context on the first and third
first one - a bunch of statues, and the monolith that petrified them, sprited by a friend of mine (animatedglitch)
third one - a weird metallomancer character of mine. fucks around with molten gold and his skin is made of silver

[tranquil quail]

it's happening

[tranquil quail]

NICE

[hazy raft]

shhh

[indigo notch]

[hazy raft]

i wanted to use the font on other vanilla spectrals

[indigo notch]

oh makes sense

but make an exception :c

[hazy raft]

wheel was an exception because it's too wide

Slime mold barely fit

[magic nova]

They should make a mod where instead of emulated it should be a tactical nuke

[indigo notch]

cryposting:

[indigo notch]

true

[raw patio]

whell 😭

[hazy raft]

trust

-# i didn't notice that till now

-# it was made late at night

[sand burrow]

M!

What have I done

[magic nova]

It's buietuful

[steel bronze]

with or without red oultine

[magic nova]

With

"I toldaly see the different"

[tranquil quail]

imagine being named bartholomew

[vocal obsidian]

truly

[tranquil quail]

anyways,

the main thing with capsules is that they are very cheap

and thus they serve as a sort of "blind pick" of a card type

kinda made this to intentionally dinky

[vocal obsidian]

right

so like a mini-pack

[tranquil quail]

ya kinda

[vocal obsidian]

thats fun

[tranquil quail]

though i do want to have a voucher that makes capsules have a chance to contain an extra card

[indigo notch]

?

[vocal obsidian]

capsules contain a random card

packs contain several

it's a small pack

[zealous trench]

Me and my friend @atomic orbit are collaborating and revamping!

[clear zinc]

Inscryption mentioned?

[burnt sable]

👃 the smell of inscryption brought me here

[zealous trench]

It’s actually my own OC world, but yes! Very Inscryption coded!

It’s made using a wood cut stamp, since the funding of the town who made these is very low.

[clear zinc]

I actually don't like inscryption outside of chapter 1 and kaycees mod

[zealous trench]

You’re so based for that

[clear zinc]

[zealous trench]

Some polishing

[tranquil quail]

@river condor i love how this turned out--sorry for the ping, just figured you may be interested hehe

[river condor]

oh idc about pings

looks good!!

[tranquil quail]

would you be okay with me making a shape capsule? would that be alright

[river condor]

uh you should do the rest of the entropy consumables first probably

but once you've done those sure!

[tranquil quail]

yeah actually i was debating that--shouldn't be too hard tho :3

will do, then :D

Okay but I wanna show this one early because I'm so proud of this stupid idea

[river condor]

oh that's silly

[zealous trench]

Oh so golden pill TBOI?

[tranquil quail]

BASICALLY YEAH THAT WAS AN INSPIRATION

[zealous trench]

You’re so based for that

[faint skiff]

Capsule Capsule Capsule question mark?

[tranquil quail]

I should mention that the copy is in addition to the random capsule it contains

[river condor]

isn't that obvious

[brisk ember]

Yeah it says additional already

[tranquil quail]

i forgot if i did and was kinda in a rush at the time lol

anyways back to business

[fluid bane]

Yall wanna see the negative version?

Idk if i got it right with the filter but

[urban hull]

Artfight attack for timedyne 👻

[fluid bane]

Peakkkk what

[urban hull]

Eheheh thank youuu

[tranquil quail]

YEAAAAAAAA

[tranquil quail]

pretty omfg :D

[zealous trench]

So it’s not just inverted colors?

[fluid bane]

Nope

[zealous trench]

I must know the secret recipe

[fluid bane]

This is inverted

[zealous trench]

Golden!

[fluid bane]

I did this to achieve negative

[zealous trench]

Somebody go tell he’s a genius

[unique gazelle]

do yall think this is 'balatro-y' enough? i suck at art but I think it turned out good :)

[tranquil quail]

This is really good ngl

[clear zinc]

Just remove the "joker"

[unique gazelle]

thanks!

[unique gazelle]

yeah I was thinking that but I still wanna include 'joker' somewhere on it, i just dk where

[thick orchid]

the darkest color on a joker should be the same color as the balatro text. nothing should be darker, ever, unless you dont care about it looking right next to other jokers.

[icy geyser]

exclusions include campfire

[thick orchid]

No, that has the same darkest color

wait nvm

but its not that much darker, and its certainly not jet black

[gaunt void]

AHEM - use whatever black you like as long as it feels like it fits

balatro black is not THE black it is a basis for if you want something to be STRICTLY balatro-y imo

i abject to using straight up pitch black because it doesnt mix with the other colors

it's not SHOULD, it's USUALLY IS

[thick orchid]

I think that the best way to make jokers that fit in with the rest is to color pick from the jokers themselves, and only really ever mess with hue if you need a different color. Especially if you're not savvy enough to make a color palette yourself

[gaunt void]

take into account this - it barely follows any palletes

does it look good for its style?

I say; yes.

[gaunt void]

yes but you don't HAVE to do that

If you want to, go for it!

[thick orchid]

I think that it could be lightened to fit well with the rest and it would still look good. Remember that the only colors we see are related to other colors in an image

[gaunt void]

:D

[thick orchid]

I have a very similar style of eyes, but I think that it just being standard balatro black works, since thats basically the only point of reference for 99% of other jokers

[gaunt void]

yeah but I'm saying that if it fits, it fits, that's basically my point

[zenith crow]

are we posting self inserts now?

[thick orchid]

Examples of times where jet black could be called for, but isnt, and etc

the shadow inside of the emaciated wolf is also just standard balatro black, even though realistically, the lips and nose should be, and the shadows should be even deeper. But it looks decent here, and it will look good in a lineup of other jokers.

[proven holly]

This is balatro black, campfire black, black hole black, and pureblack

Using pureblack is not useful 99.9% of the time because balatro darkens sprites ingame

[river condor]

okay but like who cares

the world isn't going to explode if you use a darker black

like it won't look the same sure, but really it's your art

[proven holly]

"Balatro black is #4f6367, remember that"
-Sun Tzu

[gloomy carbon]

Another (and I think the main) reason why Balatro uses a lighter black is because it makes the cards look more plausibly printed ^^

[thick orchid]

It's not going to explode, but I preferably use mods that I don't mind looking at the art for, since, you know, thats like half of the mod, and I know that a lot of people get bummed out that the mod they wanted to play doesn't look nice, and dont play it. it's something i do too.

[proven holly]

It's for negative contrast actually, negative cards don't perfectly invert aand instead make dark tones reach white if they're darker than #3e4b4d

or somwhere in that ballpark

Negative campfire is nearly impossible to make out all detail, and localthunk knew this (I think)

[proven holly]

This is exactly why paperback is my favorite balatro mod

[thick orchid]

and neato :)

[proven holly]

Neato too

I don’t like the abilities in neato as much though

[brisk ember]

[lime pulsar]

Unskipable Ad

[brisk ember]

why would i want to sjip the 3 minute joka cola ad

[vocal obsidian]

to get back to the 6 hour long retrospective on a single 30 minute episode of television of course

[brisk ember]

wrong

its to watch more balatro

[unique gazelle]

ahh ok I see now, i'll try it out with the balatro black and see how it turns out

[thick orchid]

new roffle vid, gotta get to the part where i look inside

[unique gazelle]

thank all of yall for the advice tho! i appreciate it :)

[gaunt void]

Disables skipping, gives a tag for every blind selected?

Ooooor it increases blind rewards because watching ads gives money to companies aka the house

[lime pulsar]

still thinking on the effect, but that sounds interesting

[gaunt void]

Maybe related to disabling skipping

Maybe instead of removing an entire mechanic it just punishes you for skipping

[rotund lynx]

Pretty sure you have it flipped, negative doesnt invert perfectly because the darkest black isnt pure black, if it wasnt like that all negatives would look grey as there arent colors that are dark enough to invert into white

[thick orchid]

i mean, maybe it just dies on skipping

[gaunt void]

true

[vocal obsidian]

extra money on clearing blind but dies on skip?

hmm

seems a little plain

[gaunt void]

Yeah probably

[proud parcel]

btw black hole black isnt the darkest color used in balatro art

the logo actually has a darker color

[vocal obsidian]

but money makes sense if it's an advertisement

[gaunt void]

^^2 money /j

[proven holly]

Bet the logo doesn’t have negative edition

checkmate

[thick orchid]

negative

[proud parcel]

okay but the logo is pixel art thats in balatro

[thick orchid]

deltarune player reading challenge (impossible)

[gaunt void]

whenever you boot up the game, the logo gets a random edition, you gain abilities per run, now each run where you're barely passing by you're just closing and relaunching the game like 15 times an ante

[proven holly]

But logo art doesn’t need to be created because it exists

checkmate

[proud parcel]

thats not true

it needs to be created if you add a new logo

[zenith crow]

Gives you money instead of a tag when skipping

[proud parcel]

which people have done before

thats just straight up a lie

[gaunt void]

Art chat tweaking

[proven holly]

but the whole point is to adhere to the vanilla artstyle and making a new logo is one of the least vanilla things you can do

[proud parcel]

not really

vanilla has a logo

so

not having a logo

actually makes you not vanilla

[gaunt void]

vanilla this vanilla that

[proud parcel]

this is not an objective thing here

having a logo or not doesnt matter to vanillaness

[proven holly]

The logo in vanilla never changes and probably never will change
So a logo change is not vanilla

[proud parcel]

thats not an objective argument

[thick orchid]

it will change when i remote into localthunks computer and make it red

[proud parcel]

vanilla has a logo and so you should have a logo

it not changing in vanilla is irrelevant because vanilla also doesnt have the jokers you have its unprecedented

theres no actual answer

youre just making shit up so you can be right

[gaunt void]

not every mod has to use like 2 colors to be vanilla. I agree with Ruby, have a logo if you want a logo

[proud parcel]

do whatever you want be consistent if you want

[gaunt void]

EXACTLY

[proud parcel]

but whats the point in caring so much if someone doesnt want to be

you can just not play and/or not work on the mod if it bothers you so much

outside of beginners people knowingly make design choices on purpose

and instead of admitting that you dont like the design choices youre always going on about how their choices are wrong and yours are right

because of le consistency

[thick orchid]

I mean, i usually make art to share it, and if doing something as simple as sticking to a loose palette helps me share my art to a larger audience then I'll probably do it

[proud parcel]

and you do it here instead of the cryptid server because you think no one here knows about it

this is really stupid at this point

[proud parcel]

i mean do whatever i dont really care

i think it looks nice in most situations

but i didnt say that because its not relevant

i go out of my way to use balatro black unless i think a darker color is better in that situation but what i specifically do doesnt matter

[vocal obsidian]

does this rule only apply for greys/blacks or is it for darker colours as well

my module cards have a very dark green for part of the screen

just wondering if that's a problem

well not a problem but

[proud parcel]

if you want to be consistent you probably shouldnt have a darker luminosity if you view the colors using a hsl slider

but i dont think its that bad

[vocal obsidian]

actually I don't think it's that dark

[thick orchid]

Generally if you want things to look right when its rendered by the game, since the game renders things with higher contrast than the art, keep it at a brigher luminosity.

i nearly said "luminosity value", lol. Keep things above a certain meter foot

[proud parcel]

tbh

having a good reason to use pure black is like easier than other darker values cause it doesnt get fucked by the rendering

not like its common for regular jokers still

but it basically looks the same ingame

but also you can like pretty easily work around the rendering issues if you want to use darker colors too

you just have to be more careful with the contrast

[vocal obsidian]

yeah actually it's not that dark at all

[tranquil quail]

still proud of this (but realized i never posted it here)

[atomic orbit]

here comes the boss blind

[gaunt void]

with his power I'm surprised theyre not on the joker slots

and the bottom of the screen ain't pulsating black or smthn

[gusty kraken]

in this lore, Balatro is actually a fairly simple single-player adaptation, but Jimbo wants desperately to be something more, to be… free.

[indigo notch]

secret secret boss of chapter one

[tranquil quail]

so many delicious flavors :D

[fleet turtle]

Where do I post regular degular art unrelated to balatro

[turbid kernel]

Lucky cards done!

I prefered to use the default card mesh because lucky cards have a different form

But also the back part of the card still have the form when flipped

So, i did it like this

[slender haven]

oi oi oi i made this lil mod

i call it tylatro

i like tyler the creator if you cant tell

first time making a mod lua is so confusing 😭

[sullen swift]

Ok guys I’ve been trying to do puzzle cards, and I just feel like I’m beating my head against a wall

[balmy shuttle]

Here

[sullen swift]

Like I can’t do another good one after Rubik’s cube

[snow helm]

x2 mult for each straight played is outright game breaking holy

[balmy shuttle]

Will speed the process

[sullen swift]

So instead I might do something different

“App” consumables

They work the same

They’re just based on apps now

[balmy shuttle]

Whatsapp

NOOOO

[sullen swift]

I know everybody hates it

[hexed mural]

You need more ideas?

[sullen swift]

But sometimes

[sullen swift]

I do have ideas, the problem is the execution

Like how do I make sudoku look fun

[hexed mural]

How do the cards work?

[sullen swift]

#🎨・fan-art message

Like tarot cards

But you have to hold on to them for a couple of rounds before they’re usable

[hexed mural]

I think if you're having trouble making a certain puzzle look fun you might just choose a different one, but probably any one would work if you get weird with it

Sudoku is just a grid, but you could do something abstract instead like a sudoko page wrapped around in a cylinder

[sullen swift]

Wait I just had an idea

I made Rubik’s cube use a grid
But what if I gave the grid to sudoku, and make the background of Rubik’s cube Memphis?

[hexed mural]

Which of these looks better?

[hexed mural]

That could work

[sullen swift]

I’d say left, looks more spacey
Both look good

[dense solstice]

No time? Ive been at this since the demos hahah

I only really took off at release though

I usually do one a day, maybe more if im in a groove

[warped umbra]

Wao... wait, when the balatro demo was released?
And when Balatro was made global?

[pulsar vigil]

There waasss.. 3 demos i think, ive been around since the first

[warped umbra]

Nice

[pulsar vigil]

But ive seen improvement in my art since then :p a lot of my early ones have been reworked or not used

[gaunt void]

weathergirl

[old seal]

Hey guys I'm kind of lost, should I enter this evil ass bunker?

[pulsar vigil]

Yes

[mystic roost]

chat which is better

[next gust]

I like the left one

[delicate sky]

imo right, but with the top connecting lines of the left one

[mystic roost]

i tried to make the left one look like an actuall polymino

i tried making the right match astronomer and cartomancer

[mystic roost]

👍

[next gust]

What about right with the connection lines and the thick colorful outline that you have around the joker themself on the left one

[mystic roost]

il do that and see how that looks

[next gust]

What if you arrange the shapes on the bottom to spell joker lol

[mystic roost]

il make 6 versions with the first three and this

all six

which looks the best @next gust

[old seal]

I'd say that the middle bottom one looks the best (in the right variants outline clashes too much with jimbo's grey colors and jimbo from left variants just looks incomplete, idk how to explain)

[mystic roost]

jokcr

yes

[old seal]

joxea

[mystic roost]

real

i am a machine that turns singuler letters into joxea

ok so the middle one willl become the one i use

what should be its effect

[gaunt void]

I changed it

[mystic roost]

im not sure but i know its gotta do with polymino cards

[old seal]

lmao I thought it was a girl in a red mask closing her eyes and throwing her head back

[next gust]

I like the 4th, 5th and 6th ones!

[mystic roost]

what are those

the bottom 3?

[next gust]

Bottom row yeah

[mystic roost]

because the jokcr

[next gust]

Probably prefer the bottom left

[mystic roost]

so coin flip the botton left and middle

[gaunt void]

nah it's weathergirl

[old seal]

oh ok

[gaunt void]

she looks like she's kinda holding the camera thouhg

kinda

[old seal]

maybe a joker that gives chips (like Odd Todd) or some other bonuses when playing specifically linked cards?

[mystic roost]

bunco already has game collector

so definitely not chips

mabye playing linked cards unlinks a card?

[old seal]

why would you link cards just to unlink them afterwards

[mystic roost]

idk

[gloomy carbon]

ooh what about

[gaunt void]

I think I was dazed during this part istg I could barely see

[gloomy carbon]

Linked cards can be selected, played and discarded individually

[mystic roost]

doesnt that completly remove the purpose of the link?

[gaunt void]

drop by drop with gray, ooo~ /lyr

[mystic roost]

oh wait

the draw to hand effect

[gloomy carbon]

i think the main purpose of links is drawing them together

[old seal]

the purpose of the link is to always DRAW four of a kinds

[gloomy carbon]

ya

[mystic roost]

mmmn

sounds good

[gaunt void]

Yeah I agree making them all select at the same time is confusing

[mystic roost]

i just have to change the linking code then

doesnt seem too hard to implement

[old seal]

that's the drawback of the mechanic, what's wrong

[gaunt void]

I mean it's not horrible, I just

get confuzzled

either way, it's fine if that part stays, fine if it doesnt

[old seal]

by the way, do you work on Bunco or is it like a fan mod of a fan mod?

[mystic roost]

im making my own mod for myself based on the mod yes

i also made a haldberd version of fondue

[mystic roost]

btw bunco ended

firch left

its being updated by jimbocarrot but no new content is being released for it

[old seal]

damn that sucks
maybe you could pitch your mod to jimbocarrot after you end developing it?

[mystic roost]

Maybe

[old seal]

Wait, so which one won? Bottom left or bottom middle

[mystic roost]

idk

didnt flip yet

middle it is

[old seal]

yaay

[gaunt void]

I could live to be a hurricane, turn into a tempest, violent, silent, in the eye, all whirling, gusting, wuthering, could it be enough to change the way you use my name?

[mystic roost]

@old seal what do i name it

[old seal]

'Polyjoker'
'Polymijoker'
or just 'Polymino Joker'

[gaunt void]

1 or 3

Id say

[mystic roost]

i like 1 and 2

but it doesnt really fit with the cartomancer or astronomer naming

[gaunt void]

Polynomer

Polymancer

/j

[mystic roost]

polymancer

[gaunt void]

polymancer!

[mystic roost]

the name fits very well

because polymancer is actually a magazine that was made for video games

[old seal]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymancer for real

[mystic roost]

yeah this one

[gaunt void]

panic ecstatic out manic

[old seal]

well, cartomancer and astronomer are different kind of jokers, they give you consumables
this one is different, it affects a consumable's effect
but anyway the name is already chosen

polymancer

[mystic roost]

Programmer also works

but i kinda like polymancer more

because funny

[sand burrow]

Programmer fits for a code card looking joker

Idk

[hidden mantle]

these are genuinely peak

true

but polymino cards are tetris pieces

[mystic roost]

oh yeah

forgot those exist

[steel bronze]

black or red?

[old seal]

black

[mystic roost]

That's the same quesiton I've been getting.

the shading is odd on this

i think it is colors but also kinda shiny

[sturdy kiln]

yeah i was thinking like

[gloomy carbon]

I think it's just shiny

[gaunt void]

I think it's his limbs

Because multiple different procs can happen on the same card I'd make it lower

this is strong enough!

[gloomy carbon]

perfectly fine to me

[tranquil quail]

thats fair tbh

[sick phoenix]

Actually

Nah it's good as is

[gloomy carbon]

as it's random, and also overwrites

[tranquil quail]

sweet :D

[sick phoenix]

Does it overwrite enhancements that were already there

Seals, editions etc

[tranquil quail]

Yeah

[sick phoenix]

Alright yeah then it's fine as is

[gloomy carbon]

ABABABA THANKS :3

you don't know the halffff of my obsession with my lil goober

[tranquil quail]

SO CUTE

god that reminds me i had a WEIRD fuckin idea for a consumable set
idk if any of you know what toki pona is but like. flash cards with toki pona words on them

[gloomy carbon]

oh i know toki pona!

can't speak it

i know of it!

that sounds like. really good actually??

[tranquil quail]

im totally gonna work on it after i finish up capsules :D

[gloomy carbon]

okay :D!

[vast musk]

first thing that came to mind https://youtu.be/xrviwQmc9yQ

[sick phoenix]

Scratch Off Ticket:
Played 7s give +0 mult when scored
Scored 7s have a 1 in 5 chance to increase given mult by 2

[burnt sable]

I CANT STOP WINNING

[sick phoenix]

Which between "scratch off" and "scratch off ticket" rolls off the tongue better

Or is "lottery ticket" a better name

[magic nova]

Cool concept and cool art but the ability sucks

[sick phoenix]

I've already coded and tested it and it's quite strong

[magic nova]

Really?

[sick phoenix]

If you're lucky, in a couple antes 7s will be giving you like 30 mult each

[magic nova]

It's a 1n5 chance to get you plus +2

Mult

[sick phoenix]

+2 for each 7

Scored

It's kind of like hiker

[magic nova]

How?

[sick phoenix]

After one proc, 4oak sevens will give you 8 mult
After ten procs, 4oak sevens will give you 80 mult

The sevens are permanently getting buffed on scoring (as long as you don't sell the joker lol)

[magic nova]

Ohhhh

It doesn't say perm

Yeah I get it now

Cool concept

[sick phoenix]

Thank you

[magic nova]

But I'm just stupid ig

[sick phoenix]

It's cool

[magic nova]

Do you have any other jokers your working on/ finished

[sick phoenix]

Super low quality oops

Wanted joker, cheese wheel, scrapbook

I just made scrapbook today

I'm kind of drawing and then coding as I go along, one at a time

[magic nova]

It's really cool

[sick phoenix]

Thank you!

[magic nova]

Your a great artist

Can you put these into real games with mods?

[sick phoenix]

I am currently

[magic nova]

What mod is the scratch ticket? And is it possible to get these mods into baltro on mobile

[sick phoenix]

1. My mod currently isn't in any state to be published lol, I only have 3 jokers programmed and too many bugs to count
2. You cannot mod on mobile unfortunately

[magic nova]

Oh...

That's sad

[sick phoenix]

I play primarily on mobile so it's stinky

[magic nova]

I don't have a computer lol

[sick phoenix]

Dang

[magic nova]

They should make so you can mod balatro on mobile

[burnt sable]

So “Chaos the Clown” is just a cover story….

[sick phoenix]

He reformed and became chaos after years on the run

[vernal mason]

few games let you use mods on mobile (if any)

logistically I think it's probably really tough especially given that modding requires code injection right now

if you want mods to be available on mobile you have to a) make sure that they're store compliant, b) have a mechanism for loading that extra content that doesn't require runtime injection, c) make a server that can host them (because you likely can't just share with steam workshop), and d) build an interface to that in Balatro

which is a lot to ask of our local thunk

especially when there's meant to be a 1.1 update this year...and I'm super curious about what that's gonna do to the game, I'm excited

because your not stealing people from the store

maybe you aren't

sick card idea

[sick phoenix]

This is an awesome card idea

I'm assuming it doesn't care if the target card is an eternal

[vocal obsidian]

no thats obviously reserved for the Kidnapping joker

[brisk ember]

I love stealing

[steel bronze]

fact

the showtime deck : start with overstock and overstock plus , jokers can appear twice in shop (like the showman effect JUST for jokers) , -1 hand (the blue one) idk if i should add more downsides but i want it to be fun deck soo yeah

[dense solstice]

[wintry bloom]

This is the most balanced Exotic I've ever seen.

[sturdy kiln]

redid the m for practice on reusing colors (most of the colors are taken from the jimbo i did)

[warped umbra]

Great work!!!
The shading type looks like the shading used for snes games!

[sturdy kiln]

thanks

hue shift my beloved

[warped umbra]

Imagine an edition that changes the shading type of a joker and gives a different effect...
Like a nes or a snes edition, or maybe a Gameboy edition....

Although that would be complex I think.

Dithered Deck or something. just saying the first word that comes to mind since it's so b l u e

[sullen swift]

Is this a good mod tag?

(scaled up for discord visibility)

[pulsar vigil]

Nah you should make it that size ingame too

[steel bronze]

listen to the pros hat stack

[pulsar vigil]

Am i a pro?

[sand burrow]

First balatro art I've done (there's one older but that's deleted)

[thorn delta]

are these for a mod? they look amazing!!

[pulsar vigil]

Yes indeedy, "Monarchy"
However i lack anyone with coding ability, and learning is a slow process so most of them are just shells at the moment

Thank you :)

[thorn delta]

thanks!! while its not finished, is there some place where i can see what each joker does? (i like to read the modded balatro wiki and im really curious what some of these would do!!)

[pulsar vigil]

Ah i dont really have a place, i really should do that somewhere

[thorn delta]

no pressure tho! or worries :)

(please ping me when you post it though)!

what was that

i blinked

[pulsar vigil]

I'll try remember

I did make a little demo pack with a page of them, but a couple have since stopped working, i never really released it

[sand burrow]

Is there any consumable ideas
I have done metals, stakes (oh god I forgot about those I should be working on them), uno cards

What else

[thorn delta]

wood types? like minecrafts, lol

[sand burrow]

Oooo

Very interesting

[thorn delta]

oak birch spruce etc

[sand burrow]

Could add from mods like I did for metals

[thorn delta]

sick

[sand burrow]

How would it look like though
Is it going to be a block with the log being the background

[sand burrow]

That is a lot and I love it

[thorn delta]

maybe like the planks are the background and the log itself in the foreground?

[sand burrow]

Speaking of fire we need a fire (or star) board

[sand burrow]

hmm

I meant like multiple logs stacked to make the background

But that would be cool too

[thorn delta]

aaaaah

[sand burrow]

It's night so tomorrow

[thorn delta]

yeah same lol

[sand burrow]

Oh I still haven't made some stuff for other consumables

[thorn delta]

trying to think what the spectral variant would be, wood wise

[sand burrow]

That might be hard

[thorn delta]

crafting table?

[sand burrow]

didn't know crafting table was a wood type /j

[thorn delta]

lol, its made of wood and can use wood

[mint dome]

These look really cool

I especially like the game cart

[thorn delta]

YEAH SAME

THE AMERICAN SNES CARTRIDGE

[mint dome]

Yeeeeeee

[warped umbra]

She's sweet, she's gentle, she's the Scientist's closest friend and she can solve every maths problem in no time!

The Mathematician
Every played rank card (no face cards) permanently gains +2 Mult when scored.

my first female joker card, she turned out better than I thought!

[mint dome]

Yeah

[sand burrow]

-# any more [[ideas]]?

[sand burrow]

Math

Hiker but mult

[mint dome]

I’m drawing jokers based on Dave and Bambi

[sand burrow]

I like it

[pulsar vigil]

Ive gotta finish off Sword Swallower

And make the other suits

[warped umbra]

yep!

[pulsar vigil]

They're intended to scale upon destroying certain suits

[thorn delta]

there are planet cards, what if theres also continent cards

[sand burrow]

Lmao

[pulsar vigil]

Like the stones but you wanna get rid of them instead of get more of them lol

[thorn delta]

OOOOOOO

[sand burrow]

The spectral card will be
Uhhh
The moon?

[thorn delta]

THATS SICK

[pulsar vigil]

[thorn delta]

[brisk ember]

Hiker? I hardly know er!!

[noble monolith]

Just like kidney stones!

[brisk ember]

What will be the next card to have big lady on it

I was thinking I could do another one where she’s like hidden

So something like red card

[warped umbra]

hidden?

[brisk ember]

Yes

Secret lady

[warped umbra]

hmm...

[brisk ember]

Like da erosion

But she’ll be smaller

[warped umbra]

maybe riff-raff?

since it has a smol joker?

oh, and other smol jokers too

[brisk ember]

Already did riff raff

I’m just saying that’s my idea for red card

[warped umbra]

oh

I mean yeah it works

I'm kinda curious about how baseball card would turn out in your style

[brisk ember]

Wanna se

Probably one of my favorites

[bold rover]

Aww she seems sweet :3

[warped umbra]

PEAK

[warped umbra]

she is!
...treat her bad and scientist will send you to the graveyard in few nanoseconds...

[brisk ember]

I actually used one of my friends designs as inspiration for her head here bc I thought it would be neat

Idk if I have the image of his drawing of her

But it also kinda goes with my own little headcanon that this is her but a little younger

[warped umbra]

pretty coolio

welp, imma go sleep rn, tomorrow I'll make the Geometer joker

[brisk ember]

Geometry scary

[warped umbra]

ooOOOooo 🟥 🔵 📐

[warped umbra]

what about 2d ones?

(....I guess you hate them too since you're not answering?)

[steel bronze]

upgrade deck : UPGRADE, PEOPLE, UPGRADE🗣️

[warped umbra]

I guess this has something to do with upgrading poker hands and giving more card enchantments?

[steel bronze]

i hope it does (idk the effect yet)

[paper flicker]

It would be funny if this deck increased every card by one rank

[pulsar vigil]

Strangely square circles

[steel bronze]

oops all aces

[paper flicker]

When you use Strengthen on an Ace it becomes a 2 XD

[warped umbra]

Squarecles

[steel bronze]

idk that

[pulsar vigil]

Indeed, an ace is simultaneously a 1 and an 11

[paper flicker]

It would be an interesting deck idea I think

[pulsar vigil]

Schrodinger's card

In blackjack an ace acts as an 11 unless you hit over 21, then it becomes a 1

Thats where the phrase "soft score" comes from, a "Soft 17" is an ace and a 6

[steel bronze]

is this some kind of Superposition

[pulsar vigil]

Thats why you can make a straight with an Ace-2345

Known as a wheel

[sturdy kiln]

done with the stupid hand jokers, again just for practice with reusing colors

mad joker is my favorite

[dense gale]

Yessir for upcoming update it’s Rn the effect of cards start with a seal, enhancement, edition, or another thing I added into game like stickers

[pulsar vigil]

I shot your mom in the back of the head with my goo blaster

Uncalled for

that is not the kind of goo i was referring to

Should I just get it over with an paste lady onto the other copy jonklers

Oh my god

I just had a great idea for golden lady

Marble joker will be the statue of David

But like

Maybe I have to censor that somehow

[brisk ember]

like the measurement of your card?

GIMME GIMME GIMME

[brisk ember]

it is

just checked in aseprite by scaling it down

[burnt yoke]

[ocean escarp]

Ok thank you

[raven turret]

how could i make this design a little less bland?

(the visual design. not the game design)

[brisk ember]

oh my god pinwheel

dark souls reference

hmmm

i think having an extra line seperate from it might give it more of the unfinished loading look

that or an unfinished line

[raven turret]

an unfinished line would probably look nice

[raven turret]

how about this? i'm not too sure about it

maybe didn't need to change the background color of the top part

[magic nova]

Why foil?

[raven turret]

it's set to a random edition when it appears in the shop

also when it appears in the collection

[magic nova]

Ahhh isn't that already in crypid?

[raven turret]

idk actually i've never looked at cryptid

[magic nova]

It's coll tho

[graceful lava]

You're thinking of Kaleidoscope

[magic nova]

Cool*

[graceful lava]

Kaleidoscope adds Polychrome to a random joker everytime you beat a boss blind

[raven turret]

ah

that seems like a different thing

[graceful lava]

Yeah

[raven turret]

pinwheel is currently just a bit too free

since you can buy and sell it in the same shop

[magic nova]

You sure? I remember a code card when you use it destroys a joker of your choice then next rerolled gives it a edition

[graceful lava]

Holy crap that's awesome

[raven turret]

i'd make it not do anything until you've spent 1 round with it a la invisible joker but between that and the changing every round it's just too many rules

[sullen swift]

forgot I had these
any tips on how to improve them?

[raven turret]

not too sure about this but maybe reverse the gradient inside the outlines? to make em look a little less flat

also it seems like the vanilla booster packs make this corner on the shading rounded

this bit seems to be a little different as well

[sullen swift]

Like this?

[raven turret]

something like that yeah

can't tell if it looks better though i'm not very discerning

[sullen swift]

Are these good?

[raven turret]

tried making it into the jimbo colors rather than the rainbow thing and i can't tell if it looks better or worse

[icy geyser]

I like it

[muted bear]

personally prefer the rainbow thing

the rainbow throbber

[hexed mural]

Rainbow is better, it looks like the thing it's portraying

[fossil gate]

i think maybe if it was flat colors like the rainbow one, rather than being shaded, it'd look better

[atomic orbit]

joker design based off the FNV joker cards..... not sure abt it

[pulsar vigil]

I like it

I'd say just switch to balatro black, but i think it looks great

His face has a lot of personality

Thats of course if you're adhereing to balatro palette

[atomic orbit]

idk ... i dont feel like it would be befitting of replacing jimbo

bc i want to end up replacing all of the joker faces with an FNV based one instead

[atomic orbit]

not trying to go for vanilla adherence with this texturepack

[pulsar vigil]

Sweet, then i have no notes

I reckon it looks fantastic

[graceful lava]

Is this supposed to be like a cursed joker

[brisk ember]

idk how i feel about posting it

[hexed mural]

It's an optical illusion

[gaunt void]

no it doubles every fail

o-

[brisk ember]

really puts the anatomy out front and it shows that im kinda bad at it!!!!

[graceful lava]

I assume you meant cutting it in half right

[brisk ember]

also naked lady but thats besides the point

[gaunt void]

oops all sixes .... says the same thing... it doesn't half it does it?

Also that would be terrible design

[graceful lava]

I suppose you're right

My bad then

[brisk ember]

it technically halves the probability of a probability not triggering

[hexed mural]

It increases it yes

[gaunt void]

True

[hexed mural]

So if you inevitably fail a wheel of fortune your next one will be 2 in 4, and then if that fails you get a guaranteed 4 in 4 wheel

[gaunt void]

All probabilities are EVENTUALLY guaranteed

[brisk ember]

then youll fail again

[hexed mural]

I think it comes out as equal to Oa6 but it's interesting to see how people react on their first impression.

[gaunt void]

Jokers that are powerful but rarely trigger trigger a lot more often

So it's technically scaling oa6

[brisk ember]

well

not a lot more often

the more often they trigger the less often the dice does anything

so yeah it should only be a little more likely

[gaunt void]

1 in 500 would happen more with this joker than with normal oa6

So it benefits off rare chances

[brisk ember]

though it does have the bonus of inevitably getting you out of a luck rut if you do poorly for a while

[hexed mural]

It can multiply probabilities more than Oa6, with only two failures. It also makes random probabilities more predictable, you can even play random chances in preparation to make one thing extra likely.

[brisk ember]

hmm

5 oak lucky would go kinda crazy.,

tho it kinda does without luck increases

she is become real

[hexed mural]

The reliability would be pretty good for things like gros michel where you need it to hit eventually

It also makes gros michel extinction way more likely

[gaunt void]

Basically, it's like quadratic luck, a lot of things are guaranteed to happen, but more common things block the rarer ones

[brisk ember]

true, but that seems like probably the single most niche use for it

it's based on the thing that shows up in the bottom left corner of your browser window while a webpage is loading. since the concept is an image that's in the middle of loading

[next gust]

Very pretty, would eat again

[cyan yew]

Which is the best?

Also Picklehering!

[thick orchid]

I would probably recommend just, increasing the width of the nameplate for both pickelhering (which is the correct spelling, not 🥒 ) and ulenspegel, so they might become readable

[thick orchid]

If you want, here are some nameplates i through together, feel free to use them if you'd like

[cyan yew]

We're allowed to do that?

[thick orchid]

you're allowed to do whatever your heart desires

[cyan yew]

The art is great but
Your Ps look at alot like Ds
-# Dickelhering

[thick orchid]

Its the same P as in Perkeo, but whatever

[cyan yew]

Yeah but Perkeo is a loony bastard

[thick orchid]

anyway, long spectrals and tarots have increased nameplates, its only fair that it's the same for the looney bunch

[cyan yew]

They change font

Not oncrease nameplates

[thick orchid]

get real

[cyan yew]

Ok

[thick orchid]

high priestess also does it

[cyan yew]

Ok
