I want to play a game that makes me neurons go whoop whoop

#

this is why tangents is my favorite mod

lavish jackal
#

I think anyone who expresses anti-intellectual sentiment is a person I don't mind blocking

frigid mica
#

Looks like horse shit

umbral pilot
lavish jackal
#

Because if their response to me being passionate is to shut down that passion then I think they can go to hell

umbral pilot
#

youre too hard on yourself

I’m drawing MVC Thanos specifically

#

Because his ability is tied to Infinity Cards

lavish jackal
#

Okay so I'd say you should focus on the overall silhouette rather than on the structure

umbral pilot
#

if I was to make a mod I think I would make a mod about object permanence

lavish jackal
#

Try to replicate the shape verbatim, just at a lower res

umbral pilot
#

but im not smart enough to make a mod so

#

Ill continue playing them

plush hound
#

oh my goooooddd

Modded Balatro Wiki

Balatrostuck is a content mod by Akai, CampfireCollective and Fazzie, directly based on Homestuck and everything surrounding it. It was released on the 30th of November 2025 as version 1.0.0. The mod has a vanilla power level while mantaining a semi-vanilla design.

A year and a half…

#

winged prism

I’m unsure if I can do my entire mod on my own…

All the art is mine

I did most of the programming but realistically I begged people to help me learn the basics of smods

we're releasing mods for free. There's no competition with judges that vote, nor is there a revenue to be made to make sure your mod continues existing. Unless you're a die hard believer in some economy of attention takes, just assume people consume art in all forms because they're into it

Maybe I’m seeing it differently.

Because I know a lot of people work on content mods

As in groups

winged prism
frigid mica
#

One does the art, the other does the code

#

Me? I do everything.

lavish pike
#

I do art, I cant code well 😭

#

I would be fucked if I had no devs

lavish jackal
frigid mica
#

So then what do I do with my mod?

lavish jackal
#

also @winged prism what do you think of my joker concept where you ragebait karkat

frigid mica
#

Do I bring someone over to help me? Or do I do everything myself?

full edge
#

personally, i think the reason to try to not fall for that mindset is not that there's anything wrong with thinking that people are 'better' than you at something, or to be motivated by other people putting out good content. But yeah, for sure, competition is antithetical to art. If it's a competition, you're motivated to not help other people make their thing better, or share new things you've learned. While the entire modding community here is build on having open source mods, and people sending each other code snippets, and writing APIs, packages, and guides to help you make something better. The cool thing is cooperation, and seeing it as competition is souring yourself on the shared resource of enthusiasm and knowledge that comes from other people

balatrostuck used to be solo dev when i was depressed and in a really bad situation in my life and then i did squat with the mod for like a couple months and then i put together a team and it was rough at first but now we run pretty well actually and its awesome to have people i can depend on

you dont get shit out of being a contrarian shit

I believe I’m susceptible to hearsay, believing them and enacting their proposed sins and believing in the consequences.

...I basically am solo-dev of code and visuals, more or less, yeah. Though that doesn't stop me from assisting others where I can.

My Kino art style is mostly based on me being into pokémon pixel art when I was a teen and then not improving for the last decade of my life, so I just internalized a bunch of shortcuts

burnouts are bad you should try avoiding burnout

also i feel like if u try to meet a certain number of jokers the jokers wont feel as high quality

I think if you're making a mod for fun, there's no reason to pre-emptively decide how large it should be. Though there's something to be said for using a multiple of 15 for collection page reasons 😛

wanton rapids

though that doesnt matter for individual rarities

#

you could have 18 commons and 12 uncommons

full edge
#

But imho, and I'm saying this in the sense that I also realized I don't really understand the nuances of game design for a game like this, I don't think most people here really know which numbers make sense for joker totals and jokers at each rarity. Nor what role they play in the game's spawn pools

You can dilute spawn pools, ruin mechanical synergies that way, have a lot of filler content, etc. It's a lot harder to design around.

And it's the millionth time it's been brought up, mostly by me, but especially commons are something mods mostly don't need. Commons are hard to design, and make as useful as they're interesting, and serve a way bigger role in the game's design than most mods assume

# frigid mica Banner

Banner requires players to basically design the pool of jokers themselves, which is not fun to do if you don't know how these new jokers play and interact. And if you want to change something, you need to redo the set up. Sharing a set up is also not really possible. That's why I'm making a system that hopefully does most of that for you. Though I keep postponing working on it because I'm stuck on UI stuff, haha

Also, with MF talking about wanting to do a cube, I'd also love to be able to add custom rules to a set like that, as far as joker slots, ante scaling etc. goes

Yea my mod isn’t gonna go that far ever, I made so many terrible design decisions, it’s getting really hard to consider my choices with the mod.

the goal of Balatrostuck commons is to add more options for rigging runs because Balatrostuck adds the funny Scorpio card that blows all idea of probability out of the water

We had to literally turn probabilities into a mechanic that only cares about the probability number

I had an 'Ethereal Counter' idea for Kino which would destroy a card or joker when it's removed at the end of round, so I could create temporary cards and jokers, but I didn't enjoy the play pattern I'd made around it, so I never ended up using them.
