Slot Machine - A Binding of Isaac style mod | Balatro | Page 1

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:39 AM

#

heyo! Im setting up a new mod that (you can tell from the title) is Isaac themed.
I will need some help because what im trying to accomplish goes far beyond my capabilities (coding wise),
but until then i will set up how the new mechanics work.

#

im currently gonna work on a little google sheet so i can keep track of every item and how i'll transfer its mechanics to balatro

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 9:31 AM

heres the sheet for now

its pretty basic but it works

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

also if anyone has any ideas for the cards then feel free to share (its also ok to give ideas for cards that already have effects)

#

Crooked penny:
50/50 to double your chips and mult, or set both to zero

#

I dunno why this was first thing to come to mind, but there ya go

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 9:50 AM

#

that sounds neat

#

i would change the wording but ill do that once i actually draw crooked penny

jovial steppe Aug 11, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

Welp, time to become part of this mod now and think of a bunch of dumb ideas for items

At 3 am X3

#

opaque elm I'm down to help wherever I can. I love the Binding of Isaac

yea im probably gonna have to come up with 700+ items, so i 100% wont be able to do this alone

opaque elm Aug 11, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

This gonna break the record for most Jokers in a single mod lol

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

it sure will

wooden glade Aug 11, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

opaque elm This gonna break the record for most Jokers in a single mod lol

;-; i can now imagine just a random person adding jokers like: this joker adds +1 mult | this joker adds +2 mult | ect ect ect

yea im only going to add meaningful effects, and im not afraid to switch up most of an items mechanics if it makes a better and more interesting card

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:21 PM

#

theres actually an important thing i have to address, do i make the tboi items jokers or consumables?

#

because it can change effects drastically

opaque elm Aug 11, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

Active items consumables, passive items jokers?

#

Maybe consumables you can use like 3 times before they disappear?

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

opaque elm Active items consumables, passive items jokers?

that would be a bit weird tho, having the same 'type' of thing in both jokers and consumables

opaque elm Aug 11, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

Maybe a new cardarea for Items

lime vigil Aug 11, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

I think having them be jokers with round cooldowns like invisible joker would work. passive items apply once, active items can keep being reused

opaque elm Aug 11, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

Or passive items are applied like vouchers, to the run

#

Could be too strong though

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

opaque elm Or passive items are applied like vouchers, to the run

this was my original plan

#

what if the passive items were applied like vouchers, BUT each item pool requires a different challange to unlock a random item

lime vigil Aug 11, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

I think it would be better to have them unlocked for individual runs like the hidden hands

opaque elm Aug 11, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

Yeah I like the idea of active items setting their "cool down" like invis joker with passives acting like vouchers

#

Add a new button on those items that says "Use"

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

opaque elm Add a new button on those items that says "Use"

yea we need that

#

for now i might think of different conditions for every item pool requirement

lime vigil Aug 11, 2024, 8:30 PM

#

oh you could also have passive items be waaaay weaker overall but acti more like planet cards

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

maybe, but i kinda prefer the voucher idea (but we will have to make a tracker for that in the current run stats)

lime vigil Aug 11, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

For effects, you could always look at Four Souls and see how items were applied to (an entirely different type of) card game there. get inspiration on how to adapt them

#

I might as well add my item ideas then

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

lime vigil I might as well add my item ideas then

feel free to do so

lime vigil Aug 11, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

you might also wanna add Pill consumables to make it so less items are made more complex

rose egret Aug 11, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

lime vigil you might also wanna add Pill consumables to make it so less items are made more...

tarots are fortunately in the game already

lime vigil Aug 11, 2024, 8:38 PM

yeah

Tarot Cloth - Uses tarot cards twice
Deck of Cards - Spawn a tarot card (1 round cooldown)
Mom's Bottle of Pills - Spawns a pill (1 round cooldown)
Starter Deck - Stops pills from spawning, adds a consumable slot
Little Baggy - Stops tarots from spawning, adds a consumable slot
Blank Card - Spawns a Fool card (2 round cooldown?)
Placebo - Spawns a Vurp pill (2 round cooldown?)
Blank Rune - Uses a spectral card. If you have one, the same one you have (leftmost). If you don't, use a random one. (4+ round cooldown)
Acid Baby - 1/4 chance to spawn a Pill when opening any booster pack
Rune Bag - 1/8 chance to spawn a Spectral Card when opening any booster pack
Guppy's Eye - Gives a preview of booster packs
Guppy's Paw - Consumes two playing cards and makes the left one Glass (High cooldown, too useful for deck thinning)
Guppy's Tail - 1/3 chance of a bought consumable giving a Booster Pack of the same type, 2/9 chance of it being instantly destroyed
Guppy's Collar - 50% chance to grant one hand when all hands are used
Guppy's Hairball - Spawn a playing card that increases in rank with each round cleared, splitting into two 2s after growing from an ace

I like Guppy's Collar. I like them all, but I wanted to comment on Guppy's Collar real quick. I wonder if there's another item we can use to make a 50% chance to grant one discard when all discards are used

@rose egret you should make a google sheet

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 1:59 PM

#

fallen mural <@433318977020887040> you should make a google sheet

I did

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 1:59 PM

#

rose egret heres the sheet for now https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17VLZj5XRMK-ShqVU...

its here

#

there are some effects but im probably gonna change them (bc of the whole voucher idea)

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:00 PM

#

Oh I meant like uhhh

#

a suggestion sheet

#

if that makes sense

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:00 PM

oh like a forum?

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

i could try something like that for suggestions

#

I might just change the original to be a suggestion kinda thing

#

i need to figure out how to make those 'elongated circle' shapes

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

type @ in your sheet and select dropdowns

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

thanks

#

should i also maybe add trinkets to the game?

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

Could be good as held consumable effect

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

exactly

#

like a color card but passive

#

ok i made part of it

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

neat

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:26 PM

#

ok i finished the 2 dropdowns that i need (probably gonna make a third one for rarity)

#

let me just make it so you can edit it yourself

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:28 PM

#

Fixed some alignment too

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:28 PM

#

neat

#

also most of the current effects were made before the whole voucher idea

#

so you can get rid of those

#

i always wanted it to be in the middle and not the bottom, that feels good

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:30 PM

#

can some cards be consumables? Cause I just want to like, port over my Spindown dice idea

#

a Balatro styled Spindown Spectral would be amazing kekw

#

maybe works better as a Joker idk

#

🤔

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:32 PM

#

maybe, i feel like the joker idea fits more, bc you have to sacrifice joker space for active items

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:33 PM

#

fair

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:34 PM

#

anyways, i feel like the health up items are gonna be the hardest to come up with concepts for

#

becausue they are mostly the same

#

and also glitched crown and binge eater will also be a pain

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:36 PM

#

rose egret anyways, i feel like the health up items are gonna be the hardest to come up wit...

reduce blind requirement by x chips

#

or just gives hands or discards

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

hands i feel like are reserved for 20/20, inner eye, and mutant spider

#

and discard i have no idea

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

hands are kinda like your health

#

but that's just me

#

maybe they work for mult or chips?

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:38 PM

#

maybe, but i feel like theres something were missing here

#

i think blind blind requirement reduction makes the most sense, BUT it should be percentage based (like 5% reduction but stacks so that each one gets weaker and weaker)

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:40 PM

#

mhm

#

What if Binge Eating just gives you a choice between a normal Joker and a food joker that like

#

swaps

#

every few seconds

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:40 PM

#

yea that sounds good

#

glitched crown would be op tho

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

Broken Deck kekw

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

(unless we make it give 5 jokers from the same rarity)

#

(which can still be op)

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

8 Jokers but each one you buy becomes Eternal

#

or only eternal jokers show up in the shop

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:41 PM

#

the second one sounds more vanilla like

#

also i thought of maybe making decks based off of each character

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:42 PM

#

I could make some concepts

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:43 PM

#

isaac would just be with a D6

#

while tainted isaac would have to actually buy the items and store it in 8 joker slots

#

or maybe 10 for some joker play

#

but it would cycle through 2 items on each item

#

WAIT WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT D-INFINITY

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

work on it when the time comes

#

don't worry about it for nowe

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

ok

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

rose egret or maybe 10 for some joker play

What would the downside be to this again?

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

fallen mural What would the downside be to this again?

passive items no longer act as vouchers, but as jokers

#

but it would be annoying to code for one specific deck

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

true..

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

i would revert it to 8 slots tho

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

It has 8 tho

#

5+3

#

=8

#

Anyways unlock condition sounds fair? Beating a deck on gold stake is definitely a challenge

#

and maybe you get specific unlocks for beating decks on certain stakes to replace the uh

#

boss unlocks

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

fallen mural Anyways unlock condition sounds fair? Beating a deck on gold stake is definitely...

it should probably be something related to the red key

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

Maybe beat a stake with the Red Key?

rose egret Aug 13, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

i have an actual idea for the red key

#

red key can let you beat a blind (can be used to stall for better shops/reroll scamming/money)

#

what if you used red key on ante 8, and then had to beat a final boss to unlock the tainted deck?

#

as an ante 8 only thing

#

also if you guys have any ideas for the items that are currently in the sheet then you can add them

opaque elm Aug 13, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

Just gonna put this out here, the Bloat as an Ante 8 boss 😂

#

Also, for the suggestions and such, if you have a GitHub repository you can enable Discussions. that's got a lot of good options for things like that and it's tightly integrated with the code

fallen mural Aug 13, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

There isn't code yet so that's gonna be a bit

#

Anyways I think ante 8 bosses should be related to the run end bosses (Mom, Stan, Mega Stan, etc.)

opaque elm Aug 13, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

Yeah, that's the most logical option. I just hate the Bloat lol

rose egret Aug 14, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

Time to sprite for the day, first sprite : mom's heels

#

Mom's Lipstick

#

Coathanger

#

looks like im going to have to draw a new item pool

#

for the first active item

rose egret Aug 14, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

Here is the new item pool and the first active item

#

and thats todays art grind

rose egret Aug 14, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

i think ik how the bosses in this mod are gonna work, most are gonna be normal boss blinds, while the ones that aren't randomly chosen (ie mom, satan, isaac, etc..) will be the final bosses

opaque elm Aug 14, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

Maybe you could have the Mom fight around ante 4, Mom's Heart at Ante 6, and then a final boss at ante 8?

rose egret Aug 14, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

maybe, but that would feel very clunky

yea, its pretty fun working on them. but there are a bunch of em and i think it that having someone code/come up with concepts for it while im drawing new ones could be way better for the mod

I can start working on code for some of the ones you've got here if you'd like

btw has anyone thought about just using four souls graphics for these cards and then throwing them on a pixel filter

#

i guess it isn't the same

#

oh this is the mod that u were talking about

Yes

fair jetty Nov 28, 2024, 5:45 PM

has there been any work done

#

i wanted to call mine the binding of jimbo lol

fickle citrus Nov 28, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

Idk ask @rose egret

fair jetty Nov 28, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

bc my mods actually. exist

#

well, technically i only have one joker made at the moment that works, but like it is a joker

#

it was pretty technical i'm still very proud of it

#

anyone know the balatro splash logo font

fickle citrus Nov 28, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

No but you could also do the Isaac logo with Balatro logo colors

fair jetty Nov 28, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

i had a specific idea

#

calling it the binding of balatro would go hard actually

rose egret Nov 28, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

This mod is now kinda half combined with Balatro: Repentance. so any work done is more for that

#

i think that mod also has working jokers but they still use template art (from what i remember)

fickle citrus Nov 29, 2024, 4:14 PM

rose egret sure, here they are

was echo chamber suggested?

if no then i do 😈

#

basically make it how it works in TBOI

#

reuse latest 3 used consumables

#

idk probs is really op for balatro but i think it might be rare/legendary

#

ig i can also help with coding some stuff into the mod or smth

fickle citrus Nov 29, 2024, 6:28 PM

#

rose egret yep

I wanted to add the Joker text without editing your art, so I think I'm gonna do a floating sprite

#

Nevermind the position. I'll probably have it float above or below

#

I really wanna help on this

#

that art looks crazy good ngl

I would be willing to continue to work on it if you really wanna try

#

rose egret I would be willing to continue to work on it if you really wanna try

I kinda do

#

Well

#

I'll try to code what you already did first

#

And then I'll ask for more

#

I don't think credits on the card is a good idea tho it should be in the mod name and/or mod config menu with steamodded

#
