Right

[snow harbor]

nothing says the counter resets every shop

[lament fable]

It’s implied

[snow harbor]

idk i dont see it

the wording reads how burglar does

and flashcard

[winter rover]

If you reroll 3 times, the next shop will retain 1 reroll, so you only need to reroll once more

[graceful lava]

Ok fine how about rephrasing it to...
+1 hand and +1 discard per two rerolls in the shop. Resets after each blind.

Just to make it more simple

[snow harbor]

off of established nomenclature, the counter doesnt reset

[snow harbor]

yeah that works

all it needs

i personally think its still a little powerful for uncommon though

seeing that it gives both hands and discards

[winter rover]

like burglar, it can counter the water and the needle

[snow harbor]

(also in theory with it could stack with burglar to give extra discards after him)

also, before i sound like a heartless critic
i fucking love the art good lord thats good

[shadow pivot]

yeah the art is peak

but i agree 1 hand and 1 discard is quite a lot

[snow harbor]

its the fact that it gives both

[graceful lava]

Maybe it should just be discards

[shadow pivot]

yeah that seems better

[snow harbor]

i mean

to be honest i like it

i personally prefer the idea where it doesnt reset

that sounds really cool

its just busted af

[graceful lava]

You... Don't want it to reset?

[snow harbor]

for balance reasons, no

for power fantasy reasons, yes

[nocturne cosmos]

It only checks the last shop you went to

[winter rover]

This is my first joker. If I make a few more, I might release a mod.
A friend of mine is handling the code, and I’m in charge of the art.

[shy yacht]

I say go for it! While game balance can be valuable, it’s more important to make jokers you enjoy and can be proud of. It’s a mod, after all.

[raw hare]

Oh man yours is so much nicer than mine! Tho where is the joker text? 🤔

[snow harbor]

stunning first joker imo, just maybe a rare and not an uncommon

[winter rover]

Thanks! I’ll test it out and decide on the rarity then.

[green rapids]

couldn't figure out where to fit it in

[green rapids]

OBLIVION
Scoring cards are destroyed

[nocturne cosmos]

Le reference?

[green rapids]

it is not a reference to anything in particular

[nocturne cosmos]

Just eldritch jimbo

Just Jimbo

DDLC joker with the just Monica scene lmao

[worldly glen]

weird joker sketch

[woeful venture]

So abstract

I love ot

[split coyote]

woah Landscape joker

[keen wolf]

ouuuuuuu maybe a current favorite card art.
The first version of it I drew I didn't like the result much because I felt it wasn't up to the standard of what I've done in recent cards, so I redid it and this result is so much better

Harionago - "Gains X0.5 Mult each consecutive Straight or Straight Flush played, resets if any other hand is played" - Uncommon

[wicked token]

Do things like straight flushes count towards mult?

Or flush house or flush five?

[keen wolf]

R

Reading the card tells you what the card does

[surreal grove]

I love the design

[worldly holly]

7 to go

[merry steeple]

Got a few more Destiny-reskin Tarot cards. First up we’ve got the replacement for **The Magician **, a clear intended reference in game, The Witch

Lower jaw probably could be reduced down a bit, but Im pretty happy with it

And the replacement for The High Priestess, The Harbinger

[soft mason]

Made a custom Joker for gits and shiggles but Reddit won't let me post it so I'm sharing here

[small plover]

Cool! Looks good

[soft mason]

No idea if it's balanced just thought was a funny reference

[ruby lily]

very similar to hologram

[soft mason]

Yeah, but there'd be some alternate ways to get Ace of Spades into your deck

Like Death, Strength, World, etc.

So a lil different

[soft mason]

Uhh, it was just an error

It wasn't that I was not allowed

That's not a civil war/confederate outfit

[noble sierra]

It's fucking Lemmy.

Lol

[soft mason]

That is Lemmy Kilmister, of Motörhead

[burnt sable]

ermmm no? that’s clearly not a koopa 🙄

[blissful wadi]

a bit weak Imo

[noble sierra]

https://youtu.be/3mbvWn1EY6g

[vagrant moat]

developing my own joker pack mod on the side, still a wip and currently 22 out of 30

one of them is actually gonna be animated

[rich tusk]

daln

damn

[noble sierra]

Lemmy is a Brit.

[frail raptor]

tried making my own blinds

[nocturne cosmos]

Freaky

[vagrant moat]

thank you, he is called paladin

nah, when i first thought about him he was connected to spectral cards but now I wnat him to play around with consumable slots

that was unintentional but I like the interpetation lol

face cards? go ahead

well the jack is technically just a soldier lol

even worse lol

[noble sierra]

Sounds like a tennis player.

[plain rune]

So

Flat earth (Rare)
Gives x4mult if played poker hand is exactly Full House. Otherwise, gives x1.5mult

-# The Earth is a donut

[half oak]

:emoji_46:

[vagrant moat]

cool concept lol

[noble sierra]

Everyone knows who Lemmy is.

[vagrant moat]

earth upgrades full house

the only famous serbian person i know is goran bregovic

[noble sierra]

He's not a general. LMAO.
This is Lemmy.

https://youtu.be/3mbvWn1EY6g

[vagrant moat]

i now see the reference, very cool

[noble sierra]

I don't disagree. I'm from Ireland. We had problems with them in the past. 😆

[vagrant moat]

umm

he's a musician

so ig he's relatively famous

like his music that's all

🤷‍♂️

in due time i suppose lol

[noble sierra]

I know Nikola Tesla.

[vagrant moat]

oh im not a sports guy

[noble sierra]

Oh. And Novak Dokovic.

[raw hare]

here's how i did it. i might have to redo it tho now that you've stepped up the game.

[minor kraken]

Region Planet Cards

[raw hare]

just thought of something that might make more sense thematically for the points. How about you call it arrows, since it looks like an arrow head.

[vast musk]

for a slimmer of a secound i thought these where real regions and i was deadass trying to find mine before i catched on

[minor kraken]

lol

[narrow sky]

Why is kalos just france

[static tulip]

pretty much every pokémon region is based on an existing place
it just so happens that Kalos resembles France very closely in comparison to, say, Paldea resembling Spain, or Galar representing the United Kingdom

[gloomy carbon]

(also i forgot the filter that lightens it to Balatro darkness standards, ignore that)

[obsidian kiln]

Update: I completed the spades and diamonds!

[echo oriole]

Ooh I love these

[hollow anvil]

Joker: Plate Joker
Effect: Duplicates of this Joker can appear in the shop, duplicates are automatically deleted.
If 3 duplicates are bought, transform this Joker into a Mecha Joker.

[raw hare]

Oh it already has an effect.

Joker model kit
1 in 3 chance to give a random enhancement, edition or a seal to a non-basic scored card.

[surreal grove]

non-basic? doesn't that just mean enhanced?

[raw hare]

Oh yeah I guess that would be the wording

[hollow anvil]

very cool

[livid elbow]

hate.

[teal island]

I call him Topsy

[livid elbow]

your son has every known disease.

[junior tangle]

dumb edit i made

[brittle nexus]

oh this is never leaving my textures folder

[junior tangle]

THANK YOU

[teal island]

Cloudwatching

[plain rune]

I think it would be great if the clouds spelled as Joker (then you can also remove the "joker" at both side)

Anyway, it looks great

[teal island]

I want to use the standard joker formatting in some of my cards

helps them fit in

[plain rune]

It's fine

Btw, what does it do

[teal island]

idk

[surreal grove]

+$1 when [random rank from 2-5 and J-A] is scored

[heady tartan]

would that use idol logic or just completely random

[cloud creek]

probably completely random since it's a set range

[teal island]

Toothy Joker

[hardy orchid]

Sell this card to automatically win the round

[hardy orchid]

crazy teeth

[graceful lava]

gives me Ren and Stimpy vibes lol

I wanna throw a ball at em and see how many tooths I can knock down

[granite fable]

This Joker gains +5 Mult for each card destroyed

[teal island]

Another row of jokers done

[sullen swift]

is that first one "cover yourself in oil"

[teal island]

yes

[hazy seal]

are they for a mod?

they look amazing

[teal island]

nah not at the moment

[granite fable]

You should get in contact with a modder if you can

There’s so much potential here

[sullen swift]

these are amazing

[hazy seal]

do they have effects at least?

[graceful lava]

oh boy if there's no abilities this is gonna be fun

[teal island]

I've considered a few, but it's fun to post them and just see what people here come up with

I dont usually think of effects while drawing

[hazy seal]

shame, lmk if youll work on a mod for them, they look pretty neat

[granite fable]

Does this one work?

[graceful lava]

ok wait so the first one is covering yourself in oil

is that a reference to something

[granite fable]

Based on “consuming” food Jokers

[granite fable]

Meme

Oil floats on water

[granite fable]

So if you’re covered in oil, you can fly in the rain

[teal island]

woah thats a tiny png

[graceful lava]

thats stupid but I like it lol

[teal island]

nvm its funnier this way

[graceful lava]

ok so being able to fly in the rain...

[livid elbow]

is hisui black hole 👀

[teal island]

the idea of jimbo dripping with oil, floating menacingly above a cityscape is very funny to me

[graceful lava]

so the ability should be related to gaining a lot but also making yourself suceptible to a bad punishment

since thats what covering yourself in oil would do too

[granite fable]

Confused the hell out of me

[graceful lava]

you can fly but you are also able to be burnt easily

so...

[hazy seal]

i dunno, why dont you cover in oil and send us a photo so we can picture it out?

[teal island]

Stop asking for oiled up pics on the balatro discord

sicko

[shadow pivot]

meet the doodle joker

[graceful lava]

nice

[granite fable]

Says the guy who drew jimbo oiled up

[graceful lava]

refreshing to see a version of this without the cool S

[hazy seal]

youre the one that posted oil-covered jimbo 🙄

[shadow pivot]

oh yes

[graceful lava]

kind of a shame you didn't make the joker text look scribbled

[hazy seal]

maybe the words joker could also be handwritten

[graceful lava]

yeah

[hazy seal]

"copies the ability of a random joker each round"

then the cycle is complete

doodle<brainstorm<blueprint

[granite fable]

Threeway

[teal island]

This is really stupid, but probably one of my fav jokers ive done is silly sausage

[shy yacht]

Defying Gravity - Whenever a played hand is effected by a boss blind, this card gains x0.75 mult. (Currently x1 mult)

[hazy seal]

I LOVED THAT GAME

[teal island]

Game?

[hazy seal]

silly sausage

[granite fable]

The stretchy dog thing??

Are we talking about the same one?

[hazy seal]

yeah, that one

[granite fable]

I didn’t know anyone else played that!!!

The memories

[hazy seal]

like the name of the game is literally silly sausage, i thought it was a reference to that

[junior tangle]

Man i need to get better with pixel art these are all so good

[granite fable]

But also, sausages are pretty silly

[hazy seal]

i gived up, im just a programmer

[hazy seal]

true

[junior tangle]

I have no idea how to do that lol

Still haven't found a guide

[hazy seal]

you just need to sell your soul to smods

[junior tangle]

Wait smods has a guide?

[teal island]

silly sausage is just a turn of phrase

for like, a silly person

[hazy seal]

anyways, asking in #💻・modding-dev is a good start, i learned like 80% of my lua and modding knowledge there

[hazy seal]

i see, im spanish so i didnt knew that word play

[snow harbor]

crusty, aged like fine wine

[graceful lava]

I feel like sausage should do something similar to egg

just from it's design

[hazy seal]

i just realized

[junior tangle]

I think i would like art more but i can give it a try sooner or later

[hazy seal]

egg is a food joker, but is not "perishable"

[graceful lava]

maybe it could play around with the idea of sausages being mystery meat

like no one knows how the sausage is made

uh...

[granite fable]

You have to “eat” it to use it tho

[snow harbor]

aint that specifically hotdogs tho

[graceful lava]

idk how that would translate to Balatro though

[granite fable]

Gros Michel also doesn’t degrade over time

[graceful lava]

hotdogs are sausages bro

[granite fable]

Hotdogs are sausages and buns

[hazy seal]

but it dissapears eventually

[snow harbor]

yeah but you dont do the joke with just sausage

also its 'stick pig meat and spices into a tube'

[hazy seal]

i know how to make hotdogs, i made them last week

[teal island]

The egg is a reference to a nest egg

[granite fable]

Only from a statistical standpoint

[teal island]

As in, a stockpile of cash put away for when you need it

[granite fable]

It could last forever if you’re lucky

[hazy seal]

my experience doesnt say the same

[graceful lava]

the sausage should be a reference to "how the sausage is made" which means something made deviously and in a means that should be kept secret

[shadow pivot]

the new doodle joker

[granite fable]

And NorthernLion

[teal island]

NNOOO

THE S RETURNS

[graceful lava]

idk how this should be done though

[sullen swift]

run from it, hide from it, the S arrives the same

[graceful lava]

I have an idea

[hazy seal]

I once had the craziest banana experience: shop 1 gros michel, destroys itself in first round, shop 2 cavendish, destroys itself in first round

i dont know the probabilities for that

[shadow pivot]

crazy

[hazy seal]

but i should take a lottery ticket

[graceful lava]

hmmm...

[snow harbor]

chance of banan * chance of exctinct * chance of new banana * chance of exctinct

just from the extinct stuff its 1/6000

[granite fable]

Then buy a new car, and it immediately explodes

[snow harbor]

commons appear 70% of the time

how many commons are there?

[hazy seal]

about 85

i dont know exactly

[granite fable]

61

[snow harbor]

so (1/60 * 0.7) * 1/6 * (1/60 * 0.7) * 1/1000

1/60 bc cavendish isnt in the first pool and michelle isnt in the second one

[graceful lava]

Silly Sausage
Gives X1.5 for the next 2 rounds, number of rounds increases for each joker sold

[hazy seal]

okay...

[granite fable]

*Silly Sausage

[granite fable]

But that’s a really cool concept

[snow harbor]

my math agrees

[graceful lava]

and the name fits because its like its made of joker meat

[snow harbor]

0.0000022685%

[hazy seal]

so 0.000002%??

[graceful lava]

that also fits the theme of "how the sausage is made"

because it's made in a devious manner

and it's technically still a food joker because it goes away if you don't feed it enough jokers, ironically

[hazy seal]

how does jimbo sausage taste like?

[snow harbor]

glass

[graceful lava]

it tastes kinda funny

[granite fable]

😳

[sullen swift]

Gonna make rare jokers for the 4 suits based on the 4 elements, and I need some help figuring out what I should do for them
(this is heavily wip, just as a base)

[graceful lava]

what element is that

[sullen swift]

air

[graceful lava]

huh?

[snow harbor]

thats a clever way of doing rare suit jokers

[graceful lava]

can you explain the design

cause I don't see how thats air

[snow harbor]

its based off of alchemical elements

earth fire water and air

[graceful lava]

oh ok

gotcha gotcha

so what does it do

[snow harbor]

(theres also the alchemical metals and such, but the four main ones are these)

[hazy seal]

is the alchemical symbol

[graceful lava]

hey Prototype what other jokers do you got that need abilities

[granite fable]

Huh?

[snow harbor]

oops

[graceful lava]

oh wait that was nevernamed my bad

[sullen swift]

haven't really decided yet

[granite fable]

Lol I don’t make jokers

Wish I could

[graceful lava]

my bad

and same

[hazy seal]

you really like to make joker effects

[graceful lava]

I do lol

it's the only part of joker creation I can really do

[granite fable]

Me too

[hazy seal]

nice

i dont really do design either but i like to go in this channel and see al the joker art that people make

[graceful lava]

same

[hazy seal]

also, when im done with Toyrapple jokers, i plan to ask another artist here to code their jokers into the game :)

but it would take time, that guy is a pretty good artist

[teal island]

if you're interested in alchemical stuff, you should try and get your hands on some of the old manuscripts

lots of online libraries have them

[hazy seal]

i think there is an alchemical mod for balatro

never played it tho

[teal island]

Lots of people reference archaic magical concepts without actually reading the old texts

And I think that's a shame

because people are referencing a reference of a reference

When there's so much you can get out of going back to the source

[snow harbor]

so which is gonna be tied to what?

[granite fable]

Arcanum… something?

[sullen swift]

Earth - Diamonds
Water - Hearts
Air - Spades
Fire - Clubs

[snow harbor]

mhm

makes sense

[hazy seal]

i dunno why but i feel clubs should be earth

[granite fable]

They’re green

And look like leaves

[midnight bobcat]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1142073528171122798/1341597994436526131/ezgif-1e2fe35b31135d.gif

hehe

[hazy seal]

what are clubs? like in spanish we use the world "treboles" that means clovers

[granite fable]

Weapons?

[hazy seal]

so i dont really now if clubs are a thing outside of the poker suit

[granite fable]

You hit people with them

[hazy seal]

oh okay

i know

[patent crag]

interesting
i would think Fire for hearts, Earth for Clubs, Water for spades and Air for diamonds but sure

[granite fable]

Unless it symbolises something else ig

[midnight bobcat]

caveman joker
clubs give x1.25 mult

[hazy seal]

so "bastos" in the spanish deck is like that one

this is the equivalent to Jack of clubs in the spanish deck

[patent crag]

oh yeah okay i see

[granite fable]

Wild for Ether

[patent crag]

then yeah what Hat Stack chose would make sense

[sullen swift]

yep it's that

[patent crag]

cool cool

[green rapids]

improved

[hazy seal]

k people, im going to sleep now, is almost 5 am

good night, dream with jimbos

[teal island]

Line in the Sand

[midnight bobcat]

looks like dalgona

[next trail]

I was watching a friend of mine, LoveDonkey, play Balatro on Twitch, so here's a Joker I made for him called High Donk

[tight lotus]

first time making real pixel art but heres Mysterious Potion. it would apply a random enhancement to any scored cards with enhancements

[granite fable]

Congratulations!

[teal island]

Hairy Joker

[copper granite]

Gift Card

[teal island]

coupon for one (1) free banan

[graceful lava]

Bro looks like Yosemite Sam lol

[graceful lava]

I like to think this ability would be related to survival, since drawing lines in the sand is usually associated with say trying to get the attention of a helicopter or something

[teal island]

well line in the sand is an expression

meaning to set a boundary

Like

[graceful lava]

Ah, I see

[copper granite]

I think of that one spongebob episode

[teal island]

"I'm not going to call him at work, that's my line in the sand"

[graceful lava]

Thats where I draw the line

Yeah that makes sense

[tired blade]

squid games ‼️

[graceful lava]

Probably easier to make an ability for as well

Idk how that would translate into Balatro though... Hmm...

Setting boundaries...

What if it was like a joker that gives mult based on if you don't play a certain hand

[copper granite]

blinds are reduced by 15% 🤯

[graceful lava]

And then it builds up kinda like Ride the Bus does

Line in the Sand
Gains +1 mult for every played hand that isn't X HAND, changes after each round and resets if illegal hand is played

It's a bit lengthy but I think that makes sense right

[granite fable]

Isn’t that name taken?

[copper granite]

Yeah I don't have a nickname yet

[harsh lantern]

ok last update i promise. i changed some of the dynamics, the set and bass marimba were way too loud, i fixed the soundfont range issue with the missing note at 3:05, and i brought down the entire section at 2:25, i think it sounds better softer

[granite fable]

“This Joker gains +1 Mult per consecutive hand played without playing [poker hand] (changes if [poker hand] is played)”

Based on Obelisk’s wording

[graceful lava]

Yeah that works

[rich lava]

This is a delightful rendition!

Would work very well for some kind of Travel Brochure pack theme...

[harsh lantern]

thank you!

[devout plaza]

Me wait for the bus be like

It peak

[sonic badge]

spooky traditional art

was inspired by one of nevernamed's legendary jokers

[granite fable]

Fortunato?

You put a unique spin on him

[graceful lava]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-sheriff-elevator-gif-20246315

[sturdy kiln]

this is the elevator music that would make everyone stay on the elevator too long just to listen to it

[sonic badge]

ye

[harsh lantern]

vibraphones do give off that vibe

pun intended

[granite fable]

What are they called?

[teal island]

this is sick as fuck, you're great with a pencil

[spice bone]

Clinky!

[stiff plinth]

the lack of pupils in the eyes make him look like a demon

love it

[teal island]

adding pupils when eyes are too small looks weird

imo

[plain rune]

Luminol testing

I also have another version. I call it bloody joker

[copper granite]

is the "e" in Realty meant to be lowercase here? Really good art btw

honestly never seen an e handled like that

[granite fable]

Gravedigger (Legendary)
+4 Joker slots
1 in 5 chance to give a random other Joker eternal and disable it at end of round

[graceful lava]

This looks very good

So obviously this would be an economy joker right

[granite fable]

Full House synergy?

[graceful lava]

Or would it be a joker related to full houses

What about both lol

Like... +2$ if played hand contains a full house

Or or or what about

[rocky sorrel]

the concept is baffling

[graceful lava]

Full Houses can be made with 3 of a kind and a high card, rather than a pair

[granite fable]

I’ll reword it

[graceful lava]

Or something like that idk a better way to phrase it lmao

[rocky sorrel]

no like

[plain rune]

Luminol Joker (Uncommon)

First and last played cards act as Heart suit

[graceful lava]

Basically Full Houses are 3 + 1 instead of 3 + 2

[rocky sorrel]

i cant put my thumb on where it would stand w the other leggies

[copper granite]

Does balatro ever specifically reference numbered cards as opposed to face ones

[rocky sorrel]

nope

[granite fable]

Once, with a Spectral

[graceful lava]

It does in that one spectral

Yeah

[granite fable]

But it excludes Aces

[copper granite]

Does it just refer to it as numbered cards?

[granite fable]

Yeah

[graceful lava]

I think so

[copper granite]

Alright cool

[graceful lava]

Before you try it, making all cards number cards like some kind of backwards Paradoleia would suck

[rocky sorrel]

all cards are cards, and cards can either be face or not face, it just so happens that the Jacks Queens and Kings ranks are face yes

[copper granite]

Nahh thats criminal

[graceful lava]

lol

[rocky sorrel]

i mean what would you even use it for

just plant?

[teal island]

yeah, its a custom font i made to be as small as i could

[copper granite]

Oh I know but I wanna specifically target numbered ones

[graceful lava]

Although...

[plain rune]

Gives $10 at the end of the round if a full house played during the blind

[graceful lava]

What if there was a card that made face cards count as all number cards at once

[copper granite]

Ahh I see, thats cool

[plain rune]

Idk if it good for it

[graceful lava]

Like a Kind could trigger Hack, 8 Ball, Cloud 9, Wee Joker and uh...

[granite fable]

Gravedigger (Legendary)
+4 Joker slots
1 in 5 chance to destroy another Joker and permanently lose a Joker slot at end of round

[graceful lava]

Fibonacci

[copper granite]

I wanted to do something like "Gain 20$ every 11 numbered cards scored (Currently 0)" for this

will need to balance correctly but thats the rough gist

[graceful lava]

I like the idea that it's like a V Bucks card

In fact you should've called them J Bucks

[gaunt osprey]

Anonymous Joker - debuffed cards give X1.5 mult.

[graceful lava]

That's cool

[plain rune]

Guys. Which do you think better? Luminol one or bloody one?

[graceful lava]

Ability seems a bit niche though

[plain rune]

Looks great

[granite fable]

Bloody

[copper granite]

I wanted to originally but didn't wanna make it cramped

[graceful lava]

I have an idea that could improve it

[rocky sorrel]

yeah debuff jokers arent always winners

[graceful lava]

Anonymous Joker
Every drawn card has a 1 in 10 chance of being debuffed. Played debuffed cards give X1.5

[rocky sorrel]

jokersthat do shit on debuff cards are too niche, doesnt get you through small blind and big blind if you actually use them for point scoring in any way

[granite fable]

Scott

[graceful lava]

Does this help with that?

Plus I'd argue there's enough of a risk factor with it

[granite fable]

Ion

My man

Mattress man

[graceful lava]

What?

[granite fable]

I wanted to hear his constructive criticism

[granite fable]

^🥺

[graceful lava]

I have a question

Why shouldn't I get that and then get 4 jokers and then sell it

[granite fable]

Aw man

[rocky sorrel]

i mean like, giving eternals seemed like a cool idea

[graceful lava]

20 dollars J Bucks card! Who wants it?

[rocky sorrel]

something like turning a joker into a negative eternal or something

[copper granite]

I was considering making it 19

[rocky sorrel]

funny

[gaunt osprey]

i cant think of any better ideas lol
any other ability ideas?

[copper granite]

it unfortunately looks like it would specifically benefit face cards

with the whole anonymous thing

"all face cards are considered the same" typa thing

but who knows, maybe im just unoriginal

[rocky sorrel]

something about drawing them face down maybe

[granite fable]

That’s a Boss Blind

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but like

to justify a big buff

[copper granite]

Oh but what if its to do with blinds, it's face is covered afterall

2.5x mult when facing boss blinds

boss blinds are the only ones with identities to them

[gaunt osprey]

Jacks are considered as Kings, maybe?

[sullen swift]

I did something similar with Jones
where some cards are drawn face down, but cards played face down are retriggered

seems like a fun idea

[rocky sorrel]

seems like a bad way to adress jacks weaknesses compared to kings and quedns

[spice bone]

I think making it interact with debuffs is a fine idea if you add some other jokers that debuff cards

[rocky sorrel]

i mean yeah but if you have a lot of mods it dilutes the pool

[copper granite]

what if it just allows disabled jokers to work no matter what

[rocky sorrel]

thars

[copper granite]

since we're working with niches

[granite fable]

Easy

[rocky sorrel]

for 1 blind

[granite fable]

Just add a trojan that seeks out other mods and kills them

[rocky sorrel]

and perishable tag

[copper granite]

I mainly meant perishable tag

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but thats a laserniche

and not useful otherwise

and barely useful even in the niche

[copper granite]

I mean I tried for normal ideas

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[teal island]

Mute Joker

[granite fable]

Mime v.2?

[copper granite]

I like how the colors are mute

[teal island]

This is a funeral mute

Funeral Mutes are victorian era paid mourners

who led funeral processions

[copper granite]

all is mute

[plain rune]

I have 2 options for this joker but idk which one I should use

Bloody joker

1. First and last played cards act as Heart suit (Uncommon)
2. 1 in 5 chance for each played card turned into Heart. Heart cards permanently gain 2 mult when scored (rare)

[granite fable]

1?

[teal island]

1 seems very situational

[rocky sorrel]

1 seems hyperspecific

[granite fable]

Sounds simple enough

[rocky sorrel]

if you already have heart jokers wouldnt you already be going for deckfixing towards hearts

[granite fable]

I thought it converted them for some reason

[teal island]

i like the idea of this joker letting you convert cards to hearts permanently

[rocky sorrel]

i likethe second one better too yeah

[granite fable]

I don’t like the double abilities

[copper granite]

having a single joker for each suit in that way would be kinda cool

[rocky sorrel]

me either

[teal island]

yeah, scrap the mult and make it convert more consistently

[rocky sorrel]

but i think just conversion would be good

[teal island]

Like 1 in 4 or something

[rocky sorrel]

i think flat mult on cards is more clubs thing anyway

what with onyx

[sullen swift]

Decided to add the suits to the Periodic Symbols
Are these good?

[rocky sorrel]

i think the colors could use work

and the suits being behind the triangle kind of makes them seem less important even though they take up more space in total

[sturdy kiln]

wip legendary using perkeo as a base and ive created an abomination

[copper granite]

My god he's so normal

[plain rune]

So I think I will use 1.

Bloody joker (Uncommon)
First and last cards act like Heart suit

[copper granite]

Uhh I mean sure I guess

[teal island]

Has anyone made a joker based on the Heidelberg Tun?

[sullen swift]

Yeah, just wanted to use colours related to each element
If you have any suggestions for colours, i'd really like to hear them

[granite fable]

Ker

[sturdy kiln]

not an uncommon

[rocky sorrel]

seems like a lazerniche

[copper granite]

thats quite specific but I don't believe so

[teal island]

Well, because Perkeo of Heidelberg was the keeper of the famous Heidelberg Tun

[rocky sorrel]

bright orange for diamonds would work, and a more saturated blue for hearts, i cant think for the other ones but i think diamonds and hearts are the muddier ones

[teal island]

So it sorta tangentially relates through Perkeo

[copper granite]

Oh well that's a link but I don't believe it's been directly referenced or illustrated in a custom joker yet

iffff thats the question

[teal island]

Just explaining why I mentioned it

[sullen swift]

I get what you mean, it's a bit low saturation

but also the reason diamonds is brown is because it's earth

[rocky sorrel]

i meant more like,

[sullen swift]

and earth is kinda muddy

[rocky sorrel]

the triangle, shouldve specified

[teal island]

poop elemental

[rocky sorrel]

the triangle gets lost in it all i think

[sullen swift]

oh that part
thanks for the clarification

[rocky sorrel]

and because the triangle is way darker in clubs and spades its more noticeable

[sullen swift]

Are these better?

[rocky sorrel]

i think the triangle might wanna be brighter actually

it ikind of gets lost in the mix

[sullen swift]

is this better?

[rocky sorrel]

woaaaaaaa yeah

i think that was it for me but like,

remember its your joker i dont wanna influence too much lol

[sullen swift]

nah don't worry I like the brighter symbol

wondering about air, because the spade's already as bright as it gets

maybe I could make the spade dusk coloured

[rocky sorrel]

i think they should be fine for spades and clubs

maybe make the triangles tinted to the backround color but still dark

since the backround is so bright

[sullen swift]

wait

so bright for the light suits

and dark for the dark suits

genius

[rocky sorrel]

uhhhh yes! that was always my intent 100% of the time

[thin bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/xingxing-eating-gif-12693750904794212523

[rocky sorrel]

_>

[copper granite]

That's a pretty bad apple

[teal island]

simple one, but I think it turned out good

[rocky sorrel]

lovely

not too sure whats going w the bottom joker text though

[teal island]

just figured it was fun to make it like an imprint

[copper granite]

could take out the joker frames and add a small "Joker!!" at the top left if we're leaning hard into the reference

[granite fable]

Make the right JOKER black where it overlaps with the background

[graceful lava]

Oh I was kinda hoping it was an Isaac Newton reference lmao

[graceful lava]

Wdym paid mourners

[granite fable]

To make it seem like the deceased was loved by more people ig

[graceful lava]

Ah ok

[granite fable]

Imagine getting paid to cry

[graceful lava]

Ok so obviously it has something to do with jokers being sold or cards being destroyed then

Or maybe it could have something based on when you die kinda like Mr. Bones does

[teal island]

they get paid to be part of the funeral procession

All dressed up, and lead around the other mourners

All very overly formal

[graceful lava]

Imagine being a professional crier

[copper granite]

the real move is to hire 15 men in suits to pretend to be mafia at your funeral

[graceful lava]

"So it says here on your resume you cry yourself to sleep every night. I look forward to our business together!"

[sullen swift]

Earth - Rare
Have no idea what it would do, but I do plan on it being a set with other Element-Suit Jokers

[copper granite]

diamon

[granite fable]

Mute Joker
Gain $1 when a hand containing a face card is discarded

[rocky sorrel]

lil canio

[graceful lava]

That's just faceless but better

[rocky sorrel]

that exact thing is in aotd lol

little canio

[granite fable]

I forgot about faceless

[graceful lava]

I got one

[rocky sorrel]

everyone does

faceless is just outclassed by mail in

[copper granite]

truly

[worldly glen]

is "makes it more likely to draw cards similar to the ones in your hand" a decent effect idea for a joker

[rocky sorrel]

hell code

[graceful lava]

Mute Joker
This joker gains +10 mult every time you beat a blind on your last hand (currently +0)

[granite fable]

Nice

[copper granite]

acrobat synergy

10 might be a but much though

[rocky sorrel]

not really

[worldly glen]

trust

[graceful lava]

Yeah cause think about how regularly that would scale

[rocky sorrel]

you're paying 4 or so dollars for 10 mult scaling

[granite fable]

Mute Joker
Gain $3 when another Joker is sold

[rocky sorrel]

maybe not that

[graceful lava]

Thats actually not a bad idea

[rocky sorrel]

much

[graceful lava]

Ok how about +5 then

[copper granite]

probably too little

[rocky sorrel]

i mean thats just grimbo at that point

[graceful lava]

Ok goldilocks lol

[rocky sorrel]

i think 10 is fine

[rocky sorrel]

lmfaoo

[graceful lava]

How about +8

[copper granite]

thats just right

[graceful lava]

Bruh

[copper granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky sorrel]

maybe 1+ mult for every card held in hand for no reason

[graceful lava]

Huh?

[rocky sorrel]

idk i just saw "lust" from bunco and remembered that

[graceful lava]

Wait wait wait

[copper granite]

that could've been the gimmick for raised fist

[granite fable]

Too convoluted

[graceful lava]

I have an idea

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but for something else maybe

[granite fable]

True

[rocky sorrel]

gains 1 mult for every card left in hand end of round

[granite fable]

Hand size and Serpent synergy

[rocky sorrel]

outpaces...

wow literally anything

even uncommons

huh.

[graceful lava]

Mute Joker
Earn +5$ when you add a stone card to your deck

[copper granite]

marble joker fans celebrating worldwide

[rocky sorrel]

add specifically?

or transform too

[graceful lava]

Both yes

[rocky sorrel]

ah

[granite fable]

I don’t get the theming

[graceful lava]

Cause I thought maybe stone cards could be connected to burials

Like you're burying them under stone

Idk

[copper granite]

stone?

[granite fable]

Ig

[graceful lava]

Or gravestones

[rocky sorrel]

theming seems weak

[copper granite]

gravestones makes more sense but yeah idk about that one

[graceful lava]

Gravestones makes more sense actually

Yeah

[granite fable]

They aren’t directly related to gravestones tho

[graceful lava]

Funerals have graves

Ok fine how about this

[copper granite]

gravestones come after funerals so its eh

[graceful lava]

Mute Joker
When a card is destroyed, transform it into a stone card instead

[granite fable]

But they’re not responsible for that part

They just cry when people die

[graceful lava]

But they're crying at the grave are they not

[rocky sorrel]

he kills people???

[copper granite]

some could say they enhance a funeral

[graceful lava]

enhance huh

[granite fable]

Mult scaling when jokers are sold?

Or when cards are destroyed?

[graceful lava]

Erosion

[granite fable]

So not when cards are destroyed

[copper granite]

I like how nevernamed can quickly pop in to post a joker, leave and this chat will plan ideas for it for the next 20 minutes

[granite fable]

Sold jokers?

[graceful lava]

Sold jokers might be smarter

I do honestly like the sound of just simply "sold jokers give an extra 3 bucks"

[granite fable]

Exactly?

[copper granite]

is selling really as impactful as destroying normal cards though, just thematically

[granite fable]

Or is it tacked on?

[graceful lava]

Fixed it

[granite fable]

How about destroyed jokers?

Too niche?

[copper granite]

tooo niche

[graceful lava]

You don't destroy jokers lol

I mean I guess madness and dagger do

[granite fable]

Madness and dagger

[copper granite]

some jokers enable it

[graceful lava]

But like

[granite fable]

Yeah

[copper granite]

but

nah

[graceful lava]

No that's way too niche

I think selling jokers works

Cause it's like they're crying over the passing away of the joker

Wait

Hang on

What if we added to that

[copper granite]

I guess the player is technically casting their death

[graceful lava]

Ok wait

I have a really weird idea

Mute Joker
While this joker is in your disposal, selling a joker will prevent it from ever returning to the shop

[copper granite]

I feel like a more malicious joker would fit that idea, its cool though

[granite fable]

Like Ortalab’s crime scene?

[graceful lava]

I guess so

Ok so how about it's just simply +1 mult when you sell a joker or something

[granite fable]

Slightly weaker Crime Scene, I mean

[granite fable]

Imo it should be chips

Obviously, more than +1

[graceful lava]

Hmm... I guess chips could work

How about +5 chips for every sold Joker

[granite fable]

Blue is a muted colour, and it’s the colour of tears

[graceful lava]

That's true

Its also just in general a very sad color

[thin bloom]

wip

[granite fable]

We could also tie it to sell value

More Egg and Gift Card synergy

[graceful lava]

Woah that's cool

[granite fable]

Richer people can hire more mourners

[graceful lava]

So it's like a musical joker then right

[thin bloom]

kinda

[graceful lava]

To go with your musical stuff consumables right

[thin bloom]

yeah

[rocky sorrel]

i thought he was pogging and then i thought he was doing the DK mouth

[graceful lava]

You could make one based on a conductor

Give em like a powdered wig and a tuxedo

[thin bloom]

note taken

[graceful lava]

Heh, note

Oh that's a good point, a Note Card

[thin bloom]

ba dun tss

[graceful lava]

Wait that's probably what all your consumables are called huh, Note Cards

Or am I wrong

[thin bloom]

aberration cards

dumb name i know

[graceful lava]

Just make a note card that's like one of those shitty flash cards you get at the Michaels

That could be a funny joker

[wicked token]

Bank Card
Gives $1 per joker held at end of round

[graceful lava]

That's a simple but effective ability

[copper granite]

credit card and bank card should fight it out

[thin bloom]

evil stencil be like

[graceful lava]

Abstract joker just found a new friend

[wicked token]

Or should it be called debit card?

[graceful lava]

"Yo I love stalking jokers too! What? Oh, oh you just make money off them? T- That's um... Uhuh..."

Also I like that you made it expire already but for this year lol

[wicked token]

Inspiration from drivers licence lol

[rocky sorrel]

gold joker but like

[graceful lava]

Exactly lol

[thin bloom]

what should the bg for this guy be

[rocky sorrel]

slightly better until you get negatives

[graceful lava]

Oh that's a good point isn't it

[rocky sorrel]

then it becomes kinda alright

[graceful lava]

I didn't even think about gold joker

[thin bloom]

econ joker rule 1

[graceful lava]

What's that

[thin bloom]

"why would i take this over gold joker"

[wicked token]

Negative cards

[graceful lava]

I mean to be fair yeah negative cards

[wicked token]

Also the cash earned includes itself

[graceful lava]

Unless you're doing black deck

[thin bloom]

i guess like yeah its in reverse in this case

[rocky sorrel]

yeah but like

not guaranteed

[graceful lava]

Wait

Does the Bank Card count itself

[granite fable]

It doesn’t say “other”

[wicked token]

Yes

[granite fable]

So it should

[graceful lava]

So 5 bucks

Congrats you are officially one dollar better than gold joker

[rocky sorrel]

1 more than golden joker in 99% of situations

[wicked token]

Well I thought $2 per joker was too much

[graceful lava]

I mean...

Yeah

I was thinking about that

[granite fable]

Same at worst in Painted
Better at best in Black
Much better at best with Negatives

[graceful lava]

But no it couldn't be 2 per joker

What if

I have an idea

[wicked token]

…?

[rocky sorrel]

not better at best because -1 hand is -1$

[wicked token]

#1341641697142116352 the thing is here

[rocky sorrel]

literaly the same lmfao

[granite fable]

In terms of the joker itself

[graceful lava]

Bank Card
At the end of each blind, adds the sell value of a random joker to your $

[granite fable]

And in comparison with gold jokers

[rocky sorrel]

i think thays cooler

[graceful lava]

And if you wanted, you could make the bank card randomly choose itself and it's 0

[granite fable]

Gift card bank card synergy

[graceful lava]

Exactly

[sullen swift]

Water & Air

[wicked token]

Ok ill do this

[graceful lava]

Well hang on

Prototype! Translate!

... please

[thin bloom]

full thing

[graceful lava]

That's really cool

[granite fable]

Bank Card
Gain $ equal to the sell value of a random joker at end of blind

I think?

Wait

Bank Card
Gives the sell value of a random Joker at end of round

[graceful lava]

Yeah that works

[wicked token]

.?.?.?.?

[granite fable]

Lol

I’m the translator now

[graceful lava]

Here you go

[wicked token]

Wdym prototype and translate?

[graceful lava]

Ironic that prototype is the one that turns my prototypes into the final version

[graceful lava]

I was telling Prototype to turn my complex wording into something simpler

[granite fable]

That’s what the Post is for

[wicked token]

Ohh

[granite fable]

Prefix for after

[graceful lava]

This is a better description

[wicked token]

Dw i got it

[granite fable]

Thanks

I based it off Temperance for consistency

[graceful lava]

What does dw mean I've never bothered to actually find out

[granite fable]

Don’t worry?

[gaunt osprey]

ingame + new ability

[graceful lava]

Well how am I gonna figure it out if I don't worry about it

[graceful lava]

Huh interesting

[wicked token]

Ye

[graceful lava]

Be happy?

[gaunt osprey]

the phrase "dw" is usually used as slang for the term "Don't worry," a phrased used to reassure someone or tell them a situation is not as serious as precieved.

[graceful lava]

You know what to be fair this does give improvement to two of the worst enhancements in the game

So anything to do that is really nice

[gaunt osprey]

i didn't really think about htat

[copper granite]

Ok originally I had a custom joker that was gonna be econ but now I want it to buff stone cards

[gaunt osprey]

i just thought those enhancements gave cards a sense of anonymity

[snow harbor]

ayo the stone card play

[rocky sorrel]

seems kinda uninspired

[granite fable]

I like it

[graceful lava]

It's a perfect coincidence

[snow harbor]

shame theres not a stone card retrigger joker

[graceful lava]

Why would you want that

[gaunt osprey]

big chip

[rocky sorrel]

if only someone would make a joker that gives money on triggered stone cards

dreamy sigh

[snow harbor]

dolar

[granite fable]

Like a Miner Joker or something?

[graceful lava]

If only there was a joker that turned face cards into stone cards
siiiigh

[rocky sorrel]

or some sort of... construction type joker...

[graceful lava]

What would the design even be I wonder

Hmmmmm

[rocky sorrel]

maybe some sort of joker wearing a hard hat...

if only...

[gaunt osprey]

Alchemist - if first hand is a single stone card, destroy the card and give 10 dollars

[graceful lava]

If only there was a card that turned stone cards into gold cards after being scored

[copper granite]

not playing mods makes joker conceptualizing so much easier bro

[rocky sorrel]

inscryption prospector headass

[graceful lava]

I know right

Like honestly how do people enjoy Cryptid

[rocky sorrel]

THARS GOLD IN THEMR CARRRRRDS

[graceful lava]

You spend more time in the damn shop looking through tags than actually playing hands

[gaunt osprey]

Rags to riches - Turns played stone cards into gold cards if hand is played with over $25

[graceful lava]

I was thinking more like a miner

But that works too

[rocky sorrel]

"oh good! a stone card! now i can get rid of it!"

[copper granite]

canio to faces

[gaunt osprey]

i mean if you do a miner it could be a chance to strike gold or a chance to add another stone card

[graceful lava]

Jackhammer
Stone cards are turned into Jacks of a random suit after being scored

[gaunt osprey]

that could be interesting

[graceful lava]

Ooh that's a good point

It's like Marble but... With gold

Sometimes

[gaunt osprey]

or maybe like

[granite fable]

There’s a modded card that simultaneously treats Stone cards like Steel and Gold

[graceful lava]

That's cool

[granite fable]

Dwarven Joker or something

[graceful lava]

Once Upon a Time...
+7 mult for every dwarf planet card used

And it's like a ripped out book of a fairy tale

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-агаповерил-gif-27009975

Aww they didn't have him come out

That's... More annoying then it should be

[gaunt osprey]

if only there were more wild card jokers....

[raw crown]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-somebody-toilet-hi-gif-17332899

[gaunt osprey]

sigh....

[graceful lava]

If only my wife was still a wild card...

Sigh...

[rocky sorrel]

something abt 1$ per suit in scored card

[graceful lava]

I did come up with something kinda similar

It was for my historical figures one

[granite fable]

Outhouse
Full Houses and Flushes are also each other

[graceful lava]

Marie Curie
X1.5 for every unique enhancement in played hand

Man I really oughta start getting into pixel art

[dense current]

How about a joker called: "Fab Joker" and every four of a kind formed with face cards gives you like x2 or +25 mult

[copper granite]

I think that benefits the meta too much

[granite fable]

What’s this based on?

[gaunt osprey]

Miner - if first hand is a single stone card,
1 in 2 chance to give $20
1 in 2 chance to do nothing
destroys card

[copper granite]

why prepare a colour palette when you can just

[gaunt osprey]

i just took the balatro joker spritesheet and colorpick from there

[granite fable]

Outhouse
X4 if hand is Flush House

[copper granite]

I usually just copy random parts of jokers I need over

[granite fable]

I don’t think you need two RNG statements

If the first doesn’t trigger, it’s assumed the second will

Otherwise Oops! All 6s gives a 2 in 2 chance of gaining money and a 2 in 2 chance of doing nothing

[copper granite]

I think its funny that this channel has a pinned message from localthunk where he gives tips on fan jokers and how "The colour palette is set" but like there are so so many random colours thrown in specific jokers that aren't used again

[rocky sorrel]

@snow harbor

[snow harbor]

huh

[rocky sorrel]

raining metal oa6

[snow harbor]

mmmmmmm

yeah just dont have the 1 in 2 to do nothing, its implied

this isnt something that warrents something like raining metal's implementation

[rocky sorrel]

i just remembered how the design brainstorm went

[snow harbor]

ye fair enough

[dense current]

I made a quick mock up on how i'd look like (Yeah, its a beatles reference)

[sullen swift]

https://www.tumblr.com/gayteensupreme/688498179368501248/im-at-the-miner-cemetery-im-at-the-haunted-clown
guys I might have an idea

Can’t do it right now, so it’s up for grabs

Balatro has poisoned my mind so much that my first thought upon seeing a clown is “Balatro reference?”

[wicked token]

lol

[stiff plinth]

Added two more jokers to the Panorama set for paperback

[wicked token]

Uh oh

[harsh lantern]

love the trans colors

whether it was intentional or not

[granite fable]

It’s also just a nice palette in general

I’m a sucker for this pastel

[hushed moss]

firch is fuming rn

[teal island]

Dim Bulb

[raw hare]

Lmao

[wraith garden]

Make this one have a gros michel/cavendish -like interaction and swap it for LED bulbs when it finally dies out

or maybe a reference to the centennial light

[harsh lantern]

took me like 30 minutes to beat gold stake on ghost vs the hours it took for orange

[wicked token]

Mt. Joker
Common
Gains +25 chips if played hand is high card

And it has to be specifically high card, NOT if it contains one

[harsh lantern]

just realized the channel im in

oops

i thought it was a jojo reference :c

Lots of things have no connections to jokers

To do list

I have an idea

[copper granite]

only jokers can experience the advanced physics concept of Super Position

[teal island]

Shortcut:

[copper granite]

what is the joker link to Shortcut

God damn someone else sniped it

[wicked token]

Oh my god it has the word joker but has nothing to do with joker lets take it out of the game until you put a joker face on it

[teal island]

Joka face

You're the one making a big deal out of it and calling everyone else stupid

[copper granite]

Look closer and you'll see jimbo staring back at you

[wicked token]

Thats crazy

[neon scarab]

things heating up in the joker fandom

[copper granite]

Relax bro localthunk literally did that with a banana twice

[wicked token]

And just a random ass bowl of ramen

[teal island]

Welcome to Balatro

[wicked token]

The mountains fine

Ill add a joker if that make u happy

[granite fable]

?

[teal island]

Put a joker falling off the mountain top to his death

[neon scarab]

add a tiny dude climbing it

[granite fable]

Balatro lore?

[wicked token]

U read my mind

[rich tusk]

What are your methods for reproducing Balatro's style? I have a hard time keeping the same

[copper granite]

colour palette top priority

[stiff plinth]

Anyway moving on from all that.

👆

[copper granite]

pick out good colours from already existing jokers and then just work from there

[wicked token]

But if im gonna add jimbo climbing it I need his body
