Nah no eyebrows, he barely even looks like a joker!

Just random words?
its for sample text

it reminds me of that one fairy oddparents movie about the guy that wanted to be a clown but was forced into the corporate

theres just something extremely good about that
powerful if you will
but thats merely my vision in business joker from fan-art channel balatro

This is cool, only issue might be that the red kinda comes off like blood
tired blade
though balatro kinds doesnt really use black
hollow anvil
i didn't think about that
sullen swift
What style are you going for?
corporate memphis
graceful lava
i didn't think about that
You could easily change it to more of a darkish green
hollow anvil
though balatro kinds doesnt really use black
yeah but stained glass always does, i thought it'd look cool
tired blade
it indeed does
hollow anvil
You could easily change it to more of a darkish green
definitely considering it
tired blade
it’d just look out of place in balatro is all :3
graceful lava
yeah but stained glass always does, i thought it'd look cool
I mean it looks cool but it still breaks the rule
rocky sorrel
da dark gray rule
thin turtle

ive currently got OFF, Yume Nikki and I Wanna Be The Guy in the waitlist atm

which do yall prefer
graceful lava
That would make it more obvious that it's that style for sure
graceful lava
which do yall prefer
The first one is preferable
tired blade
which do yall prefer
left is more balatro
rocky sorrel
which do yall prefer
left
hollow anvil
left it is then, by unanimous decision
graceful lava
Actually
Wait a minute
I have an idea
Do you plan on making this joker transparent?
rocky sorrel
graceful lava
Because I just thought of something... What if you kept it black but turned down the transparency to make it see-through like glass
That would naturally make it less black
hollow anvil
this is using glass joker's dark gray
graceful lava
Am I cooking?
hollow anvil
which is transparent already
graceful lava
this is using glass joker's dark gray
Ah, good point
graceful lava
I think it looks fine the way it is
Though it is worth considering that the lines around stained glass isn't usually transparent
rocky sorrel
eh i just like switching around colors

Its probably terrible but i thought it fits
rocky sorrel
gains chips / mult from interest maybe?
gains 0.1Xmult for every 5$ earned from interest or stmh
sullen swift
All cards count as [random suit] suit changes at the end of round
That actually sounds really good
sullen swift
Ive had this idea for a while and i tought it would fit this jokerr
yeah it does, this artstyle is used to "appeal to everyone" so it makes all cards appeal to all suits
frail raptor
Thats what i was thinking yeah
frail raptor
Is that cruelty squad
rocky sorrel
the man himself
frail raptor
Omg
pulsar vigil

Ahh i went down this road when trying to make my stained glass joker, the bust ended up being so awkward to work out so i did something different

here's all the jokers i've made so far (as seen in my files because i am not code man)
graceful lava
Corporate Joker
I got no stats yet, please give suggestions
Hmm...
It should be something to do with money
What about like... "gains +5$ when you play a straight flush (currently +5$)"
hollow anvil
lays off one of the jokers and takes all it's sell value
graceful lava
That would fit the corporate theme
Though...
Isn't that just dagger but arguably worse
sullen swift
Corporate Joker

Wait I've got it
Minimalist Joker
Gain $10 if blind is beaten within 20% base blind size
graceful lava
Idk what that means
sullen swift
Idk what that means
Basically if there's a blind that's 1000 chips to win, if you win without scoring over 1200 chips, you get $10
so for the standard finisher blind, winning while scoring under 120000 chips will give you $10

is there any templates that would help me make some customs

How do you guys go about making a custom joker?
rocky sorrel
hard question
fast egret
Aside from using a template, I mean one from scratch.
I'm no artist but I did Frankenstein one.
fast egret
No no, I meant for the other weird jokers.

if not just cutting the whole thing entirely
rocky sorrel
Abstract joker, castle, that stuff that usually requires like... Skill.
more of a getting better at pixel art question than a balatro question
fast egret
Of course, but I meant nailing the style/aesthetic of the game.
rocky sorrel
its a means to an end, i dont use just one way to get the result i want
fast egret
Here it is.
I mean this joker, the closest I could find to it in the game is this
And you can immediately tell this fits a lot better.
rocky sorrel
Of course, but I meant nailing the style/aesthetic of the game.
i guess just colorpick, watch out for pixel sizes, make sure the word "joker" is in there somewhere, don't use pure black
hollow anvil
Of course, but I meant nailing the style/aesthetic of the game.
the game uses a pretty limited color pallette which may help
rocky sorrel
getting good at balatro art is mostly getting good at pixel art
hollow anvil
yeah
fast egret
Did all of that, but these are more of guidelines than style.
I need to nail the style of the game.
Where to use gradients, where to use outlines etc etc... in addition to general pixel art skill.
rocky sorrel
so picking up a few tutorials about pixel art is a good idea
fast egret
Yep, been thinking of doing that.
hollow anvil
gradients are usually used in the background, i've never seen one used in the foreground
rocky sorrel
Did all of that, but these are more of guidelines than style.
I need to nail th...
reaaally is a case for case basis, outlines are good to differentiate 2 or more things, gradients are everywhere,
there's not a concrete rule, it's just use cases
you learn the use cases as you go along
even the main jokers arent really consistent with themselves id say
hollow anvil
unless it has a dark background already most cards use a dark gray outline
rocky sorrel
standard advice is to just have the joker atlas from the main game pulled up in a second window to draw inspiration and look at examples from
fast egret
Here it is.
I think I should start by improving this, take note of what made it better or fit the game's style more, and go from there.
pulsar vigil
Of course, but I meant nailing the style/aesthetic of the game.
It's just practice
hollow anvil
ye
pulsar vigil
Theres a thread somewhere on emulating the style
rocky sorrel
i made a space themed joker and i pulled up all the related space jokers, cards, and decks to colorpick, and try to figure out rules from
pulsar vigil
But you'll be less than perfect at it for the first few cards
I've been at it for a while and im only just getting the style right
rocky sorrel
yeah my first few werent great
except for one of these im real proud of my construction guy

rocky sorrel
yheah probablt
severe veldt
as a rare?
Uncommon
I’ve genuinely forgot where I put this one in my list but I’m fairly certain it’s uncommon
rocky sorrel
i mean hand size is strong already
and it seems like it can let you search for 7 cards per discard
and 6+ hand size if you use them all
dense patrol
Well, here is a wip of my cover thingy
severe veldt
Yes but then you’ve used all your discards
Not super great in most scenarios if your saving your hands
Plus it’s not actively contributing to chips or mult; purely utility
rocky sorrel
just seems like it makes it extremely easy to run through your deck since hand size makes discards stronger
since you dont have to potentially discard less than 5 cards
severe veldt
Could decrease it to +1 if it bothers u too much
rocky sorrel
not bothering me and you dont have to listen to the things i say im just one guy
i just like blatro
and talkingbout it
severe veldt
Fair
I’m tryna make these things to fit the balance of the game lol so any constructive criticism is welcome
rocky sorrel
i mean hand size does inherently make everything easier
and you're gonna be using discards 99% of the time
so +2 hand size on discard practically means you get 7 cards renewed per full discard
thas a lot
rocky sorrel
nope
rocky sorrel
so thats like +6 hand size most of the time
cloud creek
+4 hand size joker basically at high stakes
rocky sorrel
like an 80 something percent increase

tips to make it feel less flat?

I mean first thing I'm noticing is how skinny the slot machine is
It's like an etch a sketch lol
zinc thunder
word
graceful lava
You should definitely give it some more thickness back there
Also... I'm sorry you said the things in the background are 7s?
zinc thunder
look at the connections not the spaces between
graceful lava
Yeah no offense but that doesn't really work
graceful lava
Or you could just... Make the background consist of 7s
zinc thunder
those are 7s bro
graceful lava
I know but
It's just a really weird way of doing them
I'm sorry but no one would naturally pick up on that unless you told them
faint skiff

get ready for something wacky
snow harbor
For example if u merged a pair of 10s youd get another 10 that had twenty chips ...
is it just the chips or does it also take enhancement stats too?
severe veldt
if compatible then yes
if you tried merging a holo with a poly it'd randomly burn one of the two
snow harbor
ok
snow harbor
ok thats what i was asking
severe veldt
and a 10 with poly
and you merged them
the resulting card would be a 10 that gives 20 tokens that has poly and a red seal
severe veldt
Snickerdoodle
- For three rounds, when you leave the shop, add a random skip tag.
- It's DECEPTIVE. That's what it is, it's DECEPTIVE.
Next up:
- Joker Amalgamate
- Easter Eggs
- Student ID
Pick wisely
zinc thunder
😭
severe veldt
I am picking easter eggs as no one picked anything in time
vast musk
yeah idk what it is first think that came to mind was "THERES BEEN A MIXUP AT THE COOKIE FACTORIE THE COOKIES ARE BL-BL-BL-BLUE?!?!?" "DAMN YOU BONZO!"
severe veldt
lol i mean fair enough as this is a reference to smth but im not gonna give away what it is
if ykyk
vast musk
understandable doing the same thing for some
graceful lava
Next choices are:
- Snickerdoodle
- Nacho Vendor
- Billiards
Choose wisely
Billiards sounds fun
graceful lava
For example if u merged a pair of 10s youd get another 10 that had twenty chips ...
Isn't that just doubling
But with extra steps
graceful lava
So what would happen if I played two bonus cards in a pair
Like a bonus pair of 7s for example
severe veldt
youd get a bonus 7 that gives 14 chips + bonus
graceful lava
Ah ok
zinc thunder
it’s probably meant more to deck fix I’d assume
graceful lava
So does it like... Make a new card? Or...
Actually wait no that doesn't make sense
severe veldt
let me try to explain it as best as I can
graceful lava
Well yeah but you're not gonna get a 14 of hearts
severe veldt
correct lol
graceful lava
Tho you could make it follow hitchhiker rules
graceful lava

1 tarot to 15 chips? Explain?
zinc thunder
The effect of the joker is to gain 15 chips every time a tarot is used (I was planning to probably make it 10 btw I know it scales too quickly)
severe veldt
thats what it kind of does
max u can increase by at once is 20, so combining two 10s that have already been upgraded to 40 chips each would only get you a 10 with 60 chips
graceful lava
So it's like fortune teller but with chips
zinc thunder
Yeah
graceful lava
Simple but it works

This seems a little too good don't you think
Oh up to 2 times
Nevermind
severe veldt
I think if it were just the first hand it would be fine but thats just me
graceful lava
That would be actually really cool
stable kayak
I'm thinking 2 is a good number otherwise it'd be better burglar
zinc thunder
it doesn’t do much since you won’t have much efficiency form not playing your most played hand which you would have built towards
graceful lava
That's true
graceful lava
What if instead of being based on your most played hand
What if it was something more like...
"if you play your least played poker hand"
Same idea just more restricted
stable kayak
interesting
zinc thunder
nah it’d be too bad imo
you need to play at least every other hand once before that happens
graceful lava
you need to play at least every other hand once before that happens
Yeah and then once you have 1 on every hand every hand will be your least
stable kayak
for now I think it fits the picky joker name
zinc thunder
and if you have it so that ties count it would be too easy to proc
graceful lava
"when every hand is used, none of them will be"

Good early game and maybe a good obelisk enabler I like it

yeah obelisk
I do like the idea of having mechanics that don't hole you into one poker hand
but this game's certainly centered around investing in one poker hand per run

spice bone
The problem with “least played hand” jokers IMO is that they all inevitably end up being straight flush jokers
Because you’re forced to play one of those at some point
And that’s a hard hand to force
Annoyingly so
stable kayak
true
graceful lava
That's a fair point
rocky sorrel
And that’s a hard hand to force
or impossible if you use enough hangman or the tarot suits

this was easy to implement!

isn't the effect just a worse burglar unless you could like copy this and get andrew

The difference is it’s a one-to-one conversion
And making everything a played hand substantially increases your scoring potential, even if you have to use some plays LIKE discards

It took me a little bit to understand what it does differently from the burglar
But that would go crazy with the discard vouchers, the drunkard or merry andy
graceful lava
It would also go crazy with burglar
Unfortunately it takes a lot more than just a heck ton of hands to get far in the game though
long smelt
But would breakthrough and burglar be able to be used together or will breakthough just not work with it?
Since burglar get rids of all discards
shy yacht
Yeah burglar would probably not synergize well unless it triggered AFTER breakthrough
long smelt
This made me realize that I want a joker that can make discards act as hands and hands act as discards
So if you have no discards left then you can still keep discarding cards but it will use your remaining hands instead and the opposite is true
long smelt
You no longer have to play the cards in order to get rid of them, idk why you would WANT to do that but you could
shy yacht
This made me realize that I want a joker that can make discards act as hands and...
That’s already how hands work
long smelt
BETTER than burglar
Kinda bad if you're on blue stake
snow harbor
BETTER than burglar
feels worse imo cus burg can be copied
how this ability is described seems it can only work once
long smelt
That’s already how hands work
I know that, but in specific situations you might not want to play cards just to get rid of them, for specific jokers or for the blue seal
snow harbor
also burglar is uncommon
shy yacht
Iiii see
long smelt
If you also have no hands left then you can use your leftover discards instead to play cards with
snow harbor
also trading card
honestly a cool deck idea would be to replace the individual hand and discard pools with a single pool of stuff that works as both
like with a ui change and everything
long smelt

Yeah that would be a cool idea
snow harbor
then anything that gives hands/discards gives one mixed thing burglar just gives 3 hands, etc etc
fusion deck
snow harbor
The difference between this and burglar is the purpose of the card \:)
yeah but burglar is better 9 times out of 10 and also uncommon
you need wasteful for it to outpace one burglar, both discard vouchers on blue stake, and it cant even be copied like burg can
severe veldt
Deck idea
snow harbor
with a single blueprint you need merry andy to outpace burg
severe veldt
Played and discarded cards go back into the main deck instead of being lost for the round

heres my shit for comparison:

dude thats an amazing idea
mellow gazelle
It's... Kinda op considering red seals exist
But getting said joker is hard so it doesn't matter
Hard for someone like me at least
It's also based off an oc of mine soo
silver wadi
Hard for someone like me at least
that makes the two of us

The unlock requirement is "Play a hand that has 5 unique seals"

what's the theming here
mellow gazelle
Well lemme reword that
Le.O - increases by ×0.1 every triggered seal (currently ×1)
Unlock requirement - play a hand with all unique seals
silver wadi
That means just four 🫠
hey when it comes to brainstorming custom jokers were past the point of limiting ourselves
who said you cant come up with a brand new seal idea
graceful lava
yeah there's no limits to anything here really
mellow gazelle

The thing is I can't think of a unique seal

I don't see what the design has to do with eeriness

Only jokers and unique unlock requirements

out of all the food related jokers that made the least sense

because it's bean
silver wadi

hmmm, ever had a joker idea and realized it would be better off as a voucher? happens a lot to me

my question is why is your joker called Eerie

Nope lol

Emi - immediately eats food jokers, gain 5% negative chance (caps at 30%), once cap is reached, reset and give twice the sell value of all jokers eaten

VIP Ticket - allows up to 5 enhancements to be present in one card

mellow gazelle
Adds eternal - minus 2 hand size
rocky sorrel
Well then
Concert Ticket - allows up to 2 enhancements to be present in one car...
besides the uh technical limitations
rocky sorrel
What about the other two
then you run into the issue of potentially having a player see them before their stake
or having it arbitrairly locked behind a certain event
severe veldt
Then perhaps not

Allows up to two enhancements present simultaneously in cards

I just got an idea for an endgame deck you'd use specifically to get c++

Dying with a single joker will grant said joker as negative in the next run. Rare jokers excluded
