILTED LMAOOO

WTF YALL DOIN HERE LMAOOOOO

[fast hamlet]

oh im aware of that much

I simply have no experience with most art, let alone pixel art

I do texture work for inanimate things, that's it

[cloud creek]

bih I been here wtf are YOU doing here

[lavish carbon]

Did you use the symmetry tool? Most jokers in Balatro don't use that I think

[fast hamlet]

nope

[stiff plinth]

I mean. I use the symmetry tool all the time and I don't think i've ever got a complaint about it

[lavish carbon]

I just mean

It feels kind of... Static?

[stiff plinth]

Anyway unrelated. Here's the Cups Minor arcana in the balatro style (will be added to paperback sometime)

[lavish carbon]

That is cool

[still bobcat]

moar cards

[lavish carbon]

whut

[cloud creek]

the gorls

[south gazelle]

MEEEEE RAHHHH

[tiny kelp]

woah what

[stuck coyote]

flush > two pair ngl

[tiny kelp]

oh no

[south gazelle]

Ante 1 at most, i wont lie

[tiny kelp]

and thus starts the war between two pair and flush

[stuck coyote]

mann...

[tiny kelp]

Can we just meet in the middle with flush house?

[south gazelle]

I can

Goes crazy with odd todd and even steven

[stuck coyote]

no

[south gazelle]

My fav hand has to be 2 pair

Okay best hand is 2 pair

[lavish carbon]

What if 4 fingers unlocked a hand called flush two pair

[tiny kelp]

no

[lavish carbon]

Yes

[tiny kelp]

no

[south gazelle]

[snow harbor]

another one down

[lavish carbon]

Cool

I like orcus

cuz it has a friend

[tiny kelp]

oh wait

i just noticed the solar system diagram at the top

its changed

interesting

[snow harbor]

you like it?

[tiny kelp]

yeah

for kuiper belt i assume?

[snow harbor]

ye

[tiny kelp]

ye

[snow harbor]

i was planning on the belt to be shorter

but

[tiny kelp]

ok time to actually play balatro

[snow harbor]

i happened to pick five dwarves in it

no

eight

sorry

9

[tiny kelp]

💀

[snow harbor]

actually

[tiny kelp]

almost all of them are inside

[snow harbor]

yeah lol

[tiny kelp]

only ceres isnt

but

its still in a belt

just a different one

[snow harbor]

ceres isnt here?

[tiny kelp]

yeah

its in the asteroid belt

not the kuiper belt

[snow harbor]

no i mean it isnt on my list of planet cards

[blissful wadi]

[tiny kelp]

well

yeah

We where talking about dwarfs in general’

[snow harbor]

i was talking about my guys

[tiny kelp]

anyways

time to actually play balatro

[snow harbor]

lol

also bad news
no spectrography for the next guy on my list

[paper hound]

i unironically haven't played balatro in forever

[snow harbor]

i dont got color for this mf

...
!
however!

maybe i can tie it into planet X

its also 6oak, and PX is 5oak

sooooooo

[tiny kelp]

nice

[lavish carbon]

Spectral card for Zodiac

Based on the largest named constellation

[tiny kelp]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

veryyyyy nice

[lavish carbon]

thanks

[tiny kelp]

8 ball did jackshit but i bought it early and eternal so

[snow harbor]

we're making it work

[tiny kelp]

niceeee

i love to see it

[sullen swift]

Tried to improve my Wild Draw 4 Joker, which is better?

[fading rune]

right
now i can use this to ruin friendship
(also pls make wild draw 10)

[snow harbor]

uno infinity enjoyer?

[fading rune]

nah uno no mercy enjoyer

[snow harbor]

aaah him

or wait

no the thing im thinking of uses no mercy

not is no mercy

Drac is done

[tiny kelp]

f-

[snow harbor]

damn

this is the art channel, but damn

[cloud creek]

rental boot

[snow harbor]

im glad ive managed to make each of my planets at least somewhat different in some way

[sullen swift]

threw this together in 15 min

[fading rune]

the perfect joker
now i can spam 3 of them and instanly eliminate my friend
not the physical kind

[snow harbor]

my question is what does this and the above one do

(also they look really good!)

[sullen swift]

Maybe something like "+4 hand size for this round if played hand contains a scoring card of every suit" for the wild draw 4

and I don't have anything for the wild draw 10

also thanks!

[snow harbor]

obviously its an unconditional +4 and +10 handsize, lol

hmm

[sullen swift]

I feel like wild draw 10 would be a cryptid exclusive

[snow harbor]

naaaaaaaaaaaah itd be fine :]

maybe idea
starts as a +2 wild and gets upgraded through... something

kinda like banana

[sullen swift]

maybe like a weird combo of square joker and juggler

[snow harbor]

mmm

[sullen swift]

gain +1 hand size if hand contains exactly 4 scoring cards

[snow harbor]

ooo

maybe if you do that in three different blinds it upgrades?

so its not too strong

[sullen swift]

yeah, but maybe up it to 2 because it's 3 seperate blinds

[snow harbor]

mmm

i think i like that

+2 handsize if you play exactly 4 cards on 3 blinds

easy and concise [:

[sullen swift]

like "gain +2 hand size if hand contains 4 cards on 3 seperate blinds", to make it more in the balatro style?

and wild draw 10

oh baby

it's gonna be powerful

maybe like cryptid's fast food M where it expires and you have to play 4-card hands to keep it alive

"+10 hand size. Self-destructs in 3 hands. Lasts for 1 hand longer for every hand played that contains exactly 4 cards"

[snow harbor]

i like it

honestly might be worth taking on a mime/baron build

[sullen swift]

thanks, anyway i'm goin to bed

[snow harbor]

cool

one of two weird planets we're doing

though less extreme compared to the other guy

[tiny kelp]

image be looking like that one meme

[snow harbor]

lol

[tiny kelp]

you done with it?

[graceful lava]

The second one would be awesome

Kinda surprising there isn't already an UNO card in the game tbh

[tiny kelp]

now make a wild draw until get colour uno flip card

[tiny kelp]

copyright

[graceful lava]

Well duh

But like with this design it's just different enough

Plus I think you could argue it's parody anyways

[tiny kelp]

true

[tiny kelp]

do this

[graceful lava]

But what do I know, Nintendo wants to sue Pokemon with guns

[fading rune]

GOD FORBID THIS CARD

[graceful lava]

I don't think a flip card is necessary lol

But it would be neat

[graceful lava]

Stray pixel btw

[tiny kelp]

i choose orange

now draw

[fading rune]

yay orange card :D.

[snow harbor]

oh if it makes you feel better thats my cursor

[graceful lava]

I like to think maybe what the wild card would do is take all the cards you played in a hand (or all the scored cards anyways) and change them all to a random rank

Sort of like that one spectral card

And obviously it would do this after the cards were scored so it wouldn't mess with the hand stuff

[snow harbor]

actually
a joker that converted all cards played into the same random suit would be kind of baller

[tiny kelp]

lets do this

lemme make it real quick

[snow harbor]

good but not crazy good if its random each time

and, importantly

[tiny kelp]

yeah

[snow harbor]

it was after scoring

[tiny kelp]

its funny

[graceful lava]

Well it would do it after the cards were scored, it's not gonna like turn a straight into a straight flush or anything

[tiny kelp]

its balller

[snow harbor]

to prevent a free flush

[tiny kelp]

its perfect

[graceful lava]

Exactly yeah

Fuck it you should post that to the submissions

Or whoever made the art

Hat Stack

[tiny kelp]

whar?

nah lemme create it

i wanna create the acursed draw for colour

[cloud creek]

huh wha

[tiny kelp]

not you

[snow harbor]

different hat

[tiny kelp]

AskewCap

not you

[graceful lava]

This really is putting a hat on a hat

[tiny kelp]

actually nah

i realise i will have to take from his formatting

and well

[graceful lava]

I mean let's be honest there are a lot of game cards that are just kinda missing from this game

[tiny kelp]

thats stealing

[graceful lava]

Especially if you compare to Dungeons and Degenerates

Like they don't even get very subtle with their references lol, they literally have Jimbo in the game

But to be fair they probably got permission to do a majority of their cameos

Like the Slay the Spire cards

But they have stuff like a +2 from UNO and a Get Out Jail Free Card

[tiny kelp]

tho

think about it

DnDegens

is much less popular than balatro

so theyll get to avoid the copyright

[graceful lava]

Ok but it's still a video game

First of all

This game is pretty big enough

I'd say it's got like a quarter of the popularity of Balatro even

It's not a sensation by any means but it's still big enough for people to be like "hey wait a minute they used our thing"

[lavish carbon]

I watched a video a while ago about an UNO fangame someone made that got copyrighted because they used the phrase draw 4💀

[graceful lava]

You also have to consider that they used the old orange version of the Get Out of Jail Free Card design

They used the old orange design the Monopoly cards used to have

So obviously those designs must not be copywritten

I think they used an old UNO card design too

So I guess it's more so just a matter of figuring out what you can get away with than parody

[lavish carbon]

Pack design

[tiny kelp]

if only more people were chill about copyright

[tiny kelp]

FEESH YESSSSSS

[graceful lava]

I was thinking of it being called the Astro Pack but cosmic works too

[snow harbor]

hmm
mixed booster pack

[lavish carbon]

Astro pack I was thinking of but Ortalab's zodiac packs are called Astral packs so I wanted a different name

[graceful lava]

Ah ok

Copyright, people, copyright

[snow harbor]

40/40/15/5% of tarot, planet, joker, and spectral card, 4 and 6 slots for normal and jimbo/mega packs

[tiny kelp]

no add chances for your own type cards

make it a real mixed bag

make it all equal

equal chances

[snow harbor]

i think tarot and planet should be at least more common

[tiny kelp]

that way you can get rewarded for taking risk into spectral/jimbos

[tiny kelp]

i get where youre coming from cuz theyre commons

but nah

embrace the baller

[lavish carbon]

That s the thing

[snow harbor]

fun fact, certain m&m colors are more common in m&m packs than others

[lavish carbon]

It wold be really hard to mod in extra card types in packs

[tiny kelp]

😱

this some "santa isnt real" type shit

[snow harbor]

also wait
30 30 20 10 10
the 20% is playing cards

[snow harbor]

learned so in statistics

[graceful lava]

Do you guys know how Zodiac cards work

[snow harbor]

not particularly no

[graceful lava]

Ok so

Uh

Here

[snow harbor]

also that relies on which zodiac cards

[graceful lava]

Search "Zodiac" in suggestions

[snow harbor]

yours i presume?

[graceful lava]

And you'll find it

But basically what it is is...
1 through 13 Zodiac Signs (with the 13th one being the questionably proposed 13th one)

1 through 13 card ranks

[snow harbor]

cool stuff i saw

[graceful lava]

Based on the sign card you choose that will add +5 to that rank of playing cards permanently

And then it adds another 3 to that adder for the next time you level it up

For example

All 2s would be worth 7 after using its corresponding card once

And then the next time you do it it'll become 15

The main point is that it's just planetary cards but for playing cards

[snow harbor]

ye

[graceful lava]

And yes I am aware that hitchhiker exists

[snow harbor]

ye i dont mind

[deep parcel]

Top ten dagger plays

[graceful lava]

Wait you can use dagger on egg-

Holy crap that's genius

[snow harbor]

wait

eternal egg

[graceful lava]

I'll have to make sure I write down that trick

[snow harbor]

eternal eggs are a thing

hooooly shit

[deep parcel]

giftcard and egg are like the best cards to combine with dagger

[graceful lava]

What does gift card do again

[deep parcel]

Isn't that useless because you can't destroy eternal cards lmao

[snow harbor]

well

i think it might still

no

[deep parcel]

1$ of sell value to every joker in your inventory

[snow harbor]

thats a madness exclusive thing

[tiny kelp]

toxic yoai

[deep parcel]

Doomed yuri

[snow harbor]

(if you have all eternal jokers madness cant destroy anything but still gets the mult

[tiny kelp]

yeah

[snow harbor]

wait
ahem

[snow harbor]

MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL OMLETTES HERE JIMBO, CANT FRET OVER EVERY EGG

[tiny kelp]

top ten references

[snow harbor]

an egg to surpass metal gear

[graceful lava]

I love eggs

Yummers

[snow harbor]

(i have never played any metal gear game)

nor do i actually like eggs irl either
also dont use ceremonial dagger on me, id only give like 1 mult tops

[tiny kelp]

bro is worth 50 cents

[snow harbor]

tops

tbh i think thats pushin it a lil

[tiny kelp]

dont have much time today so here is a somewhat rushed blacksmith joker

i looks kinda bad but idk how to make it look better

[graceful lava]

I think the problem is that the hammer looks very flat and... Minecraft lol

It's also weird that it looks like it's strapped to the back of their head

[tiny kelp]

true

wait

is the problem with the hammer?

like

apart from the hammer is it fine?

[graceful lava]

It looks pretty fine yeah

I meant the mask could cover their face a bit more

The point of a welders mask is that it covers your whole face

So what you should do is have the glass part be a bit more transparent looking so you can see their face in there

[tiny kelp]

idk

i think the mask hole is fine as is

[graceful lava]

No but you don't understand

The mask is only covering half of his face

If he was to actually do welding with that his whole bottom half of his face would get bombarded with sparks

[tiny kelp]

ook i understand

but i feel like i should show his smile

cuz without his smile all the whimsy is gone

but

now how do i fix the hammer

[graceful lava]

Exactly

So here's what you do

You make the mask cover all of his face

And then make the window/glass part bigger

[tiny kelp]

oh

but thall look weird, no?

[graceful lava]

So you can see his face from in the mask

I don't think so

[tiny kelp]

i think it needs to look like that

so people can see via the image thats its a blacksmith

[graceful lava]

Or at the very least you could have the mask sort of...

Let me find an image

You could make it above his head and not over his eyes

[tiny kelp]

well i tried that

its kinda hard to make it look like that'

[graceful lava]

You didn't really make it look right, sorry

It kinda just looks like a pot on their head more than a welding mask

[tiny kelp]

ehhh

it was rushed

[graceful lava]

That's fair

[tiny kelp]

what colour should i make his hair

or her?

i have no idea what im doing please help

[patent crag]

you done did lobotomised him!
where's the top of his headdd

only the forehead is safe

[tiny kelp]

the welding mask man

i told you

idk what im doing

[patent crag]

he sure needs to weld his head

[cloud creek]

That's definitely not standard procedure for a lobotomy

[novel barn]

sleepy jonkler 🤤

[tiny kelp]

uh oh

soemone didnt put the word joker in their fanmade jjoker

still tho

nice

[chilly tangle]

That means it's a legendary, rules are rules

[tiny kelp]

true

[novel barn]

oh yeah its legendary

also I did a small touch up of the other gents

just for a bit of practice doing that cool gradient thing thunk does on all sixes and a few other cards

[tiny kelp]

nice

how does he do it

tell me

[novel barn]

well what I did, was I created a gradient map, of two hand selected colours (a lighter and darker shade of a base colour) and then I use the gradient on the background, and then on foreground shapes

but I reverse the gradient for the foreground shapes

then slap a jimbo on top

not gradient map

just gradient my bad

I think

I dunno terminology

[cloud creek]

You can also just like

Do a flat gradient, duplicate it, flip it horizontally and then cut the shapes out of it to reveal the unflipped gradient behind it

[tiny kelp]

eh

thats feels like too work

anwyays

this better now?

[cloud creek]

Could go a wee bit more like 3-5 more pixels

Maybe not even that much

Try like 2

[patent crag]

2 px up

[patent crag]

wew're not trying to make his forehead a boardgame

[graceful lava]

This looks much better yes

Not perfect but it's getting there

[cloud creek]

Just raise the mask itself

[graceful lava]

I love this a lot

[novel barn]

omg thanks so much :)

[graceful lava]

I think it can be excused that it doesn't say JOKER on it

The joke is that they're Zs

Plus it's visually obvious it's a Joker anyways

[novel barn]

ive been trying to just like "slight edit" original jokers just to get some practice :D

[novel barn]

thanks for that, I was stressin on the text hahahha

[graceful lava]

Idea

What if you put a pillow behind their head

[novel barn]

OH SHIIIT

I might have to cook that tomorrow

[graceful lava]

You could also maybe instead of a white background make it look more like a blanket on a bed or something

[novel barn]

make the texture of the card like cushion hooly

[novel barn]

YES hahaha

exactly my thoughts

[graceful lava]

You could just make the card look like a pillow lol

[novel barn]

cheers for the idea legend :)

[graceful lava]

That'd probably look better actually
