Making wacky blinds, ideas welcome

wispy rapids

#

thaaanks

#

it gives no money and can only be summoned with a consumable

#

or something

#

I already got the blind change half working

hollow hill
#

idea: temporarily remove 2/3 of your deck so it's easy to run out of cards and lose

subtle wolf
#

That’s a good idea

brittle token
dire dew
#

average blind

fair moss
#

the Blind Blind

#

Chip requirement: 2x - 4x base

#

Chip requirement, number of hands, and number of discards are hidden

subtle wolf
#

good one

#

actually lemme convert to an mp4

#

ignore the card graphic its a placeholder

#

im guessing there is no way to have a custom blind to behave like small and big blind?

kindred turtle
#

i will propably do it myself but :
The Inverted : [suit] cards are buffed

atomic delta
#

if these are naturally occuring itd be sick

subtle wolf
#

Yeah, they would happen like any boss blind

subtle wolf
#

Except tiny blind

atomic delta
#

no i mean not like boss blinds but a different blind over small and medium

#

like big blind over small

#

or club blind over big that either buffs or debuffs clubs

dry schooner
#

literally blind: the whole screen is just black

kindred turtle
#

That would be the hardest blind i think

dry schooner
#

I meant it as a joke lol

#

If that were to somehow actually be put in the game, the blind requirement should only be like 0.1x or something

atomic delta
#

or make it so theres a small bit of light around ur mouse

subtle wolf
subtle wolf
#

nevermind

subtle wolf
#

whats the SM api function to add blind functionality???????

brisk sluice
#

All "type of card transcended significantly by your Jokers" are debuffed blinds

#

Might as well be just all cards are debuffed and there's nothing you can do to win anymore

#

Fold your hand, NOW!

fair moss
#

200 Chips
All cards are debuffed
All Jokers are debuffed

subtle wolf
#

you know what

#

im making a limbo keys blind

#

once i finish Blind Blind of course

subtle wolf
#

how the --- do i add ui elements

brittle token
subtle wolf
#

nah like a button but not a button

#

not interactible

#

i think i'll be able to add cardareas

brittle token
subtle wolf
#

no like a box

faint radish
#

make it like

#

blind

#

like we cannot see anything

faint radish
#

maybe a blind which can be like ; score exactly 5000

icy rock
#

Blind where you lose if you go over the score, you win if you run out of hands

subtle wolf
#

Bad Balatro Ideas

#

i decided to make it more than just blinds

dire sundial
#

Duplicator tag: Spawns a free joker that you already have in the shop

#

Obsidian Spade (final boss blind): All cards are drawn facedown, but the blind requirement is 1x the base rather than the usual 2x

subtle wolf
#

i dunno about those

#

not meme enough

#

sorry ._.

dire sundial
#

You want memes?

#

Tag tag tag: Next ante's small and big blind tags become Tag tag
Tag tag: Next played or skipped blind adds two additional random tags

crisp basin
#

Hmmm… what would be a bad blind… OH! I know! A blind where you have to score EXACTLY the amount of chips shown

#

(I am so evil 😈)

shrewd storm
#

The Attrition

  • Very large blind (6x base, equal to Violet Vessel)
  • Double hands and discards
subtle wolf
#

ooh there are ideas here

subtle wolf
#

im doing some stakes rn

#

first one is 'happy', second is 'joyous', and third is currently unnamed

shrewd storm
#

fire in the hole

subtle wolf
#

that works

#

l o n g

#

wide

subtle wolf
#

aw it isnt long in game

brittle token
#

Idk how Blinds work but see if you can change the size of a single one

subtle wolf
#

ok new solution

#

shrink it in the y-axis

#

i wonder what this is referencing

subtle wolf
brittle token
subtle wolf
#

longer stake

#

just need to get the extra skip tags set up

#

i think

brittle token
subtle wolf
#

it's only in the menu right now

brittle token
#

Hmmm still

subtle wolf
#

yeah this is promising

#

i can make a spin-off mod with the whole run in 1 big ante

subtle wolf
#

i mean... that's kind of an improvement

#

wait, i think the fifth one might be below

#

for some reason

#

I think I’m beginning to understand the ui system

brittle token
#

Maybe other people could even help

#

I think itayfeder and whoever made the mod that adds the Pray button have some more knowledge about the UI

#

The limits of my knowledge are manipulating tooltips poorly and knowing that some UIs have names

blazing pasture
#

I've done some UI things but not that much

floral inlet
#

didnt cryptid do something similar where a stake removed small blinds

blazing pasture
#

Yeah

#

It’s harder here though since you have to shrink the UI to fit 5 blinds

brittle token
#

I think adding a scroll bar or pages would be better

subtle wolf
#

So the “long” chain goes like this:
Long stake - Run ends after ante 10 (yes I stole this from cryptid)
Longer stake - Antes last 5 rounds
Desert bus stake - help me come up with an effect that will make runs last 10 hours but hopefully won’t be too obnoxious

#

There’s also a Gold Bus Stake, take a wild guess at what that does

brittle token
#

Whatever Desert Bus does but goldener

subtle wolf
#

Combines desert bus and gold stake

#

Duh

ember pebble
#

Oh this mod is gold

subtle wolf
#

w i d e sticker

hazy coyote
#

skibidi boss blind

  • on play/discard whole hand gets discarded and redrawn
  • played and discarded cards go back into deck
#

sigma boss blind

  • +5 hand size
  • reduce hand size by 1 per scored card
blazing pasture
hazy coyote
subtle wolf
#

that's a lot

subtle wolf
#

but i like the idea of returning to the beginning with every boss

#

It's Tag Time!

blazing pasture
#

Ah yes, the Tag Tag Tag

subtle wolf
#

gonna put "nil" as the number on the tarot art once i get ideas for tarots

#

ok it's 8:30 pm for me so i think i'll take a break

#

i've been developing the mod pretty much the whole day

#

you may still post ideas here, of cousre

dire sundial
#

The Hoarder: Add 5 random (unenchanted, unsealed, base edition) cards to your deck at the start of the blind.

The Trasher: Randomly destroy 5 cards in your deck at the start of the blind.

subtle wolf
#

(oh god i really cant keep up)

#

(i might have to close suggestoins soon)

keen thicket
#

Think tiny blind should give 1 dollar, because it's tiny, not none

#

lol

subtle wolf
#

already changed it

keen thicket
#

nice

keen thicket
#

Cards have stickers like eternal

#

Imagine rental cards stay in your hand (don’t use a card slot) but cost three to use

subtle wolf
#

Making a new type of consumables - Essence Cards!

#

The idea is to give jokers extra buffs similar to editions, but they aren't as major and they stack

keen thicket
#

Ooo that’s fun

subtle wolf
#

ok this looks kinda trash ngl

#

ehh whatever

keen thicket
#

Looks don’t matter as much as they play

kindred turtle
subtle wolf
#

I made the middle a bit lighter, we’ll see how that looks

subtle wolf
#

Well… it works on the basic Jimbo

#

With the mult

#

not on most others though

#

I’ll just make it a separate stat I guess

subtle wolf
#

dead chat alert

keen thicket
#

i'im just waiting for more updates

trail harbor
#

;-;

dire sundial
#

Once you get the more blinds per ante working like it should, I'd be interested in it for something in a less memey mod

subtle wolf
#

yeah I need to start working on the mod again…

#

it’s been a while

subtle wolf
#

I can almost feel the tumbleweed

#

This project is dead…

#

Perhaps I’ll return?

#

I’m not sure.

woeful nacelle
subtle wolf
#

Balatro is such a moddable game why did I even quit

subtle wolf
#

Hello

#

I am alive

#

Sorry for the wait

#

I'm back on the grind

subtle wolf
#

I actually got the skip tags working too???

#

It still wins you after the first boss but i think i might have just fixed it

dire bone
#

medium blind

subtle wolf
#

this is hard, man

#

Okay wait

#

What if I just make a utility mod that allows for this

#

separate of Bad Balatro Ideas

#

Is there an easy way to generate lovely patches

subtle wolf
#

Okay I'm going to be making it mostly with lovely because it will involve a lot of patching

subtle wolf
#

the utility mod is coming along well

dire bone
#

-# also will the utility mod have support for overwriting blinds in the list?

subtle wolf
#

Yeah I might once it’s closer to completion

dire bone
subtle wolf
#

But due to how I am doing this it may break some things with existing mods

#

Actually maybe I just start over and do it differently

subtle wolf
#

Slightly too many violet vessels

hearty wind
#

Pink triangle seal

#

Makes the black suit cards gay and the red suit cards lesbian

#

what these effects do are up to you

subtle wolf
#

wha

#

alright

subtle wolf
#

Okay the mod is coming along

subtle wolf
#

I have encountered a very weird problem

#

If I want to add more blinds I have to do it like this but it doesnt allow me to add a flexible amount

#

If I try adding any more after it just doesnt seem to work for some reason

#

Okay I may have figured out hte problemo

#

Yeah it works now!

#

Time to make it into a lovely patch because Idk why not

subtle wolf
#

I think I might make a separate post for it soon

subtle wolf
#

The yellow trials

visual jewel
#

the art isnt mine but yeah idk if this fits

#

i made the desc and everything else

subtle wolf
#

Oh uhh

#

I'm still getting suggestions apparently

subtle wolf
#

Putting some of my own ideas here so I don’t forget

#

A consumable that makes a card bigger/smaller in size

#

Actually kind of useful for seeing how far in the deck an important card is

subtle wolf
#

Beaver card rank

subtle wolf
#

Okay the utility mod should be working decently enough to release maybe

subtle wolf
#

Also if you play bad Balatro ideas with cryptid there will be an ascendant bus stake similar to gold bus

subtle wolf
#

just realized cryptid kinda did a similar thing to the more blinds mod

#

but they didnt make more blinds per ante so

subtle wolf
#

Cause you can make those the final ones in an ante with pointer

subtle wolf
#

Pointer can also make tags

#

Okay why am I rambling about cryptid in here

subtle wolf
#

I apologize for the lack of updates, I've had internet problems lately

#

Anyway I'm going to try making some editions

subtle wolf
#

yeah we have horses now

sick stone
#

Blind Ideas that might be too difficult to code in I don’t know:

The Hour Glass: Sets the game speed to 0.05, Resets after blind is defeated

The Switch: When encountered, removes the text from the “Play” and “Discard” buttons. The “Play” and “Discard” Button now have a 50% chance to swap positions after playing a hand. This effect is permanent even after defeating this blind.

The Sponser: Playing a hand will give you a 30 second unskipable advertisement. Defeating this blind gives you a + x 30 Second unskipable ad(s) where x is the total amount of Hands and Discards you had left

subtle wolf
#

I'm not sure how I'd go about the first two

#

Or the third one

sick stone
#

Well, I guess I lived up to the “Bad Balatro Ideas” by then. XP

subtle wolf
#

What if we turn sponsor into a voucher that adds a mini-shop to a blind where you can buy 1-2 cards

#

that is actually a good idea

#

but uhh

#

yeah sure

sick stone
#

That could be kind of funky. I like it. :]

subtle wolf

#

Ctrl R
(Spectral card)
Go back to ante 1

#

or sorry – are you like taking suggestions another way or for something else like blinds or just jokers?

subtle wolf
#

Nah I'm fine with whatever you suggest

#

Just not sure if I'll be adding it all

dire bone
#

i think you should replace all blinds with jokers and all jokres with blinds

subtle wolf
#

How

dire bone
inland goblet
#

all jokers have to be in alphabetical order or hand wont score

subtle wolf
#

Good boss idea

#

Are there any notable mods that add suits?

#

I’m just adding the beaver rank I mentioned earlier and I think it would be nice if I added support for custom suits so those beavers aren’t just blank

worldly tundra
#

there's Paperback and Bunco (probably more but those are the ones i can name off the top of my head)

keen coyote
#

dopamine joker: +4 mult
the texture is just a entire episode of family guy

#

or a playthrough of subway surfers

New deck

#

Weekend deck - start run with day off and vacation vouchers
-# Only available during the weekend

wheat slate
#

New blind idea:
Safe Mode
Hands must be the exact same as any hand type example (For example, if hand type is a Straight, the straight must be the exact same as the straight in the hand type examples)

subtle wolf
#

I’m gonna add exponents similar to chips and mult and I’ll shorten them to exp like mult is short for multiplier and then make jokes about leveling

pine spade
subtle wolf
#

Got the ui working

subtle wolf
#

Okay chat

#

I have no idea how to fit more blinds on screen

#

That is pretty much the last thing I need to fix

brittle steppe
#

scrollable menu? for more blinds

subtle wolf
#

Yeah, that could work

subtle wolf
#

I’d basically have to make scrolling from scratch which seems a bit difficult but I’ll try to figure it out

subtle wolf
#

idk how to do this

#

Is there any other way than scrolling?

pine spade
#

maybe multiple pages (like in the Jokers Collection)?

subtle wolf
#

Yeah I thought of that

#

I’ll try

frank ivy
#

are ideas and suggestions still welcome?

subtle wolf
#

Yeah

subtle wolf
# subtle wolf Yeah

At this point I most likely won’t add whatever people suggest unless multiple people really want it or I like the idea

subtle wolf
#

Okay I have an idea for a joker effect: all face cards are considered every face card rank in your deck

#

This allows for some cursed hands containing both a full house and five of a kind

#

Which will probably be a new hand

#

And straights can also fall into that category if you have pareidolia

#

I can’t wait for

Straight Flush Five House

#

Or

#

Straight Spectrum Five House

#

or even

Straight Spectrum Flush Five House

#

if you have them as wildcards

#

It’s a strange debate though

subtle wolf
#

Or maybe I won’t be doing that because I’m unsure how

subtle wolf
#

Bad Balatro Ideas - A mod with, you guessed it, bad Balatro ideas

subtle wolf
subtle wolf
#

I’m adding more horse race tests horses

#

Once I get home

#

Door knob will have an effect related to losing power the longer you stay in a blind to reference the 21 second sweep in hrtthrt

subtle wolf
#

Polishing up the more blinds per ante mod

subtle wolf
#

Releasing it tomorrow

#

This chat is so dead smh

subtle wolf
#

Okay I did it

hearty wind
#

We need a Pokemon TCG mod which adds the pokemon trading cards as jokers and a unique deck with only those jokers that has the pokemon tc card backs

subtle wolf
#

Please consider filling out this survey to help me determine which things are purple and which ones are not

ivory eagle
subtle wolf
#

Yep

dire bone
#

idea: stake above gold stake that has no actual gameplay changes but posts your lat/long in the #🎙・server-chat channel if you lose

subtle wolf
#

new idea

#

Joker effect - add a random edition to leftmost scoring card on final hand of round

#

consumable card ideas - crops and rocks

subtle wolf
#

And birds

#

And frogs

subtle wolf
#

Joker effect - create a random tag for every 2 jokers sold
Increases by 1 at end of round

subtle wolf
#

And yes of course it can be eternal

subtle wolf
#

New joker idea

#

Retrigger joker to the right X times and lose all retriggers
Gain 1 retrigger per hand played if this is the rightmost joker

subtle wolf
#

Dark Matter (Planet card) - level down all poker hands

#

Deck: Start run with a negative astronomer, all poker hands start from level -3

subtle wolf
#

Joker - 1.5X Mult compounding for level of played poker hand below 1

subtle wolf
#

New idea - 2X Mult for each $ below 0
