#Alt. Balatro - A Mod That Turns Balatro On its Head!

Hello everyone! I'm working on a mod where Jokers swap aspects from their abilities with other Jokers! This mod will be a replacement mod, overhauling all 150 Jokers in the game with swapped variants!

You can find a list of the abilities here, I'm currently also making assets for the Jokers which I will also add to the doc sometime later. I wanna get a decent bit of work done before I actually start coding it in, around 50 Jokers conceptualized with abilities as well as assets, but any help/suggestions is appreciated along the way!

And here's all the current Jokers assets! (All subject to change, of course)

#

why does cavendish go back to gros michel

ashen pier
#

will there be an alternative version of this where each joker is a separate entity for Big Joker count?

fading flax
#

this is historically inaccurate

#

wait why is seance absurdly weak

#

if a hand contains a straight and a flush normally it's a straight flush

vagrant goblet
#

Seance and its swap sucks atm, I've wrote that on the spot and marked it with red as a "return to this later" kind of deal

#

So yeah Seance is practically unchanged but instead of a spectral it gives a tarot, which obviously needs rework

Historical accuracy be damned

dang i would totally play this if i could have the base jokers as well

#

oops should be "all probabilities are 50/50"

ashen pier
#

maybe in the future....

fading flax
#

dunno how you'd implement that though

I think it's better to focus on balance when there is a playable version of the mod out rather than get caught up in it in the planning stage

the last one is supposed to be the base Joker, he doesn't have a pair

#

I need a better graphic for him though

#

Ah

#

So you’re just swapping effects around?

#

Alright. Can i make one request

#

Have 2 versions of the mod for people to use: One that’s replacing them all like you have there and one that adds the jokers

#

See what shenanigans you can do mixing Balatro, Alt Balatro, and Ortalab

vagrant goblet
#

Sure, I'll look into a version that adds all 150 on top of the base 150 Jokers

tribal raven
#

Awesome

vagrant goblet
#

But right now my priority is a replacement, so I want to finish that first

tribal raven
#

Fair

#

Definitely gonna keep an eye on this

#

if you need art lmk, i just request that theres a way to keep the base game jokers as well

vagrant goblet
#

I'll also let you know! My art skills are definitely not up to the challenge but this being a personal project I'm unsure about involving other people atm, will definitely keep it in mind though

vagrant goblet
#

The mod is still alive! I've just been busy and also been mostly working on it in the background

#

I'll have a meaningful update on it soon enough
