A second hanafuda mod project lol. Well I'm not quite sure where I'm going exaclty with this quite yet, but at least I did something--I successfully* modified the cards base chip values. Feel free to make suggestions of possible jokers or other things

(*Not tested extensively yet, there may still be issues ofc.)

@misty spindle are you still working on this mod? also what version of the card game is this based on?
I'm more familiar with the korean Hwatu side of it but the Japanese version looks similar
It would be cool if matching ribbons, animals (godori), and stamps would give you extra chips or mult based on the real game
this was my existing godori card meant as a joker
misty spindle
I based it on the Japanese version which is indeed similar. The main difference is that November and December suits are switched (in Korean Hwatu, November is Paulownia and December is Willow, but in Japanese Hanafuda, November is Willow and December is Paulownia), otherwise all cards are the same.
I've not really worked on this since I've posted it tho ^^'

is the scoring system the same?
misty spindle
Don't know that actually--I've used the general 20, 10, 5 and 1 base values for brights, seeds, ribbons and chaff respectively. (Specific games like koi-koi will have specific scoring)
next blade
In Hwatu,
3 matching ribbons are 3 points
3 stamps are 3 points, 4 stamps are 4 points, 5 stamps are 15 points
3 birds = 5/6 points (?)
10 normal cards are 1 point, and each normal card after is one point each
5 of any ribbon is 1 point, and each ribbon card after is one point each
5 of any animal is 1 point, and each animal card after is one point each
there are specific exceptions, but even though its important to Hwatu itself it might be a headache to any mod enjoyers lol
misty spindle
Yeah these are specific to the game of go-stop I think though. Which is similar to Japanese koi-koi and is one of the games that can be played with these cards ^^
next blade
hwatu and go-stop are the same thing
misty spindle
Also the vocabulary is different, I'm guessing what you call stamps and birds are what I call brights and seeds respectively
No technically go-stop is the game played with hwatu cards :p
misty spindle
Even though there might not be other popular games in hwatu's case hence the confusion. (a similar confusion exists with hanafuda and koi-koi since a lot of people are mostly familiar with the game of koi-koi, which is actually fairly simular to go-stop)
next blade
also why i dont know any of the official names for anything since im only familiar with the korean terms lol
misty spindle
Fair enough
next blade
koi koi looks similar but the scoring system is a smidge different
misty spindle
yeah it is quite different, although I don't think I'd use the combinations' values, but rather the combinations themselves (either as additional poker hands or in synergy with new jokers)
and most combinations look the same
next blade
like we could make it more smilar to gostop/koi koi scoring
with any matched pairs going to a "center pile"
and then scoring occurring at the end of the round
def depends on how good your coding skills are lol
i can imagine the blinds are based not on chips/mult but on points like in the traditional games
well, points replacing chips
misty spindle
well I don't think I'm going as far as implementing the matching pair mechanic and neither am I replacing the chips/mult mechanic. Just like vanilla Balatro itself has very little to do with actual poker gameplay, this mod would not have much to do with actual go-stop or koi koi gameplay either, but would rather simply add a hanafuda flavor to the game. (The idea of the hybrid deck is so that everything already existing in the game remains compatible, but it's also possible to see a full hanafuda deck with exclusively hanafuda-based jokers and hands, and which would take inspiration from many hanafuda games such as koi-koi, hana-awase, hachi-hachi etc. Another possibility is also to look at kabufuda games as well for further inspiration)
next blade
hmm
maybe instead of adding cards with all of the ribbons and such
maybe we can replace some seals with Brights and banners?
and make it so scoring multiple will grant you chips/mult?
and animals score like your normal 3oak, 4oak, 5oak?

@next blade there have been 13-month hanafuda decks; you may wish to look into those

thanks for lmk!
apparently there are 2 extra suits?
jolly solar
Matsui Tengudō made a 13-month deck and a 14-month deck
jolly solar
Where'd you find that? It's very familiar 
next blade
The art I made was primarily for Korean Hwatu specifically
but I might add 13th and 14th months as a harder to get but more powerful ranks
fierce bronze
This sounds so interesting
next blade
the idea was to make an entire new deck type with these
i havent gotten around to actually learning lua and brainstorming ideas
thats in the distant future though
next blade
im. so sorry.
also no need to be sorry lol this is a project i touched 8 months ago and benched because thats what happens with a lot of projects 
dense cypress
i know the feeling.
