[flat moat]

gambling 2.0

[magic sierra]

as long as its spectral

[livid hazel]

lol its basically 1x mult on average

[magic sierra]

fire

[shadow pivot]

its a shard

[shadow maple]

look i just wanted to do a stupid joke with like mary and jesus

dont think too hard about game design

[magic sierra]

oh ye no worries

didnt mean to be critical about it

i just think about it all the time mb

[languid otter]

only way to win black deck gold stake

[shadow pivot]

a new type of consumables

[magic sierra]

huh

well then i cant comment on the balance

[shadow pivot]

they are really rare

[magic sierra]

how rare is rare

[shadow pivot]

only one in consumable slot

[magic sierra]

wdym

[flat moat]

mad joker 2.0

[magic sierra]

decent

[bold rover]

Madness Abridged?

[shy yacht]

Destroys all jokers...when...

begins to smoke a pipe inquisitively

[flat moat]

start of round

[magic sierra]

oh it destroys itself!

[shy yacht]

Do shop jokers get destroyed...do jokers in the collection get destroyed...

What...is destruction...?

[flat moat]

oh right

lemme fix that

[shadow pivot]

they cant spawn if one is in consumable slot

[magic sierra]

are they
rarer than spectral

[shadow pivot]

and they cost 10$

[bold rover]

why is destruction?

VSauce music kicks in

[shadow pivot]

yes like 2x negative rarity

[shadow pivot]

haha

[magic sierra]

mm

then its probably fine

[shadow pivot]

phew

[magic sierra]

but

its a permanent effect?

[flat moat]

fixed

[shadow pivot]

this ante

[magic sierra]

oh then its weak as fuck

[shadow pivot]

ohh??

has all free rerolls?

[magic sierra]

Idk

[wicked glacier]

It depends on how easy it is to get

[magic sierra]

0.2% chance i think

[wicked glacier]

But just looking at the effect, it’s pretty strong

Ah

[magic sierra]

half of rate of negative jokers

[wicked glacier]

Yeah maybe not then 😭

Its strong but not that strong with .2%

Imo

[magic sierra]

All free rerolls would be powerful ye

[magic sierra]

but then the booster pack option feels a bit meh

[shadow pivot]

so all free rerolls, free overstock and 2 bonus boosters?

[magic sierra]

Feels too bloated now

is this mod meant to be vanilla-friendly?

[shadow pivot]

all rerolls and +2 interest

[shadow pivot]

kinda

[magic sierra]

Design or balance wise

[low steeple]

That is a lot of stuff for just one consumable

[magic sierra]

thats what im sayin

[low steeple]

especially for a whole ante

[magic sierra]

Generally in balatro each card has ONE upside

[low steeple]

not to mention flash card gets inf mult here

[shadow pivot]

ok hear me out, interest is quintupled

[low steeple]

red card gets buffed even more

[magic sierra]

that sounds good imo

[low steeple]

for the whole ante?

[magic sierra]

since its one effect and is powerful

[low steeple]

or is this just one round

[magic sierra]

ante

[shadow pivot]

so for every 5$, you get 4 $

[magic sierra]

i assume

[shadow pivot]

yes

[flat moat]

decided

[low steeple]

thats not what quintupled means

you mean quadrupled

[shadow pivot]

i need to change that but it was too op

[magic sierra]

but ye 4x interest seems good

[shadow pivot]

Shard of Greed: X4 Interest for this Ante.

[flat moat]

tada

[flat moat]

dna upgraded

[shadow pivot]

Vinyl Album: This Joker gains X0.25 Mult for every discarded golden card.

[magic sierra]

cool but its kinda boring since its just a direct upgrade

[flat moat]

thats what everyone voted for?

[magic sierra]

thats fair

[orchid skiff]

isnt this just upgraded jokers

like what did you expect

[flat moat]

no this is more than just upgrading jokers

[magic sierra]

could give the copy of the card an enhancement

[flat moat]

im just upgrading them

[flat moat]

OOOOOOOO

[magic sierra]

sorry, edition

[shy yacht]

what edition is that

is sorry better than polychrome

[flat moat]

works infinitly now

ledgendary tho

is 2 copies too much

[magic sierra]

ye that's cool

as legendary? nah

[magic sierra]

Oh EACH hand

[flat moat]

wish there was epic is reg balatro

[magic sierra]

thats nice

[flat moat]

ok so now its 1 copy but it works every hand

[surreal grove]

this is honestly fine

[surreal grove]

that's also fine

[flat moat]

u mean fine or 🔥

[magic sierra]

i think this is better if its each hand

[flat moat]

oh fine

[flat moat]

if first hand then 2 copies

[magic sierra]

nah that's too complex

[flat moat]

lol

[magic sierra]

pretty much from what i can see in base balatro, besides chicot, legendary jokers have a powerful, game carrying effect that you have to build around

its not instantly useful

[flat moat]

like this?

[magic sierra]

Yeah, cause you still need to deck fix

Like for example Triboulet wants you to build in a way to play specific cards

Yorick wants discards

Perkeo wants repeatable consumables

Canio wants no face cards

So valid things to build around for legendary jokers could be, say, want you to play certain hand types

[misty tiger]

speaking of fanart

[magic sierra]

silly

[surreal grove]

I love this

[distant surge]

the plant (happened to bro)

[surreal grove]

glass card mime build

[misty tiger]

world record for most broken glass

[surreal grove]

add glass joker to it too

and blueprint DNA

[worldly glen]

would mischief + baron + mime just be the best build possibel

[magic sierra]

probably

[surreal grove]

the only downside is the amount of cards you'd lose each hand

[magic sierra]

mhm

[bold rover]

That is cursed and hilarious at the same time lol

[low steeple]

you could pair it with the Ship of Theseus from extra credit, where every destroyed card gets readded to the deck

and a hologram, just cuz why not

[magic sierra]

ship of theseus is such a fun card idea

[low steeple]

i had an idea for something like it but extra credit beat me to the punch 💔

[surreal grove]

ship of theseus does help with the deck's main problem

[worldly glen]

what if you had bluebrain

[surreal grove]

with DNA, maybe, but even then, doesn't help a whole lot

[drifting plaza]

W

[brisk rune]

it was a really good idea lol

[burnt sable]

kinda looks like pelo

[distant surge]

my oc its ... kinda based in him

[burnt sable]

i understand it now

[distant surge]

here is my oc btw (its name ist grommy)

(its autistic and silly)

[burnt sable]

hi grommy

[misty tiger]

hi grommy

[distant surge]

hi there

[magic sierra]

HI GROMMY

[distant surge]

here are more grommys (for a angry birds epic inspired Rpg im brainstoming)

(kinda)

[surreal grove]

very cool, I love the art style

[distant surge]

thx

[winged phoenix]

Hello all, im a fairly recent balatro player and have an idea for some elden ring themed joker concepts. I was wondering if I could get some tips and tricks on how to make custom joker designs.

[distant surge]

@winged phoenix

read the pinned messeges here

[winged phoenix]

ah, thank you!

so is it done in photoshop?

[empty juniper]

Extra Credit's Ship of Theseus is like the only good "protects glass" joker I've seen lol

Not good from necessarily a gameplay sense, but overall good from a design perspective

[brisk rune]

what does it do?

[worldly canyon]

I NEED

[distant surge]

i personally use aseprite but its also useful

[winged phoenix]

ah gotcha, thank you very much!

so any pixel art tool would work then?

[distant surge]

yup

[winged phoenix]

gotcha, im relatively new to doing art and i'm hoping to share some creations 😄

[distant surge]

a good tip i can give you for starting at this its, dont try to make all be perfect, sometimes a little intentional mistakes can give it all a amazing look

or idk im not the god of pixel art but its helped me a little to improve over time

[mellow granite]

ANGRY BIRDS EPIC MENTIONED!!!!!!!!

also shit's so good not even tacos can be compared with it 🔥🔥🔥

[tiny jacinth]

I drew high quality sixth sense

[nocturne cosmos]

That sixth sense must be sharp af

[distant surge]

i love ABE it was the best rpg ive ever played

who knows you final fantasy

jk

[winged phoenix]

thank you very much for your tips, its good to know what people are using and i also like your concepts

[distant surge]

its a pleasure :3

[worldly holly]

@teal island this might be my favorite joker ever

[sand burrow]

Blind template thing I made

I forgot to make higher quality ver

[sturdy kiln]

are these mutually exclusive

[worldly holly]

anyone got the original meme of this

[worldly holly]

babe wake up balatrophobia jsut dropped

[surreal grove]

yes

[low steeple]

no need, just upscale by 2x without any interpolation

[sand burrow]

?

[low steeple]

most image editing software allows increasing the scale of your current canvas and whatever is contained within it

[sand burrow]

Oh

I already know

It's just that I forgot

I read "by" as "my"

Omg my brain is not working again

[empty juniper]

I forget exactly, but it's like

"Whenever a card is destroyed, shuffle a copy of it into your deck and this gains X0.2 mult"

[brisk rune]

so a protect glass (plus fuck hanged man) with an added xmult

seems logic yeah

that's probably how I would have went too tbh (maybe without the mult but idk)

[sturdy kiln]

sixth sense x this yaoi

[brisk rune]

😭

[low steeple]

mult is kind of necessary because it makes deck fixing almost impossible

if you cant fix you might aswell scale

[brisk rune]

I though that was the drawback from having invincible cards already

but eh, I don't know much about that game's balance anyway

[empty juniper]

I assume the mult is there to make up for the massive downside of no deck fixing

[low steeple]

invincible cards matters a lot less than you would think

[balmy shuttle]

Te te te te te teto

[low steeple]

you have essentially banned trading card, hanged man and immolate

[empty juniper]

Invincible cards matters a lot, just not positively lol

Glass cards being invincible is a bonus symptom

Since deck thinning is such a powerful strategy

[brisk rune]

alrighty then

[sturdy kiln]

i think invincible cards are almost balanced

because all the jokers that gain from destroying cards/give things only when cards are destroyed (canio, glass joker, sixth sense, etc) synergize really well

so i do think the mult gain could be x0.1

[low steeple]

i assure you that losing out on deck fixing matters a lot more than losing out on a sixth sense proc

[sturdy kiln]

then again it is pretty uncommon to destroy cards

[empty juniper]

Yeah, i forget the exact specifics in Extra Credit

[humble ermine]

the humble trading card:

[sturdy kiln]

that is one of the 150 jokers

this is why it is uncommon to destroy cards

[sullen swift]

i mean trading card is uncommon

[magic sierra]

im sorry

[surreal grove]

I don't get it

[snow harbor]

same

[magic sierra]

osu reference

[small plover]

If you play a hand that scores 80085 chips gain 80085 chips

[surreal grove]

lmao

[magic sierra]

the reference is that the performance points score of 727 was the world record for a while and for some reason it was tied several times afaik

the first map to get that score got a 2355 combo

[odd flame]

I need some help, I'm drawing my own set of cards for a homemade balatro, but I can't draw face cards, is there a simpler design anyone can think of for kings queens and jacks?

Maybe a crown for king, but besides that idk

Scepter for queen!!

Jacks...

What would a jack be

[sturdy kiln]

😨

[odd flame]

Sad?

Maybe

I have crown, scepter, and what ...

[burnt sable]

im gonna get you

[odd flame]

No...

Something else

[odd kindle]

*Mad Dubz [Common] *

• This Joker gains +5 Mult when a Joker is destroyed (currently +0 Mult)
  based off the artist of the same name

[magic sierra]

hehe

[odd kindle]

i'm really enjoying making these bass music themed jokers

i wanna try and come up with consumables as well

[sturdy kiln]

this almost never scales

[odd kindle]

should i bump it up to like

+15

[sturdy kiln]

it could just be sold

or destroyed

because like

hex
ankh
madness
ceremonial dagger

[odd kindle]

food jokers as well

[sturdy kiln]

true

[odd kindle]

i like the idea of it being destroyed only

so i'll just bump up the mult amount till it feels right

which +15 would prob be good

maybe +20

i'm gonna go in the middle and say 17

[odd flame]

DAGGER

The jack

Can be a dagger

[odd kindle]

what

[odd flame]

Ok so

Uploading image

[rotund lynx]

a bit strange idea i had of a halftone joker ^^

[magic sierra]

Love it

[odd flame]

I'm drawing cards, and I can't draw faces, so I'm simplifying the face cards

I have king and queen, but jack I couldn't think

But a dagger works well!

With the suit as the pommel

King is the crown, queen is the scepter

Now I just have to draw a dagger, which could cause some trouble :>

[heavy flare]

Exactly 80085 chips

[small plover]

Yes, the illusion wouldn't be correct otherwise

[odd flame]

Hehehe >:)

(it's uploading)

[heavy flare]

Lotion for jack?

[odd flame]

Nope!

Twas the humble dagger >:) here's all of diamonds!

Now for the other suits :>

The suit is in the pommel

[heavy flare]

The ace should be a picture of me because I’m sick of relationships frfr

[dense atlas]

What do you guys think of this? it's designed to look like a to go menu

[severe radish]

i love it

perhaps round the corners

[mint perch]

i think it would be cooler if the first letters of the menu formed JOKER :3

[severe radish]

assuming its a food joker thing

[mint perch]

but referencing the food jokers r cool too

[severe radish]

that may be hard/impossible

if he wants to keep the names there

[dense atlas]

yeah, the food items listed are all the vanilla food jokers

with the exception that i renamed egg to boiled egg

[severe radish]

you could write it as Egg (Boiled)

[dense atlas]

oooooh that's a cool idea

[surreal grove]

the most x1.5 Mult you've ever seen

[dense atlas]

ooh that's a good idea

[severe radish]

i searched 1.5 and theres 4 gifs of a random character

and sans

[dense atlas]

the anime girl with boxing gloves?

[severe radish]

yes

shes not even wearing thenm

https://tenor.com/view/spathodea-reverse-1999-flammy-gif-8428950478498181181

flammy?

oh its from a game called reverse 1999

its very positively reviewed

93% positive

and its a gacha game

its gotta be pretty well made and fair then rght

well gacha shit isnt my jam

anyways back to fanart

[surreal grove]

what do you think of Aperion

[severe radish]

ONE POINT FIVE

[surreal grove]

sadly I couldn't make it say 1.5 1.5 times

[dense atlas]

ok, how does this look

[sturdy kiln]

peak with aj

[surreal grove]

aj?

[sturdy kiln]

ancient joker

[surreal grove]

oh

yee def

[surreal grove]

I love it, very awesome

[heavy flare]

Eggs price is much higher

[shy yacht]

looks neat, but you seem to be mixeling

[sturdy kiln]

itd be really funny if you made egg cost like $45

[sacred obsidian]

The current state of egg prices in America

[surreal grove]

real

[heavy flare]

47 to be accurate

[rain salmon]

the second joker looks like porco rosso's plane

[sacred obsidian]

They all really do look good in game, I was going to begin working on something like that

[severe radish]

lovely

[timid sapphire]

I love these

They are beautiful

[sturdy kiln]

Meaningless Jester (Uncommon): x0.1 Mult for each Jester card in the game

[dense atlas]

thanks

[open sail]

”in the game” as in?

[sturdy kiln]

as in 150

[open sail]

oh

so 15x mult

[sturdy kiln]

its just x15 mult

[surreal grove]

isn't that like x15.1 Mult?

[open sail]

thats fucking oveepowered.

[sturdy kiln]

yeah

[orchid skiff]

insert cryptid joker to compare it to

[sturdy kiln]

im making a mod where all of the jokers are about 4x better so yeah

[open sail]

i was just thinking “thats the point” lol

you said you had like a spreadsheet or smth of it?

[sturdy kiln]

word doc but yeah

[open sail]

like all the jokers/jesters

yea

do you have it on you?

[sturdy kiln]

yeah one sec

[sturdy kiln]

shouldve said most here

[open sail]

oh ty

[sturdy kiln]

some of them are more unbalanced on purpose

here they are (havent put some of their rarities yet)

[open sail]

ty

again, if you need help with art im ur guy

[sturdy kiln]

alr

[surreal grove]

I read "gay" instead of "guy"

[granite fable]

Makes sense

[misty tiger]

im ur gay

[open sail]

im gay

[visual widget]

Can you make it so I’m not so buns at art 💔

[open sail]

for ur mod?

[visual widget]

I don’t really have a mod. I’m just practicing, as I’m new to coding in general. But yes

I have an idea for a joker

And it’s fire. I just can’t seem to draw it

[open sail]

i can do that!

[visual widget]

You can make me better at pixel art?

[open sail]

yuhh

can we do it tmrw though? im getting sleepy

[visual widget]

Sure! I’m gonna add you if that’s alright

[gusty fox]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-wtf-gif-wtf-meme-wtf-face-cat-gif-16416543849474253532

[severe radish]

references help a lot for me

i suck at art but with reference i can kinda do stuff

[thorn tapir]

YIPPEE HES REAL

[heavy flare]

[thorn tapir]

YIPPEE THANK YOH SO MUCH

[last stirrup]

i havent um arted in a while heres ammonite fossil guy?

[severe radish]

update on okajimbo

[sturdy kiln]

Gambler’s Fallacy (Uncommon): Earn $7 per discard if less than 10 cards were discarded

[languid otter]

wall street joker that costs a 1/5 of your money but gains 1 dollar of sell value every 5 dollars earned and vice versa

[sturdy kiln]

wdym vice versa

[languid otter]

if you lose 5 dollars it's -1 sell value

[sturdy kiln]

oh

unrelated but hack uses so many colors what

[granite fable]

If less than 10 cards…throughout the game?

[sturdy kiln]

fair

[granite fable]

Either that or per hand, is what I understood

[distant surge]

small question: it needs to be EXACTTLY 1.5 mult or anything higher ?

[granite fable]

Probably exactly

Otherwise it should specify

[rotund lynx]

Pff my ass really looked at this and was like "woah palette joker thats so unique!"

[surreal grove]

Exact

[distant surge]

Damm, thats a little ... specific

[granite fable]

What if it was “multiple”

[surreal grove]

Consider steel cards and polychrome

[distant surge]

Yeah, but steel cards only work in your hanf

So tecnically they are not scoring

Ergo

[surreal grove]

Ah

True

[distant surge]

The only way to level the joker up

[surreal grove]

Should fix that

[distant surge]

Its with polychrome cards

[granite fable]

Gains X1.5 Mult per time a card gives a multiple of X1.5 Mult

[granite fable]

Oh

[surreal grove]

what do you think?

[golden oyster]

Travel Card: Rusted Poster

[random berry]

Baseball Card go BRRRR

[surreal grove]

so true

[random berry]

This is really good also

Fantastic work

[golden oyster]

thank you!!

anyome got the reference?

[magic sierra]

PRETTY

[golden oyster]

this ones a bit more niche i think

[granite fable]

I like it

[random berry]

Kinda wish it was the “Gambler’s always quit before they hit it but meme” but nonetheless very good

[magic sierra]

Has anyone done a card based on this yet

[random berry]

For reference:

[random berry]

No but I definitely should tbh

[golden oyster]

btw, this is the reference

[surreal grove]

I own that game on my switch

[golden oyster]

its soooo good

[granite fable]

Holy shit

[golden oyster]

i still grab the ost from time to time to vibe

[granite fable]

I love that game

The gameplay was fine

[golden oyster]

target audience found

[granite fable]

But the story and the soundtrack is where it really shines

But I think I only got the game because I was really bad for Kay for some reason at the time tbh

[golden oyster]

i could take both of them on

[surreal grove]

in a fight, right? [/j]

[severe radish]

really bad?

like

⬇️?

[granite fable]

Yes

[golden oyster]

:)

[granite fable]

I triggered so many shower scenes I ran out halfway through the game

[surreal grove]

real

[golden oyster]

you can also play as gay right?

i only played before that update tho

[granite fable]

I played the straight couple on my first run tbh

[golden oyster]

honestly they just work

[granite fable]

Yeah

[golden oyster]

i also am not a fan of masc yu

[granite fable]

Male Yu is really irritating to me

Yeah!

He’s way too loud

[golden oyster]

fem kay tho.

[surreal grove]

me with 2 lesbians

[granite fable]

God did not give me the power to appreciate that

[golden oyster]

i thought you were american

[golden oyster]

oh neither did i

but even a lactose intolerant can appreciate some good cheese

[surreal grove]

women pretty

[golden oyster]

fir a brief moment

lesbiab

[graceful lava]

Holy crap this looks amazing

[severe radish]

im trying to piece what this game is about together based on what ur saying and the art

[graceful lava]

If I could suggest one thing

[severe radish]

and i have NO idea

[graceful lava]

You should separate the beverages and foods from each other like how most menus do

[granite fable]

Sci-fi romance on an abandoned planet

[severe radish]

that makes sense

ig i wasnt off

[graceful lava]

I like to think the menu ability would be something like...

[golden oyster]

straight, but somehow in a gay way

[graceful lava]

Menu
Gain a random food joker after defeating a boss blind (must have room)

[golden oyster]

common?

[graceful lava]

Hmm idk I feel like that might be kinda rare material

[gaunt osprey]

that could be good for a fridge too

[graceful lava]

Having a consistent supply of food jokers seems rather powerful

But maybe that's just me

[golden oyster]

nah, its a more specific and less frequent riff raff

[severe radish]

uncommon

[surreal grove]

at least uncommon

[graceful lava]

Ah that's a good point

I mean

Does it being more specific make it worse or better

[severe radish]

the only real good hit is like ramen

idk what else

[golden oyster]

mostbfood jokers are nice so

its decent

[graceful lava]

I'd say it deserves to be an uncommon then

[severe radish]

this would be a joker i might take ante 1

[surreal grove]

ice cream on plasma

[severe radish]

or early ante

[severe radish]

ig

[golden oyster]

fr fr

[graceful lava]

Weird idea

What if they were negative food items

[surreal grove]

make it rare then

[golden oyster]

hhoooooo danger

[graceful lava]

lol okay fair enough

Nah just leave them normal food jokers

I mean keep in mind this thing can give you Cavendish too

Assuming you ate a banana anyways

[random berry]

Not my best attempt but here’s the current work done (not attempting to actually use the official palette obviously, this is more of just a mock-up of what that kind of card could look like.)

[distant surge]

Before calculating the score add half of the chips to your mult
-2 hand sizr

[shy yacht]

I mean that's always the first step when trying to translate a picture to pixel art

Trust me, I'd know

[magic sierra]

But jimbo

[sly saffron]

I could do it

[random berry]

Thats step 2

[granite fable]

I feel like it would generate Spectrals

[magic sierra]

Beginning of each shop you lose 5 bucks and get a spectral card

[granite fable]

(Because Spectrals are literally trade offers)

[random berry]

I can definitely see your reasoning

[sly saffron]

any advice for making jokers

I made a mod that adds a joker and right now im using random placeholder art

[magic sierra]

what part of making jokers

[sly saffron]

The art

I've got the code part down

Somewhat

[magic sierra]

Ah

Uh

I guess it goes without saying and you've probably been told this but practice and experience helps

but ALSO studying the existing cards if you want them to be similar

There is a post from the Thunk himself about Joker design

on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1czo9g0/guidelines_for_joker_design/

Includes mechanical design and art design

[granite fable]

Open a Mini Spectral Pack at start of Ante

It’s only 1 Spectral card to use immediately, but you can skip it

[magic sierra]

I mean
If you're trying to keep the card vanilla best not to add uh
a whole new pack for it

[granite fable]

I didn’t know how else to state it

[magic sierra]

also for a simple effect like that you dont really need a pack

[granite fable]

Only packs have this selection mechanic

[magic sierra]

True

But it just seems unnecessary since you could just give them a random spectral as well

[granite fable]

It could just be a normal pack -1 ig

[granite fable]

Create a Spectral card to use immediately or skip at start of Ante

[sturdy kiln]

hi guys what do you think (im going to kill myself)

[wintry thunder]

youre a hack /lhj i think thats what this is

[granite fable]

Haha

Amongst

[sturdy kiln]

do you believe in the big bang theory or pangrea

[granite fable]

These are two separate things

Aren’t both true?

[sturdy kiln]

its where islands

like the whole world was an island

[granite fable]

Yeah

[sturdy kiln]

that got split into continents

[granite fable]

Pangaea

This is true, I’m pretty sure

[sturdy kiln]

the world is the planet

[worldly canyon]

amog

[odd flame]

YEOUCH spades are heard to draw :(

But!

I have them done

Now, for something much worse

Clubs...

But here's the spades for you

[granite fable]

Cool

I like the face cards here

Also I never noticed that the spades point in opposite directions

[random berry]

Slight update to it.

[granite fable]

Create a Spectral card to use immediately or skip at start of Ante

[sturdy kiln]

do you believe in butter or bread

[granite fable]

How many breads have you eaten in your life?

[sturdy kiln]

i ate 2 croissants today so at least 2

[random berry]

Mmmmm cwoissant

Honestly it would be funny if its effect was does something randomly when sold and the effects range from selling all the other jokers you own, getting a random rare joker, or does nothing.

[granite fable]

But it would have to tell you what they are first

[random berry]

i like this one

[graceful lava]

That is pretty cool

[sturdy kiln]

thanks

[odd kindle]

how's this look for a consumable card?

each consumable would be an icon in the middle

imagine this but pixellated

[sharp patrol]

just made my first joker!
how do people share their jokers like this with the balatro background?

[sturdy kiln]

i dont think this should be rare

uncommon would work i think

its like pareidolia with less synergies but more instant value

[sharp patrol]

to clarify the reddit post is not mine haha, i wanted to share a joker i made with a background like that (balatro game background)

i see people post on reddit with their joker concepts with that background all the time and was wondering how they made it

[sturdy kiln]

ohh

theres probably a template but i wouldnt know sorry

[sharp patrol]

nw thanks anyway!

[sturdy kiln]

thoughts on the joker?

[granite fable]

I think it’s good

[sharp patrol]

thematic connection is from the fact kelsier hates the nobility and so loves discarding face cards

I don't get the reference, but decent/good chip jokers are always appreciated

I'm still so proud of this joker man I'm surprised I was able to code it in at all

[random berry]

Really cool card!

[granite fable]

Neat concept

[gaunt osprey]

I'm thinking of adding multiple questions for each hand to mix it up but that would probably be even harder

[sharp patrol]

wait this is so cool

have you put it up on github?

I was gonna say the left looks better

[sharp patrol]

i like right

[hushed moss]

i rly dont wanna add the people because i suck at ts

these currently dont have stats lol sorry to dissapoint

[severe veldt]

Sheet Cookie

its one of those awful design cookies they get for businesses where its just a solid fondant layer with a design printed on top with a tasteless gingerbred esc cookie

[brisk rune]

ah

[hushed moss]

actually im gonna keep it like this

The Clan
Enhance 1 selected card into a Moss card

[brisk rune]

moss

what da moss doin'

[hushed moss]

gives 0.15x mult for each moss card in played hand (currently 1x)

so with 5 moss cards they all give x1.75

[brisk rune]

neat

[woeful mountain]

Been making my own mod as an addon to Cryptid as of lately, so I drew many Jokers (all of them drawn by me)
CW: Third image has slight blood from a Headless Joker

[severe veldt]

Hint of Lime Joker

• Club Cards held in-hand give 4 Mult
  (first of four Celebrity jokers which feature flashy designs coupled with a signature of the character present)

[neon scarab]

uhhh let me guess the next one

"spade cards held in-hand give 30 chips"

[severe veldt]

same but still 4 mult
all four of these do 4 mult with the held in hand suits

[gaunt osprey]

I'm gonna make an undertale soul joker do I keep the mixels of the original or nah

[severe veldt]

Licorice Joker

• Diamond Cards held in-hand give 4 Mult

[severe veldt]

go for whatever u think is right lol

[neon scarab]

the mixels are too iconic to be removed imo

[surreal grove]

do I see boss blind based jokers?

[woeful mountain]

Yes they are
they are fittingly Cursed Jokers, so they replicate the Boss's effects in Joker form,
to destroy them, you need to do specific actions (Destroy half your spades in your deck, play a level 1 hand 7 times,etc...) or encounter the Boss Blind its based of

[surreal grove]

interesting

[bright jasper]

i always wondered why the heart looked off

[distant surge]

That lucky 7 screams: all lucky cards will always trigger

[toxic linden]

i am bad at music :3

[sturdy kiln]

definitely something thatd be in cryptid

(it already pretty much is)

[distant surge]

Thats op as heck

I love cryptid mod

[woeful mountain]

Its less like that
Every 7 scored has lucky card chances
so it wont be guaranteed
If this joker is rigged, then its guaranteed for every 7 scored, then it becomes broken

[heavy flare]

Okay
What’s the mob spawner do?

[bold rover]

kind of boring idea for Dora:

same ability as Candle, but with Planets

[sturdy kiln]

grossest michel

[heavy flare]

Monch

[surreal grove]

x1.5 Mult. 1 in 10 chance to self destruct. Chance increases by one each blind.

[thin bloom]

+1 million mult or something

[sturdy kiln]

oh yeah i did forget to put the effect

Grossest Michel (Common): x15 Mult | 1 in 6 chance for this Mult to double at the end of round | 1 in 3 chance for this to be destroyed at the end of round

(its the best common i just put it in common so itd appear more)

[sturdy kiln]

[brisk rune]

technically mime since the extreme majority of its usage is with enhanced stuff?

this is a wild card support

(suit supporter)

[cerulean bramble]

yeah but not like golden ticket, steel joker or lucky cat

[umbral solstice]

Arrows are just a regular piece of Author's art

they look oddly similar to Bonus cards arrows

[drowsy bough]

Very cool

[umbral solstice]

So here's 2 ideas:

1. Retrigger each card with a unique suit in played poker hand
2. +1 Mult per scored Club card,
   +3 Chips per scored Spade card,
   +2$ sell value per scored Diamond card,
   one of the above per scored Heart card
   (Currently +0 Mult, +0 Chips)

Rare (obviously)

[drowsy bough]

I think you could get away with bigger values if it’s rare

At least +5 mult and +10 chips

[woeful venture]

I was fully expecting smth spade related ngl

[umbral solstice]

Im just exploring the general concept

numbers are not a priority

[drowsy bough]

Ah ok

[woeful venture]

Like retriggers spades or smth

[umbral solstice]

why?

Ah alr

Havent got there yet

I mean thats not surprising tho, with how fucking big part 8 is

[umbral solstice]

read it in one day lol

[drowsy bough]

Idea, Bonus chips cards are retriggered and gain +10 chips

[umbral solstice]

my favourite so far

I straight up do not believe you

[umbral solstice]

[umbral solstice]

My main idea is Wild card support

as Ive mentioned earlier

[sturdy kiln]

worse hiker

[umbral solstice]

it's 110 I checked

[drowsy bough]

+20 then!!!!

[umbral solstice]

that changes everything...

[sturdy kiln]

worse hiker

[umbral solstice]

nvm...

[drowsy bough]

Oh yeah bc it’s

Mb lol

[umbral solstice]

Is there a more elegant way to word the 2nd effect?

[odd flame]

Ok, so I've made a whole deck of cards, I'm thinking boxes in the corner to symbolise the suit, rank, and enhancements that are on it

[sturdy kiln]

if you want to make it worded as the game would its even longer

[umbral solstice]

yup

wait hold on

what if effects cycle every round

but in that case idk what hearts would do

[sturdy kiln]

"This Joker gains +1 Mult per scored card with Club suit, +3 Chips per scored card with Spade suit, +2$ sell value per scored card with Diamond suit, and +1 Mult, +3 Chips, and +2$ sell value per scored card with Heart suit"

[umbral solstice]

Mb retriggers?

hmmm

[open sail]

each ace of hearts grants +1 retrigger?

only ace

[shadow pivot]

oh right! havent been updating you on Balatro CE

[flat moat]

thoughts?

[odd flame]

Hmmm, I feel like it only works if there's counter parts, kinda like all the gems and stones, onyx, blood, diamond, and agate? I forget what they are, but yeah, if you can think of good things for it's counter parts, it seems pretty good!

[flat moat]

goes with bloodstone, as it has 1 in 2 chance for 1.5x mult on scored heart card

[shadow pivot]

ive also added playing but its kinda buggy

[flat moat]

what if i made this uncommon, and it gets +1 mult per each UNscoring heart card?

[odd flame]

I'm making the tarot's:>

[odd flame]

That would make more sense

[flat moat]

NICE

[odd flame]

Ik it goes with bloodstone, but what I mean by counterpart is a king of diamonds, and king of clubs card, having them do special different things, otherwise I think it's odd just to have the king of hearts as a joker

[flat moat]

oh yeah i was planning that

[odd flame]

Ahh k

Then yeah good card <3

[flat moat]

im thinking to change it

maybe

it could be like a uffed version of the stones

better?

[drowsy bough]

Joker and card don’t need to be highlighted imo but function wise that seems really good

[flat moat]

yes they do

and its also automatic highlighting

so its 100% supposed to be

[sturdy kiln]

card doesnt need to be

[flat moat]

was auto highlighted

too

[sturdy kiln]

bad auto highlighting then

[drowsy bough]

^^

[flat moat]

lol

[sturdy kiln]

joker is highlighted though

[flat moat]

^^^

[drowsy bough]

Look at any instance of “This Joker gains”

[sturdy kiln]

yeah thats what im saying

[drowsy bough]

A word being highlighted isn’t always highlighted

[sturdy kiln]

joker should be highlighted

card shouldnt

[flat moat]

sometimes

inconsistent in the collection tho

some are some arent

[sturdy kiln]

thats playing card

not card

[drowsy bough]

It’s related to the most important info of the cards mechanics

[flat moat]

payout is at end of round

idk how to word that in tho

any ideas

[drowsy breach]

that's busted af

[drowsy bough]

Yeahhh

[flat moat]

ok so then what can i change

pyaout resets and end of round too?

[drowsy bough]

Even if you do per played not scored that’s still a lot

[drowsy breach]

Yeah payout needs to reset and it needs to be per unique scored diamond

That way retriggered diamonds don't skyrocket the payout

[shy yacht]

the most busted thing you can do in balatro is break the economy

[shy yacht]

checkered deck fan spotted

[surreal grove]

incorrect

[shy yacht]

[drowsy bough]

Actually I mean rough gem is uncommon and gives $1 every time a diamond is scored

But if it resets every round there’s no point doing a payout thing hmm

[lament fable]

If hand has 3 or more scoring diamonds

[drowsy bough]

Maybe if hand is only diamonds it adds 1 then the payout happens after a boss blind?

Or make it work with rough gem, log every dollar you gain this round and have it add to the mult of scored diamonds

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but then you wouldn't play your least?

[surreal grove]

oh, it says contains, then just play all but high card, and just play flushes

yeah that works, good luck to play "all" tho

plus, as soon as you play a high card twice, it isn't your least played anymore

could just avoid 3oak instead

then 3oak isn't your least played anymore after playing two of them

but why would I play it? the thing says if it contains, so there's actually a lot of flexability

gonna add a "both are counted as played" or something

alrighty then
