#Cryptid - An unbalanced Balatro mod (1) [Old]
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
6 Spectrals
31 Vouchers
8 Skip tags
55 (?) Keys (If there's one for every deck)
18 bosses
4 final bosses
Theres another deck not listed in the spreadsheet making 41 decks and 56 (?) keys
And theres the key booster packs which dont have a name yet
This
wait where did you get 18 bosses
31 Vouchers (21 Tier III + 5 Tier II + 5 Tier I)
22 Boss Blinds (12 Normal + 4 Final + 6 Legacy)
41 Decks
56 Keys (15 Base + 41 Cryptid)
8 Skip Tags
6 Spectrals
213 Total```
is this good for now?
Just looking at this is insane lmao
lol
we need a progress spreadsheet
but yeah that looks good
I love how we almost have more decks than jokers
is it better for the entries to be divided into multiple sheets?
lel
We still need names for these:
Scaling Deck (Deck {Name in use} / Idea by Mystic Misclick):
Start with 3 eternal scaling jokers. +1 Joker slot. Deck starts with only 5 Polychrome Lucky Red Seal 2s of Spades.
Key Booster Pack (Item Pack {Needs a proper name} / Idea by y_not_tony):
Contains 2 keys. (Mega and Jumbo variants work similarily to how other Mega and Jumbo variants work)
idk but i thought of some stake ideas
Summit Deck?
Lockbox Pack?
idk i asked chatgpt for a few ideas
and most of them are bad
- All stickers can stack onto each other
- Stickers can appear on all purchasable items
- The chances of getting a Common Joker increases
- Final Boss Blinds can appear past ante 4
- Rerolls increase by $2 per reroll
- Vouchers restock every 2 antes```
these are some good ideas
I'm going to try and finish porting Cryptid to Steamodded 1.0.0 in the meantime
I already got Iterum ported
noice
might as well brainstorm some more
also the base version of steamodded adds an extra suit because why not
infinite suits mod, which adds randomized suits that are dynamically created on startup
porting is going well so far
they nerfed debug mode
Insane
- All stickers can stack onto each other
- Stickers can appear on all purchasable items
- The chances of getting a Common Joker increases
- Final Boss Blinds can appear past ante 4
- Rerolls increase by $2 per reroll
- Vouchers restock every 2 antes
- -1 Booster Pack slot
- Win ante is set to ante 10
- Voucher cost is increased by 50%
- Big Blinds can become Boss Blinds
- Blind rewards decrease by $2
- Reroll cost never resets
- Shops can have Blank items```
might of gone overboard
reroll cost never resets sounds like the old pack thing that people hated
maybe shops can have face down items
what about a Locked sticker (can't be used x rounds after obtaining it)
too similar to perishable
all of them
: )
Big blinds becoming final boss blinds after ante 4 cant wait
There'd probably be a seed that'd do that
imagine if mod support was easy to add to seed searcher
this wouldn't even need a searcher
maybe like 30% for the big to be a boss and 5/30 for it to be a final boss
so 1/6?
yep
5/30 for a blind to turn final or 5/30 for the big blind to become final
how I'd implement it would be to just not prevent boss blinds from spawning, which makes it 1/6
a blind to turn final
it'd be about 3% for both to happen
also nice job steamodded
Say bye to your small blinds buckaroo
🪓
Last stake just removes big blinds
universum works now, although you did correctly predicted that steamodded restructuring caused an error
all skip except without the tags
"All ante based restrictions for boss blinds are removed"
I just realized I have no idea to test Gateway because consumables are broken
wait nevermind
we need either 90 or 75 jokers for the funny
So we can add more decks and still have less decks than jokers
also finally balanced this joker in the meantime
and with that, everything is ported to 1.0.0
Is Maximized + Pareidolia + like 100 Blueprints + Mime + Baron still op
ok maybe less than 100 blueprints
maximized pareidolia is mime baron simulator
After obtaining $100, 15% of money is taken at the end of each ante
Taxes
finished porting it to 1.0.0
i don't like seeing people overcome economic struggle in Balatro
15% of money will be taken after every ante when $ is greater than $100
Surely
we need one more for a round 24
Next up: Adding more enhancements
and more tarots^
All rare jokers are perishable :)
1/2 chance to retriger card twice
enhancement
hmmm
The Eclipse (Tarot)
Enhance 1 selected card to an Echo Card {1/2 chance to retrigger card twice}
ok, now time to add the effects
going to change the localization to "Start with a deck containing only Bonus Cards"
once like 5-ish jokers are added it would be nice to have a demo link
if not thats fine but thats what i think might be a good point
there are like 50 jokers :)
We need 26 more for 75

What's new in v0.5.1
No formal patchnotes this time, but there are a lot of new changes, including:
Ideas from the winners of the Jolly Open competition hosted on the Cryptid Discord:
A vouch...
Fixed a bug where only the mantissa of numbers were being loaded properly from savefiles
Note: For installing the latest release of Cryptid, use the version bundled in Cryptid's latest release
pot of jokes doesn't have the implemented check mark
Theres the spreadsheet for it
just noticed
Got it
in terms of being implemented there are 4 jokers and 1 spectral
which jokers are added so far?
Universum, Iterum, Pot of Jokes, Maximized
mmmm nice
I'm adding 8 decks now though so then I might have enough for a release
I'm writing it in the alpha version of Steamodded that's still buggy so I'll wait at least until then
niiice...
like all the consumables are removed
good news is that making this was easy, and I can reuse the same code for all 8 decks
Also does Gateway function properly?
Cool
(although I need testing to see if people are actually getting the 0.3%, I upped it to like 50% just to test)
just checking so I could check it off
Btw just a request but can you make Dropshot next?
sure
going to wrap up for the night after enhanced decks tho but when I work on this next
ty :)
some of the textures may need to be changed but all the enhancement decks are there now
for now I'm just using the enhancement as the art but that could change
my two favorite deck names
going to do a run on stone card deck to see how hard it is
all the planets will be pluto so shouldn't be too hard surely
Stoned Deck
\
Stoner's deck please
alr
let me know if there should be any different names for the other enhancement decks, I just used the tarot name
See-Through Deck for glass?
Deck of Justice goes hard though
leave the undertale stuff to balatrotale
two best jokers for this build
noice
gn
gn
lmao
alr, gn then
gn
You played a straight, nothing wrong with it
By the way, is any available version past the one with Iterum and Universum?
The source code has everything I added so far (requires Steamodded 1.0.0 though)
Isn't 0.9.8 the latest version?
They're working with the 1.0 alpha, which will require everyone to do rewrites
maybe to prevent the redeemed deck ticket combo you can just make it so that redeemed deck says when a voucher is purchased
Trying to use the Antimatter deck after gold staking Abandoned and Royalty deck:
Joker that halves or doubles the game speed
Now da question is, how the keys will look
I imagine them to be pretty small-sized, like tags
Heres an attempt at a Red Key for the Red Deck
Here it is upscaled
Actually I can shave off a few pixels
Heres a fixed version
Upscaled
I removed the 3 pixel empty border around it
I think we should have like 3-6 different backgrounds that the exotic jokers use to keep them more consistent
just a thought
m
Yo
can anybody convieniently drop the exact hex code of the respective colors for the blue, green, yellow, and black decks
Nevermind
m
How are like the special deck ones gonna look
It wasn't noteworthy
should my cursed stake ideas be included
Compound Interest:
When $ is greater than $100, gain 15% of total $ every ante
Percentage increases by 5% per consecutive payout
money
i just ripped this from my stake ideas and reversed it lmao
Might need some work but heres an attempt at the Conveyor Key (115)
Lemme know what you think
Upscaled
what is the conveyor deck supposed to look like?
idk
conveyor belt
this but the red in the key pictue and with a dark backgroud facing up or something
And also not just a baba is you sprite
lol
Yes it is
It’s gonna be like an entire dlc or 2 to the game lmfao
True
We casually quadrupled the number of decks in the game
Also I came up with a better name for key packs
Keychains
should there be a total to keep track
it's fine if no
If theres a way to auto generate the frames then yeah because im lazy lmao
current count on decks is 41
it'd be cool to see a percentage how much is done
we're so close guys
only 96% left!
And this number might go down as well
anyways time to get my thoguhts together and make like 10 more joker ideas or somethign
we should add more enhancements 
yes
this can't be cryptid without 20 of them
We have 1 new one and the 7 base ones
*8
bruh i need to find my old enhancement suggestions from like december
oh yeah we also need to put the stake suggestions on here
- All stickers can stack onto each other
- Stickers can appear on all purchasable items
- The chances of getting a Common Joker increases
- Final Boss Blinds can appear past ante 4
- Rerolls increase by $2 per reroll
- Vouchers restock every 2 antes
- -1 Booster Pack slot
- Win ante is set to ante 10
- Voucher cost is increased by 50%
- Big Blinds can become Boss Blinds
- Blind rewards decrease by $2
- Reroll cost never resets
- Shops can have Blank items
- Small Blinds are removed
- 35% of money will be taken after every ante when $ is greater than $100```
here you go
could you come up with like sixteen random colors and an order for the stakes you suggested @lime inlet
hell nah
Chili Pepper {Uncommon}:
Gains x.5 mult per round. Destroyed after 8 rounds.
starts at 1x
Every card that shares at least 1 attribute with this card gains [reward]
random idea i found
amiable enhancement
because they just want to be friends
that also should be like for a specific thing
maybe rank?
oh and we also need tarot cards for all of them
The Speaker for Echo (lol)
I might start listing key effects indiviually since some will have to differ slightly from decks
ah
New edition idea:
Foiololychrative
+20 chips, +4 mult, x1.2 mult, create a random negative joker when sold.
what
+0.5 joker slots
Only can hold half joker
New deck idea:
Very Fair Deck
-2 hands, -2 discards, Vouchers no longer appear in the shop.
Good luck gold+ staking this one sherlock!
does this look good
sure
cool
we about to hit that 200 mark with all these keys
I'm going to only do ones that have to differ slightly from deck effect
we already did lmao
Can't wait for the Key of Envy
Combined with lockpick
To redeem itself
100 times or something
Can't wait for deck of envy to redeem the Very Fair Key
💀
Let me change Unlocker so that it also applies to packs
also let me add all the stake ideas in a random order for now
just to spice things up
literally going to use a randomizer
oh wait
what if we did a few custom stickers
just share that spreadsheet to me, mathisfununderscore@gmail.com
i thought that was math is funderscore lmao
lmao
Banana Sticker
1/10 chance this joker is destroyed at the end of round
Perishable Sticker but more evil
k did it
Jokers can gain stickers after purchase
Rearranged Sticker
When Blind is selected, Joker is shuffled and cannot be moved
that one feels a bit jank
we could have jokers spawn in shop as pinned
since that's already a sticker-like modifier
I like the idea of multiple-of-8 stakes being very symbolic/difficult modifiers
Banana stake
put them on the spreadsheet too
for ease of tracking
ok I came up with 16 stake colors
Good luck Platinum Staking the Very Fair Deck buckaroo
Link Sticker
Links itself to one of your obtained jokers. If either are destroyed or sold, both will be destroyed/sold
I wonder if you can combine those stakes ideas with the house rules mod
I think I figured out the changes every round logic but I still have to do everything else
So, harder than gold chip?
Make it a diamond chip
Oh god
I have this one as Emerald Stake (#23)
Do we have stakes from 8 to 16?
But to we have the difficulties and stuff
same with names
all the effects are there too
I also just finished dropshot so let me showcase it
My brain is not braining enough
I didn’t look at the dock for 16 hrs and the amount of stuff has basically doubled
Jesus fuck I don’t think ya outpacing this
my goal is probably like 1 per day
this has to be my favorite joker effect I've made so far
@cold sandal
Oh I didn't notice that
Thats something with most of the jokers i've made hold on
Ima fix that
Ok I know this is like mod oriented but I gotta complain to someone that will at least see this, my 12 yr old pc doesn’t work again, great…
i may or may not have allowed them to use my stake ideas for the mod
Nice
the completion percentage dropped to 3.11% lmao
technically speaking the author of the keys is the one who made the idea of the keys in that way
aka mathisfun
Fixed Spiritual Cleanse (again)
no shot
FIWB(fuck it we ball)
my dropshot is X12.6 mult :(
Gotta love the wild card deck
however universum can clear that in a couple planets
and iterum is iterum
orthographiam shouldnt be that hard to code in right?
Vendere + Clone Machine Voucher
so is the style scheme for exotics 3 layers
15 quintuples nice
so like 60 double tags?
i got universum
Should I change the link for the Dropshot and Spiritual Cleanse art so they link to the fixed versions?
sure
Shapeshifter:
When Blind is selected, turn into a random Joker matching the highest rarity of owned Jokers
yeah I think we're fine
Invis joker this and get literally any exotic
Fellas I think I know the joker that he got :p
yeah because I said it
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Oh :(
I think I mentioned in a different thread an idea of a card edition fusion for glass and stone type
Quartz, has extra chips and doubles mult but is less likely to smash
Whether or not it would regain its suit and rank I dunno
m
Follow the leader:
If played hand contains 5 cards and only 1 scoring card, retrigger it 9 times
Colorshift:
Every Polychrome, Holographic, and Foil joker will randomly cycle between being Polychrome, Holographic, and Foil at the end of each round
The Exiled:
x7 mult if played hand contains exactly 1 card
i think the last one has been done already lol
oh
ok
Unnamed Joker
If hand contains exactly 1 nonscoring card, add a random seal to it
just realized with the stakes
you could theoretically have a rental, perishable, eternal, and banana sticker on like a voucher
Perishable sticker Banana sticker Gros Michel
We need a tag-sized icon for Cryptid
Art for one of the tags or stickers would probably work
m
We could also just make it m
m is just my catchphrase now
One of my school’s club’s Discord server has a channel where everyone just types the lowercase letter m
If you type something else you get temporarily banned from chatting
even something sneaky like м
lol
what if we bring back new game+ but a little different
New Game-
NewgameX
sounds interesting, what do you discuss there?
(also do messages have to be just "m" or can they be "mmmm" for example?)
m
m
rn
currently grinding tiles zen mode rn so not much cryptid
52 jokers right now
anyways
m
we gotta have an m joker
exotic
description just appears as m
but its effect is if all cards in your deck contain an m in their name and all your jokers contain an m and you have 5 (or more) jokers you automatically beat the blind
In one hand
Even if the blind requires infinity score
what if there was a Joker that allowed you to automatically beat a blind but you'd have to score a very specific random score
The Match
Must score within 5% above Blind requirement
I have a crazy idea
What if there was a final boss at the 8th and 16th ante, and then at the 24th there is a FINAL final boss
Which is harder than all the rest
what about ante 32
what if every 4 antes it combines 2 random boss/final boss blinds
or it does something like a back to back situation
maybe
legendary joker
Every time a card is played give it +1 mult with a max of 12 mult
Removes mult when joker is sold
this is the first legendary joker suggestion
which is crazy since there are about 50 joker submissions rn
actually wow
what would u change with it
we have a new rarity called exotic(naming scheme is latin stuff)
and since this is the unbalanced mod
oh yh true
people have just gone wild
yh exotic is like the new legendary
i mean one exotic gives a card 1X mult per letter in its name
yh insane
Since that's the most broken legendary
perkeo is perkeo
how do u get exotics then
Do we make an exotic perkeo?
Tbh that would balance it
we should add legendaries to shop then and make them really rare
did i see the word
balance
the only rule is that it can't be boring
everything else goes
I mean my original suggestion for my exotic iterum was even more busted
Math made it but I gave the idea
I wanted x2 not 1.5
llo
an exotic like blueprint but it copies literally every other joker in the order that they're in
i swear i was just about to say is there an
what mod
Tarlton yeah
o ggs ill get it now so
I forgot the name
jelly mod is a little
I think jelly mod is just not at a good state rn
broken
Wait for the rework
yh true
Tbh I would like porting them into this mod but we would need permission
Tarlton and dagonet
And maybe cicero
Those 3 are busted as hell
dagonet goes hard
what about 4 rare tarots that destroy all cards of a suit
Sounds like a good spectral idea
also i should prob ask math to redo redeo(lmao redeo=redo)
or spectral yh
(hahaha)
i suggested redeo to be -1 ante per $100 spent on Jokers
Tbh how would you spend so much on jokers
it's definitely worth it in the late game
You'd need to just randomly buy and sell jokers
when you have a lot of money and you wanna scale really high you have a joker that essentially gives infinite time
We need the infinite score mod to make scaling worth the effort
is there one
that'd be great
imagine you're at ante 400 with the mod and you think you're gonna die so you just redeem anaglyph
I doubt anything can reach ante 400
if anything can itll be this mod
no chance
we also have the amazing google play card
Joker that exponentially gains xmult up to 10 the closer the game is to running at 1fps
So just limit your fps and stonks
i have one question tho
why is google play card, the joker that can give e100 mult, a rare
Maybe cuz of the chance
wheel is 1 in 4//
Make it a secret 1 in 100
plot twist: google play card can't appear in shop
Lmao
A joker that gains mult on wheel failures
too free
just thought of an idea that makes failing wheel even more broken

Defectum(Failure)
hold up i gotta format this
this is kinda hard to describe without making a paragraph or confusing the player
When a listed probability triggers, this Joker gains 1X for the denominator of the probability
so 5/6 chance he gains 6xmult
So when I hit a 1 in 4 I get x4?
lucky card would be op with this
gamble
Jokers that add xmult based on how quickly/long it takes to reach the end of counting every card and joker effect
Lucky card abuse xd
what rarity
latin name means exotic
Damn with the run I had the other day I'd never have finished playing
Most of my deck turned to lucky cards, I had oops all sixes and three Heart Paladins from Fusion Jokers, which meant every card was getting tapped six times each
what about a joker that sets the boss blind to 125% of your highest scoring hand
Sounds more like a boss blind
like the calculated score of a hand you played? or of the default ones in your run info
it'd be a very easy one
1st one ig
logically speaking unless you literally gave it your all one hand you could beat the blind in 2+ hands
All of my current Joker ideas that haven't been implemented yet:
Compound Interest: When $ is greater than $100, gain 15% of total $ every ante. Percentage increases by 5% per consecutive payout
[Unnamed]: When Blind is selected, turn into a random Joker matching the highest rarity of owned Jokers```
Didn’t somebody suggest the unnamed one already?
I swear I saw it somewhere
long joker: +5 mult for each hand remaining, common
Rick Astley: never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down (when scored, rickrolls you)
Make it a legendary or exotic so you will cry when you get it
Prob legendary because those are real people
General Sales Tax (Like General as in Army): all jokers you have not purchased before in a run are instantly purchased for free (if you have space), passive effect of Showman
I think Ortalab has something like this
Well damn
yep, Graffiti
For an actual effect to work with this:
On final hand of round, all cards give +150 chips when scored (Will never give you up, has a chance of opening a browser window with a rickroll)
I think it would be funnier if it did nothing tho except open the browser window when you play a hand
Unbalanced can also mean really underpowered
ppl would just sell it
Maybe it could do that and just replace the game music with Never Gonna Give You Up
Oh true
And also there could be a challenge where you start with eternal rick astley
Advert popup you have to close inside of the game like the advert nuisance in FNAF the restaurant management one
I wish i could add it to the sheet
Purgare (Exotic) - When sold, destroy every card in your deck except for the selected cards
ok so im thinking of doing some voucher sprites
and
the top of the voucher part has some corresponding colour
so
i think it would work the top part was the main colour of the voucher
like red for this and yellow for the tarot acclimator etc
also the tier 3 vouchers can be multilayered but idk how that will work and if it would even fit :P
if it was in here that was me
im simply rounding up all the ideas i've shared in this thread so far
ah alrighty
just realize defectum isn't a great name for this idea
how tf is success the only antonym of failure
it literally doesn't translate to anything different in latin
does Felis(trigger) work then?
The Dice(might be jank af):
1 in 2 chance to win blind per hand played
Each consecutive failure doubles the chance to win
i think i did well on this one
Stock
how in the flippity flop do you make letters this beeg
copy my text and you'll see(that's how i learned)
i mean right click(if on pc) and you'll see copy text
then you paste the text to see what character i used
noice
Going to end up with a recursive voucher inside voucher
ok i need to see something, either seprite bugged or it bugged
ok aseprite bugged
ok so
can we replace the gray stake with
celadon stake?
its like this colour
gray stake is an actual poker chip thing so nah
We can do celadon stake for one of the others
well i mean i did the first 7 already so were chillin
Yes
thank
dis better?
I want it to be different-looking from gray but I think this is good enough
I’m going to start trying to add stakes since there’s not really any “more stakes” mods
And then I’m going to try and add a way to dynamically enable and disable parts of the mod for streamers who just want the harder stakes
ok so should i give the diamond stake some sort design or something?
There was an idea which was really good but not a mod
oh and speaking of, does the mod have a logo?
Just the Cryptid spectral best idea
so the logo could just be a key ig?
Does anyone have an image of it btw?
Also I realized that gold stake uses a shader so I can do that for the metals
thank fuck
There’s also no stake API yet so I’m on my own here :)
i wish you luck
can't wait for BU to attempt Plat Stake
Make a stake api problem solved
just wanted to confirm, dis looks fine?
wait nvm i have an idea
just the red for the pop of colour
Teleporter Deck:
After Boss Blind is defeated, teleport to a random ante between the past and upcoming 4 antes
Theres an exotic perkeo thats for jokers instead of consumables
Platinum stake on the Very Fair Deck
lolo
trying to get more than 8 stakes to appear right now
I had to delete gold stake for this to show up
Also math I have an idea I wanted for a while, one of the old ideas I had
Unbreakable glass cards
Idk how the joker would be called but it should be added
Back in the days of the poly glass deck
Remember that?
I remember suggesting that to steamo
Duplicate:
Whenever a playing card is destroyed, create 2 copies of the destroyed playing card
That could be an idea but I just want a simpler idea that wouldn't fill the deck
Imagine getting that in the fragile challenge
Idk I'll have to think of a name
your own personal dna
But better
Plat Stake with Chaotic Deck would be funny
Oh golly gee
Nice
dang i can barely see the key
discord being discord
m
hows the stakes coming along @clear hare
finishing up the API
I have to go in 15 mins so then I'll work on it later
SMODS.Stake({
name = "Gold Chip",
key = "stake_gold",
omit_prefix = true,
pos = {x = 2, y = 1},
modifiers = function()
G.GAME.modifiers.enable_rentals_in_shop = true
end,
loc_txt = {}
}):register()
still have to add a way to set up the colors and toggle which stakes are shiny
finished it I think
so do we have all 24 stakes in?
No
I’m making the stake API better now
So different mods can have different stake progressions while being loaded at once
woag
who would have thought that just making a silly little unballanced mod would lead to the birth of a stake api
yep
to think it all started by me wanting to combine 2 jokers into 1 for 5 joker inf
And ended up bugging math for this a little too much
And with the other mods I also had loaded
Let's say dagonet and this didn't go so well together
Math remembers that
And in the end the final version ended up being weaker than what I wanted by 0.5 mult
I just realized I need to make stickers of every single new stake 💀
Aren't they just the same but with no depth?
Yep, but it was like half an hr of recolouring for the stakes
I just realized I need to make API for new stake stickers
Wait huh 32???
Also just an arrow that shows the upper 8 instead of the base 8 would work
I'll probably get to that later as well lmao
Crimson Stake. Crimson Stake. (jk)
petition to rename Maroon Stake to Crimson Stake
Bruh
deck of envy :3
deck of greed
i thought it was Devil's Deck lmao
im going down the sin decks rn
Beelzebub... fucking lovely ugh................... how do i even
yeah i don't think im doing this one today
That would make math never be able to finish the mod, unless you don't consider idea suggestions
Is there more ante scaling besides purple?
maybe cryptid icon could be a scaled down version of the cryptid in the spectral
chat can you see all the stake restrictions?

that's too cruel honestly, the gimmicky ones are funnier
I think you gotta add a 3rd ante scaling stake somewhere
oh god not vouchers restocking every $2 antes
fixed that btw
Crimson Stake
also whats the resolution for the mod icon
and brown stake going off screen
32x32
Make it so crimson stake adds a third ante scaling
What's the scaling between the 2 existing ones?
The increase, is it by a consistent percentage or not?
which idea should be scrapped for more ante scaling?
(the order can be changed around)
it's not dumb
Bronze imo
Imo that's the one that has to go
imo cyan is kinda eh
If my blueprint turns to banana I'm raising hands
Gotta love getting banana sticker Maximized on a baron mime build
what if topaz changes to
Jokers can gain stickers after purchase
It just doesn't fit the game
cause why not
most entries in this mod don't
Some of them definitely do more than that
That's for sure
After banana I think cyan has to go
But replace banana with ante scaling and problem solved
this one is just unfair
I hear y'all, I'll do that
Wait yellow is ante scaling letsgo
I say call it crimson in the name of crimson
Hidden Easter egg
Now for how much scaling, what's the average increase for all 10 antes?
I say we make it a bit harder than the average amount
Still gotta be hard but there's still the previous stakes
If theres another Score Scaling increase it should be 9th imo
I mean I think it can be moved to 9 it makes sense
That'd make the third, sixth, and ninth stakes the scaling stuff
i have an actually decent change to cyan stake
Start with $2
counting by 3s
start with $0 :O
I like that, let's ship it
nah we gotta make the change seem not that bad until you go in debt cause everything is rental
Who needs interest debt is the way to go
stake 32 when
that means 2 more ante scaling stakes
i figured out how we're going to fit more stakes in the menu bar
squish the stakes
nice
The steak stake
I think this mod should come with like an interface for picking and choosing stakes, like each modifier becoming points maybe
food jokers are 5x more likely to appear
I saw a suggestion for that with even a mock up interface but I lost it a while ago
The more modifiers you choose the more points you get and the higher stake you get
the point is they just get harder until it's ridiculous
I also feel like with game balance more than 1 or 2 extra scaling stakes might just get unfun
I mean if this gets integrated into house rules that might also be fine I guess
I mean most of these would make the game unfun but I see this as a challenge
true
Felis(Trigger): When a listed probability triggers, this Joker gains Xmult equal to the probability's denominator
just bumping this up
Imagine a lucky card triggering for the money
reworded it a bit
This Joker gains 1X Mult for the denominator of each listed probability trigerred
that's the reword I used
*X1
Also I need a name for a rare joker to make glass unbreakable
I might be saying this just because I want more stickers
Any ideas?
I'm down to go for stake 32
100 stakes or bust
perma boss blind effects
I'm going to add the metadata for the next 8 stakes while y'all cook
We already have a "Final Boss Blinds can appear after Ante 4"
nice
We need a "Final Boss Blinds can appear anytime except for the first ante"
it's really annoying that one of the grays used in spectrals is the exact same as the aseprite background
I asked chatgpt for some help which one yall think is the best
- Crystal Ward
- Ethereal Shield
- Vitreous Barrier
- Shatterguard Charm
- Quartz Resilience
- Fragile Immunity
- Glassbane Aura
- Luminous Fortification
- Prism Protection
- Fragility Cloak
I'm thinking 4
Idk
fixed ver
they all kinda suck tbh
sapphire stake rework: 25% of money will be taken after every ante
because who is going to reach $100 in a normal run on sapphire stake
up to $20?
So like once you do manage to get a good eco going just to end up with 25% being taken doesn't sound fun
or $10-15
I'll go with 10 for now
Here are some stakes
Banana Stickers can now appear on Jokers
-1 Joker Slot
Final Boss Blinds can appear on any ante except for the first
Increased Ante Scaling
Blinds can't be skipped
Food Jokers and Banana Stickers are 2x more likely to appear
xMult Jokers give the sqrt of their Mult
Tarots And Spectrals target 1 less card each (Minimum of 1)
In any case you don't want to end up going too hard with too many things on eco since you'll just end up with unplayable stakes
Don't forget you have 32 stakes
Boss rush stake could be a final stake or something, second idea is sounds nice and not too harsh on eco (depending on what gets affected and how), imo for skipping just change the rewards to not be as good, food jokers appearing more often sounds fun but idk about x3, and the square root thing can make or break some jokers and -1 hand size was never fun sorry
[WIP/Concepting] - Cryptid - An unbalanced Balatro mod
(clearly much more than Jokers now)
I feel like 8 is the perfect starting amount and I think reducing it with no benefit is just removing a fun factor
7 is too hard and 9 is too easy
is the art done?
I like -1 Joker Slot for stake 28, we need something brutal for stake 32
far from it
-1 joker slot is even more brutal
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y6st5Uf08xz0nNjXJ0LZiBo6TG26F5IZRkV4xulZicI/edit#gid=0
everything without a name on here is fair game for the most part
that for ante 32 is good then
*stake
I keep on saying ante lmao
I mean maybe
alr sure i could do that then
Updated some of the stakes
Banana Stickers can now appear on Jokers
-1 Joker Slot
Final Boss Blinds can appear on any ante except for the first
Increased Ante Scaling
Blinds can't be skipped
Food Jokers and Banana Stickers are 2x more likely to appear
xMult Jokers give the 1.5th root of their Mult
Tarots And Spectrals target 1 less card each (Minimum of 1)
The tarot and spectral thing sounds fun considering it doesn't change much
I say we keep that
Blinds can't be skipped just removes tags from the game so it's not that good
I have a fun idea
I think rewards being changed is a better idea
When blind selected, add one random card to deck
I remembered about the Conspiracy, Superstition, and Urban Legend vouchers for the last one
just did the opposite
basically making it harder to optimize
a build
Oh my god that's evil I love it
there's Hologram but even then, it doesn't scale fast enough
Its even worse considering Hanged Man will only be able to remove 1 card at a time
Nah ya gotta add that I love that idea
can one of the stakes be "deck upsides are halved"?
Even slower because xMult Jokers give the 1.5th root of their Mult
Make it counter weighted so it can't be a card you have alot of
So you won't get another king for example
can't wait for 0.5 hands
maybe but with all the crazy deck ideas that's hard to quantify
my chips and mult boutta be half balanced
Imagine
lol ikr
If we wanna do this we should either remove -1 joker slot or 2x food jokers & banana stickers
I like -1 joker slot
-1 joker slot is a good one
Imagine that on Painted Deck
i can quantify
here's what I have on the doc
There are things that don't make sense being halved
Like blue deck
Giving you 0.5 hands
yes that makes sense
We could do something like
just play half of a hand
I could see it being done but it would also be a hassle to hardcode like 50 different half-decks
when there's already so many deck ideas here
+1 hand if you used 2 or less hands in the previous round
i can help with that
sure
In the end I think we can find better ideas
we can keep it for now
I kinda wanna do something with this:
xMult Jokers give the 1.5th root of their Mult
Scaling Jokers scale 25% slower
i should do art now
let me add the multistock voucher art to the doc before I forget
Values on Jokers are reduced by 25%
Lmao
I think I saved the cruelest for the final four
now we need stake names
I kinda did like normal colors for 9-16 and precious gems for 17-24
can the last stake be the unused joker stake?
Yeah stake 12
in silver stake
I think it's fine to buff it
I think you can reuse that stake for something else
because seeing a final boss in early antes is so different
we can again redo silver stake later
oh I have a cruel idea
Cards have a small chance to be drawn face down
(something like 1 in 25 idk)
Eh that's not too cruel then
yeah but if you rely on the same cards each round it can be brutal
and the odds can be twaked
we can probably replace silver stake with that
Depending on the odds it can be cruel
or stake 27
What's 27
half deck effects
Ah
I can see the doc but I'm on phone
im trying to think of a good naming scheme for the final stakes
And it's effort
we could do 7 sins again lmao
I think I'll go with replacing silver stake for now
the only thing I can really think of is using more vague words to describe the stakes and making the sprite like multicolored
things like Nebulous Stake and Gradient Stake
but I don't have the brainpower to come up with 8 of those rn
gn
Opal stake
white hole art
