[lavish carbon]

Chair lol

I think it's the arms/legs

[cloud creek]

....turns?

[lavish carbon]

Balatro the turn-based rpg

[umbral solstice]

?

[cloud creek]

Balatro doesn't have turns

Do you mean rounds?

[lime ivy]

the CAT FACE CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

theyre all so great!

oh man the colorblind test, brutal

(for those who are colorblind heh)

[cloud creek]

I'm colorblind and I can see the J so clearly you did it wrong

[lime ivy]

can you see the J in this one?

[cloud creek]

Does that one have a J or is it just the vague shape of a jonker?

[orchid skiff]

would this work for modded rarities

[livid elbow]

i. i actually cant.

im slightly colorblind.

[lavish carbon]

Create an exotic joker after 10 rounds

[lime ivy]

im so sorry i lied about the J

[lime ivy]

yeah just a jonkler outline but it aint vague

[livid elbow]

i can tell there's something there! i just. cant see it very well.-

[lime ivy]

its a joker silhouette!

[livid elbow]

oh! it is

[rocky sorrel]

waow

[livid elbow]

Fool's Gold

[thin bloom]

doppio

[thin bloom]

oh my god i see the jonkler now

[golden pewter]

https://tenor.com/gOTAXYOLv6U.gif

[vale bronze]

God it looks so good

[stiff plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/doppio-gif-1252098928826307880

[stiff plinth]

That does look really good in game!

[eager topaz]

what happens with the needle and the water?

[paper hound]

Maybe name it like "Quick-Time" or something? Tattered Red Deck really sells how good this is

[vale bronze]

I mean the whole point is that these are b-side decks

[paper hound]

oh

💀

mb

[vale bronze]

ur fine

[paper hound]

good question tho

would it go 20 -> 1 -> 19?

[eager topaz]

that would make the most sense

[paper hound]

well actualy it would be 20 -> 1 -> 21 since you're beating it with 0 hands left

[eager topaz]

true true

[vale bronze]

Nah they're reworked in this deck along with a bunch of other stuff

[paper hound]

👀

what are they changed to?

Needle/Water, Drunkard, etc.

[dusk aurora]

really lazy thing but i find it funny

[paper hound]

is it like those name soundalike shitposts

[cloud creek]

Are you gonna make the hands and discards reset after beating ante 8 so people can go endless more viably?

[vale bronze]

Maybe

I think part of the fun of the deck is determining what risks to take to keep staying alive, so I feel that should carry over into endless

[cloud creek]

Mhm I'm not saying it'd be bad to just maintain hands and discards as-is even after beating ante 8

[sullen swift]

Here's the image

[foggy ermine]

You are a genius

[graceful lava]

That's cool

I'm assuming it says "Joker" in binary

Nice

[merry steeple]

Destiny Texture Pack man returns again! For the Tarot Cards, Im theming them after an in universe Tarot equivalent called the "Deck of Whispers". While I will have to create some brand new ones since the original deck only has like 12 cards, I'm starting with the existing ones.

This one is replacing the Hanged Man!

Based on this card

[sullen swift]

oh that looks so good

[merry steeple]

Ok good, I wasnt sure and this was the first of the set I made lol

Looks pretty good in game I think

[limber pagoda]

might make a thread in modding for this but for now here's some jokers

[merry steeple]

Ooo recipt is fun

[limber pagoda]

the plan is 1 in 6 chance for shop items to be free but i don't know if the oa6 synergy would be ridiculous

[merry steeple]

Yeeeaaaah, 33% of all items being free is kinda nuts lol

Maybe like, % chance to be refunded money when you buy an item?

That way its after you buy?

[limber pagoda]

i mean there's definetely more ridiculous basegame synergies, photochad is crazy powerful for two commons lol

[merry steeple]

True

[paper hound]

I think you like ramen, although why didn't you use the coupon?

[graceful lava]

I like that Beatles reference

Is that a Pink Floyd one too?

[limber pagoda]

you bet it is

[graceful lava]

Nice

he really is another brick in the wall

Wait so what does the coupon do

[limber pagoda]

oh mb coupon is 1 in 6 free shop item, reciept is +7 chips for each card sold

[graceful lava]

The design doesn't really make that clear tbh

I would assume it makes jokers cheaper or something

Maybe if you added the part of the coupon that's ripped off and make it say "1/6 Free!" or something that could make help

Make it separated from it kinda like the hanging chad has the hanging O

[paper hound]

I mean, you don't need the joker effect in the sprite 💔

[graceful lava]

Well yeah but it's a different scenario when your joker shows a completely different effect on the design

Two of them actually

Well the ramen can be excused probably but

[limber pagoda]

well the wheel of misfortune card doesn't actually have anything to do with the tarot, it just shares the 1 in 4 probability

[graceful lava]

Well that makes more sense to me at least

Wait I have an idea

[limber pagoda]

lol ok i think i'm gonna create a thread in modding so i don't clog this channel hold on

[snow harbor]

smh bright area not shaped like a joker silhouette

[graceful lava]

Actually wait I just realized something

[snow harbor]

(real talk, nice stuff)

[graceful lava]

The 16% off is supposed to be a reference to 1/6 chance of being free huh

[heady tartan]

oh, this is badass.

really going hard on the "tainted characters" angle, i love it.

[graceful lava]

Or sorry 1 in 6 of the things being free

[sullen swift]

The bright area is to make it a bit easier to read the joker text
btw gonna go do something

[graceful lava]

Can you ping me from there or something

[limber pagoda]

alright

[graceful lava]

Did it work or-

Should I just ask for the name of the thread and I can search it

I honestly don't even know if pinging someone who isn't in a thread works

[sullen swift]

Alright, did a bit of shadin' stuff

[snow harbor]

niiiiice

[lavish carbon]

does the binary say joker?

[sullen swift]

yep

[lavish carbon]

cool

[dark crescent]

island joker wip

like the way the sand fades out but not too sure about how to start detailing the green foliage sections..

different dither pattern? do little trees somehow?

any ideas?

[graceful lava]

That looks even better

[snow harbor]

blobs of slightly darker green?

[graceful lava]

That's a cool idea

You could also call it "Joker Island"

I'd also like to suggest maybe making the joker look a bit more like a map

[uncut chasm]

red town

[graceful lava]

Or you could even make it look something like a travel booklet

Pamphlet that's what I meant

[dark crescent]

All good ideas! I like the map idea

Makes me want to make a compass rose

[graceful lava]

You should definitely add some more shininess to the water

Just to make it look a bit less flat

Plus that would make the grey joker text stand out a bit more

[pulsar vigil]

Grief that is broken

[snow harbor]

the thing is it aint found in the shop, only via a different joker that transforms into it on average in two antes

[sullen swift]

what can I improve for a suited joker

[eager topaz]

blank joker?

[snow harbor]

ye

[uncut chasm]

i think making the button parts look a little more defined could help

it kinda blends together for me

[snow harbor]

no way you can sneak a pocket with a playing card onto his sprite is there?

fuckin beautiful

also nice almost straight flush there

[sullen swift]

Buttons and Card

[snow harbor]

niiiice

he gonna get a hat/hair or nah?

a special kind of irony seeing this guy on testing the antimatter joker

[sullen swift]

I'm contemplating on giving him the Reigen Arataka or the Patrick Bateman

[snow harbor]

sounds good to me

[pulsar vigil]

Bald joker is so cursed

[graceful lava]

It does look a bit cursed

It also doesn't help that whatever is inside of their head looks bigger than their head lol

[sullen swift]

Is this a good start

[snow harbor]

final pic of this

this aint right

[snow harbor]

niice

[granite fable]

That spade suit texture’s looking a little…

[snow harbor]

yeah and

[sullen swift]

oh that looks real nice

[granite fable]

😳

[mellow gazelle]

Thank you

I tried to go simple on the shading

Very unlike my other works

[graceful lava]

Are they supposed to be like a business person or

[sullen swift]

yep

[graceful lava]

Call it "Funny Business"

[sullen swift]

accidentally made him look like hack's more successful brother

[sullen swift]

yes

I was gonna go with "boring joker" but I can't not use funny buisness

[graceful lava]

I think the hair style should be made to look a bit more... Professional looking

Like it should look a bit more combed and gelled

Like he's about to hit up a meeting

[sullen swift]

Was trying to go for a patrick bateman

[graceful lava]

You kinda ended up with Ice Spice

Immediately the hair should be a lot less round

[mellow gazelle]

Make it like sharp around the edge

[graceful lava]

Think of the hair being in a bit more of a square shape

But not too sharp

[pine panther]

guys i got an idea for a joker

[graceful lava]

Go on

[pine panther]

DisTopia(legendary): everysingle time you discard you get +3 to 5 mult

might be overpowered

how about restarts after you beat the boss

[graceful lava]

How do you gain mult from discarding

[pine panther]

it's the ability?

[graceful lava]

Right but discarding happens before scoring

Do you mean it gains it in the same way that uh...

Fuck why can't I think of an example

Like ride the bus does

or red card

[pine panther]

it's like green joker

like when you discard you get -1 mult

but it's +3-5 mult

if you have cards that gives you more discards it could be powerful

[sullen swift]

Like this?
I remembered lord buisness existed and he's perfect

[pine panther]

Robert (legendary) +15 mult when skipped a uncommon-rare joker (restarted when picked one)

EXTREMELY OVERPOWERED

lol

[sullen swift]

Pretty good joker
Feels more like a rare, but like a very powerful rare (blueprint level)

[pine panther]

could you make a joker for that?

i could if you don't want to

[sullen swift]

I do feel like the randomness is a bit unnecessary, just +4 mult gained per discard is good

[sullen swift]

Do you have an inspiration for it?

[pine panther]

maybe like a robber because he takes the discarded cards?

idk

[sullen swift]

Maybe something like "Dumpster" because discards are associated with waste? (Wasteful and Recyclomancy)

or maybe "dumpster diver" to combine both ideas

[pine panther]

how about a joker with a peeled banana on his head

because all legendary jokers are all actual jokers (no objects and stuff)

[sullen swift]

Oh you're requesting a legendary joker

I'm not sure if my art skills are on that level

[pine panther]

we could make it a rare

how about at joker inside of a dumpster

[sullen swift]

Yeah that sounds better

[pine panther]

is that fine?

[sullen swift]

yes sir

but probably not tonight

maybe on the weekend

[pine panther]

yeah

dm me or put it on here when ur done

i could make a skecth for you to follow

[sullen swift]

Aight, I will

Also while you're here, is this a good hair for a buisness joker?

[pine panther]

yeah!

makes him look goofy

[pine panther]

business* btw

[errant prairie]

maybe some shading would help?

[rocky sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-bateman-gif-26282297

[sullen swift]

Nah I based it off Lord Buisness

[rocky sorrel]

thats WAY funnier

[sullen swift]

why is it so hard to shade hair

[grave condor]

Joseph J. Joker looking clean

[rocky sorrel]

hair is just hard

[rocky sorrel]

semi related but i like how you did the suit way more than my guy

[drifting lodge]

I can already see it.

+10 Mult if between 0 and 100$
*10 Mult if between 100 and 500$

[sullen swift]

THE HAIR IS SHADED

he may look more like michael cera but I'll take what I can get

[drifting lodge]

@sullen swift and the effect?

[sullen swift]

Honestly I'm not sure

but thanks to Mac the Catogen I know the name

"Funny Buisness"

[drifting lodge]

Now we need a Joker version of this

Already got the effect:

• If you have a Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome Joker, apply those effects to playing cards instead.

[snow harbor]

as a quick tip, i think theres something to making the outline for the hair not grey, instead using a darker shade of the color used for the hair

and if you're trying to mimic lord business try adding that higher middle part maybe

idunno

[snow harbor]

that also works pretty dang good

[sullen swift]

Like this?

[snow harbor]

yeeeee

thats lookin good

man is ready to get one buck on average per each face card trigger

[sullen swift]

I'm also trying to make it a slightly more sensible haircut aka one that a real businessman could have

[snow harbor]

ye

[sullen swift]

also double life joker
this one's just for fun

[stable sinew]

what if you did a catboy joker

[sullen swift]

does this work

[stable sinew]

thats so real

[plain rune]

Hummm, idk, it's hard to guess 🐧

[stable sinew]

but what if you made him even more catboy

[graceful lava]

I feel like this would look a bit better if there was... Here I'll show you what I'm trying to imagine

[plain rune]

Look so cute

[graceful lava]

Something like this

[stable sinew]

kronk in a suit, the joker

[graceful lava]

Because idk there's just something very flat and "unbusiness like" about the hair style

[plain rune]

But the smile is real ngl...

[graceful lava]

What?

[plain rune]

I just imagined it...

[graceful lava]

What are you talking about

I'm talking about the business joker not the cat smiley one

Also I like the colon above the Es thats a fun detail

[plain rune]

Nvm, I just compered the smile with someone I saw in the past, that's all

[sullen swift]

I'm sorry, but I spent too much time on the hair to scrap it
sunk cost fallacy has kicked in

also you can't wear clown makeup to work
litterally 1984

[cloud creek]

Good change

[graceful lava]

I think the hard thing is trying to convey a professional hair style from the front angle

It's definitely much easier if you try going for it from the side

That's not necessarily your fault either

It's just a perspective thing that's annoying

[sullen swift]

Made the smile a bit more forced
That's what teeth do to you

[graceful lava]

You could give him some óuò eyebrows if you wanted

[sullen swift]

the buisness or the :3

[graceful lava]

Business

:3 is fine the way it is

I won't be talking about it

[dark crescent]

miscut joker?

this has tohave been done before

[graceful lava]

It would definitely make sense from a design perspective if the card had a bit more of a "cut" looking edge

[dark crescent]

this is !!! so good

[rocky sorrel]

misprint

[dark crescent]

is that what i meant?

haha

[graceful lava]

I actually kinda think this one looks a bit better

[rocky sorrel]

no like

this guy

[sullen swift]

Like this?

[graceful lava]

Yeah but the difference is that Misprint is a complete card despite the weird design

Yours is a card cut the weird way and then trying to put them next to each other

[dark crescent]

this was my inspo

[rocky sorrel]

that is a misprint

[dark crescent]

but maybe the even split is too organized

[graceful lava]

Exactly lol

[cloud creek]

It's not really distinct enough from a misprint yeah

[graceful lava]

That is still a misprint

[dark crescent]

aa! thank you

[plain rune]

Cards usually cut in a almost perfect straight line in factory... So I think it's fine

[dark crescent]

not me forgetting about misprint..

[graceful lava]

I have an idea

[dark crescent]

[graceful lava]

For how you could improve it

What if instead of it being like a misprint

It was like a card ripped vertically in half

And then the two halves are put facing from each other

So same idea, it's just ripped

[rocky sorrel]

vertical half joker

[dark crescent]

hahahahaha

[graceful lava]

Well no it's not a half joker

Both halves are still there

[dark crescent]

joke the ripper ;3;

[graceful lava]

Imagine a normal joker right?
You rip it in half and then swap the halves. That's what it looks like

[plain rune]

It's half half joker

[graceful lava]

It's like a... Inverted joker

Or a swapped joker idk

[graceful lava]

Yeah that's good

[graceful lava]

In fact him having a bad looking hair style kinda fits now that I think about it. Now that he has a "hehe everything is fine" look the shitty hair style kinda fits because that adds a hint of unprofessionalism

So that kinda improves the bad looking hair style actually

It gives you a sense that this is his first day on the job and is struggling to make a good first impression

[sullen swift]

Honestly I thought of him looking like a human spongebob and I can't unsee it

[graceful lava]

I don't see it but

Okay

I'll give you the first and tie

[sullen swift]

It's the square "hair" and suit

[graceful lava]

Yeah I suppose

[sullen swift]

and that look of just the most annoying coworker

[graceful lava]

The hair style does add to his annoying looking nature actually

Like Dwight Schrute

https://tenor.com/view/screaming-yelling-the-office-dwight-rainn-wilson-gif-17595466

Huh, his hair style isn't as bad as I thought

[lavish carbon]

Giganotosaurus: -1 Hand per round, +2 Discards per round

[graceful lava]

Are these for a line of dinosaur consumables or

[sullen swift]

oh that looks gorgeous

[lavish carbon]

Fossil cards

[lavish carbon]

Thanks!

[graceful lava]

Ah nice

Yeah that looks pretty cool

[lavish carbon]

few more

[graceful lava]

The sprite work makes it a little hard to make out the shape tbh but that's kinda just a pixel art issue

[rocky sorrel]

kinda wanted to do something with folding the corner of a card to cheat but i cant think of anything that isnt just jimbo with 12 pixles changed

[graceful lava]

You could add a slight crease to the card

Idk if that's what people do when marking cards or not though

[mint raft]

Make him wink at you

[graceful lava]

Another thing to note is that cards will also have little barley noticable details

These are usually on the back, but I think for this ones sake you could logically have it on the front

What if you swapped the colors of his little jester balls on his collar thing

[rocky sorrel]

fuckin markedcardsforsale dot com

[lavish carbon]

lol

[graceful lava]

Yeah maybe don't go to that website idk lol

[lavish carbon]

freevirus dot com

[graceful lava]

definitelynotavirus .com

[graceful lava]

https://tenor.com/view/red-sea-redsea-moses-gif-9839978

[cloud creek]

Marked cards sounds like an enhancement

[graceful lava]

The marked joker should have an ability related to cards that are face down

[cloud creek]

That doesn't happen enough

[graceful lava]

Like maybe you can tap on face down cards and it'll tell you what it is still

[graceful lava]

Wdym face cards can be faced down

Like during boss blinds and stuff

[rocky sorrel]

and thats pretty much it

like 2 or 3 boss blinds

[graceful lava]

Oh

I think a marked joker is a good idea... Maybe what you could do is swap the colors on his little jingle things on his collar

Because marked cards seem to do subtle shit like that you'd have to really squint in order to notice

[graceful lava]

I also like this idea too

[rocky sorrel]

might just make another rene magritte inspired joker

pro tip you can have your layesr set on the right if you dont use frames at all

less space

[merry steeple]

Round 2 of the Destiny Tarots: Ascension, replaces The Star as a suit change card for the Solar suit

Made to match it's in-game counterpart

[pine panther]

wait what is that drawing app

[rocky sorrel]

aseprite

[soft spoke]

That looks like Aseprite but dark mode

[rocky sorrel]

yeap

[rocky sorrel]

cleannn

[merry steeple]

Yeeeeaaaaaah dude. This project is getting me to actually try and get gud at spritework after my many teeny tiny projects over the years

[rocky sorrel]

eughhhh getting lazy

[rocky sorrel]

honestly same

i like the restraints of blatro artstyle

keeps me grounded

[snow harbor]

yooo toystory wallpaper joker

[rocky sorrel]

wanted to do something like this but im feeling lazy

[broken cloud]

honestly this doesn't come off as lazy, i think it fits into balatro pretty well stylistically

i mean golden joker is just gold jimbo

[cerulean ibex]

these are fucking cool. is there a theme with what species are planned or is it just kinda which ones you think are neat

[merry steeple]

Alright this one was much quicker, the replacement for the Heirophant: The Adherent

With original

[plain rune]

What do you think about the sword. I'm drawing the sword of Arthur

I'll draw the stone later

[rocky sorrel]

not trying to be humble i just wanted to do a low effort joker

[merry steeple]

Ok, this one I dont think I adapted quite as well, but I did as well as I think I can. This one's replacing the WoF: The Lie

[lavish carbon]

thanks, just ones I like atm

[plain rune]

(Sent wrong one)
Just thinking about its ability. Something interacts with Kings

[neat fractal]

Hey guys! I tried pixel art for the first time and made myself and my car passenger as jokers!😁

Plus i made my own custom card-back:

[pine panther]

everysingle time you discard a king you get +2 mult everysingle time you use one you get -1 mult

[rocky sorrel]

i cant for the lfe of me understand what this says

JRKHRR AOTEU

JAROKTHERUR

[eager topaz]

it seems to be a zig-zag pattern

JA
RO
KT
HE
RU
R

bold letters spell joker non-bold spells arthur

[rocky sorrel]

oh thats

horrid

[granite fable]

Don’t panic, but I think your passenger might be dead

[reef fable]

Hello!

is there anyone willing to help me make fan-art?

like what things do I need to do first

or provide useful tips

[rocky sorrel]

i guess getting gold pixel art software would be first

i like aseprite but theres others

[neat fractal]

I mean he looks a little pale but I think he’s fine

[eager topaz]

i personally use paint.net

[rocky sorrel]

i use paint.net for cover art but i never tried it for pixel art

cause i already have aseprite for dat

[grave condor]

I've been traumatized by my latest gig can someone make an excel joker (Just throwing the idea since I've been staring st this spreadsheet for days)

[tall dome]

I can hear it in his voice, this is wild.
Now do one based on his gun explanation vids.

Plinko...dam now we need an incorrect name sheet for all of them.

[nocturne cosmos]

Ask your friend about the other ones

[sullen swift]

Chica and Caramel gotta be in there

[astral coral]

Converts all Jacks into Kings when scored

or, since the sword in the stone is all about being able to pull it out

has a 1/6 chance to convert any card into a King of the same suit

[severe veldt]

Pick one for me to do:

• Ouroborus
• Elemental Master
• Chance Card

[rocky sorrel]

ororbororoboro

snek

[severe veldt]

Ouroborus it is

[wraith plank]

cw for spooky horror painting
work in progress, im a horror painter so im trying to make madness look as upsetting as possible ✨

[severe veldt]

Ouroborus

• Straights can now be made with both ends (3, 2, A, K, Q)

[final hatch]

Btw whats the px dimensions for joker cards?

[severe veldt]

normally its 71 x 95 with the cards themselves being just smaller than that

I can offer you the correctly sized joker card as an image if u like

[final hatch]

Oh id appreciate that

[pulsar vigil]

Joker

[lavish carbon]

I have had this idea, the only problem is, it's impossible to code

[severe veldt]

doesnt seem that hard to me if cards like shortcut and four fingers are possible

[lavish carbon]

No, those are hardcoded. Additionally SMODs seems to have a problem with the Straight algorithm currently so maybe next big release will make it easier

but currently it can't be done

[severe veldt]

odd

(good thing I dont code)

[final hatch]

Thanks a lot

[severe veldt]

ay no problem lad

[rocky sorrel]

also watch out for the white border inside the gray card outline

most jokers have them

[severe veldt]

tease

[final hatch]

Aight thanks
Btw is there a color limit in the pallette?

[rocky sorrel]

uhhhhh

[severe veldt]

not really

but

[rocky sorrel]

try to copy colors from the sprites to start

good practice

[severe veldt]

yeah that

[rocky sorrel]

i still do it

[severe veldt]

here

another thing is that the darkest black used on these is the same black used on the 'Joker' text in the default card

low saturation yano

[rocky sorrel]

all simplified but just

the nuance doesnt matter when you're starting out

when you get more comfortable then you should try to pick up the complicated stuff

[severe veldt]

Elemental Master

• x3 Mult if the suits in the full deck are perfectly balanced

[graceful lava]

Oooh I like that a lot

Is the design based on anything in particular?

[severe veldt]

other than ninjas and elements not really

[graceful lava]

I love the idea of turning the club into flowers

[severe veldt]

ik theres a ninjago call to be made but I went with plants instead of lightning anyway

[graceful lava]

This works very well

[severe veldt]

Diamonds and Clubs were the easiest to sort as they kind of look already like the elements they represent

[graceful lava]

Now what does it do though

[severe veldt]

stats are above da card

[graceful lava]

Oh right oops

Huh, interesting

[final hatch]

Oh thanks a lot

[graceful lava]

That's actually very interesting because you'd thinking keeping your deck balanced is easy but it's really not lol

But then again it's not like it's impossible either

[severe veldt]

u have to dedicate a lot lol

partially why I went with the ninja motif

[graceful lava]

I think ultimately it would be worth it though

It would suck to find this while setting up a completely different deck though lol

Because usually the main goal in Balatro, atleast in my experience, is to make all your cards as similar as possible

[severe veldt]

thats what ive seen yeah

[graceful lava]

So this gives a new take on changing that approach

Question

What about wild cards

[severe veldt]

Wild cards count as no suit

[graceful lava]

Really?

[severe veldt]

well what suit is a wild card

answer me that lol

[graceful lava]

All of them?

[rocky sorrel]

allofem

counts as having each suit

[graceful lava]

Exactly

[cloud creek]

It's +1 to each so they all cancel out

[severe veldt]

Would that be perfectly balanced tho

[cloud creek]

Therefore it does nothing

[severe veldt]

imagine u turned a heart into a wild

[rocky sorrel]

practically yeah

[graceful lava]

Exactly

[severe veldt]

thats each other suit getting an extra point with the heart staying at what it was before

[rocky sorrel]

well you cant have double heart suit so

yeah

[graceful lava]

So naturally wild cards would be an easy way to get around the "balancing suits"

[rocky sorrel]

eh i mean

[severe veldt]

if u did all wilds sure

[graceful lava]

Which I think is good actually

[severe veldt]

but thats not easy to do lol

[graceful lava]

Maybe not ALL wilds

[rocky sorrel]

you still have to run wild cards which

[graceful lava]

But mostly you'd probably want wilds

[rocky sorrel]

-# ugh...

[severe veldt]

for the elemental master effects to activate all suits need to be balanced lol

[graceful lava]

You wouldn't necessarily NEED wild cards

[cloud creek]

If you have one suit that is higher than the other three then wilds will taper it down without actually needing you to destroy cards or swap suits precisely

[severe veldt]

if even one suit has an extra card it dont work

[graceful lava]

You can always just work with stuff like tarot cards to change suits

[severe veldt]

yes

[cloud creek]

But if you have one suit that is lower than all 3 other suits then wilds won't help much

[graceful lava]

Question

[severe veldt]

answer

[graceful lava]

How would this joker work on checkered deck

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but if you have 10 10 8 12 and you change it to 10 8 10 12 it still doesnt work

[severe veldt]

good question

uh

it doesnt

lol!

[cloud creek]

Poorly

Simple as

[graceful lava]

Fair enough

[rocky sorrel]

ancient joker doenst work there so

same thing

[graceful lava]

True true

[rocky sorrel]

sometimes jokers dont work

[cloud creek]

Smeared joker same seal, doesn't do shit on checkered

[graceful lava]

I only ask just to make sure it's thought about

[rocky sorrel]

sucks to suck ig

[severe veldt]

one more joker card before the rares are done

[graceful lava]

Overall I think this is a cool idea for an ability

[severe veldt]

kind of

[rocky sorrel]

erm actually

[graceful lava]

And even if it wasn't a good ability, the artwork is awesome

[severe veldt]

thank u lol

I am rapidly improving

[graceful lava]

Probably my favorite design of yours so far

[rocky sorrel]

could not be me

[cloud creek]

The only joker I know of that actually has coded deck consideration is Abandoned Deck + Erosion

[severe veldt]

ima concentrate on my chance card now so I may dip

[rocky sorrel]

Making art has not improved my drawing; infact i have gotten Worse

[graceful lava]

Question, is this one compatible with brainstorm/blueprint

[rocky sorrel]

i mean

why wouldnt it be

[graceful lava]

Idk just something to consider

[rocky sorrel]

its just a 3xmult

[graceful lava]

True

Trying to think of what other jokers would specifically be a good mix for this...

[rocky sorrel]

the incompatible jokers are mostly just econ and gimicky ones

[graceful lava]

Hey wait that brings up a good point from earlier

How does elementalist work with smeared joker

[rocky sorrel]

idk what smeared does for the full deck

cant remember

[cloud creek]

You just gotta balance darks and lights clearly

[severe veldt]

think of it like this

[cloud creek]

Since darks are self balancing and lights are self balancing

[graceful lava]

It makes all hearts count as diamonds and all clubs count as spades

But it doesn't like literally change any of the suits

[severe veldt]

Smeared effectively makes the suits into two

Elemental only tracks how the four are balanced among eachother

doesnt care if two are considered the same as that would only effect jokers that need specific suits

like seeing double for example

[rocky sorrel]

i dont even know if smeared jawn does shit to the full deck

[graceful lava]

Wait wait wait
Important thing
Is the ability based on balance of all suits in your FULL deck or your CURRENT deck

[rocky sorrel]

full deck i hopr

[severe veldt]

Full deck

[graceful lava]

Ok good

Just making sure

[rocky sorrel]

seems impossible otherwise

yeah

[severe veldt]

if it was current it would only work on the first hand and never again

[graceful lava]

True lol

[rocky sorrel]

prolly not even first hand

draw 3 hearts and its just useless

[graceful lava]

Cards that destroy cards would definitely be a major kryptonite of elementalist

[rocky sorrel]

more like deckfixing

[graceful lava]

But then again you could also reasonably destroy four cards of varrying suits

[graceful lava]

I wouldn't say that

Deck fixing can still be performed

You just have to do it very strategically

[rocky sorrel]

needy ass joker

honestly lmfao

[graceful lava]

Either way it's very interesting whether it's good or not tbh

[rocky sorrel]

eh

[cloud creek]

It could work on full deck if it was gradual scaling

[graceful lava]

I could imagine a cool challenge involving it

[rocky sorrel]

i wouldnt take it

prolly ever

[cloud creek]

Like if it took the difference between your largest suit and your smallest suit and subtracted that from the bonus

[graceful lava]

I just like it because it introduces a new style of strategy to aim for

[rocky sorrel]

really demandig for not that much

[cloud creek]

It's just not actually controllable

You don't control what stays in your deck

[graceful lava]

Sure it is

[graceful lava]

How so?

[cloud creek]

Because what you draw is random

[rocky sorrel]

you cant pick up card packs, no changing colors with tarots,

[rocky sorrel]

no its full deck

[graceful lava]

No no it's based on your FULL deck

Not your current deck

[cloud creek]

I'm talking about if it was current deck

[graceful lava]

It's not like blue joker

[graceful lava]

That would suck

[rocky sorrel]

cant use death, or hangman, or trading card, or dna, or glass cards

[graceful lava]

Yeah it does kind of kill a significant amount of deck building

[rocky sorrel]

demanding asf joker

for 3x which is

even if it was 4x i wouldnt pick it up

[graceful lava]

I mean maybe it could be a good early game joker

[rocky sorrel]

its really mentally demanding

falls off hard when you want to deckfix

or use sun/moon/stars/world

[graceful lava]

I don't see why you can't use stuff like strength though

You can still enhance cards without changing the suits

In fact maybe double vision or whatever it's called could be a good combination

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but it still demands a lot of your attention

for minimal reward

[cloud creek]

X3 Mult
-X0.25 Mult for each card in your most common suit compared to your least common suit

[graceful lava]

What's it called seeing double?

The one with the club

[cloud creek]

Definitely a better way to word that

Yeah

[graceful lava]

That does sound a wee bit more interesting...

[rocky sorrel]

i made this guy for fun and i thought his effect could be 3.5xmult -0.5x per unique suit in full deck

[graceful lava]

And more controllable while still having it's concerning bits

[graceful lava]

Wdym unique suit

There's only 4

[rocky sorrel]

yeay

[cloud creek]

Silly guy but AGGRESSIVELY niche effect

[cloud creek]

Get less

[graceful lava]

OH I see

[rocky sorrel]

lategame deckfixing my beloved

[graceful lava]

That would be quite OP on checkered deck for sure lol

[rocky sorrel]

more of a sinergy

[graceful lava]

True

[cloud creek]

It's a bit of a freebie on checkered deck let's be real

[graceful lava]

It really puts the sin in synergy

[rocky sorrel]

could do some shit like erosion for suits

maybe idk

it took me longer to make the art than the effect

[graceful lava]

Either way I like the minimalistic joker

[rocky sorrel]

and the art took me 10 seconds

[rocky sorrel]

gotta love corporate minimalism

[cloud creek]

Could also do like

[graceful lava]

It comes off as very creepy but I like that

[cloud creek]

Xmult, -Xmult for each card in your deck that has a suit other than your most common suit

[graceful lava]

All the negative space honestly speaks louder than the tiny logo does

[cloud creek]

Still synergizes with stone

[graceful lava]

It's quite nice

[cloud creek]

Anti-synergy with wild because GET FUCKED WILD CARDS, STAY LOSING

[rocky sorrel]

riff raff face my beloved

[graceful lava]

I still do think a trademark symbol is in order

JOKER™

[rocky sorrel]

eh couldnt be bothered

[graceful lava]

Why? It's just a tiny TM lol

[rocky sorrel]

bore d

[graceful lava]

Like 6 pixels

[rocky sorrel]

wild cards derserve all the hate

ignore this guy though

[graceful lava]

What's wrong with wild cards

[rocky sorrel]

weak

[graceful lava]

Are they?

[rocky sorrel]

ye ah

2nd worst imo

[graceful lava]

Hmm ok fair enough

What's 1st worst? Stone?

[rocky sorrel]

yeah

[graceful lava]

Fair enough

[rocky sorrel]

its why i made a bunch of jokers for it

[graceful lava]

Wild and stone does honestly deserve some synergy

[severe veldt]

Ill prolly change the art for this at some point but it works for now as a concept

Chance Card

• After two rounds, sell to gain five random negative consumables
• (Rare)

[rocky sorrel]

construction joker : scored stone cards give 2$
sandpaper: played stone cards become foil

C joker was the first guy im realy proud of makikg

[graceful lava]

You totally could've made it look like a Monopoly card lol

[severe veldt]

i did try that

didnt look great

tried again

[rocky sorrel]

stealing that idea then 🚬

[graceful lava]

I kinda like that

It's not very Monopoly looking tbh but

It kinda gives off more Riddler vibes

[severe veldt]

thats what I was thinkin of changing it to

[rocky sorrel]

rizzle me this

[severe veldt]

a more riddler esc card

[graceful lava]

is there anything in particular you based it on?

[severe veldt]

Monopoly chance card

[graceful lava]

Like is this a reference to The Batman or something

Ah

[severe veldt]

that was the original idea anyway

ive done cards like it before but this recent one is just off to me idk why

[graceful lava]

You could've based on it more on one of these OG designs

Obviously replacing the Monopoly man with the joker

[rocky sorrel]

is the bottom text anything

[severe veldt]

no lol

random gibberish

[graceful lava]

I like the CAH one

What does the CAH one do?

[rocky sorrel]

cause when i sneaked in afunby in this no one noticed 💔

[severe veldt]

retriggers a random joker

[graceful lava]

That's cool but why for the CAH card

[severe veldt]

nothing is technically off limits though if it retriggers say 'oops all sixes' then obv nothings gonna happen

[rocky sorrel]

thats hell to code

[severe veldt]

often picking random cards in that game to make out of pocket combos

[rocky sorrel]

i saw rad code it real time

[graceful lava]

Fair point, nice

I like that

[rocky sorrel]

she kicked the ceiling due to stressdd

[severe veldt]

kicked the ceiling?

[rocky sorrel]

slipped on a banana perl

kicked ceiling

[severe veldt]

damn

[rocky sorrel]

yknow how it is

[graceful lava]

Obviously the most iconic one to base it off of would be the Free Get Out of Jail but I don't think that's a necessary one when Mr. Bones already exists

[severe veldt]

I want it to look enticing at the very least

like 'ooh free items' kind of thing

get ready for smth wacky

[graceful lava]

What if the Chance Card changed every round to a different ability

It can be bad or good

[rocky sorrel]

thats unbalatro like id say

[severe veldt]

well u dont really keep chance cards in monopoly

[graceful lava]

You wouldn't have to change the design for each ability, that would be asking for too much

[graceful lava]

Okay two things

One. Free Get Out of Jail Cafd

[rocky sorrel]

cause you gotta either have the player be blind to what the card can do or overwhelm the player with all the things it can do

both of which arent good

[graceful lava]

Two. Do you usually keep red cards in soccer?

[rocky sorrel]

ref does

[severe veldt]

aye

(scott is correct)

[graceful lava]

Hmm

Well gee idk are Jokers usually in poker?

[severe veldt]

oh well ill come up with something

[rocky sorrel]

yeah

[severe veldt]

if not a chance card ill come up with smth that fits the effect

[graceful lava]

You can ignore logic and keep the chance card lol

Who cares they have a credit card for crying out loud

[severe veldt]

I mean more design wise

im struggling to make a design that feels right

so I may switch it

[rocky sorrel]

swirls

[severe veldt]

Swirls are good

not much good at making them but I can try

[graceful lava]

What about a question mark with a swirl in it

[severe veldt]

maybe?

hm

[graceful lava]

Or...

[rocky sorrel]

collectionist joker editions held in hand trigger

finally a reason for poly sterl king

[graceful lava]

I would like to see a Monopoly card in Balatro at some point, I came up with one based on the property cards

Blue Property
+$10 after defeating a boss blind

[severe veldt]

I will try this

[graceful lava]

Sweet!

[severe veldt]

after this attempt tho i may share more concepts ive come up with for balancing if ur down

[graceful lava]

Sure

[rocky sorrel]

i wanna do a coup card someday

[graceful lava]

Coup card?

[rocky sorrel]

coup

[graceful lava]

Is that an idiom or something

[rocky sorrel]

the card game

[graceful lava]

Oh

There should be a Calling Card too

[rocky sorrel]

maybe the contessa or the fuckn

[drifting lodge]

@graceful lava Had an idea for a card, but I wonder how'd it look on a card.

The effect:

• If you have a Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome Joker, apply those effects to playing cards instead.

[graceful lava]

Hmm...

[rocky sorrel]

seems hard to frame

[graceful lava]

Wait so explain the ability some more

Let's say I have a polychrome joker and I play a straight with no enhanced cards

What happens

[drifting lodge]

You know those times where playing cards can get Foil, Poly, or Holo?

[graceful lava]

Yeah?

Wait you mean like in packs or what

[drifting lodge]

Now, instead of having a Poly Banana and a Foil Blueprint, your scoring hand is full of Poly and Foils

[rocky sorrel]

ah

[graceful lava]

Ok first of all

OP as hell lmao

[rocky sorrel]

seems like

sbsurdly powerfum

yeah

[drifting lodge]

It's a legendary for a reason

[graceful lava]

Hmm okay

[rocky sorrel]

oh

[graceful lava]

Ok so the design for it then...

When I think of the ability immediately I think of like a teacher joker

Like a teacher passing down their skills to those who need to learn them more or something

[graceful lava]

Ay nice

Very accurate looking

[severe veldt]

that makes three rare jokers themed after board games

[rocky sorrel]

i feel like the linework could use work, no offense

[graceful lava]

Like I imagine the design being a sensei or something, idk if depicting a sensei joker would be insensitive or something but

[rocky sorrel]

dot looks a bit stiff

[severe veldt]

a little yeah

[drifting lodge]

It's based off that one meme scene in Akakichi No Eleven

[graceful lava]

Oh

I thought you were like expecting me to give it a design since I talk about designs so much or something lmao

[rocky sorrel]

thats just a teacher?

[severe veldt]

that is a man with a very large chin

[graceful lava]

Well yeah but idk if there's like stereotypes you have to avoid when designing senseis

[rocky sorrel]

large chinned man

[rocky sorrel]

dont want the japanese teacher gang after you

[drifting lodge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzDv4Dsrx0k&pp=ygUgYWtha2ljaGkgbm8gZWxldmVuIG1lbWUgb3JpZ2luYWw%3D

[graceful lava]

I'm just saying a game like Balatro would need to avoid that kinda thing thats all lmao

[severe veldt]

got three sets of these this time
heres set one

[graceful lava]

So that Easter one can have a maximum of...

There's 150 jokers right

[rocky sorrel]

25C+ scaling on a suit triggef common is insane

[drifting lodge]

It's a meme for a reason

[rocky sorrel]

you're not buying all 150 jokers in a run

[graceful lava]

I know but I'm just trying to calculate the absolute maximum power it could have

[rocky sorrel]

runner is 15chips per hand

sobbing

[graceful lava]

150 x 3 would be...

[severe veldt]

could be lower if its that bad

chips anyway

[graceful lava]

Man why am I struggling at simple math lmao

[drifting lodge]

Ah yes. The card that has Modded Jokers making this card MORE BUSTED

[graceful lava]

450 mult?

Yeah that's it

[compact finch]

easter eggs should be uncommon otherwise its probably fine lol

[rocky sorrel]

450 mult

[compact finch]

compare it to flash card and red card

[severe veldt]

assuming you find all 150 jokers in a single run

[compact finch]

it actually scales alright

[drifting lodge]

150 x 3 = 450

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but +3 is a little much

[graceful lava]

And that's not even including the ones you're adding

[rocky sorrel]

thats more than anythijg

[compact finch]

+3 is red card scaling

[drifting lodge]

280 x 3 = 840

[rocky sorrel]

plus its rewarding for stuf that you're already doing

[compact finch]

you'll probably get like +40 to +60 at the end of a run

[rocky sorrel]

red card has a cost

[compact finch]

yeah so is flash card hallucination

[drifting lodge]

As a PLUS MULT

[severe veldt]

so does easter eggs lol

[rocky sorrel]

those scale slower

WAY way slower i think

[graceful lava]

Anyways the travelling merchant sounds cool

[compact finch]

+2 is fine then

[severe veldt]

as in most interactions its likely a 'buy then immediately sell' jokers

+2 is better if u want that

tis why i post these lol for balancing

[graceful lava]

Adds some value to temperance

Or sorry judgement that's what I meant

[rocky sorrel]

imma shower cyall

[compact finch]

i think +2 is good cause flash card is more expensive

[severe veldt]

2 it is then

uncommons are next

[compact finch]

and the cost to this is that you can only ever have so many jokers and you won't want to sell them

good fx otherwise

[graceful lava]

When you say art of a shopping mall do you mean like the shot of the outside of a store called JOKER MART or something

[severe veldt]

like an interior shot or smth

[graceful lava]

Ah ok

[severe veldt]

kind of iffy but i kept it vague for design sake

whatever u imagine is prolly what I mean lol

[graceful lava]

I imagine it would be like a perspective shot from aisles on the sides

[severe veldt]

are the effects okay

[graceful lava]

Sounds like you're trying to cause a lot of purchase synergy

I like that

This one would pair pretty well with the Easter egg

The prospector sounds neat as well

Anything to make stone cards more useful

Though honestly I think it'd be better if it turned stone cards into gold cards

[severe veldt]

That was what it was originally

gold and steel

[graceful lava]

Plus that'd be a more direct reference to the California gold rush

[severe veldt]

but figured that wasn't worth since we already had midas mask

[graceful lava]

Yeah but Midas Mask is only face cards

[severe veldt]

still

[graceful lava]

Being able to turn useless stone cards into gold cards would be amazing

[severe veldt]

would that fit uncommon

[graceful lava]

I'm not sure

Probably not if I had to assume

Sounds more common

Or wait

[compact finch]

the effect is unique enough that it doesn't sound like a common at all

[graceful lava]

No wait I'm sorry yeah probably uncommon

[compact finch]

compare it to rough gem

[graceful lava]

Idk why I thought uncommon meant less rare lol

[severe veldt]

neat

rares are last up

[graceful lava]

I just thought of an idea

I got an idea for a food joker

[severe veldt]

whats up

[graceful lava]

Steak Filet
Next shop has a guaranteed rare joker, immediately removes this joker

It doesn't make it free though

[severe veldt]

isnt that just the rare skip tag but less

[graceful lava]

Well... Ok fine how about after three turns then

[severe veldt]

if it were uncommon perhaps

[compact finch]

damn it's a rare joker that costs slightly more lol

[graceful lava]

Well to be fair it is a pretty expensive steak

The steaks are high

[severe veldt]

try workshopping it lol

[graceful lava]

Fair enough

[severe veldt]

heres these

[graceful lava]

I just thought of rare and was like "wait a minute... Steaks are rare..."

[graceful lava]

For the first one am I supposed to be imagining like a Drag Queen style joker or

[severe veldt]

possibly idk

[eager topaz]

i hate hands

[compact finch]

damn LOL

is this a resprite or something new

[graceful lava]

👅

[eager topaz]

resprite

[compact finch]

looks like resprite

cooool

[severe veldt]

looks very nice

[graceful lava]

I'm sorry what is the theme of this

[eager topaz]

just removing jimbo

[severe veldt]

"Who's Jimbo?"

[graceful lava]

No I mean like what's with the hand and the lips and the brass knuckles

[severe veldt]

thats the like

sin part

[compact finch]

greedy/lusty/wrathful/gluttonous

[eager topaz]

its the sin jokers

[severe veldt]

yea

[tiny kelp]

legendary

[graceful lava]

OH I see now

[severe veldt]

I got that right away lol

[graceful lava]

That makes sense now

That's cool

Good luck with whatever the specific hand jokers are called in terms of removing the Jimbo style jokers from them though lol

[eager topaz]

egg is gonna be so easy

[graceful lava]

Is there a term for the Droll joker and Crazy joker jokers

Jolly joker and such

Cause that would be nice

[severe veldt]

Droll

Crazy

Jolly

etc

[graceful lava]

Yeah but like is there a family term for them

Come on community I can't rely on you for anything! /j

[severe veldt]

adjectives

[graceful lava]

I guess that works

[nocturne cosmos]

Personality Jokers?

[compact finch]

ik cryptid mod calls them the type mult and type chips jokers

lmfao

[vast musk]

Oh there was a guy that was making a textless resprite looked pretty cool

For some reason respriters always start with the sin jokers lmao

[tiny kelp]

yeah cuz theyre the first ones

literally 2-5 in the joker list

[vast musk]

If its a legendary shoulnt it be based on a specific person or character

[nocturne cosmos]

They are named, so at least that specific

[nocturne cosmos]

Can cards essentially have multiple editions this way?

Or is it split evenly

[graceful lava]

That's a good point

That makes it harder though cause honestly I wouldn't even know where to start

[vast musk]

you could also base it off that Mario cereal that was around for a little while
