It'd be so funny though

inner escarp
#

I think it's fun to have decks that are semi balanced for the every man, and then decks that are just fun to play.

strong plinth
#

I agree with that, unlike most other things in-game decks are a choice of what kind of run you want to start. Deck imbalanced can not really exist when the run of what deck to play is the players choose.

inner escarp
#

It's also just fun to try out decks.

#

And see what Jokers synergize well with them.

craggy tangle
#

I feel like in a larger modpack (couple of mods like SDM's stuff) the Familiar packs are way too low rarity wise

craggy tangle
#

Oh yeah we only have like what

#

With suggestions and existing tarots only a few more fortune cards

inner escarp
#

I think so yeah

#

Have we done the econ tarot's?

craggy tangle
#

I did Hermit not temperance yet

craggy tangle
#

Alright boys

#

with suggestions in hand we have officailly mapped out every single fortune card!!!

#

🥳

inner escarp
#

LES GO

#

All the tags are done too

crimson sandal
#

where is the download link for the mod?

strong plinth
#

it's not available, its only open to certain play testers as a means to minimize bugs and maintain balance upon release

crimson sandal
#

ok

inner escarp
#

The mods still being worked on. There is a suggestions sheet though if youd wanna contribute!

inner escarp
#

Im gonna try and get pretty much every joker variation done(or at least a few). Also added an idea for another blueprint variation which i think could be super neat

solemn torrent
#

So do the variations of consumables come in sets? Like there's Fortune cards and then for other variations of the Tarot cards they'd be something else?

inner escarp
#

I think fortune cards are all encompassing for Tarot variants. Unless its specific i suppose

#

Depends on how snow would wanna do another set.

solemn torrent
#

Fair enough.

strong plinth
solemn torrent
#

Is there any reason aside from potentially looking awful that multi-Edition cards are never a thing in mods?

queen python
#

For one, the backend for editions are set up to only take one, so without some hacky solution you’d be rewriting a good chunk of it.

#

Same for Enhancements and Seals, although iirc Betmma found some way for enhancements (I have not looked at it) for a voucher ability.

#

Or was it something else? Probably

solemn torrent
#

Alright, fair enough.

queen python
#

Second, mod implementation of editions sometimes involve directly checking for the edition, which would be mostly screwed by trying to make this.

mild crater
#

the image of chaos is 8 enhancements mixing up but I didn't make multi-Editionbalatrojoker

craggy tangle
#

And stickers

strong plinth
#

doing something

solemn torrent
#

Ayo crossmod compatibility.

#

Maybe we should have a couple sheets for suggesting crossmod stuff.

strong plinth
#

I'll code some cross-mod stuff but I'm not overly keen on doing art for cross mod stuff, I just felt like doing this

solemn torrent
#

Fair enough.

strong plinth
#

which of these would be considered a perfect ballot? (the one that says joker will be replaced with jester)

spring oxide
#

Right one

vernal willow
#

Will the perfect ballot be that all cards except the leftmost card is replayed?

strong plinth
#

all played cards are retriggered once

#

Perfect Ballot art

inner escarp
#

Cleaaan

solemn torrent
#

Full Pair sounds like it'd be Epic if this mod had that rarity. I'm guessing that's why its rarity was left blank.

#

That or Fusion, since it requires two specific Jokers to get.

inner escarp
#

Lol i forgot to put a rarity in

#

But yeah i think it would be epic if we could do that

timid summit
#

Feels more like a high Rare

#

like Blueprint tier

#

I think I would take most Cryptid epics over this

inner escarp
#

It's in a weird in between

kind token
#

is there a download link for this mod?

inner escarp
#

Not yet, its not released to the public and only a few playtesters have it for bugs and to make it overrall more polished

#

Plus, still being worked on

strong plinth
#

Amethyst Deck, Ruby Deck, Fleeting Deck, and Silver Deck art

inner escarp
#

Nice!

vernal willow
#

Are all the decks gonna have their opposites?

strong plinth
#

they aren't opposites, they are closer to variations. and yes

vernal willow
#

Damn

spice latch
#

don't get me wrong it would still probably play like that, but at least it wouldn't **feel **like that

inner escarp
#

Well it's all cards played no matter the card, so it wouldn't feel exactly like any of those.

inner escarp
#

I mean we could instead have it be retrigger all cards played 2 times, but that made sense for hanging chad. Not really for a perfect ballot

dusky sapphire
#

Customary recount

inner escarp
#

That's actually a valid idea

fast niche
#

so the idea im getting is that alternates are more powerful on average

inner escarp
#

Depends on what the variation is

#

For perfect ballot it makes sense why it's stronger

#

But for some it's extremely dependent on the route the variation is going in terms of naming

strong plinth
#

perfect ballot is also higher rarity than hanging chad

solemn torrent
#

Took a while to get around to making these edits, but what do you think? I'd have included some indicator for imaginary level on there but I wasn't sure how to go about that.

inner escarp
#

THOSE ARE AWESOME!

feral crown
#

I agree

solemn torrent
#

Thanx.

#

I can explain some lore about the alternate universe solar system I set up here if you're interested.

inner escarp
#

Sure if you wanna share

solemn torrent
#

Alright so uh... I have no idea what order to do this in LOL

feral crown
#

Alphanumeric

solemn torrent
#

Numeric how?

feral crown
#

I never said anything was numeric

inner escarp
#

*alphabetical order.

feral crown
#

I meant to say alphanumeric

solemn torrent
#

I'll go by distance from the Sun.
Hades, much like Pluto, was initially classified as a planet on discovery (said discovery being akin to if we'd actually found Vulcan) but later reclassified as astronomy marched on. Unlike Pluto, Hades doesn't have a rocky surface, because Hades is significantly less planetlike than Pluto. It's actually a neutron star roughly the size of Pluto, and the Sun's binary companion, hence the off-white halo around its outline matching itself instead of the typical shade.
Ares was discovered centuries before Hades was even theorized to exist. It used to have a couple captured asteroid moons for about a century, but its proximity to the binary stars of its system ensured this couldn't last.
Discordia's orbit is slowly decaying outwards, and calculated to cross Terra's orbit in about 2,300 years. Theories as to what will happen vary, but the most widely-accepted is that it'll settle into a horseshoe or tadpole orbit.
You may have noticed the purple continents on Terra. This is because vegetation on Terra is purple. Purple chlorophyll exists on Earth and theoretically would be just as viable as green, but green just so happened to win out here. On Terra, purple just so happened to win out.
Zeus is a bit close to its star for a gas giant, but not quite in Hot Jupiter territory. It's thought that it formed past the frost line before the event that brought Cronus into the system caused it to migrate. It also has constant auroras due to charged particles exciting its atmosphere.
Hecate, unlike Planet X, actually exists as a trojan companion to Zeus. Zeus, its moons, and Hecate are the only objects in Zeus' orbit that are large enough to be gravitationally rounded.

#

Demeter is the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt. Its high mass and near-perpendicular axial tilt have led to theories that it used to be a moon of Cronus.
Aphrodite is beautiful but very hostile. A runaway greenhouse effect has made it much hotter than its orbital distance would lead you to believe. That beautiful pink glow is the lithium-rich compounds of its atmosphere constantly burning.
Cronus stands out among the other planets in many ways. It spins "sideways", it has huge rings, bigger than those of any other planet in the solar system, and its orbit is retrograde. All signs point to it forming outside of the solar system and being captured, possibly in the aftermath of another solar system crossing Terra's.
Poseidon's atmosphere has much more actual water than Neptune's, albeit most of it is in ice form. It's constantly hailing sideways on Poseidon.
Caelus has only three major satellites, but each of them has at least one natural satellite of its own. The largest one even has two.
Hermes' moons are co-orbital, existing at opposite points to one another. This seems to be stable and not changing any time soon, despite appearing to be a collision or fling waiting to happen on first glance. That is, provided no disruption to the system's gravity is introduced.

inner escarp
#

Neato!

#

World building at its finest

inner escarp
#

Im gonna try and make a list of the jokers that have not been done yet then probably add them to suggestions myself.

inner escarp
north cargo
#

everything turned into red deck for me

#

like all the decks are now red

#

whar

spice latch
#

I think that’s a weird issue with either lovely or steamodded

#

If you go to the position of the deck you want, exit to menu, and then hit new game again it should at least let you play the other decks

north cargo
#

yea thats what i did

#

also

#

what is the snowmods

#

in the latest playtester thing

#

it crashes when its there

#

but if its not it works

strong plinth
#

i might have added that by accident

north cargo
#

ah ok lol

inner escarp
#

Out of ideas for jokers.

sharp violet
#

what if for joker stencil it was like a guide for drawing the joker?

inner escarp
#

That, is what a stencil is

sharp violet
#

no but like a guide

#

not a physical object

inner escarp
#

Ah

sharp violet
#

yea like people make for drawing hands, faces, etc...

inner escarp
#

Could be a neat idea, multiple variations are welcome of course

sharp violet
#

mr. bones could be changed into like a muscle kind of thing

#

just throwing ideas i have

inner escarp
#

It's mostly the jester effects im out of ideas for

strong plinth
inner escarp
#

Yo those are FIRE!

#

I love the black and blue color scheme for div

tame lion
#

looks amazing

inner escarp
#

Only 12 jokers are left that need alternate versions

strong plinth
#

how does this look for Split?

#

or one of these?

vernal willow
#

I think I like the first one better

dusky sapphire
dusky sapphire
# strong plinth

But these could still be good for something. I prefer the green or purple personally

strong plinth
#

pushed a update for playtesters, just a few decks, enhancements and a joker

inner escarp
#

Alright. Will play test tomorrow probably

vernal willow
#

I wish console had mods

strong plinth
#

Pantheon pack art

vernal willow
#

That looks so COOL!!!

strong plinth
#

I got the pantheons in-game

dusky sapphire
#

also gotta say they look great

inner escarp
#

Basically they do an imaginary level

#

Which I'm pretty sure multiplies the values instead of just adding more to them

#

Imaginary level as in Imaginary number i

strong plinth
dusky sapphire
#

ah interesting

#

complex numbers for hand levels is quite a sight to behold, lol

#

I like it

inner escarp
#

It's neat indeed

fast niche
tawdry bough
#

I'll do some play testing later

strong plinth
tawdry bough
#

the conman thing seems to still be there as of latest commit

vernal willow
#

... That's a decent amount of blueprint

tawdry bough
#

i spawned them in with debug menu to test some stuff

vernal willow
#

Oh... I thought that was natural😔

tawdry bough
#

definetly

strong plinth
#

i cannot recreate it

tawdry bough
#

hmm weird

#

it might have been some spaghetti from targeting it with 4 blueprints

strong plinth
#

oh, its blueprint compatible

tawdry bough
#

it also put me at negative money so multible things are wrong with that screenshot

strong plinth
#

the blueprints ignore the limit

tawdry bough
#

yes

#

seems that way

strong plinth
#

i'll just make it incompatible

tawdry bough
#

also maroon seal breaks past first retrigger it seems like

#

or 2nd

#

i'll make a report with a video displaying it

strong plinth
#

it seems to be working, but it's not retriggering its enhancement

tawdry bough
#

yeah weird you're right it's giving me the chips but not the mult

strong plinth
#

also there is problems with split btw

tawdry bough
#

haven't tested them out quite yet

strong plinth
#

it just doesn't work exactly as it should, i plan on fixing it later on

tawdry bough
#

ah okay tell me when you've fixed them so i can mess around with them to see if there are other bugs

That's awesome

That's amazing

Whats it's evolution?

Sleight of Hand

craggy tangle
#

do i make familiar M jokers /hj

timid summit
#

Jolly joker is enough tbh

#

And I alr put an idea in

craggy tangle
#

anyways proposed deck changes to be "inverted" colors (black instead of white)

#

Fleeting Deck as well 😄

inner escarp
#

I like that actually

GREEK MYTHOLOGY THEMED JESTERS

Midas Mask - Bust of Medusa
-# All played face cards become Stone cards when scored.

Stone Joker - Sysphian Jester
-# x.10 mult for each stone card played. Resets if no stone cards are played.

Sixth Sense - Fourth Disciple
-# If first hand of round is a single 4, destroy it and create a Pantheon card of your most played hand.

Mr. Bones - Mr. Kharon
-# Prevents Death if chips scored are at least 25% of required chips. Pay 10 dollars. (scales by 3 dollars each use.)

Astronomer - Mythographer
-# All Sacred cards and Pantheon Packs are free in the shop.

inner escarp
#

Ooo

#

I like it

craggy tangle
#

also I think I might be making the Jester design? We may have to update a lot of jokers with it lol

#

based off of the idea of mardi gras jokers obviously

#

@strong plinth any feedback? Trying to make him seperate from Jimbo enough to be distinct

#

ofc in card form too

#

fixed nose and mouth

#

in fact, there's this

  • Jester blank png

  • Asprite file for Aseprite users / libresprite users

  • psd files for GIMP/Photoshop users

#

Sleight of Hand art

craggy tangle
#

What if we change the name of Familiar Vouchers? Maybe just Coupons?

strong plinth
#

taken by ortalab

craggy tangle
#

zamn

#

Maybe just Tickets?

strong plinth
#

How about Bond, Permit, Grant or Charter?

craggy tangle
#

I like Ticket better, ticket is closer to the original idea of Vouchers

#

like a ticket gives you access to it, and is different enough from stuff like Cines from Reverie

feral crown
#

Grant also works

craggy tangle
#

Grant does work, I just think Vouchers already look eerily similar to carnival tickets too

strong plinth
#

Here is how both would look

craggy tangle
#

I think ticket also just looks better overall in that

#

it's similar in word size to coupon

inner escarp
#

I agree.

feral crown
#

i think the word grant better descibes, but ticket looks better

craggy tangle
#

alright - anything else need to be made/done that's simple?

craggy tangle
#

I can probably quickly make him using the new Jester template 😄

primal jackal
#

(What would Familiar m even be?)

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

also here's how i'd imagine him looking right and left (for any updates to the copy jokers)

inner escarp
#

Thats very fun

craggy tangle
#

I love my lil Joey (he's silly)

dusky sapphire
craggy tangle
#

Only other jokers I think need to be updated -

Crimsonotype
Thinktank
Smudged
Red Jester

#

and I think that's it?

craggy tangle
#

Jimbothy's the funnier one

dusky sapphire

Xchips when selling Joyful Jesters

craggy tangle
#

nah it would be L

strong plinth

#

(cause upside down is Waluigi L)

#

I still think Soothsayer is a better name but that's just me

#

for Taromancer

primal jackal

#

Melnibi (i flipped the letters of Waluigi upside down)

#

Luigi (Familiar Waluigi).
Gain 2x Chips for each Jester you have.

craggy tangle
#

Idk if we're doing Cryptid stuff or not

#

I think lowkey

#

I would rather focus on getting like

#

the vanilla stuff done 😭

#

We still have a lot to go

strong plinth
inner escarp
#

That would take so long. And we haven't even gotten all the vanilla jokers

primal jackal
#

It's just some simple concepts from mind, lol.

craggy tangle
#

131 approved features in the mod but not fully implemented

#

Fully implemented is probably what about like, 30?

inner escarp
#

Something like that

craggy tangle
#

I lowballed that hard

inner escarp
#

Well we are close to the 100 mark. Which is good

craggy tangle
#

Oh fuck Debit card too

#

😭

#

jimbo's just chillin the back there

strong plinth
#

i forgot i did that

inner escarp
#

#

It's the only one we do from cryptid

fixed debit card to have our boy on it

inner escarp
#

Nice!

craggy tangle
#

identity theft is not a joke jimbo

#

millions suffer from it every year

strong plinth
#

i still have the files for Crimsonotype, Astrophysicist and Taromancer so i can change those ones easy

craggy tangle
#

fair, did this mockup one before I saw this sadge

inner escarp
#

Thats hella clean though

craggy tangle
#

@strong plinth if you wanna make Thinktank look better as well here's the blank sans Joey

#

Apparition as well has been made pog

APPARITION

Rare Jester
-# Create a Spectral card when Blind is selected (Must have room)

#

hopefully I didn't mess up the sheet on accident (I sorted twice to adjust suggestions)

inner escarp
#

3 jokers are left that need suggestions.

#

Mechanic wise ive got nothing for em, name wise though i got a few

craggy tangle
#

which are left??

inner escarp
#

Swashbuckler, Flowerpot, and Matador

#

Matador is particularly hard in my opinion.

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

maybe "x4 mult if each card is multi suited"

#

Better wording would be uhh

inner escarp
#

That could definitely work

craggy tangle
#

x4 mult if each card in poker hand contains 2 suits or more.

#

could work for wilds, or multi suited

strong plinth
#

i think wilds are broken btw

inner escarp
#

Matador and Swashbuckler left.

craggy tangle
#

maybe multi suit code?

#

anyways we did it chat

inner escarp
#

Vanilla jokers now have variants for all of them. good shit people.

#

I think the things that have full variant lists are:

Tags
Jokers
Tarots
Planets
Spectrals
Stickers(I think?)

craggy tangle
#

I mean let's cook now with art and hopefully Snow can get the rest pog

#

We may need some changes for some other stuff that's not necessarily approved

inner escarp
#

This mod is cookin so hard though.

#

What is on the stove is already a 5 star gourmet meal. Just gotta finish the other courses

craggy tangle
#

oh yeah lemme grab the crash again but I know that Silver Deck crashes the game rn

#

idk if this is a Galdur issue or this mod issue

strong plinth
#

i think its a incompact with it

#

deck seems to work fine on its own

craggy tangle
#

Should I report it to Galdur then?

strong plinth
#

maybe, it there also could be a better way to set up the deck (considering the other decks are working, correct?)

solemn torrent
#

What did the s column originally say again? I can't Ctrl+Z far enough to undo that.

strong plinth
#

base game

solemn torrent
#

Alright. Fixed it.

fast niche
#

since hades is the first 'planet'

inner escarp
#

Its about the naming of the planets. Pluto is the name for basically Hades in the Roman Pantheon

#

Which is why Hades is for high card in the mod.

fast niche
#

but is it hardocded that way or

strong plinth
#

there still are, just not in the order of positioning (i also prefer to keep base game positioning on the familiar cards)

fast niche
#

huh ok

craggy tangle
#

good morning gamers

craggy tangle
#

😭

#

same error too

strong plinth
#

then yea probably

craggy tangle
#

idk, I'm talking with mod dev cause it's just happening on other modded decks too

#

SDM_0's Bazaar deck

craggy tangle
#

@strong plinth looking at my suggestion again - What would you do to make Joey J. more unique? (Base Jester)

strong plinth
#

maybe x1.2 chips

craggy tangle
#

resolved and edited on the suggestion sheet

fast niche
#

we should make ancient a reference to a different streamer (since ancient is an olbap reference)

craggy tangle
#

Jerma

thorn shard
agile marsh
#

NLs already got Egg lol

thorn shard
#

Ah

craggy tangle
#

NL also is Olbap

#

anyways uh

#

Main thing I got from my playtest last night is I think the secret hands Pantheon cards should be locked until you actually unlock the secret hand

#

in game

#

if that makes sense

#

like you cannot find it in the pool until you actually play the secret hand, I noticed it a lot in playtesting that Pantheon packs are bloated with flush fives and flush house cards

#

familiar is also CCD compatible by default, dear christ

#

only jank thing is Demise but that's expected seeing that you have to select the card to conver it

#

if that makes any sense at all

meager pumice
#

Where is that ccd deck from?

Jester Investor

-# Familiar Baseball Card, Rare Jester

For each Uncommon or higher joker, give $ based on rarity. (3$ for Uncommon, $4 for rare, $5 for Legendary.)

#

idea is based on a PSA card display

spice latch
#

Isn’t this just a strictly Better baseball card?

inner escarp
#

Yep

craggy tangle
#

Maybe better as legendary

#

🤔

fast niche
inner escarp
#

Legendary would make sense

#

Or do epics

craggy tangle
#

My original idea was to make it like the Tax Collector from Mika's Mod where you get $ for each rarity of jonkler you have

#

so I think I could swap it back to that, make it rare, and call it day

potent heart
#

Because its like a collection thing, maybe you could do it based on editions?

inner escarp
#

That would make sense, since its collecting shinies basically

potent heart
#

Yeee that was my thought process

#

Dunno if it strays too far from baseball tho

craggy tangle
#

🤔

#

idk, i'm 50/50 on it

#

I feel like rarities of cards would be more impactful then editions, maybe it could be seperated

#

like one for money and one for editions

inner escarp
#

Ooo yeah

#

Like a normal card display and then a shiny/rare card display for editions

craggy tangle
#

Mhm

#

if somebody wants to make the legendary equivalent using my art - go ahead

#

😄

inner escarp
#

I would if I was good and could format images right

craggy tangle
#

I mean

#

it's just PNG

#

you can do it pretty easily

craggy tangle
#

Been a couple days since last playtest release, any updates or fixes?

strong plinth
#

yea, been a bit busy but i did get some stuff in

spice latch
#

Potential investor jester effect: 1x mult, at the end of shop, gain 0.2x mult for each uncommon joker

craggy tangle
#

I might do some more jesters when I get home

#

I do have an idea for like a multi suited Jester and a multi suited stone

#

Where like it can combine 2 ways for black and red suits, and then just one omni suit jester

#

Makes for good synergies to go for specific combos other then the existing Jokers to save on Joker space

potent heart
#

Ok but instead of having an omni suit joker, what if you made the multi suits go clubs/diamonds spades/hearts and then it synergies with smeared joker

craggy tangle
#

I'll concept them out tonight probably

craggy tangle
#

@strong plinth is there any other Jester art you need me to do?

#

Specifically for replacement art with Joey

strong plinth
#

Maybe red joker, and smeared but smeared should be easy for me to get done quickly

craggy tangle
#

Red Jester, got it

craggy tangle
#

is the line it crashes on

strong plinth
#

no, it's the if statement, I forgot something in it I add it. I'll add two jokers real quick and upload a fix just avoid using cycle of fate for now

craggy tangle
#

😭

#

ok

#

Gonna mentioned the fixed Jester art too if you wanna quickly replace (for the ones that don't have it implemented yet.)

Does it animate like static?

it not animated but it moves a bit when you're hovering over it

it makes it like the Gold Seal which IMO is incredibly balanced and not totally busted

no reason not to pick it up it's econ is insane

for context with Aureate I had like the easiest Silver deck win ever

because that econ allows you to reroll and get better Jonklers and Jesters

I just realized this mod now has more implemented stuff then ortalab but ortalab is released. So i'll make a public version once I've implemented and polished 100 things (there's 88 so far so 12 more)

btw playtesting will still continue after this and will receive greater update frequency than public

baller westcraftifhewasballin

#

If you want my personal picks from the list of stuff I would say getting the multi suited jesters I suggested above, The Fool?, the base suit jesters as those should be easy to implement (I think) and the four remaining tarots in the main sheet

tawdry bough
#

dumb question what are you guy's thoughts on a plasma deck variant that converts mult into chips at a set rate

#

like at the end of scoring all mult gets converted into say 100 chips

tawdry bough
#

thought of calling it the degenerate deck as a refrence to degenerate matter.

#

maybe the conversion needs to happen during active scoring to make it work with xchips cards but it would make it completely incompatible with xmult thonk

#

also proabably a pain in the ass for performance

Small bit of feedback. A red marker /drawing would probably go pretty well instead of black to signify the diamond and hearts as the red cards

Alright so I recently came up with concepts for an opposite version of balatro before this and some of those opposites were only variations of things so I guess I can share those ideas here but I'm not really caught up to speed on all the changes

On these posts

I had some ideas to add alternate versions of rare cards like the family and the tribe in the form of cards in their format that give mult to specific hands that aren't directly listed in the series. I'm not very good at pixel art but I want to try to at least make the art for these cards since i have some cool ideas for them and any additional touches can be added later by others who are better at this than me if necessary and it doesn't seem too hard to replicate these card's style.

Rare
x1.5 mult if played hand is high card
the party
Rare
x4.5 mult if played hand is a full house
the council

x5 mult if played hand is a straight flush
the oddities
Rare, only appears after a 5 of a kind has been made
x5 mult if played hand is a 5 of a kind
the conglomerate
Rare, only appears after a flush house has been made
x5.5 mult if played hand is a flush house
The cult

Also I may decide to draw the card ideas on paper if they're too hard for me

Also I'm only making ideas and low quality art for this add-on. It's the job of others who are interested to touch up art, provide ideas, and convince me to start coding this mod because I'm only a beginner coder and I can't get steammodded to work

I guess while I'm making that add on I can think up a legendary variant for each of the 5 legendaries

(Sorry for spitballing so many ideas to you guys, my brain just goes too fast for even myself to keep up)

craggy tangle
#

It is Joey. J. Jester

empty silo
#

Joey, what would you say your personality is like? I'm going to write dialogue for you

craggy tangle
#

He has committed several counts of take fraud and the J.R.S (Jester Revenue service) is trying to investigate his revenue sources

#

He clearly thinks he's better then everyone else and only concedes defeat when you beat ante 8

#

Uhhh

#

Anything else @empty silo

empty silo
#

Nope

#

I'm writing a tutorial on a major mechanic my add on revolves around as well as the new additions to the mod
My idea for the first few lines
"Hi player, jimbo told me about you"
"Let me guess, you skipped the tutorial and then came crawling back to me when you couldn't figure out what was happening"
"Don't worry, for I, Joey J. Jester, will teach you what you need to know"

craggy tangle
#

That is amazing

#

I would say Joey does not like jimbo so like he would go like "Oh, you must be one of Jimbo's friends...."

empty silo
#

Yeah probably

empty silo
#

I don't mean to bother you guys but I have a large question
I've decided I don't really want to dedicate an entire add on to this mod so I've decided to propose a more simplified version of the core mechanic of the add on. The idea is to give alternative variants to the base playing cards themselves using consumables and vouchers and decks but I feel like it will complicate things a little bit with the idea of the mod. I'll try to make it fit with the base game jokers as much as I can but changing the playing cards themselves (not enhancing them or anything just changing how they interact with other playing cards) is a pretty big change. I can still present the idea and if RattlingSnow shows interest in it I'll start making all the art myself (may need additions and touch ups from others).

craggy tangle
#

no point not to try sugggesting it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

empty silo
#

Alr then

#

I'll put it in a google doc tho

#

It also adds a few new hands because of the way familiar playing cards react with base playing cards :)

Hypothetical Tier III Vouchers

-# in no way will this be canon unless approved by Snow. Base cost is $20.

Fresh Supply (Tier III "Checking the Back") - Gives an extra card in each booster pack.

Broken Fortune (Tier III "Fortune's Eyes") - The Broken will create a Negative Fortune card.

Carbon Copy (Tier III Counterfeit) - Held consumables are 8x more likely to appear in the shop and booster packs.

Printing Press (Tier III "Empty Film Reel") - Polaroid playing cards can appear in the shop.

empty silo
#

Alright, I'm beginning work on the concepts

craggy tangle
strong plinth
#

I would say feasible but not guaranteed

craggy tangle
empty silo
#

Something to note with my addition: the definition of a flush is now changed to "cards of the same color" and high contrast cards must be enabled (or at least highly recommended)

#

This allows for more poker hands to be played. Among these hands is suit straight and suit house
There needs to be a jester that does something when a suit straight is played (possibly a séance variant) called straight jacket
There also needs to be a joker based on the suit hands called soup store, I don't make the rules

Cooking up the recommendation has been... slow
I've realized it probably adds too much to be implemented in any form right now, but maybe it can be an additional update project when the mod is fully released, hence me originally thinking of it as an add-on

#

Idk, I'm thinking of adding too much new stuff to the mod that adds alternate versions of the old stuff

empty silo
#

Good luck guys, I believe in you (idk I'm trying to offer some sort of support)

#

I think my recommendation idea is a little too big so I'll work on it only when I feel like it
For now, I'll get to thinking of new jesters and making art for them after I make the concepts

Here's my ideas for all the legendary jokers' jester counterparts https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Apd3eagCs0dV2fVwBSIL4Pkiie83doIW/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=115748202633744968098&rtpof=true&sd=true
I kinda regret the magicians inspiration but oh well

inner escarp
#

Huh so that means there would be 3 sets of legendaries

#

Legendary Jesters, Legendary Comedians, and Legendary Magicians

empty silo
#

Not really, it depends on what RattlingSnow thinks

#

I mean, magicians are sorta close to jesters... but not really. I should think of other cards to make familiars of instead of the legendaries, since they're probably the first thing someone thinks of when thinking about a jester to make

inner escarp
#

I mean. Nothing's wrong with more jokers.

#

Make all the ideas you want.

empty silo
#

Alr thanks

#

If I do end up making art of these 5 I'm definitely gonna need some cleanup from better pixel artists than me

craggy tangle
#

The 5 legendary comedians are peak

inner escarp
#

True

#

And I'm contempt with the 5 jesters like Archibald

empty silo
#

Probably, I don't exactly think my Magician idea worked out past anything other than Houdini escaping boss blinds

empty silo
#

Here's another idea of mine
Black Cat
Lucky cat familiar
Uncommon
When a lucky card triggers, destroy it and gain x0.75 mult (currently x1)
Based on the superstition of black cats bringing bad luck
Is this a decent idea?

strong plinth

you can put them on the suggestion sheet btw there is one pinned

#

I don't think I want to suggest the magicians tho, don't like them too much

#

I think if you flesh them out they'd be worthy additions!

#

Houdini is definitely a fun concept. There's potential for sure in the magicians.

empty silo
#

Finding inspiration for them is hard

#

Also I don't want them to be too different from their counterparts since they won't feel like familiars anymore

craggy tangle
#

I mean some are completely different

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

DM'd you

strong plinth
#

ok you, should have access now

inner escarp
# empty silo Finding inspiration for them is hard

What I did for the legendary Jesters is just look at their wikis for really small details. Like how Archibalds 50$ number came from his 50£ pension for his Scottish Kinsman John of the Syde. Just do some niche stuff.

#

And familiar is a broad category so you can just wing it really

empty silo
#

Yeah probably
I need to find better magic guys tho -_-

inner escarp
#

Yeah there's some more prominent mythological figures. Like Calypso could be nice

#

Again, just wing it, I just jotted stuff down that sounded neat

empty silo
#

I also want to develop my familiar playing cards concept more
It's hard to suggest now as it adds too much new with not enough inspiration from old stuff
That and also it adds a bunch of new hands, meaning new planet cards, meaning new planet card counterpart even though imaginary levels already exist

craggy tangle
#

Tbh I may try to develop suits

empty silo
#

Well that's exactly what I'm planning on suggesting
Alternative suits

#

Maybe I should try to make art for some of the jesters instead

where you only can get dual suited cards from like standard packs

yeah that would be like my only major complaint with duality deck

One of the hobbies I've become engrossed in during the last few years is game design, specifically board game design. As part of a recent project, I needed to assign a unique effect to each of the four playing card suits. Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs. Ones that were mechanically balanced, but that also maintained the spirit of their hist...

if that's gonna be in Sigil then idk if I want it added here kekw thought it would be a nice addition to a standalone mod myself

there is always more stuff to add

Maybe I'll keep working on it and present it when the time is right
Idk, it's just that my idea did basically the same thing (add new suits) so I don't exactly think adding even more suits would be very good

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It could be good if designed properly. More content isn't a bad thing

@strong plinth hey I'm trying a test to code in the new suits rq, can you help me out by making high contrast versions of the suits I made?

What am I even looking at?

craggy tangle
#

essentially a modern deck that can be used for like tarot reading and other stuff

has 120 cards

#

0 through ace, including X as a rank

solemn torrent
#

What's with all the extra stuff tho? Why does each card have like three different numbers plus a word?

craggy tangle
#

This is an easier way to look at it

#

it explains like everything but it's a read

empty silo
#

I've run into a problem
I made some new hands for my thing, and they're all associated with a new pack called the solar pack, which explores other things in our solar system than just planets. Problem is, they need their own version of the pantheon pack for imaginary levels

#

Most of them are moons, and some are just phenomenon like Saturn's hexagon

#

So I'm at a bit of a roadblock

#

Maybe star cards could work?

#

But then I need to think about what stars fit the alternate suits

craggy tangle
#

Also decided to test implement Webs and I got it to the point where I'm personally satisfied with the way it looks.

#

Just gotta do the other 3

#

arms are now in as well

craggy tangle
#

Stuff remaining I gotta do in my stuff before I hopefully get push perms:

  • Figure out how to make the new cards not be in every deck by default

  • Finish up UI

  • (Maybe) make High Contrast versions of each new suit?

empty silo

craggy tangle

only critique i have is we have a smudged jestler

#

already

empty silo
#

Yeah

#

Besides that is it good?

craggy tangle

I don't want to start making art in fear that it's all gonna be unused

Ceres? Is that a different mod?

#

Oh, i see

i think i'll release the mod before implementing some of these things (suits and other thing mentioned) because it seems like the release will get stretched out otherwise. You guys can continue working on anything you are this is mainly here to inform the release is soon anyway

definitely this week at very most

#

Are you gonna implement the thing I sent in DMs?

since it's pretty much done

#

craggy tangle
#

ty sir

strong plinth
#

cleaned up all the suits and put them in one file (few extra or missing pixels mainly webs and arms)

craggy tangle
#

I just kept em in seperate ones for testing purposes mostly

#

In the meantime I might suggest and/or make a few jonklers as well

#

anyways I feel like the "modern" tarot consumables for Arms, Digits, Bottles and Webs should be inspired by PO3's cards from Inscryption (I feel like that's fun)

#

makes it cool AF

strong plinth
#

like new consumable type or just normal tarots, either way I'm fine with it but we could apply a cool shader with it if new consumable type

craggy tangle
#

I feel like a new consumable type overall

#

Includes a mix of like tarots, spectrals, maybe some other stuff

#

idk I'm open to ideas

k, I'll try to make a shader for it when I finish Pantheon packs, and spare deck. as well as some bugs

I will say that all Jokers have at least one jester at this point but more is always welcome

First two boxes are original name in base game, and the second box is the name of your idea so for example

[Hanging chad] [Perfect Ballot]

#

The drop-down menu is for what type of object it is, in this case it is a joker. Next box is the price in the shop, after that is the actual effect like x1.5 chips blah blah, and then the last drop-down menu is for rarity.

I think I can make it work but would this turn into the legendary. how is the legendary aspect implemented?

craggy tangle
#

You mean like the effect?

#

or the actual like

#

youknowhatimean i think

strong plinth
#

no, like how would this go from jimbo in shop to legendary fake jimbo?

craggy tangle
#

I think coding wise you could have it technically be "two" seperate cards but one transforms into the other, but the idea at least concepting wise could be keeping it through a boss blind potentially? You wanna keep it for a few turns would be my idea.

So it starts out as a normal 2 dollar Joker but with the differing Jester text like this: #1267615217613803580 message

And after a boss blind it would essentially transform into Fake Jimbo

strong plinth
#

so, two separate jokers one that transform from "jimbo" and the other a legendary?

craggy tangle
#

That's the rough concept yeah

#

idk if there's a way to blacklist from soul pool or not

strong plinth
#

i think i saw someone do it

craggy tangle
#

NODDERS Maybe it gets unlocked in the soul pool after you transform it for the first time

strong plinth
#

maybe a yes_pool_flag would work

craggy tangle
#

but I want it to be unique to start out to this specific card

#

Anyways dumb question - What else needs to be done before this mod launches? I wanted to let an IRL friend know so they can get it when it's available

strong plinth
#

I think I will leave maroon seal as is, add mine compact real quick. and the longest part is making the speckled text display on the info_quene

#

so mainly speckled fix

craggy tangle
#

That defo sounds like a tonight or tomorrow release (i don't know how much coding is left for that)

strong plinth
#

i think mime compact isn't going to take long, but idk how long the speckled fix will take

craggy tangle
#

what's up with the speckled bug anyways?

#

or the speckled fix

#

Is it just loc_txt not displaying?

strong plinth
#

its the part that shows on the sides of cards, because of the dynamic text it shows nothing on there. it works in collection view tho

#

there's also duality deck qol making dual cards appear in packs but i decided to put that off till after release

craggy tangle
#

yeah that's a very minor fix

#

I would say take a look at how Misprint does it? I know misprint does random values

strong plinth
#

yea, thats the problem tho misprint works with the text on the joker, i am trying to fix the thing that show up on the side

#

i tried misprint it worked for collection view display

craggy tangle
#

actually rq two bugs i've noticed 🤔

#

it does not work in collection for me but I'm using other mods too

#

and all of the seals also have this same UI error

#

that may be correlated?

#

idk

strong plinth
#

yea ik i haven't posted the version with that

#

and crypitd has a fix for seals

#

i can try and find their fix

craggy tangle
#

NODDERS okey dokey

strong plinth
#

also, something cool i did

#

only familiar editions have joey instead of jimbo

craggy tangle
#

What i would really reccomend is to implement some form of commiting for a "nightly" build kinda deal to make it easier for playtesters to playtest. But that just might be me trying to figure out a better way to play and give proper bug feedback

#

Only other QOL thing that I can think of is probably better for a later release but making the editioned decks like Cryptid's where cards can't change editions and all consumables spawn with editions as well:

Hey folks! In today’s video we’ve more of the intentionally unbalanced Cryptid mod for Balatro. This time, we’re checking out the Astral Deck which gives every card the mod-specific edition of Astral which raises your mult to the power of 1.1. Obviously, this gives the potential for some ridiculous scoring and this run did not disappoint. Enjoy ...

▶ Play video
#

best example of this is from Roffle

strong plinth
#

they kind of work like that, it can be seen as a bug but consumables and cards in deck will turn to that edition after a round or two

craggy tangle
#

NODDERS seems legit

craggy tangle
strong plinth
#

i can refine it later on

craggy tangle
#

for sure

#

I just suggest that for the future to make it helpful for you and us playtesters

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

ye that's why I mentioned like the seperate branch

#

because then playtesters can get a earlier version so that way bugfixes can happen easier

#

and then everything gets pushed to main when it's ready

vernal willow
#

I don't understand how and why fake Jimbo is legendary, he's not that good

craggy tangle
#

I mean like I said

#

ability is up for suggestion

#

what would you reccomend to try and make him better?

#

@vernal willow

#

I mostly made it off of the concept rather then the actual joker ability idea so I'm open for it

vernal willow
#

Idk what really you mean when you meant this idea but, I was thinking, Every time you buy a joker not a jester, fake Jimbo would permanently gain 4 mult, it would be like fortune teller so if you bought something before it would still count

craggy tangle
#

Oh I meant like the unlock condition + the design

#

I feel like an impersonator Jimbo trying to be the "best" version of him was fun + fake peppino reference, I had to

vernal willow
#

Yeah, that was a great reference

craggy tangle
#

That's half the point I make some of my newer stuff - references to other media is REALLY fun 😊

strong plinth
#

i will probably use the sprites for ink as the sprites for any other suits that do not have compatibility

#

so it doesn't look like this

solemn torrent
#

LMAO

craggy tangle
#

loll

#

in my pack

#

might be a steamodded thing? It just breaks seals outright

#

defo one thing that needs to be fixed b4 release

strong plinth
#

anyway mime compact working

craggy tangle
#

nice

#

idk if it mods or not

#

I'm using latest smodded

queen python
#

The class prefix for seals were deleted recently (since it stopped you from takeing ownership of seals).

craggy tangle
#

THat's good to know

#

@strong plinth one more thing to add to the list 😭

strong plinth
#

so just remove s_ from seals

craggy tangle
#

also btw is edition.lua and lovely/edition.lua intentional?

strong plinth
#

is there two?

craggy tangle
#

in the git yeah

strong plinth
#

doesn't matter i'll delete both cause i rename it

craggy tangle
#

cool

craggy tangle
strong plinth
#

oh btw what should the mod icon be?

timid summit
#

The Familiar spectral but redrawn to fit in the size

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

pog pog pog

strong plinth
#

duality deck pack thing is implmented (it does not show the cards as dual in the pack itself but they will show once in deck)

craggy tangle
#

made an alternate take for the mod icon

#

more basic but encapsulates jester

#

fixed white to black 🙂

craggy tangle
#

gaming

#

is there any way you can make it the same duality that you have in the deck already?

#

makes for synergies and it's similar to the cryptid decks where every suit is just a singular one

strong plinth
#

maybe, but i think it works better as random

craggy tangle
#

fair

solemn torrent
#

Would dual-suits have their own references for the face alts or would it mix and match using the versions of the suits you have?

strong plinth
#

i would like it too, but probably not in the initial release

solemn torrent
#

Fair.

craggy tangle
#

Should we have a milestone for releases?

#

first release is at 100, maybe every 25 things implemented?

strong plinth
#

approximants, technically first release is 99, was going to be 101 but I removed split and its tarot for reasons

#

lets just say its 100

craggy tangle
#

So yeah first release is 100

#

bugfixes can be minor

#

major releases (1.1, 1.2 etc.) is 25 new features implemented?

strong plinth
#

major would probably make version go from 0.1.7 to 0.2.0. bug fixes would be 0.1.6 to 0.1.7

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

that's fair NODDERS

#

I say 25 for an even quarter

#

200 being v2 or whatever

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

maybe something special once we hit 150, get at least one set of legendaries

north cargo
craggy tangle
#

not yet

#

again

#

I would probably be like the first to know NODDERS

#

yknow it would be funny if mod support was a big thing in the future (cryptid having proper enhancement decks, maybe Ceres support, etc.)

fast niche
manic pelican
#

That effect should be exponential

craggy tangle
#

Basically a really good version of fortune teller

tame lion
#

Iceberg Card (Enhancement, Stone Card Familiar): Gives its chip value to all other cards, card cannot score

craggy tangle
#

@strong plinth dunno if it's this mod or Cryptid but whenever I try to play a hand with mult jokers / some ability jokers it just disables them

strong plinth
#

I think I'll just use this for now, try the misprint thing at a later date. does cryptid fix the seal thing btw?

strong plinth
craggy tangle
#

Yeah uh idk what's going on with the seals rn

#
    object_type = "Seal",
    name = "cry-Azure-Seal",
    key = "azure",
    badge_colour = HEX("1d4fd7"),
    config = { planets_amount = 3 },
    loc_txt = {
        -- Badge name
        label = 'Azure Seal',
        -- Tooltip description
        name = 'Azure Seal',
        text = {
            'Create {C:attention}#1#{} {C:dark_edition}Negative{}',
            '{C:planet}Planets{} for played',
            '{C:attention}poker hand{}, then',
            '{C:red}destroy{} this card'
        },
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue)
        return { vars = {self.config.planets_amount} }
    end,
    atlas = "azure_atlas",
    pos = {x=0, y=0},

Looking at a Cryptid seal it doesn't seem anything is different

#

no clue what caused this

north cargo
#

?

craggy tangle
#

assets/sounds/MultiplicativeChips.wav

#

The sound file is not being loaded because the name changed

north cargo
#

so all it needs is a changed name?

strong plinth
#

i think i remove it and just used the xmult one in the most recent build

craggy tangle
#

true

north cargo
#

this is the most recent build

craggy tangle
#

that doesn't make any sense

#

at all

#

😛

#

I would reccomend installing Talisman just in case?

strong plinth
#

i mean i have just familiar and debug enabled, and it works fine

craggy tangle
#

are you sure you git pulled properly?

strong plinth
#

i think the sound file is still there in git maybe thats the problem

north cargo
#

i opened the assets folder

#

and yea the MultiplicativeChips.wav is there

strong plinth
#

i removed it

craggy tangle
#

Deleting it causes a new bug 💀

#

cause it's still looking for it

strong plinth
#

i'll fix it when i get back i've gtg

north cargo
#

fair enough

craggy tangle
#

oki

#

@north cargo what I reccomend doing is deleting the repo, cloning it again and running git reset --hard 97c5b0b

#

this should make it back to the commit where it has the sound and has the updated scripts

#

@strong plinth for when you're back, I think I figured out the seal bug

#

you nested everything in a "description" in loc_txt

#

removing it fixes it

#

instead of description = { name = 'Familiar Seal', text = { 'Creates a {C:attention}Familiar tarot{} when', 'only this card is {C:attention}discarded', } },
