[dusty sentinel]

[rocky sorrel]

nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,

[rocky sorrel]

he looks so SAD 💔

[dusty sentinel]

he is confused jester xD

[fathom cypress]

Mix of disgust, confusion, and fear

[dusty sentinel]

exactly!

[fathom cypress]

Also, this balautism is hitting too hard today.

[rocky sorrel]

i just remembered to add the white border on this guy

[rocky sorrel]

too fucking real

[cloud creek]

Balautism is CRAZY

[woeful venture]

Feline joker

[rocky sorrel]

funny cat funny

[cloud creek]

Very cool

[fathom cypress]

That joker destroys other jokers for their amusement

[rocky sorrel]

pushes rightmost joker off the table

[woeful venture]

Knife but less violent

[fathom cypress]

Enemy of Flower Vase

[dusty sentinel]

push rightmost joker into hand

[woeful venture]

Hhow

[rocky sorrel]

uses banner as cat toy

[fathom cypress]

Cat Logic

[dusty sentinel]

anyway i shown funni illeterate joker i'm leaving now bye

[fathom cypress]

And for the how, also Cat Logic

Cya

[rocky sorrel]

forgot i have this in my sheet and never posted it

[fathom cypress]

No… not the Super Auto Pets.

[rocky sorrel]

🐢

i did it for carlbot lmfao

[forest nimbus]

[fathom cypress]

They found me

[woeful venture]

Hear me out, it gives + 20 mult but you cant play face cards

[graceful lava]

Missed opportunity to turn his neck... Thing into a collar lol

[rocky sorrel]

scratchy the face

i was thinking like

destroys rightmost card held in hand at the end of round

bc pushes things over

[fathom cypress]

Nah Katty The Clown

[woeful venture]

OMFG

WAIT

WAIT

[cloud creek]

Just move it down a lil so there's space for the collar

[graceful lava]

I might even suggest getting rid of the weird one red thing on his head tbh

I think the cat would look better if it had a smaller jester hat on it

[rocky sorrel]

rude...

[woeful venture]

Move what down

[forest nimbus]

that's its horn

[cloud creek]

The current collar

[rocky sorrel]

he looks squished its so good

bonked on the head

[woeful venture]

Even steven talking about odd todd:

[forest nimbus]

waiting

[graceful lava]

And then you could have the cat staring at the bells on the joker hat

[cloud creek]

Move it down and then draw a cat collar around the neck and then the clown collar comes out of it

[woeful venture]

Again

Move what down

[rocky sorrel]

the cuff i think

neck thing

[cloud creek]

🫴

[snow harbor]

i am
slightly frustrated at modding-dev

[woeful venture]

The cuff if BECOMING the collar

[snow harbor]

or the one guy that was helping me in the most babying way

[rocky sorrel]

driver's license is unlimited potential

[graceful lava]

I think it's be funnier if the cat didn't have a joker hat on but there was one part of the joker hat hanging down and the cat looking up at it or something

[forest nimbus]

Sorry

[snow harbor]

its fine

[rocky sorrel]

god and adam painting but its joker and joker

[snow harbor]

just
thought this would be faster and that asking how to create the fool card would be an easy thing to answer

[graceful lava]

Something like this

[forest nimbus]

it lost its horn

[forest nimbus]

I mean, the code to create a card is available in vanilla, so you can just read it. It's also documented in the wiki IIRC

[snow harbor]

where.

[forest nimbus]

so I try to direct people to check by themselves where it's easier to understand than having to retype an incomplete explanation

where what

[snow harbor]

where in vanilla do i find the documentation for this function

[forest nimbus]

You can used ctrl+shift+f to search multiple files in vscode

[snow harbor]

mhm

i guess i should get that

been relying on np++

[forest nimbus]

common_events I guess

[graceful lava]

Why does it have a horn though lol

[snow harbor]

anyways, this is art chat

and im a little tired

an i have my answer

[forest nimbus]

accordign to StackOverflow the same shortcut works for NP++

[graceful lava]

It looks less like a horn and more like one of those dinosaurs

[snow harbor]

so im gonna just implement it

[forest nimbus]

it's a cat

[graceful lava]

Idk which dinosaur it is but

[snow harbor]

ok?

[lime ivy]

love this cats face

[rocky sorrel]

the patient needs space-related jokers to live

[lime ivy]

sooo cute!

[forest nimbus]

very good cat head shape

[graceful lava]

It's not mine

[lime ivy]

yah just saw OP

[graceful lava]

Ok good

[lime ivy]

ALSO very exciting news gang

[graceful lava]

👀

[rocky sorrel]

balatro 2 coming out

[fathom cypress]

Yippee

[snow harbor]

jimbos of friend?

[rocky sorrel]

everything is the same but there's less jokers

[forest nimbus]

balatro 2: all even steven

[lavish carbon]

Pals of Jimmy

[rocky sorrel]

balatro 2: Oops! All Baseball Card!

[snow harbor]

it doesnt crash
however

[rocky sorrel]

ah

i'm guessing that's not intended

[snow harbor]

no

[fathom cypress]

Maybe we are the fool

[rocky sorrel]

[lime ivy]

my Friends of Jimbo Guide [How to make custom face card art] JUST DROPPED!!!
It includes the templates I got from Thunk and the whole process behind making the cards so have fun

Also would love to see people post their friends of jimbo in there too!

Here's the thread -> https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1327789793018380431

[woeful venture]

Remade

[forest nimbus]

probably didn't emplace

[forest nimbus]

[rocky sorrel]

HELL YEHA

[snow harbor]

consumables was mispelt

that is all

[lime ivy]

[fathom cypress]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH

[woeful venture]

I guess its a step in the right direction

[snow harbor]

i think i got it

[woeful venture]

Still no clue what it gonna do

[woeful venture]

WOOOO

[forest nimbus]

Now I can finish looking at the [REDACTED] sprites from the [REDACTED] game and turn them into Friends of Jimbo

[rocky sorrel]

may i suggest the thing i already suggeste

[snow harbor]

halle-fucking-lujah

wait

no

still bugged

[rocky sorrel]

thats

[fathom cypress]

Darn

[rocky sorrel]

its so far right

[snow harbor]

0/2

[rocky sorrel]

o

hey its just like regular perkeo now

!!

[graceful lava]

Nice

I still don't really care for the weird thing on their head tbh since it's very... Idk it just doesn't fit lol

[fathom cypress]

It’s like a elf hat, it’s fine

[woeful venture]

Good idea, nah tho

[graceful lava]

Ok

[lime ivy]

@delicate falconsince you had asked earlier!

[graceful lava]

Or you could maybe fashion it into more of a Santa looking hat like that

[woeful venture]

Thats ur opinion

[graceful lava]

I mean... I'm just kinda using logic is all but that's fair

[woeful venture]

Which was?

[woeful venture]

Ur using ur opinion

[rocky sorrel]

destroys highest rank card in hand at end of round

or rightmost i dont remember

bc cats push stuff

[graceful lava]

Right, an opinion based on logic

[woeful venture]

WAIT

[woeful venture]

Can you just stop

[graceful lava]

Ok sorry

[woeful venture]

Yeah yeah I like this one

[graceful lava]

Ive never understood why is destroying cards a good thing

[rocky sorrel]

i cooked allegedly

[rocky sorrel]

so you get the good cards you want

[lime ivy]

more concentrated deck, more likely to get the hand you want

[woeful venture]

Deck thinning, so higher chance to pull cards you would want

[graceful lava]

But do you want your highest ranking cards getting destroyed though

[woeful venture]

WOOOOO

[rocky sorrel]

if you dont then dont pick up the joker

[woeful venture]

Hack, wee joker, idol, walkie talkie

[lime ivy]

if you are doing a low card build then yeah maybe it all depends on the build

[graceful lava]

I could maybe understand more if it destroyed your lowest ranked card or something like that perhaps

[fathom cypress]

Perky + Erosion

[graceful lava]

Hmm ok maybe

[woeful venture]

There are jokers that rely on low hands

[rocky sorrel]

i mean i think rightmost card fits more thematically

[lime ivy]

theres different jokers for different synergies

[woeful venture]

What.

[rocky sorrel]

but thats also like

[forest nimbus]

a deck of five 2s or a deck of 52 cards

[rocky sorrel]

just worse trading card a bit

[fathom cypress]

No Katty + Erosion

[graceful lava]

That's true I suppose

[forest nimbus]

which one do you choose

[snow harbor]

sigh

[tiny kelp]

whats going on

[woeful venture]

5 2s

[tiny kelp]

i just joined

what

[snow harbor]

trying to get this fucking joker to work

[rocky sorrel]

funnies

[graceful lava]

Idk I think I accidentally started drama

[forest nimbus]

needs to use consumeable_buffer probably

[woeful venture]

Rad's tryna code in kitty's custom jokers

[snow harbor]

tell me what that means, in modding dev

[woeful venture]

Im deciding what effect my cat joker has

[tiny kelp]

ok

[rocky sorrel]

i mean

[lime ivy]

nah but maybe we should move the ability crafting to #💻・modding-dev

[rocky sorrel]

i think rightmost card would be too much

since its basically like

better trading card, dont gotta discard

or somethiong

and you can rearrange the cards to the one you want

even if it fits thematically

[woeful venture]

Oh yeah

[rocky sorrel]

i forgot to be able to read

thats my bad

[woeful venture]

We just finished dw

[lime ivy]

npnp!

[woeful venture]

Will keep in mind next time

[lime ivy]

i aint a mod im just making sure the art doesnt get too buried but its all good anyway

[woeful venture]

But heres the finished guy

[rocky sorrel]

[woeful venture]

WAIT NVM

[forest nimbus]

this feels like a Rare effect

[woeful venture]

WRONG IMAGE

[rocky sorrel]

seems overtuned

[woeful venture]

ONE SECOND

[graceful lava]

What if there was some slight scratch makes on the card or maybe some paw prints over it lol

[woeful venture]

Too much detail tbh

[snow harbor]

it works

[rocky sorrel]

evil ass fucking cat

[woeful venture]

YESSS

[rocky sorrel]

seems funny to have claw marks

[rocky sorrel]

freedom

[snow harbor]

i am going to fucking kill this joker

[graceful lava]

Idea, what if there was also a dog joker and a mouse joker

And then somehow

Made the cat, dog and mouse abilities sort of link to each other

Obviously they aren't specifically linked together but their abilities in general are similar or contradictory to each other enough that they would be

[fathom cypress]

Mouse Joker just redirects destroy cards to it and it has 10 uses

[graceful lava]

Idk how that would work but idk just a thought

So maybe the cat destroys the highest ranked card...

The mouse destroys the lowest ranked card...

[snow harbor]

perky joker, costs 4 dollars, common, 1 in 2 chance to create a fool card at the end of shop

[fathom cypress]

So it eats those 10 destroys then the 11th destroys it

[graceful lava]

And then the dog...

Brings back destroyed cards maybe? Idk lol

Like it can bring it back into your deck I mean

It doesn't just put a destroyed card back in your hand

I'm thinking because it would be a retriever dog

[fathom cypress]

It have to be a Rare if that’s the case

[woeful venture]

Now I cba to tweak this mf more

[fathom cypress]

Nice

[rocky sorrel]

he looks malicious

[graceful lava]

What did you change

[forest nimbus]

border

[graceful lava]

Ah ok

[woeful venture]

I posted tho wrong image

[snow harbor]

good art
i would gush more but im extremely tired from my ordeal

[fathom cypress]

Maybe add like paw prints in the background

[woeful venture]

The first message has no border for the colour

[woeful venture]

*collar

[woeful venture]

Bro did not read

[graceful lava]

Alternatively if you wanted to you could put a J on the collar too but the cat head works too

[woeful venture]

Dw dw you rest after that, codings a bitch sometimes

[fathom cypress]

I sure can’t

[rocky sorrel]

the big guy be eating all the little guys!

[snow harbor]

nah, the next two will actually be fairly easily

at least yorick will

[tiny kelp]

how long have you been up

[snow harbor]

very similar to my first joker in some key ways

[woeful venture]

Yeah I dont doubt that, but theres always onr

[forest nimbus]

does it involve destroying cards

[tiny kelp]

i checked through older messages and like

[snow harbor]

its 6pm

woke at 10am

[tiny kelp]

oh

ok mb

[snow harbor]

not the problem

[tiny kelp]

i forgot time zones were a thing

[rocky sorrel]

+1 chip per card discarded this round

[tiny kelp]

at least i mixed them up

[snow harbor]

+1 mult per card discarded this round

[graceful lava]

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm criticizing your art btw Crow, I'm just trying to give little pointers and small things here and there

[rocky sorrel]

thats like...

20 mult?

usually less

[snow harbor]

15

start with 3 discards usually

[rocky sorrel]

could probably do +2 mult per

[woeful venture]

Some of it come of as genuine criticisms and ideas

[snow harbor]

and you generally dont always want to discard 5

[ebon elm]

Not sure if this counts but im working on something

[woeful venture]

Though some of it does sound like you're just hating

[rocky sorrel]

yeah exactly

[snow harbor]

its common, its good where it is

its about as good as misprint's average

(11.5)

[woeful venture]

An animation perhaps?

[rocky sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/mort-crying-scared-gif-21887116

[graceful lava]

I'm not trying to hate... Like when I said I dislike the hat or whatever I'm just saying that I don't think it makes sense from a design perspective. That's all

[ebon elm]

maybe

[graceful lava]

The red part just kinda comes off as confusing that's all. So I'm trying to help adjust it to something that makes more sense

[woeful venture]

Well Im not gonna

<3

[graceful lava]

Alright

[woeful venture]

Some jokers have smth similar and its a genuine tyoe of hate

*hat

[rocky sorrel]

i mean

looks like a hat to me

[woeful venture]

Exactly

[graceful lava]

If I could just suggest one thing, at least add a little time around the bottom of the hat or something

[woeful venture]

No

[graceful lava]

That would definitely help it look seperate from the cat's head

[woeful venture]

No

[graceful lava]

Ugh fine lol

[rocky sorrel]

it looks good*

[graceful lava]

It's a cool design anyways

[woeful venture]

The main joker doesnt have anything

[woeful venture]

No need to be rude

[woeful venture]

Thank you

[rocky sorrel]

my design's better anyways /j

[graceful lava]

Sorry if I'm coming off rude I promise I'm not trying to

[fathom cypress]

lol

[woeful venture]

Even if you arent trying to be rude, you are, so can we please stop talking about your problems with my art and move on

[rocky sorrel]

what did you settle on for the effect by the way

[woeful venture]

WAITT IS THIS THE PLINK IMAGE

[rocky sorrel]

i forgor

[rocky sorrel]

yes

[woeful venture]

Destroys highest rank card currently in hand after each hand played

[graceful lava]

Opens Balatro
Starts round
Gets 3 pairs in a row
Game over

[snow harbor]

spiffplink

[rocky sorrel]

sounds like a really cool and awesome and unique effect i wonder who came up with that

slash jay

[woeful venture]

Lmfao

[snow harbor]

im gonna go get dinner, i could use something after
yeah

[woeful venture]

Splink

[graceful lava]

Oh wait I didn't see it was the highest one currently in hand... Wait do you mean like in the hand played or the hand kept

[woeful venture]

U go enjoy ur food

[woeful venture]

Currently held in your hand

[graceful lava]

Got it, that makes more sense

[woeful venture]

Thats on me

[graceful lava]

No that's on me for assuming the other way lol

I really shouldn't have cause it's dumb anyways

[woeful venture]

Nah I forgot both are called hands

Holdup lemme tweak the description's wording rq

[graceful lava]

But yeah destroying cards kept in hand would be good probably

Question how does that fit the theme of the cat though

[rocky sorrel]

i said destroys rightmost card first but thats too strong

[woeful venture]

Cats are known for destroying things high up or on the edge of a surface

[rocky sorrel]

since its like

better trading card

[woeful venture]

Just better trading card

[woeful venture]

Yup

[graceful lava]

Ah okay that works perfectly actually

Knocking stuff down yeah

I like to imagine instead of burning the card and destroying it the cat has a unique animation for destroying cards

Instead of the card burning away it like gets knocked and falls off screen

[rocky sorrel]

probably too much

or it just says "Pushed!" at the end of the round under the cat

[graceful lava]

Why? The card would just do a thing where it gets bigger for a second and then the playing card that gets destroyed could do a little jump and fall off screen

[rocky sorrel]

i mean like

[lime ivy]

i got some dog jokers in my mod that woof! when they trigger their ability lol not audibly but with the text

[rocky sorrel]

too much effort

[graceful lava]

I think it'd add a hint of charm to it

[woeful venture]

Why would a common joker get a custom animation?

[graceful lava]

Cause it'd be funny? Idk

I figured it'd be a simple enough animation

Just having the playing card fall off screen

Would it be that complicated

[lime ivy]

probs cuz they are sticking to a vanilla style and ability

[rocky sorrel]

prolly

[graceful lava]

Eh alright fine

[lime ivy]

some mods do and some mods dont, depends on the modder but it's worth clarifying before giving feedback

[woeful venture]

Plus the thing is, I aint even modding this in

In fact, I cant

I dont own balatro on pc

[rocky sorrel]

sadge

[graceful lava]

Oh wait when I said they could animate I didn't mean you crow

I moreso meant like if it was hypothetically actually officially in the game

[woeful venture]

I guess, but if we're tryan say officially in game, then it woukd be odd for it to be, not only one of the few jokers with a custom animation, but the only common joker with one

[graceful lava]

How many jokers are there with unique animations anyways

Ignoring stuff like hologram that shifts back and fourth

[cloud creek]

Unique animations?

[graceful lava]

Yeah

[rocky sorrel]

none? i think

invisible joker?

[cloud creek]

Pretty sure none of the jokers are animated yeah

[rocky sorrel]

cant think of one

[snow harbor]

none

[woeful venture]

Wait does burnt joker not?

Huh

Proves the point more ig

[tiny kelp]

not really considered an animation

it just

moves

[graceful lava]

Yeah ok that's fair then

[tiny kelp]

like

[graceful lava]

I could've sworn there was at least a few but that's weird

[tiny kelp]

its just your regilar joker ping

[rocky sorrel]

shares animation with spaceman

and both of them are just planet card triple ping

[graceful lava]

Oh that reminds me I haven't shown these yet

[rocky sorrel]

gift card ! !!1!!

wait...

[graceful lava]

This was for Fast Food Chain and Blue Property (which I kinda got lazy in the middle of)

[rocky sorrel]

monopoly themed joker seems cool

[graceful lava]

Yeah the blue property's ability is
At the start of each new ante, get +$10

[rocky sorrel]

either the game or the man

[snow harbor]

i have returned

[tiny kelp]

how do i make the hammer better

[snow harbor]

and i will hopefully get the yellow joker up and running nice and quickly'

[woeful venture]

Maybe put a white outline aroung the joker word so it doesnt blend in

[tiny kelp]

thall be weird on the white background tho

[woeful venture]

Better than it becoming one with the hammer

If ur so worried about the bg, maybe make it a gold grey outline around both joker words as a nod to him being a blacsmith

[tiny kelp]

ok

thats a pretty good idea actually

[snow harbor]

(for reference, +1 mult per card discarded this round)

forgot to send that message lmao

[woeful venture]

Max of 30 mult isnt bad for a common

I like it

[graceful lava]

This definitely looks better than before

[snow harbor]

that presumes 6 discards

most decks have 3

[woeful venture]

Is that not the max

[snow harbor]

nope

andy

[graceful lava]

Only issue I think the design has is that the hammer is obscuring the JOKER text

[woeful venture]

Oh yeah

I forgot some jokers give discards

[snow harbor]

ye

[woeful venture]

Lemme check the joker list cos now I'm curious what the theoretical maximum that joker could get

[snow harbor]

infinite

presuming negative drunkards

and a sufficiently sized deck

[cloud creek]

But without duplicates

[snow harbor]

without dupes it gets interesting

[cloud creek]

Red Deck + Drunkard + Merry Andy + both Recycle vouchers

[snow harbor]

andy + drunk + recyclomancy

and yeah

[woeful venture]

Fair

[cloud creek]

On white stake

[snow harbor]

soooo

[woeful venture]

Without duping or negative

Its 1y

*16

Discards

[cloud creek]

4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 right?

I think merry andy is +3?

[snow harbor]

ye

i think

[woeful venture]

And blueprint

[cloud creek]

Yeah so 10 discards

[snow harbor]

oooo

[cloud creek]

Incompatible 😔

[woeful venture]

And brainstorm

[snow harbor]

aaaaawww

[woeful venture]

REALLY???

[snow harbor]

laaaaame

[cloud creek]

Yeahhhhhh

[woeful venture]

So 10

[snow harbor]

but also i think kinda makes sense

[cloud creek]

Only compatible with burglar

[snow harbor]

you know what doesnt make sense?

gold joker incompat

[tiny kelp]

idk

[woeful venture]

So 50 mult is the max

[cloud creek]

's because gold joker doesn't "trigger"

[snow harbor]

still kinda lame imo

[cloud creek]

It just passively adds to the income

[woeful venture]

I get why

But I dislike it

[snow harbor]

yeah, but still

[snow harbor]

very nice stuff

[cloud creek]

It IS kinda lame but what can you do tbh

[woeful venture]

Mods....

Make blueprint compatible with EVERYTHING

[cloud creek]

They did yeah

[snow harbor]

golden records
duplicates all end of round sources of income

[cloud creek]

So like, To the Moon but better?

[snow harbor]

yeah ig

i like the name though tbh

and when i say golden records i mean the ones the voyager probes are carrying

ok imma be real, yellow joker is waaaay easier to code

[shell basalt]

double chicot manacle becomes way easier

[pulsar vigil]

back once again with the renegade master

[snow harbor]

yo siiiick

also having modded a total of 2.5 jokers now, crazy respect for you

[pulsar vigil]

Oh yeah the coding side is wild huh

i've only got 10 Jokers implemented fully

[snow harbor]

dang

[pulsar vigil]

I've got my work cut out for me

[snow harbor]

mhm

currently two of these work

the first is atraxia and the other five are legendaryless jokers

[livid elbow]

isnt gold joker already a thing

[pulsar vigil]

Placeholder name

[livid elbow]

ah

[snow harbor]

golden joker

but close enough

[pulsar vigil]

Trying to expand on a little bit of everything so

[snow harbor]

also that art is really good

[pulsar vigil]

I've got a habit of doing not jokers lmao

[snow harbor]

i mean, it works tbh

and theres plenty of not jokers in the game, so i think thats just fine

[pulsar vigil]

I've only got a handful of this style

Huh

[snow harbor]

niiiice

[pulsar vigil]

Backstage pass has the wrong atlas pos in my code lol

[snow harbor]

wow, i recognize what that means lol

sure its the first thing pretty much to learn about modding, but still

[small plover]

I need to know what the common legendarys do!

[pulsar vigil]

i need more commons

[snow harbor]

currently working on yellow joker

perky joker already works

[small plover]

Peak

[snow harbor]

is it just me or did that feel slow

[elder pier]

I think it’s a little slow because a joker card is in effect 🤔 but I could be wrong 😞

Also, before I post any screenshots. Are we allowed to upload images of us d replacing the image files in the game?

[livid elbow]

QR Code - "Gain +5 Mult for every Tag redeemed this run."

[cloud creek]

Does this qr code link to a rickroll or something

[livid elbow]

no

it does not.

it's not anything bad either.

[sullen swift]

can confirm, it's safe

[small plover]

||it's a picture of my main man||

[livid elbow]

i thought it'd be clever

[snow harbor]

nope i figured it out, turns out theres a little line of code that can decrease the delay

[ivory hemlock]

Make the QR code lead to a picture of the same QR code 🧠

[livid elbow]

it's. technically a joker.

since

[snow harbor]

ignore the initial sound

works much better now

is about as fast as ramen now

[jagged ibex]

Ooooo that's very nice

[cloud creek]

It's cute, shame that JOKER couldn't be written in the qr code tho

[ivory hemlock]

I mean, QR codes don't have to be B/W. There is a lot of wiggle room and the QR code will still work

[livid elbow]

i could always recolor it

i had an idea to make an NFT a Joker too

[snow harbor]

alright last one

made it a smidge faster

i think i like this best

[jagged ibex]

How did you shorten the delay between each popup?

Using add_event or something?

[snow harbor]

its dumb

delay = .whatever

i believe default this is 1, but i currently have it set to .15

[jagged ibex]

Ah I see

[snow harbor]

alright guy should be set-
nope mult doesnt actually reset yet

ill have to set that up, but otherwise this guy works

hmmm

it appears to be multiplying mult

not adding it

ok it works now

[graceful lava]

You could do that thing where there's a symbol in the middle of the QR code

A lot of companies do that on their QR codes

[livid elbow]

THAT IS TRUE.

YOU'RE SO RIGHT. HOLY SHIT.

[graceful lava]

Something like these

[livid elbow]

i def think this and the the nft joker are my magnum opus.

[graceful lava]

The ability is pretty good too

[livid elbow]

i have a bunch of jokers if you wanna look at em

#1326389012814102590

[snow harbor]

yellow joker is feature complete!

[livid elbow]

now we just need red joker.

[snow harbor]

nah wrong pattern

say

doesnt this guy look familiar?

after some basic playtesting, feels pretty nice to use

anyways with this guy done im gonna call the legendaryless jokers good for now

[pulsar vigil]

You should make the credits text smaller

[snow harbor]

you know what the thing is for that?

cus that i can do

[pulsar vigil]

absolutely no idea

:)

hope this helps

[snow harbor]

fair enough lol

[pulsar vigil]

lmao

ive not used it yet

[snow harbor]

for future reference

[slate zealot]

gives $10 at end of round -$1 every round

[snow harbor]

heh

[pulsar vigil]

"does nothing. you are the joker"

[lavish carbon]

Gives +100 gold each round. Set Gold to 0 at start of Shop

oh wait its not called gold

[snow harbor]

i did it, and also added an info card to this joker specifically bc it needed it

[cloud creek]

It's kinda like Mystic Summit now that I think about it

[snow harbor]

actually yeah kinda

but scales better/worse depending on discard and amount discarded

[rocky sorrel]

hmmm.....

[cloud creek]

Except hard nerfed by high stakes

[rocky sorrel]

g ood.....

[cloud creek]

Since -1 discard

[snow harbor]

ye

still honestly not a bad joker though

you can still hit 10 mult on blue and higher

[cloud creek]

It's like, +10 mult yeah

Which is

[snow harbor]

which is about misprint

[cloud creek]

Fine I guess

[snow harbor]

but more consistent

[cloud creek]

Yeah

Does require you blast 10 cards though which is rough if you draw your best hand in the first draw

[snow harbor]

ye

its also better with larger hands

because you can store more cards

with painted deck you can store a whole hand and still discard 5

[cloud creek]

Mhm

[rain salmon]

todd n steven

it's really hard for me to think about the jokers clothes but anyway

[cloud creek]

Do you think they're brothers or kissers or just coworkers that made it weird

[rain salmon]

idk about the situation of Todd and Steven in the yaoi/yuri experts

maybe they're roommates

[snow harbor]

and they were roommates...

[mellow granite]

well, said this

[snow harbor]

yoooo

[rain salmon]

WAIT WHAT

[small plover]

is the best, he supports ships

[rain salmon]

OH MY GOD THEY'RE ROOMMATES

[cloud creek]

Awesome

[cloud creek]

Todd has too many eyes btw

[rain salmon]

i just see two

👁️

[lavish carbon]

Nah hes supposed to only have1

[rain salmon]

yeah i gave him two eyes because well in the card he's winking

[lavish carbon]

Taurus completed

[rain salmon]

so instead of giving to him one eye i gave to him just one pair of eyelashes

[small plover]

He could be squinting in pain when Steven pulls his mouth

[rain salmon]

that's so cool omg

[small plover]

You freak!!! One pair of eyelashes ahhhhhh

[rain salmon]

zodiac cards

[blissful wadi]

I forgot this wasnt common knowledge

[lavish carbon]

Thanks! Your art is cool too

[rain salmon]

i am 🙏

[small plover]

I'm in pain

[rain salmon]

actually the idea of todd being in pain it's something i didn't thought abt

that would be good to next time i'll do it

i mean just because make him have one eye

not gore just an expression

[small plover]

Or make him have a sixth sense (third eye)

[rain salmon]

yeah that would be a funny idea lol

i want to make tiny comics

[graceful lava]

Looking good as usual

[snow harbor]

card idea
fudging the odds
adds 1 to both the numerator and the denominator of an odd
i.e. 1/2 becomes 2/3

common

[graceful lava]

I like to imagine the card has the picture of a knife cutting into a tray of fudge

[snow harbor]

lol

[graceful lava]

Only problem is that would imply it's a food joker

[lavish carbon]

A tray of Pie

[snow harbor]

i was thinking something to do with a scratch ticket being smudged or something

[lavish carbon]

cuz Pi

[graceful lava]

Huh?

[cloud creek]

What does pi have to do with this

[lavish carbon]

idk I just thought it was funny

[graceful lava]

That doesn't have anything to do with fudge or changing odds lol

The idea of joker based on Pi is a good idea maybe

It could enhance the numbers 3, 1 and 4

[rain salmon]

pi card boosts a hand that contains a 4, an ace and a three (4,13....)

[graceful lava]

Hmm that's kinda a rare thing to occur

The only logical way that would happen is straights and flushes

[snow harbor]

hmmm
buckshot roulette joker

[blissful wadi]

What if it adds 1 to all numerators and denominators each round, but has a propability to die after you use something with a propability

[graceful lava]

I have an idea

[cloud creek]

"Double or Nothing"
X2 Mult
Playing or Discarding is chosen randomly.

[snow harbor]

oh god

[graceful lava]

Pi Joker (idk) - When a played 3 is scored, transform into a rank between 1 and 9

[snow harbor]

unfortunately that doesnt feel like its programmable

at the very least not by me

[blissful wadi]

0 and 9

[graceful lava]

Whatever

Lol

[blissful wadi]

I was making a joke because 0 isnt in the game XD

[graceful lava]

Ok how about rephrasing it

[blissful wadi]

Sarcasm in text moment

[small plover]

"dibs on shotgun!"
Rare
Every (rank) gets every single enhancement in one, if you don't play that rank the first hand, it gets debuffed

[graceful lava]

Pi Joker - When a 3 is scored, destroy it and then put a non-face card with the same suit in your deck.

Is that better

[snow harbor]

i feel it would work with something like
chance to give x mult
opposite chance to remove one hand, one discard, and five dollars
chance changes every round

probably not that bad but like

[graceful lava]

Basically all you'd have to do is have it not give you a Jack, Queen or King

And then that's the function

[snow harbor]

oh no

[small plover]

How bout like, every number gives 2x mult according to the number on pi, example: starts at three, then one and then four and so on and so on

[snow harbor]

thats absolutely programmable

your original idea

[graceful lava]

Exactly

[snow harbor]

i was talking about this

i dont think i could program that

[graceful lava]

Oh ok gotcha

Idk would my idea even be a good ability

[snow harbor]

its fun

i like it

but i dont think its particularly good

[graceful lava]

It'd be a good way of guaranteeing cards that aren't face cards get added to your deck

If that's not enough maybe it could enhance those cards too or give them a seal idk

[small plover]

It's kinda like certificate or whatever that joker is called but worse? But better?

[graceful lava]

It'll destroy the three and then give you a 1-9 card with a random enhancement like polychrome or whatever

It won't give you seals though

[small plover]

So kinda like certificate and sixth sense had a baby, it's a okay idea

[graceful lava]

I can accept okay

[snow harbor]

3 pair...

i wanna get my six card hands in so bad

[small plover]

Lol

What is a three of a kind and a three of a kind called? Not fuller house, maybe like house full?

I don't remember

[graceful lava]

a Stuffed House

[small plover]

Cool

[snow harbor]

split

[small plover]

Cool

Four of a kind with a three of a kind, fullerer house

[blissful wadi]

Me when this bug use to exist:

And then got patched at the start of the january demo

[snow harbor]

oh lol

[lavish carbon]

Equinox

Creates up to two Zodiac cards

[graceful lava]

interesting

[lavish carbon]

like the high priestess but for zodiac cards

[graceful lava]

yeah that's good

[pulsar vigil]

And she's coded

[graceful lava]

what does defragment mean

is that when you clean a CD or something

[pulsar vigil]

It's a thing your computer does to it's storage to clean up space

[graceful lava]

oooh I see

that's clever I like it

[pulsar vigil]

this, essentially

[snow harbor]

that + andy goes hard

[pulsar vigil]

boutta pull the whole deck out

[snow harbor]

also + the guy i made too kinda

[pulsar vigil]

10 whole ass discards with red deck, drunkard, andy and the vouchers

[cloud creek]

I know that this is an entirely different idea but like, After each discard or played hand, hand size is raised or lowered by something between -2 and +3

just something that popped in my head from defrag

[pulsar vigil]

i be inspiring

[tired blade]

hi yorick

[snow harbor]

yep!

[tired blade]

lol

what does trib do

[sullen swift]

remade my joker.exe

[tired blade]

dang common chicot is kinda cracked

[rain salmon]

the first hand of boss blind effect being disabled sounds kind of good

if you have a strong deck you can save your ass

[snow harbor]

it is with great exasperation that i get to say that perky joker now works 100% properly

down to the chance description being effected by oops sixes

im going to take a very deserved break from looking at np++

[graceful lava]

I like how this all started from a joke post

I forget did it start with the fake soul spectral card or

did the fake soul card stem from this

which came first

[snow harbor]

it was this

[graceful lava]

ok

[wintry thunder]

fighting anything in paper mario the origami king

[snow harbor]

i am
not looking forward to chicot

[graceful lava]

you know I feel like these cheaper versions of legendaries really should have like something on them to make them seem less like just normal cards
is the fake soul card still a spectral card because if so I'm thinking these cards should be like slightly crinkled or something

[snow harbor]

though i did ask modding a while ago and they said it might actually be pretty easy

[graceful lava]

just to make them look a wee bit cheaper or like... make them look like they wouldn't be worth a lot on eBay

[snow harbor]

nah i lile how they are tbh

[graceful lava]

fair

[snow harbor]

the only idea id do with them is putting a very light overlay of their original base cards

very light

[graceful lava]

at the very least like a folded corner or something even would be enough to make it obvious these aren't colllectible lol

[snow harbor]

i want these to be normally attainable

[graceful lava]

ah ok

well in that case it should probably be fine and make sense for them to look crisp

[versed grotto]

Main theme for my music replacement mod is done! Just gotta get it to loop seamlessly and then render the pack/boss/shop themes next. I managed to get it working ingame too so putting it all together should be pretty quick, should have it ready in a couple days if I don't futz with it too much

[graceful lava]

I like to imagine in context of these jokers they're just Jimbo dressing up like the legendary jokers because he wants to become a legend

[snow harbor]

lol

funny

[graceful lava]

they're shitty cheap Halloween costumes

[versed grotto]

So true

Jimbo is a legend 🥹

[snow harbor]

niiiiiice stuff

[graceful lava]

he is the living legend if anything

[versed grotto]

Thanks. I'm pretty proud of the celestial pack theme 😉

[graceful lava]

how'd you do this music are these like digital instruments or is that an actual drum

[pulsar vigil]

It's digital

[versed grotto]

It's 100% VSTs, I can't play an actual instrument lol

[pulsar vigil]

the symbols make it obvious haha :D

sounds good though

[graceful lava]

the fact I couldn't tell should say enough

[versed grotto]

Drums could use a lot of work actually, I usually neglect them

[pulsar vigil]

Precussion is suprisingly tricky

[versed grotto]

Very. I've been meaning to do some studies on it. Doesnt come that naturally to me

[pulsar vigil]

The hats are good, i think maybe it could use something like a brush on the snare or something?

just something to open up that negative space a little

[versed grotto]

Ah good idea, I'll see what I can do

[pulsar vigil]

Good luck

:)

[versed grotto]

Thank you !!

If anybody wants to keep an eye on the mod, I'll be posting about it here (https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1327878716763668560) :-)

[pure condor]

i love it!!!
i will use the mod once its out

[pure condor]

Doubled Joker doing (almost) exactly that:

[versed grotto]

Thank you! I'm happy people seem interested

[pure condor]

https://tenor.com/view/caracal-cute-baby-meow-kitten-gif-26574306

[fathom cypress]

Got bored and made a Dunce Joker.

[pure condor]

of approval

[pure condor]

yay

[graceful lava]

not that I care but is dunce related stuff not considered offensive

I wouldn't know

[fathom cypress]

Is it offensive?

[graceful lava]

idk

[fathom cypress]

It's just the joke of the Dunce Cap as a Joker.

[graceful lava]

I would kinda assume it is but maybe it's not

it is in a lot of cartoons afterall

so probably not

[pulsar vigil]

It's calling someone stupid

[graceful lava]

well to be fair

[pulsar vigil]

Dunce is a person who is slow at learning, or is stupid

[graceful lava]

jesters do act very stupid

[pulsar vigil]

There's much worse you could call someone

[graceful lava]

so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary

or like... incorrect lol

[fathom cypress]

Ah, maybe a name change

[graceful lava]

lemme do research

I keep seeing things that say it's an insult but it doesn't seem like any of that stuff is necessarily a slur or anything like that

so I think it's fine

[pulsar vigil]

i mean calling someone stupid is an insult

so yeah

[graceful lava]

well yeah

but it's not in comparison to the R word

[fathom cypress]

Maybe the name being the Dumb Joker, it's safer

[graceful lava]

dunce is fine lol

[snow harbor]

tbh when i think of a dunce joker i think of some kid that isnt actually particularly dumb or anything just got delt unlucky hands

but dunce itself is fine

[graceful lava]

both literally and metaphorically

[snow harbor]

ye

[pure condor]

https://tenor.com/view/yay-monday-gif-16728956699862657021

[graceful lava]

erm it's a dunce CAP

[snow harbor]

point is id have made the guy not look crosseyed and snotty, just kinda sad

[graceful lava]

🤓 ☝️

[fathom cypress]

K

[graceful lava]

I don't think that matters

it looks fine either way

[snow harbor]

yeah its just preference

[graceful lava]

fair

[pure condor]

you could just make him look dissapointed

[versed grotto]

What does it do? -1 mult?

[pure condor]

like -_- as a joker

[graceful lava]

I think the fact he's dumb and still smiling adds to the dumbness

[snow harbor]

+mult if its not your most played hand

[fathom cypress]

That works

[graceful lava]

because being sad about it would imply he's smart enough to realzie he's stupid

I think being happy and stupid makes it more apparent

[fathom cypress]

Might keep the cross-eyes tho

[pure condor]

i agree with rad dealer's way of putting it
just more got delt stupid hands, not being stupid

[snow harbor]

i think im imagining a different guy being in the dunce cap than you are

[graceful lava]

being delt unlucky hands definitely would be a good frame of base for it's ability

[versed grotto]

ooh, or +25 mult if your mult is less than like 50 or something

[graceful lava]

it could have an ability related to discards

[pure condor]

yea

[snow harbor]

some kid in like one of those old schoolhouses that took some dare from another kid and got into trouble

[pure condor]

so i feel like it would make more sense in that case to make him look dissapointed

[graceful lava]

sort of a Bart Simpson situation

he's not dumb, he just doesn't like acting smart

[snow harbor]

yeah

[graceful lava]

which one could argue makes them smarter

ironically

[snow harbor]

no they dont have to be smart or anything

[graceful lava]

I know lol

[snow harbor]

just an average kid that took a stupid dare

[versed grotto]

maybe taking the joker is the dare

and you are the dunce

[graceful lava]

what if instead of a dunce joker the design was like a joker standing and facing in a corner

in a classroom

[snow harbor]

too far from the original

also its not my joker

[graceful lava]

true

just spewing ideas

[versed grotto]

how many of us have a note in our phone full of random joker ideas

[fathom cypress]

Fixed it

Both a 1x and 2x version

[versed grotto]

yeah that looks better

[fathom cypress]

Made the smile better

[pure condor]

thx
imma try to edit it myself
even though i obv wont get mine added but funs

[graceful lava]

I like how the hat just says "dum"

[versed grotto]

The K on the bottom right is missing a pixel!

[fathom cypress]

I wanted it to say dumb fully but it's funnier just saying dum

[graceful lava]

like as if the person who made the hat was dumb enough to not spell the word dumb right (not you the artist, just in context of the hat manufacturer or whatever)

or like it kinda implies that the teacher was too dumb to spell dumb right

I like how you made his smile more toothy too

[fathom cypress]

Yeah, thought it as more ignorent bliss in a way

[graceful lava]

that is a good way of putting it yeah

that's actually a better way of explaining why the dumber should be smiling lol

the less they know the better

[versed grotto]

X2 mult on small blind only

[pure condor]

i tried to make like a dissapointment version
it aint that good though lol

[snow harbor]

yeah i like this one
though a couple notes on the background and outline, if you want some authenticity
a. black is never used, and 4f6367 is typically used in stead
b. theres a specific border that 90% of all jokers use for the sides, which i can show you if you want

[graceful lava]

if you wanted you could make the words JOKER look like they were clumsilly written with a pencil or something

like to show bad penmanship

[fathom cypress]

How about it being like comic sans

[graceful lava]

or even have it spelt wrong

JOKR

[final bolt]

just tried making my first joker
and i think im also gonna do other phineas and ferb characters too

[graceful lava]

"Hey Jimbo, whatcha doooin?"

[snow harbor]

p&f, based
the eyes feel a little off though

too wide apart

other than that pretty solid

[graceful lava]

not trying to insult the style but it makes me imagine if P&F had a PC point and click adventure in the 90's

[cloud creek]

war never changes

[snow harbor]

tbh from what ive seen of those id take it as a compliment

[graceful lava]

it looks good though don't get me wrong

[final bolt]

does moving one of the eyes by a pixel help

[snow harbor]

yeah i think so

[fathom cypress]

What was that border you where talking about btw?

[snow harbor]

one sec

typically theres a border like this, where its one pixel of bfc7d5, followed by two of pure white

this is practically never broken

(pic of the corner)

[graceful lava]

ah that's a good point

[pure condor]

i think this is better

[snow harbor]

i like it

[snow harbor]

an example of what the border would look like with a gradient background

[fathom cypress]

There.

[snow harbor]

niiice

[fathom cypress]

WAIT STRAY PIXEL

[versed grotto]

move that pixel back over the the K and it's good

[snow harbor]

as one last reminder, but at this point id really say only if you really want too, black is never used in balatro, the darkest color used by any card (besides campfire) is 4f6367

[versed grotto]

I agree it'd look better with a very dark blue/gray

[snow harbor]

but honestly? this guy looks pretty good

(comparison of one of the spacy jokers to pure black)

its kinda crazy how bright the darkest colors are

[pure condor]

ikr
TOO bright imo
which is why i will absolutely obliterate every sprite standard of this game (besides card size ofc)

[versed grotto]

another example

not much contrast, since your card is black and white I might model the colors after that one

[snow harbor]

honestly? its grown on me

balat is a very bright game, and all the pastels and such really work well with it

[fathom cypress]

now, The Dunce Joker

[pure condor]

its conditioned me to see anything darker as EXTREME DARKER OMG ITS DARKER THAN BLACK

[snow harbor]

looking good

[pure condor]

now the bright black on joker doesnt contrast well with the dark part, and it just makes it look really odd imo

[versed grotto]

that might be because the background is pure gray instead of blue-gray

[pure condor]

imo i feel like the pure grays are better

[fathom cypress]

Weren't you guys talking a bit on what it could do?

[pulsar vigil]

Campfire has the darkest black in the game

[graceful lava]

You could try making the background a bit more of a gradient so that the JOKR text doesn't blend in with it so much

[versed grotto]

LOL I didn't even notice it said jokr

[fathom cypress]

Also that JOKR idea was funny tho. It was Mac's idea

[pure condor]

me too
even though i saw the suggestion lmao

[pulsar vigil]

4f6367 is the usual black tho i believe

[versed grotto]

My suggestion was X2 mult on small blinds only. It's useless 2/3 of the time but would be pretty good in early game or as a negative

[graceful lava]

That does sound pretty decent yeah

[snow harbor]

im back to modding, i couldnt stay away
up next is canny joker

[fathom cypress]

Didn't do the gradient but made it look a bit more full in the background.

[versed grotto]

Oohhh I like the posterized effect that's good

[graceful lava]

Posturized? What does that mean

[versed grotto]

It's easier to explain with an example

It kinda rounds the colors

[graceful lava]

Oooh I see

Wait a minute is that Walter White

[fathom cypress]

"Jimbo. We need to play Balatro."

[graceful lava]

If I could suggest one thing maybe you could put a little bit of a white outline around the JOKR text or something

Or a slight grey

Whatever works

[pure condor]

it reduces the amount of colors in an image
id assume its called posturized bc comics reduce their colors to use less ink colors or smth when printing

[graceful lava]

That makes sense

[fathom cypress]

So far, this is final design rn

[snow harbor]

lookin good

[graceful lava]

Very good

Maybe just one more grey outline around the black outline of the joker would be a good final touch-

[halcyon grove]

very cool lookin

[snow harbor]

would yall like to peep the horror of making a joker work?

[graceful lava]

Sure

[fathom cypress]

How bad could it be?
