I unfortunately have no Lua or spriting experience, so I can’t really realize these ideas. Anyone’s free to use them though, credit me if you wish. I’ll update this whenever I have new ideas

Stake-Scaling Jokers
I don’t really have a better term for this, and I don’t know if it’s possible, but it’s an idea I’ve had for a couple of days. Let’s take the base Joker for example. +4 Mult, sounds easy enough. But with this concept, if you were to clear a stake with that Joker, it would get upgraded for future runs, so it’d have +6 mult instead for instance.

Is the idea that at higher stakes certain jokers would be buffed so to speak?

Basically, yeah. I'm sure someone came up with it first, but I think it'd be interesting

would this be compatible for modded stakes?

I'd like to imagine it would be, especially considering it'd fit Cryptid's ideology with its stake count

Roguelite jokers are a really neat idea, I think it may be possible, I can try a few tests.

You can do it using the number from joker stickers, so, no stake is 0, and gold stake is 8. Basically, it's definitely possible using get_joker_win_sticker(self, true) if anyone finds this and is curious, but, I don't know if I'll make a mod around the idea myself within the near future.

#

Also, you can use get_deck_win_sticker as well, meaning you could make jokers based around decks, that scale off of your highest stake on those decks, which I think could also be quite neat.

Example images, just using the formula of 4+(sticker X 3), so purple sticker is 6 X 3 for 18, +4 for 22. Very neat idea to mess wiith.
