Komakusa Cards - Touhou Themed Jokers | Balatro | Page 1

coarse tinsel Aug 16, 2024, 10:30 PM

#

This mod aims to add Jokers and cards themed around the Touhou Project! If you don't know what the touhou project is you should probably be looking elsewhere. As of now the mod is in alpha and adds one common, one uncommon, and one rare, but that is due to change with time. The plan as of now is to create jokers based on the bosses of the games in incremental order although that may be set to change
For any potential suggestions please put them in the github issues tab under the content label, enjoy!

Yes

#

Good to know

coarse tinsel Aug 16, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

oh yep! ill add that to the readme

#

i should make sure to keep my steammodded up to date

distant wasp Aug 19, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

oh, I had a very similar thing brewing on my PC, but I never really got around to any of it, I suppose I'll post what I had planned and if they wish to be added, I'm fine with it (you had plans for hakkero and "dream seal"/yin-yang which is also fair)

#

I'll see about posting it to the github too, but this should be a well of ideas to start with, and I'll see if I can think of anything else

📎 Balatro_2hu_Jokers.txt

#

never did think of anything for the hifuu club which is criminal because it rules

coarse tinsel Aug 19, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

oh wow, this is a lot!

#

for consumables, well there's kind of always a problem with balatro consumables in mods imo

#

its weird to add more tarot cards when the 22 major arcana are already covered, and adding a lot more spectral cards ends up being sort of messy since spectral packs are so rare

#

so the only option is more booster packs and but idk if having a new tab in the collection menu requires ui changes or what not

distant wasp Aug 19, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

consumables were a bit scatterbrained, wouldn't really need to be implemented

coarse tinsel Aug 19, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

i do want them though, spell card related consumables could be interesting

distant wasp Aug 19, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

in that case, I think originally I would've had a deck with the power-up voucher to start with, and as for where the consumables can show up...

coarse tinsel Aug 19, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

yep yep, in any case there's a lot here that i like and think would be good

distant wasp Aug 19, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

didn't get that far other than "hey these can just show up in the shop at some point" or well the P and point items would anyways

#

the bomb items as the voucher says is intended to be given when you defeat the boss blind

#

kind of like when you take out bosses/spell cards sometimes in the games, sometimes those gives 1-Ups but I'm not really sure if there's an elegant 1-Up item that could be given that's not just...revive

coarse tinsel Aug 19, 2024, 4:37 PM

#

+1 hand and discard?

#

officially the games just call it an "extend"

distant wasp Aug 19, 2024, 4:37 PM

#

yeah that's standard for arcade shmups

#

that'd probably be the closest thing, but it'd probably have to be similar to the bomb item honestly where it'd guarantee the card's destroyed when played

#

because just having that as something you can always slap onto every hand is very strong

#

~~don't worry about all the gimmick drop items like cherry blossoms or animal spirits I'm sure they can be implemented cleanly~~

coarse tinsel Aug 19, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

I do like a lot of these ideas, I think they work really well! I'll probably workshop a few of them in eventually

#

~~maybe the prismriver one because i barely thought of anything for them~~

distant wasp Aug 19, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

the ones I struggled with the most were the PC98 ones and honestly I think I could've done Junko's better

#

zanmu also was kinda written in, but not enough time/people giving a care about her so there's barely anything done with her yet

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 1:20 AM

#

new joker

#

the card art is a little wip but thats all

#

for those curious, the next update will have all the eosd themed jokers, so itll still be a bit before its out

distant wasp Sep 23, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

so are we trying to eventually get all the 2hus represented?

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 1:49 AM

#

that would be the hope!

#

all of the stage bosses at least

#

the current idea for cirno is that it'll be a scaling chips joker, but for patchouli and meiling im kind of unsure what i want to do

#

maybe patchouli can be like the reimu one? and can add the purple seal to a card

#

oh that actually might be good

#

if played hand is a straight flush add a purple seal to a randomly played card

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

so like an addon mod for komakusa cards that has deck skins? thatd work

sullen grove Sep 23, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

Yeah that’d work I think

#

Heck maybe way later down the line there could even be touhoutastic card sleeves

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

i dont have any idea what a touhou deck'd look like lmao

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 3:06 AM

#

as for other things. theres not going to be new arcana cards but there might be new spectral cards, not sure. probably going to be a new consumable type though
We already have ofuda as a new card enhancement, but there'll probably be more. editions and seals are unsure

rare cipher Sep 23, 2024, 9:08 AM

#

Oh sick

#

If i think if anything today ill ask

distant wasp Sep 23, 2024, 9:13 AM

#

(Meiling) Tenryuukyaku: If at least two cards are played and the played cards are all the same rank and different suits, increase rank by 1.

#

chose the romaji instead of the actual card "Sky Dragon Kick" as part of Meiling's style in the games

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

oh i really like that idea

#

something that sort of acts like a strength card but as a joker

distant wasp Sep 23, 2024, 12:16 PM

#

I wanted to make the conditions to not make it completely free strength

#

still provides some relatively easy deck fixing

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 1:43 PM

#

oh and heres one idea ive had that i dont know if itd be possible to implement but i like the idea

#

a moon planet card that adds 10 chips to all poker hands

distant wasp Sep 23, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

well seeing as jen's collection allows for editions on planet cards (e.g. foil giving an additional +50 chips on top of its original boost), that should be very possible

coarse tinsel Sep 23, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

oh damn, didnt know that
i should play around with more stuff in the modding community

#

by the way when i was just thinking about a meiling joker last night the idea i came up with was something with flat mult that was always a rental

#

namely +20 mult -3 dollars at end of round

#

it was just one of the ideas i had, id probably want to chew on it some more

distant wasp Sep 23, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

sounds like it could work with some of the animal spirit kingdom characters

#

or tewi, but tewi probably wants to lean in on luck if I were to guess

coarse tinsel Sep 28, 2024, 6:29 AM

rumia joker is completed

coarse tinsel Sep 28, 2024, 1:23 PM

its even got a funky lil icon now!

i have an interesting idea for what the cirno joker will be lol

coarse tinsel Sep 28, 2024, 11:00 PM

#

sullen grove Sep 28, 2024, 11:33 PM

#

Perfectly silly

coarse tinsel Sep 28, 2024, 11:46 PM

#

oh no thats not the only cirno joker, next ones art is being worked on rn

coarse tinsel Sep 29, 2024, 11:16 PM

#

stronger baka

#

if youre wondering how this works, "the strongest jimbo" will only spawn in the shop if you have the baka joker

#

And if you want to play with that Baka, the a1.1 update has been pushed to github!

iron pelican Sep 30, 2024, 12:12 AM

#

coarse tinsel stronger baka

should give 999 chips

terse plinth Sep 30, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

coarse tinsel

I feel like this should give ⑨ chips

coarse tinsel Sep 30, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

Might change them then lol

sullen grove Oct 2, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

Since multiple mods have had CardSleeves I’ve thought of 2 so far that could easily be expanded or reworked into a different sleeve etc but thought I’d share the ideas atm

Baka Sleeve- All 9 cards have a increased chip amount (you also start with 9 joker slots and cards have a 9% higher chance of being negative. In short if there’s a value it’s increased or decreased by 9 specifically but this entire sleeve could be rebalanced accordingly]

Marisa Sleeve-“borrow” (gain) a hand every boss bind defeated [this one could probably be reworked into something more fitting]

clear pollen Oct 2, 2024, 10:59 PM

#

ngl i was expecting cirno jokers to have +chip values in base 9 values

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 12:44 AM

#

if we really wanted to go off of marisa's "borrowing" idea...
Kirisame Deck: Start with Overstock Voucher (Overstock+ when combined with sleeve), after defeating each boss blind, gain a coupon tag.

#

overstock voucher does end up conflicting with zodiac admittedly

#

as for cirno...
Shaved Ice Deck: Your deck starts out with no 9 cards. 9s in card packs or the shop are guaranteed to be Polychrome (start with a negative eternal Cloud 9 Joker when combined with sleeve).

#

I would like to take the 9 ball idea in a different direction for a centralized deck

iron pelican Oct 3, 2024, 1:05 AM

#

distant wasp as for cirno... Shaved Ice Deck: Your deck starts out with no 9 cards. 9s in car...

sounds good but is starting with no 9s really needed?

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 11:59 AM

#

i do want there to be touhou-specific decks but im not entirely sure how theyd work. once we get further into the mod we can see the balancing thatd work there

#

i definitely want a deck thatd only spawn mod-specific jokers in the shop, if thats possible

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 12:00 PM

sullen grove Since multiple mods have had CardSleeves I’ve thought of 2 so far that could eas...

this marisa deck idea is similar to an idea i had for a yukari joker

#

50% chance for +1 hand size at the end of an ante, 50% chance for -1 hand size at the end of an ante, chances are dependant and can not change

sullen grove Oct 3, 2024, 12:01 PM

#

Ohh sounds pretty slick :D

#

Initially I thought of ether a bad Apple sleeve (or card) that made it so there’s a 50% chance a card shows up as negative,but then I realized how op that’d be without a probability rework (or completely changing the gimmick) and the fact there’s actually a bad apple joker shockingly https://github.com/jamesthejellyfish/BadAppleBalatro

btw just to note theres going to be basically no ways of turning a joker negative. ectoplasm is fine enough as is, dont like going too overboard

sullen grove Oct 3, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

oh yeah fair tbh. It’d probably turn into some cryptid level insane stuff if it was the case though (that’d be overboard)

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

also i know literally nothing about card sleeves, thats a mod i havent even played with yet

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 2:15 PM

#

sullen grove oh yeah fair tbh. It’d probably turn into some cryptid level insane stuff if it ...

yeah balatro mods end up having almost inevitable powercreep to them, i want to try and lessen that as much as possible but i know that if im more or less doubling the joker count im not going to be totally successful

sullen grove Oct 3, 2024, 2:17 PM

#

Tbh every Balatro mod sorta has a line between cryptid level insane,or vanilla styled fun

Probably more layers to the halfs of the spectrum but I love the vanilla style of the available cards etc

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

the thing is that you cant just make more stakes to balance out the increasing joker amount

#

since its not guaranteed you get those good, powerful jokers

#

so dont worry no ascendant stake in this mod

#

maybe ill add two more

sullen grove Oct 3, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

Ah alright. Tbh even now this whole mod has a charm I can’t describe but enjoy nonetheless too

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

depending on how much of touhou project we leave in, it'll probably go beyond double the base game's joker count, considering hifuu, pc98, the recent detective satori, etc

#

at the very least I definitely would love to see hifuu represented, and I think that's...after IN? so in all honestly it'd be pretty close relatively to a majority of the series

#

also at some point I came up with boss blinds too based off of spell cards, but as stated before we're mainly focusing on jokers at the moment, so this is more or less just a "for fun" list

📎 2hu_Boss_Blinds.txt

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 3:30 PM

#

These are some really harsh bosses jeez

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

which ones specifically? obviously final bosses were supposed to be harsh, but I tried to make most of them on par with base

#

I guess visionary tuning could probably be reduced to around 1 in 3

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 3:32 PM

#

dazzling color typhoon totally breaks any flush build, not just the suit specific ones of head/window/etc.

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

hmm...perhaps it'd be better to say "if hand does not contain at least two suits, cards do not score" then

#

it would still hurt flush builds a lot, but it wouldn't outright kill them depending on when you encounter the boss blind

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 3:34 PM

#

yeah

#

i think in base balatro theres a decent number of ways to neutralize bosses in the midgame, but it really is just the midgame that bosses are in issue, once you have retcon they dont matter anymore

#

so imo boss blinds are difficult to design, if they run kill too bad then its a really disappointing loss ~ante 6

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

true

#

in that regard I guess Stone Baby and Crazy Backup Dance are really weird ones since they don't actually do anything during the boss blind, but rather affect the rest of the run

#

(permanently is supposed to just mean lasts after the boss blind is cleared)

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

what does permanently mean? like could you use death to copy over the card?

#

or is it just stuck as up a suit

#

can you still remove the card?

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 3:40 PM

#

permanently is basically just supposed to mean "this change stays after the blind is cleared" so any card manip afterwards would still work

#

just that the red seal king you played that hand could've been shifted or turned into stone

#

I don't know how else to phrase it eloquently

coarse tinsel Oct 3, 2024, 3:40 PM

#

right

#

boss blinds are definitely a latter thought but ill keep the ones you posted in mind

distant wasp Oct 3, 2024, 3:41 PM

#

admittedly some of them are very scatterbrained, but I think ones like Cursed Devil or Capture Web are interesting

I wonder how ZUN would work as a legendary Joker

Maybe xmulti or chip bonus per Touhoutastic card? Not really sure in the long run

distant wasp Oct 14, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

"Gain .5 XMult for each Komakusa Joker in hand at the end of the round."

#

though if there were ever an option when the mod comes far enough along where it's just "touhou jokers only" that wouldn't really work

#

"ZUN's Midnight Bar: Lose $4 when a hand is played and gain .25 XMult. If you cannot afford to pay $4, lose .25 XMult."

south ether Oct 14, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

been thinking of an aya or hatate joker idea like
"If first hand is only 1 card, all cards with the same rank as it give x1.5 mult"

#

the first hand thing is like a picture getting taken of that card

coarse tinsel Oct 14, 2024, 4:11 PM

Again I request people put their joker suggestions on the GitHub page rather than in discord as that makes it far far easier to find. There is a specific tag on the issue tracker for suggestions as well
