Art and music appreciation thread! Also appreciation for the sound design, which often gets overlooked.

I've got a few examples here, but please, post the ones you really like as well!

The soundtrack was composed by LouisF, and slowed/pitched down for the game.

RE-ANNOUNCEMENT

The Daily Discussion for the final day is already decided, and with the release of 1.0, Daily Discussions are going on hiatus. I think Daily Discussions will be of a higher quality after waiting a period of time after release, but If someone else wants to take over to do these anyway, that's fine by me.

Final Daily Discussion: Leaks

I am still willing to be flexible on this topic if there are objections.

Uh oh

marble roost
#

the music is very fitting in everything and the sound effects are pretty good too, the art is also very well made, it's pleasant to look at, so, good job to local thunk and everyone else involved

fickle gorge
#

i love the soundtrack, but i do wish there was a little more variation

sudden sage
#

I always loved the fact it's pixeled

fickle gorge
#

besides a couple filters

sudden sage
#

Same with dndg

tall ibex
#

pixel art is great

sudden sage
#

Glad it didn't go down vector

#

Seeing vector jinbo would be so blursed

#

And just gunna say it now, my favorite joker art out of all that we've seen is bean by a long shot

tall ibex
#

post it!

sudden sage
#

I dint have bean.png 😭

tall ibex
#

it's probably in the leaks doc, yeah?

sudden sage
#

yeah but im lazy

cloud rain
#

Wiggly lines

tall ibex
#

wiggly lines indeed, member with the soul art as their pfp

sudden sage
#

thats the SOUL?

#

it looks like trance

tall ibex
sudden sage
#

lmao

#

tbh op shading

#

thats it

cloud rain
#

I think my favorite thing about the art is how simple localthunk keeps things. Not many colors, clean designs. It's easy to recognize jokers at a glance.

sudden sage
#

mhm

#

except rip people forgetting lusty/greed/wrath/glut

#

also why does wraith look so much more badass up close

tall ibex
#

vibe check

#

🫵

sudden sage
#

i like apple juice

tall ibex
#

you pass

sudden sage
#

tbh i never noticed wraiths body melts downward, and the smile goes across the entire artwork

#

i just thought it was a over exagerated joker god with funny thunder bg

winter surge
#

out of the demo my fave art is gift card

#

it just looks swell

carmine beacon
#

i love the music so much

cloud rain
#

Thinking about it gros michel might just be the most iconic non-jimbo joker in the game

carmine beacon
#

i listen to songs on repeat for hours at a time anyway so the repetitiveness is actually nice

tall ibex
#

y'all should post your favorite arts so we can all appreciate together

carmine beacon
#

no need B) its already in my profile picture

tall ibex
carmine beacon
#

everyone else should still post theirs though

cloud rain
#

Mine would be soul, hit the road and ride the bus I guess. I have a soft spot for ride the bus because it's the one that hooked me in the game, there was something fascinating about it

fickle gorge
sudden sage
#

mine top 3 art is bean, HtR, and D.grat
for general stuff, wraith, bean, and verdant leaf

#

unironically i love verdant leafs bossblind art

#

its so good for being like 15x15

fickle gorge
#

superposition, immolate. and seance for me

sudden sage
#

immolate is a good pick

#

fire is cool

fickle gorge
#

burnt joker honorable mention

sudden sage
#

hehe

#

toast

#

😋

cloud rain
#

Superposition is a nice pick, I love jokers using a gradient background

#

I shut music off in almost everything I play, because I want to either (a) hear my own music if the game sounds aren't terribly important, or (b) hear the game sounds. DooMII is a notable exception.

#

I do like the visuals in this game, especially things like glass cards, and especially polychrome glass. And the joker art is often hilariously and whimsical.

sudden sage
#

TURN OFF THE SUSSY MUSICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC (if yknow, yknow)

#

||also im sorry for doing that, saw a oppurtuinty and took it||

#

The art and music in this game makes it what it is. The gameplay is exquisite, but if it had a more generic artstyle I probably wouldn't have given it a shot in the first place. It's so unique, and just so good

#

I heard that if localthunk could print out a poster size joker for his wall, he's pick Baseball Card

#

Personally I'd love a poster size Hit the Road

brave locust
#

I kinda want an album of all the jokers. But then I remembered Vagabond and Half Joker exists...

bright hamlet
#

Balatro, the coffee table art book

tall ibex
#

indeed

brave locust
#

I wonder if thunk would make the art available publicly. If not that's all good as well

winter surge
#

I wonder what bean will do

tall ibex
#

it will

#

be delicious

median meadow
#

I think the art is great and i like the current soundtrack, but i wish there was more diversity with the music

tall ibex
#

I'm a bit confused, because the instruments do change when you do certain things

#

like opening the packs, being in the shop, and I'm pretty sure the boss blind has a different vibe too

median meadow
#

Was that already there in the sept demo or just the newer ones, because i have mostly played with sound off after that point, because i felt it was getting repetetive

tall ibex
#

I thought it was

median meadow
#

if thats the case i should pay more attention to the music

brave locust
#

Oh btw, I should say this again here - immolating a glass card makes the glass shattering sfx. So in theory if you can immolate 5 glass cards...

#

Or I guess you could also just roll the (1/4)^5 chance
