[glossy oak]

I try to be vanilla like

emphasis in "I try"

sometimes there is clearly fanmade

[fleet turtle]

Common Jokers

[mossy warren]

Ik all of them

[fleet turtle]

The current theme of all my jokers in my mod is

“All MY favorite characters”

I don’t know who else to add

[mossy warren]

-# can I make a suggestion?

[fleet turtle]

Try it

Minos and Sisyphus are done

[mossy warren]

ok let me think of ine

[mossy warren]

I was about to say V1

Funnily enough

[fleet turtle]

Planned Epic-Rarity style Joker

[mossy warren]

oh ok

Then tbh I haven't a scoobies

[fleet turtle]

No wait I scrapped him because I couldn’t think of any other ability to give him.

[mossy warren]

If any other ones

[mossy warren]

The coin

[fleet turtle]

Yahimod’s patent, I will not steal it.

[mossy warren]

Is it actually patented?

[fleet turtle]

Idk

But I don’t really wanna just copy it

[mossy warren]

well dont

I'll think of a good idea for v1

for you

[twilit tapir]

#🎨・fan-art message

[fleet turtle]

I’ll consider your idea

[twilit tapir]

gaspppppppp tyyyyyy <3333

[mossy warren]

mhm

[fleet turtle]

… plus some OCs of people I know and like

[mossy warren]

I'll get back to you after

I'll think of the idea

[fleet turtle]

For now, I’m still focusing all my efforts on common and uncommon jokers

[fading palm]

i drew this in 30 seconds using MS Paint (low effort fan art frfr)

[twilit tapir]

well uhhh... good luck!!!

[mossy warren]

Fuck yeah

[fleet turtle]

Hmm

I don’t know dandy’s world all that much, nor am I interested, so that’s crossed off.

[mossy warren]

Straight to the point there

[fleet turtle]

Animator vs Animation?

[twilit tapir]

ooooo

[mossy warren]

Very good idea

[twilit tapir]

tdl joker prolly?

[steel bronze]

h-h-how ? its so..... wow

[fleet turtle]

The Second Coming is a Grandiose Joker

[twilit tapir]

we already have one for the other

[fleet turtle]

Nvm

[twilit tapir]

yeah

is cookie run an option or am i spitballin

[fleet turtle]

Stormbringer

Though I do plan to add more jokers, since Moonlight is also being considered

Steven Universe… Spinel is literally the first joker I worked on.

Also Steven Universe himself is also in the mod.

Five Nights at Freddy’s

Golden Freddy

Also Freddy is a planned Rare Joker that works similar to Baron

Damn, this is hard.

[twilit tapir]

i'm just
looking through my own list of characters i like
i don't think i'm gonna find much else </3

[fleet turtle]

I never shared my notes

Because I’m expanding my Jokers scope, Buttercup is a planned Fantastic Joker.

Sanic

What

What would I do with a Sanic joker

[granite fable]

Wait, that’s actually crazy

[sand burrow]

Incredible, unbelievable, fascinating

more like a doctor's prescription

we're getting Fort Repellent before Six

Blurpleprint

"Retrigger every scored card to the right."

[smoky onyx]

how does this work

is this a card

[livid elbow]

yes.

well

no

the idea is that it like

would look at every rightmost card in your scored hand

and retrigger it

similar to hanging chad

[smoky onyx]

weird wording, it sounds like it would be a card that retriggers other cards to the right of it

[livid elbow]

ok

[smoky onyx]

that would be cool ngl

what if jokers were cards

[covert quest]

joker that adds itself to your Deck and retrieves itself at end of round

[tender meteor]

-# this just sounds like Blindside

[covert quest]

blindside^2 actually because the blinds become cards and the jokers become the blinds, so then the jokers become the cards if you do it twice

[tender meteor]

what replaces the jokers
trinkets?

[covert quest]

yes

[vocal ibex]

tags 😨

[covert quest]

what is the logic for trinkets and prices anyways

[tender meteor]

to make them different fron the vanilla counterparts i guess

[covert quest]

fair

[smoky onyx]

what even is a blindside

[tender meteor]

trinkets are usually more utility focused than jokers are
and price tags replenish when bought instead of per ante (well they also do per ante)

[tender meteor]

imagine if you were the blinds fighting the jokers instead of the other way around
it's very strange and a great mod

[covert quest]

do cards become the trinkets in blindside^2

[vocal ibex]

yay me

[tulip panther]

quick doodles to make myself practice guys without the stress of worrying about details

[tender meteor]

currently trying to come up for an enhancement for D6 to create
i want it to have similar design vibes to a normal die, as in, mostly white with some black
-# also probably be either rankless or a unique suit + rank because i like those
i just can't figure out what to like, call the enhancement or make it look like more specifically

[sterile agate]

[tame bone]

does it die if it loses a target twice

[delicate hornet]

Yes

[tame bone]

are we being fr right now

[delicate hornet]

It’s useless after that, why would you want to keep it?

[delicate hornet]

I love the blue one a lot

[stark nebula]

Damm ik that elder catfruits gonna be fire

[vocal ibex]

made up a brand new non canon catfruit for one specific card ,, thats what the last one's for

[stark nebula]

I tbought that was the epic catfruit

I could be wromg i havemt played in like 2 3 years

[vocal ibex]

that ones rainbow

^^

i'm not doing every catfruit its a bit excessive plus wouldnt make sense w/ the scope of the mod

the made up one is a platinum catfruit

[stark nebula]

Yeah thats fair

[stark nebula]

Oh cool so theyre what you use to upgrade the cat jokers then?

[vocal ibex]

most units evolve with cat upgrade tickets, catfruits are for special scenarios

i.e. uber rares

[stark nebula]

Thats so cool

[glossy oak]

i need ideas for jokers dude

[stark nebula]

Wish i had balatro on pc ngl

Working on Card Sharp

[stark latch]

I spot a possible caseoh reference

[vocal ibex]

too small to be caseoh

[stark latch]

That's why you make him bigger

I didn't make loafer skinny did I

[wheat hull]

i always find your coloring really impressive despite the extremely limited color palette

you make do with what is given

[stark latch]

What resident evil does to a mf

[blazing jewel]

Alright, what we thinkin'?

[stark latch]

Maybe try shaving down the makeup smile

Joker's lipstick from what I've seen is just to make him look big lipped rather than having a full on smile painted onto his face at all times

Take the vanilla card sharp design for reference

[blazing jewel]

Like this?

[stark latch]

That can work but personally I'd do it a little more

[blazing jewel]

?

[tame bone]

can i know what this is for

[blazing jewel]

I'm retexturing the whole game, basically

[tame bone]

i see

[wheat hull]

that's good i think

[stark latch]

Yea

[languid trail]

Welp, had a small sleep, but now it's done!
-# now I just gotta figure out what to do with them

[wanton basin]

These are all goated

[languid trail]

-# thanks

[wanton basin]

Btw is there a non balatro art chat or nah

If nah I might lowkey cook with some joker juice

[stark latch]

Generally talking is fine in the art channel as long as it doesn't become too unrelated or go on for too long to the point where scrolling gets tiring

[wanton basin]

I mean posting art unrelated to balatro

[stark latch]

Oh

I mean it's not against the rules I'm pretty sure but people are so used to seeing balatro art that it'd do good for you to point out it's unrelated to balatro

[wanton basin]

Ohhh oki

In that case these animations arw very unrelated to balatro

[wintry thunder]

wants a what...

I like the joker text :}

I dunno what Cloverpit is, but that's a beautiful sprite.

Oh my god how did I not see that

[gloomy carbon]

effectively slot machine balatro :3

it's very addicting

[wanton basin]

Clovrtpit is cracked

I reinstalled for the new update

im so mad

being one of the special prerelease testers for cloverpit and i didnt get the reference 😭 i thought it was some other thing

STUPID RAT FROM PIZZA TOWER, PEEEEEAAAAK

[long smelt]

I swear I had no clue either

[fleet turtle]

Brick 😭

[glossy oak]

The rats are called stupid rats in game, i am not joking

brick is a stupid rat that moves and is smaller

[fleet turtle]

Yeah but I have an actual joker planned named Stupid Rat.

[glossy oak]

Oh, valid

[fleet turtle]

Brick gives +2 Joker Slots, Stupid Rat gives -1 Joker Slot.

Brick is common because she gives +2 extra joker slot.

[glossy oak]

Brick is more square

[fleet turtle]

I see

New brick

[mossy warren]

🧱

[fleet turtle]

She is lovely

Lovely injector

[glossy oak]

Yeah

[glossy oak]

I love her

Is so me

[gloomy carbon]

Bermuda Triangle!
(Common) Played and scored cards give +1 Mult for each card scored so far in this hand

feel free to suggest wordings

it starts at +1 Mult, to be clear

[dry peak]

is this a one piece reference or am i just a nerd

[wheat hull]

this is a real life phenomenon

[gloomy carbon]

🤓

this is u

[dry peak]

nah cause it look like this guy

[gloomy carbon]

ohhhhhh i see

hehe i was actually inspired by ishimaru

[gloomy carbon]

peam

[wheat hull]

how is he related to the bermuda triangle

[gloomy carbon]

oh the eyes

no relation but i thought they were cool

[tame bone]

everyone knows the answer to question 1 is jolly joker

[quick prairie]

cba reference, peak

[delicate hornet]

It wasn’t even intentional lol

[delicate hornet]

True…

[cyan trail]

The best joker is the exam itself

[novel quiver]

i love the artwork, pretty funny ngl...but the card itself... :/ it's just a even worst bloodstone (and that card is already pretty bad )

[delicate hornet]

It’s a 1 in 2 now

[novel quiver]

still pretty meh

[delicate hornet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[novel quiver]

1 in X chance jokers in game scoring are pretty pretty baaaad

most of 1 in Chance jokers are made to give you extra resources

like 8ball, hallucination, business, etc.

Bloodstone is the exception and the reason is one of the worst jokers overall is because the game is made to have consistensy in your scoring, so you're basically gambling your scoring each time you go bloodstone

and the "it's because need dice" argument doesn't works becausde you're telling me that i need 2 jokers to make this combo works which isn't really game breaking at all

.
i think Exam would be better if was designed to make you play multiple aces to scale, making the player go for all aces instead of just gamble

something like: "this card get 0.15-0.25Xmult each time you score 4 aces in one hand" or "each 5 aces played, this card gets +0.15Xmult (currently: X)" (obviusly if exam was uncommon)

something that makes the player feel like going aces is good idea in long term you know?

but that's my opinion

[gloomy carbon]

Silly Joker!
(Common) +15 Mult if 5 cards were played

[novel quiver]

i like the art style :D

also the joker itself it's pretty op ante 1-3 ngl

like, in game the term "played" works also if you go a pair and 3 random cards per example, so this jokers is basically better than any page 1 joker and you can literally play it in any hand

[gloomy carbon]

i may tone it down, but i've been making consistent commons to try to fix the "too many value jokers" problem

hmm, does 10 mult seem fair?

[novel quiver]

yeah, maybe you should considered "scored" instead of "played" so the player is rewarded by playing high poker hands like full house, Straight, Flush in early game

instead of just spam pair with 3 random cards and the just full go pair slop

[gloomy carbon]

hmm, i do already have the Visionary that scales when scoring 5 cards

though that's xmult so fair enough

[quick prairie]

maybe 9 /j

[novel quiver]

see page 1 and you will realice than most of page 1 joker barely do +10 mult

maybe 5-7 because it's a hand you literally play on anything

but make it cost like 2$

[gloomy carbon]

that's so weak -3-

i think i'll make it 5 scoring though

and +10

it's objectively better than Droll, but Droll is simply bad

[novel quiver]

i mean, Jolly is 8 mult but is considered one of the best because pair is really easy to play

[gloomy carbon]

hmm well maybe 9 mult instead

[quick prairie]

+8 base mult ?

[novel quiver]

the only page 1 jokers who are good are: Jimbo, the pair, the two pair and maybe the Straight ones

the rest are purely bad

specially the 3oak ones

[gloomy carbon]

maybe it could give a small amount of chips too

i want this to be a decent consistency pick

[novel quiver]

mmmmm i think instead of that just go for chips

[quick prairie]

+75 chips if 5 cards were played would be nice effect

[novel quiver]

try to compared it to the page 1 jokers, this joker for what it seems is basically made for the ante 1-2 jokers roster, so basically 15 mult is alto

[novel quiver]

yeah, i still think is kinda pairslop basically but i think is way less broken dk

[gloomy carbon]

well i mean, it doesn't have to fit in

i only intend on making just the one of these

[quick prairie]

i have crazy idea: +15 Mult if 5 cards were played, decrease by 1 mult when 5 cards were played

[gloomy carbon]

so make him edible

[novel quiver]

that's a food joker i think

[quick prairie]

hmm

[novel quiver]

i think 15 mult or 100 chips but only viable on scored cards is ok

[gloomy carbon]

can i bring up Jokers like Abstract and Mystic Summit

[novel quiver]

played is basically pairslop propaganda

[gloomy carbon]

they're like. way better than the page 1 fillers

i wanna aim more for there

[quick prairie]

If played hand contain 5 cards, +20 mult, but -1 mult for every scored card too evil idea

Almost every joker better than first page :(

[novel quiver]

mmmm maybe a joker like: +10 mult and +50 chips each time you score 5 cards in a hand

so makes the player go high poker hands with more time

until ante 3/4 or seomthing

[gloomy carbon]

that slays, but i might decrease the chips a little

hmmmmm but 50 is a nice number

hmmhmm

[novel quiver]

35?

idk kinda low

[gloomy carbon]

well it's also +10 Mult

you're getting a little balancing action

that's why Scholar is good

[novel quiver]

i think is okay but make it cost higher than page 1, kinda like 5$, so it's a "heavy" joker to early runs basically

is a Droll + sly jokers if you think about it

so the cost is balance to me

[gloomy carbon]

i'll have a think about it when i code it in

we're kinda. clogging up the channel -3-

[novel quiver]

sure

just don't do a "played" card 😭, that's basically pairslop imo

[novel quiver]

sure sure

[gloomy carbon]

-# what's wrong with pairslop though :3

[novel quiver]

i mean, i like pair slop...but i think a average player would be tired of just play that every single run

[gloomy carbon]

well i think they'd be more concerned with junk-slop

[novel quiver]

most of mods try to avoid pairslop because is fun to make new cards viable in niche poker hands like flush, full house, etc.

[cerulean ridge]

something something the one doc vid about how pairs are really strong

-# if I had to guess anyway

[novel quiver]

basically

[quick prairie]

most of mods try to make 7 useful, and its kinda funny

[novel quiver]

the game already have ALOT of pairslop jokers, the best is try to avoid it

[novel quiver]

yeah, because 7s are by far the worst rank

only being viable in straights

[gloomy carbon]

aren't they already viable -u-

[quick prairie]

True

[novel quiver]

and barely in odd todd builds which at that point you could just go 9s for cloud nine, 5,3 and 2 for fibb and hack sinergy

[sand burrow]

Abstract jester
-# very familiar...

[quick prairie]

Abstr-act 2 jester

[novel quiver]

i mean, obviously you could try to go many hands, in my 4 c++ experiences i played alot of hands actually, but we can't deny pairs are overall the most played and most viable in a good percentage of runs

which that's kinda why people love Runner and Trousers, because basically you play thoses while you do pairslop and is full as hell

[gloomy carbon]

i feel like refusing to make content that can do pairs is taking the whole "don't like it because it's popular" approach

[sand burrow]

-# The eyes are supposed to represent the moon and the sun just incase you guys thought they looked jank

[novel quiver]

that's neat, i like the background :D

[sand burrow]

Thank you!!

[novel quiver]

i mean the idea of making a mod is to make jokers who are fun to play and make you go smart, a "15 mult when you played 5 cards" is basically boring because makes you just go pair in ante 1 then you just take a chip joker and you easily win ante 2-3

[cerulean ridge]

i mean if there’s a lot of other jokers that exist too I don’t think it matters too much in the long run

mod is mod

[novel quiver]

true, but that's where you do jokers that make viable other type of builds; high/niche poker hands, ranks, suits, etc.

if you make a mod that is basically just pair based jokers and random crap you basically make a cryptid

[gloomy carbon]

i will point out that a significant portion of Phanta is Junk-adjacent, or unscored-adjacent

pairs are an inevitable strategy

[novel quiver]

mmmm i don't think so, depends alot on the mod if you make jokers that makes you go pairslop or not, like the redbull mod that Doc plays

[gloomy carbon]

how can u not think so -u-

have u played phanta :3

[novel quiver]

i think the problem is when trying to make a joker that is versatile/good early game you basically create a pairslop thingy, like most of page 2-3 jokers

[novel quiver]

no? i was talking mods in general

[gloomy carbon]

i was talking about my own mod

[novel quiver]

ohhh that's neat

i'll play it dk

i want to try new mods

[gloomy carbon]

yay :3

[tame bone]

Blot

[novel quiver]

neat!

[gloomy carbon]

@novel quiver what if it's +15 Mult if 5 cards were played, disabled for the round if under 5 cards are played

[novel quiver]

mmmm i mean, most of the time the player will play thoses 5 card to get thoses dig chances

[gloomy carbon]

it's rough if you're 1 card off a straight or flush

[novel quiver]

also everything i get a Mello in my deck it just debuffs? it's this a bug or my brain is too small to understand what's happening?

[gloomy carbon]

it's sleepy

it's active after 2 rounds

[novel quiver]

ohhh makes sense

i read it like it was a perishable with only 2 rounds

[quick prairie]

(Just haven't drawn for a long time and just decided to draw so bad art) Inevitable strategy (Uncommon): X2 mult, -X0.1 mult for every high card or pair hand played

[gloomy carbon]

oops, you disabled him

[atomic vapor]

Brain invaders (stolen from music album)

[novel quiver]

@gloomy carbon first run

okay your mod may have alot of pairslop hahaha

[gloomy carbon]

:3

[novel quiver]

i'll try to get all gold stake in all new decks

then i'll give you my opinion dk

like a real nerd

[gloomy carbon]

oh good catch too, Policemun is missing JokerDisplay compat

[novel quiver]

yeah i realice, also Lily tho

when theres more than 1 diamond just doesn't show +200

i thought it was a bad description and it was only one diamond

[gloomy carbon]

ah ye

it used to be exactly 1

[novel quiver]

but no it's JD

[gloomy carbon]

i forgot to change its JD

[novel quiver]

ohhh makes sense

anyways

which deck do i go?

[gloomy carbon]

try Azran :3

[novel quiver]

i played the first one which is StromCaught

which is pretty op because i realice that theres alot of Xmults jokers in your uncommons

and also the fact that also counts first rounds just make early runs pretty easy tbh

[novel quiver]

ok!

i love PVZ!!! :D

(the first ones obviously...)

ok this may be way too pairslop

i don't like this

make the boss way too easy to win

just see which ranks aren't in your other suits and most of the ranks you will know

[tame bone]

Can we move this to another channel please

[novel quiver]

sorry 😭

[tame bone]

you are forgiven 😌

[novel quiver]

neat!

[gloomy carbon]

it's good promo :3 i'm not complaining

gaming

[novel quiver]

that's nice!

basically a one shot-high poker hand joker in early runs

balanced in my "books"

[gloomy carbon]

hokay :3 thanks

-# mixels 💔

[livid elbow]

weep.

i cant be assed to fix it because i dont know how i would.

[proven holly]

wait a second what is the name of that game

with the matching cards

[gloomy carbon]

SET

i assume you mean SET

[proven holly]

yes

[hexed meteor]

I’ve been starting to draw jokers

[covert quest]

literally just reduce canvas size

[livid elbow]

i did.

[proven holly]

no you
didn't

[livid elbow]

what

OH REDUCE.

[proven holly]

[livid elbow]

yeah im just trying to get the point across. i can make it pretty later.

[covert quest]

i did it for you

[long smelt]

Wait I can see the mixels now

It's just slightly off

[livid elbow]

popcorn gif

[covert quest]

also use the 1-pixel buffers please and thank you, i had such a hard time trying figure what the measurements were

[proven holly]

you're getting better

[delicate hornet]

Better at what

[proven holly]

art

[stray frost]

ya you can totally tell this one is amazing!!!

[full oak]

Gravastar

[proven holly]

hm

[proven holly]

old joker i made (old old)

[full oak]

That’s not Balatro Black

[proven holly]

i fucking know

neither is yours

checkmate

[full oak]

Mine is TRANSPARENT

[proven holly]

ah

hahaha

[full oak]

That’s Discord Black

[proven holly]

i thought it was and then i checked and came back with it as not transparent

guess it was after all

[proven holly]

mixels

[livid elbow]

there is no escape.

[covert quest]

whta are you using for art

[livid elbow]

FireAlpaca

[covert quest]

use an app designed for pixel art

firealpaca is trad digital

[livid elbow]

i could.

but im fine with this

well anyway i fixed it

i think.

i will admit, it does look

slightly? nicer?

still funny as shit to see people melt over mixels.

[stark latch]

It's hard to do it right so most of the time it ends up making the final product look worse

[livid elbow]

eh, fair.

still funny.

[stark latch]

Like an overwhelming majority of the time

[lyric timber]

i mean this in the most supportive, sincere, and non-offensive way, that if this is the case for you, then skill issue

[livid elbow]

what

[lyric timber]

mixels objectively look bad in all pixel art and 2x resolution cards just don't look like they fit the game unless everything else is at that resolution

learning how to make the most out of a small space and limited colors is part of the beauty in pixel art

[full oak]

Balatrue

[stark latch]

It is, the skill check is rather high

[lyric timber]

if you want to make stuff in your own style and own resolution then by all means go nuts and have fun, but if you're looking for stylistic accuracy or asking for feedback on improvement then you'll get people like me pointing out these kinds of things

[livid elbow]

that. that is fair.

[lyric timber]

well it just takes practice like everything else, I didn't start out as skilled as I am today

[stark latch]

You're crashing out because I answered their question

[livid elbow]

not really?

[lyric timber]

yeah I'm not upset

[livid elbow]

but yeah, i can definitely agree; it can kind of annoying to see someone go "here i did it for you"

tbf that's just me

[lyric timber]

that's perfectly understandable, some people aren't looking for unwarranted "improvements"

[stark latch]

I only really do it myself when providing an example or when someone isn't understanding what I'm staying

[lyric timber]

i guess i'm just used to being in spaces where giving constructive criticism is the norm

[livid elbow]

i mean i totally agree 100%

im fine with constructive criticism idk maybe i just take things too personally.

[lyric timber]

yeah that's part of growth haha
that's part of the "constructive" part, people are making those insights with your best interests in mind

[stark latch]

In this case the mixles were negligible

[vocal ibex]

Blinds now have traits in the BalaCats mod :3

heck yes

[lyric timber]

it's easy to get attached to your work but sometimes the hard changes are for the better
(as an example, here's my fursona in the deltarune style over the years, I've gotten suggestions on improving it for a while)

[livid elbow]

huh. wow

that's

really good.

[lyric timber]

mixels will never be negligible because they will always look bad unless you're looking to emulate an art style like FNAF which is just inherently an art style that uses objectively bad pixel art

[vocal ibex]

j8-bit got their name bestowed upon them once they leveled up their pixel art skill /j /silly

[lyric timber]

i still got a LONG way to go haha

[livid elbow]

now i kinda wanna make a joker where the joke is that it's all mixels.

for the funny.

[vocal ibex]

shitpost jokers are funny

like my "I will never use Joker Forge to make mods again" card from smallpox

[lyric timber]

eh it depends on the execution

that's why Forager Nonessentials has Search History

[stark latch]

I really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not
Either way, people usually aim for their thing to look good and mixles usually do the opposite unless the stars align

[vocal ibex]

the card i just mentioned still follows balala style for the sprite it just looks like shit & the effect is really goofy

[stark latch]

I don't discount mixles as a genuine opportunity it's just one that hurts you a large majority of the time

High risk high reward type shi

[livid elbow]

oh god what have i started

[lyric timber]

i'm serious about the mixels yeah, they will never look good and every game or mod for a game that has made efforts to get rid of them like Terraria or whatever has ultimately improved the end product

it might be a harsh opinion but if you try and use mixels as some kind of hail mary or fallback then either you're not trying hard enough or you're not at the skill level you want to be for what you're trying to do and you'll have to put in a bit more work to get it in a place that looks good

it's not even like there isn't a really easy solution that uses mixels as a baseline for what you want to do

reference layers

[stark latch]

I've seen them be done well but the amount of times that happened in my life can be counted on one hand

[lyric timber]

sorry for coming off as harsh i guess mixels just genreally leave a bad taste in my mouth

[gloomy carbon]

stop eating them

[lyric timber]

x3

[livid elbow]

DONT EAT THEM 😭

look back at this art oh god.

[lyric timber]

very minor note about this but Jokers in Balatro always have "Joker" in the name

unless it's a Legendary

[livid elbow]

oh no yeah i know; i usually try and put either a joker or the word. somewhere. to denote it.

[lyric timber]

i mean no worries, if you wanted you could always go back to it

if anything this seems like a pretty easy card to fit into a smaller resolution

[wise solar]

I wouldn't say mixels look objectively bad (they are an art form after all, check out scott cawthon's work for example) but i do agree balatro's artstyle should not have mixels

[lyric timber]

unless you're looking to emulate an art style like FNAF which is just inherently an art style that uses objectively bad pixel art

[wise solar]

Still

[wise solar]

The "objectively" in this sentence is still very sad to see

It can look good

It is an art form like any other

Jus say you don like it dawg

[vocal ibex]

can yall jus hush up bro this is #🎨・fan-art

[lyric timber]

smaller details aren't even impossible you just have to kinda feel out what you can define and what's good enough that you can blur your eyes and fill in the detail

[lyric timber]

i guess, yeah. i don't like mixels

[livid elbow]

oh that four souls joker is so good.

[stark latch]

I also have an i.o.u

[livid elbow]

cool

[stark latch]

But like I didn't make it it's just in my mod

As golden ticket counterpart

[lyric timber]

-# i might be a little jaded after being in the mega man community for a good while and seeing my fair share of wild takes

curious what both of y'all have in mind for IOU since there's a few different ways you could go with it

[livid elbow]

after 3 rounds, give $20

an iou

[lyric timber]

does it repeat or get destroyed upon obtaining the $20

[livid elbow]

oh no it gets destroyed

i could also make it "Emergency Funds" i suppose

[lyric timber]

alright nice
you should prob specify

"After 3 [3] rounds, destroy this and earn $20"

[livid elbow]

oh no it does

i just

didnt show the description

[lyric timber]

aight neat

[steel bronze]

remember when you making a joker card you're working with 6,417 pixels
thats a lot

[livid elbow]

that

honestly looks better.

is it sloppy? yeah a bit. but no micels

mixels.

f

[vocal ibex]

i mean

it does have mixels tho

[covert quest]

no michaels

[steel bronze]

its not sloppy
its floppy

[vocal ibex]

top right

[livid elbow]

DAMNIT

[covert quest]

mushi physically cannot do art without mixeling it seems

[stark latch]

[covert quest]

me when i count as every suit

[vocal ibex]

just draw on a smaller canvas

[stark latch]

[vocal ibex]

make it impossible to have mixels

[livid elbow]

a simple fix

[vocal ibex]

u are drawing on 2x your actual resolution

[covert quest]

yeah your grid is in 0.5 pixels, so you might need to either decrease canvas size or zoom in

[livid elbow]

doesnt everyone?

[pulsar vigil]

Ancient Monarchy repost

[pulsar vigil]

Nope, we all draw 1x and upscale it

Its more efficient

[lyric timber]

Yeah your canvas should be 71x95 pixels

[livid elbow]

ah

[lyric timber]

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

[livid elbow]

there are some jokers i dont plan on doing that with because it removes the funny

like

yes it's supposed to look like that.

[pulsar vigil]

Nevernamed did a joker that looks like that, but without compressing it

He just drew all the artifacts by hand lmao

[livid elbow]

ah.

i mean it's still funny

[pulsar vigil]

Which is impressive if you ask me

[lyric timber]

If the option is there you should scale down by nearest neighbor

[wheat hull]

i have a skin that just does this

[livid elbow]

hAHAHAHAHAHA

[bold rover]

Actually? genuine psychopath I love them

[pulsar vigil]

Yep

[livid elbow]

MIXEL BANISHER 3000

[livid elbow]

regardless, it's done now, so

[glossy oak]

Also I play windowed

[pulsar vigil]

Nice pfp. I think i recognise the character lmao

[glossy oak]

yeah yeah, "Is sus", yeah, the image is not-

[pulsar vigil]

No i didn't think it would be, i just like the character. :p

[vocal ibex]

is that artist

[pulsar vigil]

I'd be hypocritical if i was calling you out for having a sus pfp

[vocal ibex]

Honestly based pfp

[glossy oak]

the artist is sus, the image not

[pulsar vigil]

Yer

I know :>

[vocal ibex]

love that artist

[glossy oak]

This is the full art btw

[pulsar vigil]

Likewise

[pulsar vigil]

I need to draw more

Ive not done any balatro art in ages either, im washed

[smoky shell]

Katara is ready

[livid elbow]

mixels

💔

[vocal ibex]

how do you even do that

thats genuinely impressive

unless its ai :3

[smoky shell]

What

[covert quest]

i think it might be either ai or composited outside of a pixel editor

[glossy oak]

you forget 2 mixels, 0/10 (Joke, the art looks good)

[livid elbow]

it is an enigma

[smoky shell]

Hahaha

[livid elbow]

LOOK AT THE EYES 😭

[covert quest]

there are 2 levels of mixels here wth

no 3 actually

this isnt pixel art anymore

[livid elbow]

holy mixels

[glossy oak]

i think is not needed to destroy this art, this can be summarized in:

Great art, but doesnt look like pixel art

[steel bronze]

eeeerm actully upon being asked he said they are wedsites for that and by looking online i was able to get something similar results (i need to not just touch grass but also roll in it as well, live far from humanity to reconnect with nature and spiritually reset myself)

[zinc onyx]

Im curious, lex what did you use to draw this?

[glossy oak]

crunchy pixels

[smoky shell]

Ibis

[glossy oak]

that explains everything-

[vocal ibex]

yea that actually checks out

[pulsar vigil]

Death

[zinc onyx]

Why is Ibis infamous lol

[vocal ibex]

yknow you can do balatro-style sprites in ibis, do u want me to give u the run down

[steel bronze]

like here

[vocal ibex]

square brush is not the way

[glossy oak]

btw, balatro resolution is 71x95 or the double

[covert quest]

that makes sense, pixel art in non-pixel editor

[glossy oak]

69x93 if you dont use the corner free pixel

[vocal ibex]

-# i do mine in ibis

[covert quest]

well you actually have the correct canvas size to do it properly

[vocal ibex]

to be fair ibis doesnt hav an aliased brush by default

the square brush emulates pixel art but it doesn't use a grid

thats what they used

[covert quest]

fair

[vocal ibex]

u can take one of the default brushes and get rid of the antialiasing though

ykw i could just send my brush for them

imma do that

[covert quest]

use digital pen 1px and very small canvas

[vocal ibex]

this is what i use !

[livid elbow]

used MSPaint's color palette for this one. it looks nice, honestly.

[wheat hull]

i do mine in clip studio paint

[vocal ibex]

that is SUCH a cool ace wtf

[covert quest]

i use piskel

[pulsar vigil]

I use clip studio for my normal art, but i use Aseprite for pixel

Balala

[wheat hull]

csp is my normal art and pixel art software

[pulsar vigil]

I'd like to do more normal art stuff, ive always wanted to be an artist like that but i do so much else its hard to have time for it

[glossy oak]

piskel, my old friend

until the bug

[covert quest]

what bug

[steel bronze]

redraw your joker on a bigger canvas

[vast musk]

Am i gutterminded or is it intended

[pulsar vigil]

Whar

[glossy oak]

this happens when i use paint bucket

also creates a awful amount of colors

[glossy oak]

i used it

Have the power of looking like ai generated image scalled down, but is too good and detailed that is clearly not

[blazing jewel]

Should I change the outlines around the text to dark red instead of black? I feel like the black outlines might be too harsh

[wheat hull]

the black outlines has good readability

[blazing jewel]

Kay, I'll probably keep them then

[proven holly]

what?

[lyric timber]

VERY nice

love the antialiasing on the text

[glossy oak]

idk, now reading... uhhh

chicken butt

[proven holly]

that is just you chuddy

[glossy oak]

yeah

only happens in my pc

but not using my old pc that only functions for 20 minutes only to have to charge it for 4 hours

[pulsar vigil]

Can i suggest changing the anti alias colour in the text to a mix of the red and white instead of the light black it is?

Just wonder if it'll blend a bit smoother if you can be bothered

Why tho

Because he is like the bladder from Baldi’s basics equivalent jimbo. This is the jimbo you get for downloading pirated Balatro

He’s too weak for Legendary

so glorpy!

[stark latch]

[glossy oak]

now that i am releasing, my repaint mod is so slow progress... how many things are in balatro?

i mean, in general

jokers, cards, enhancements, anything

[stark latch]

Jokers, cards, enhancements, seals, editions, tarots, planets, spectrals, stakes, blinds, etc.

Oh yeah and decks

[granite fable]

Do packs count?

[stark latch]

Yeah that too

[granite fable]

Maybe tags too

[stark latch]

Yeah

And stickers

And stake stickers

[fossil gate]

vouchers

[delicate hornet]

About 347 things not counting editions (which I assume you won’t redraw)

[stark latch]

And the messages like and

[delicate hornet]

I should clarify this is only stuff in collection

[glossy oak]

nope

Oh good heavens

150 joker
15 decks
32 vouchers
22 Tarots
12 Planets
18 Spectrals
8 Enhancements
24 Tags
30 BossBlinds
3 stickers
52 cards in a deck
the shop sign
8 stakes
48 collabs with 3 cards each
also forgot but 5 seals

[stark latch]

5 seals?

What's the 5th one?

[glossy oak]

oh wait

fucking collection

[stark latch]

[glossy oak]

well

555 things

[fossil gate]

if you're gonna count the collabs, you should also redraw the regular card fronts
and if you're counting the shop sign, you should also redraw the title screen

[glossy oak]

but to be fair, the most part are collabs

[granite fable]

Satisfying number
