Making a thread for this, but I want to make a joker pack.
24 jokers for each of the 24 skills you have in the game, plus a bunch more jokers representing various aspects of Revachol, Insulinde, and Elysium as a whole.
#[WIP/Concepts] Elysium - A Disco Elysium Joker Pack

ENCYCLOPEDIA - All standard packs and playing cards in the shop are free.
RHETORIC -
DRAMA -
CONCEPTUALIZATION - Spectral cards have a 1/4 chance to copy themselves when used.
VISUAL CALCULUS - Hitting an exact blind requirement creates a Soul card.
VOLITION - Losing a run will give you a random Elysium joker at the start of your next run.
INLAND EMPIRE - 1/4 chance to grant a blind's skip reward when blind is selected.
EMPATHY - All jokers are counted as rare jokers.
AUTHORITY - Legendary jokers give X2 mult.
ESPRIT DE CORPS - Rare jokers are 2x more common.
SUGGESTION - Retriggers all common jokers.
ENDURANCE - Gains x0.25 mult for every non-winning hand played.
PAIN THRESHOLD - Prevents death one time, regardless of score.
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Stone cards also give +4 mult.

COP OF THE APOCALYPSE - 1/2 chance to gain X0.2 mult when playing a non-winning hand.
GUNSHOT (NON-FATAL) - (Technically non-canon, but it's a pivotal moment in the game so I'm adding it)

I feel like conceptualization would do something with hand types
er
hand size
because of the paintbrush/palette/painted deck/troubadour themes
it's all art related
haughty tiger
+1 hand size for every art item, maybe
haughty tiger
I'm not good at art.
But here's the concept for the Actual Art Degree joker.
It's not much, but I did my best.
I think I need to find an actual artist to make the joker sprites honestly.
weary sinew
Don't forget the white border
haughty tiger
I didn't, it's there.
weary sinew
No that's the gray border
haughty tiger
Oh, that's what you mean.
weary sinew
There's also a 2 pixel white border
haughty tiger
Thank you for letting me know.
Forgot that.
Going to head to bed, but tomorrow I'm going to resume programming the first roster of jokers.
haughty tiger
I'm likely going to use this card as a default/placeholder until I find someone who is capable of doing pixel art. I most certainly am not.
haughty tiger
Not perfect, but definitely functional.

||i feel like you should make aces high x1.5, and then make a separate Aces Low that is x2 and is only obtainable after destroying aces high||
vagrant crescent
had an idea to add onto this:
Horrific Necktie - Wild cards add x0.1 mult when scored
haughty tiger
||i feel like you should make aces high x1.5, and then make a separate Aces Low ...
Good idea. ||Aces low comes second, always. Good to have an upgrade joker.||
haughty tiger

Fantastic idea. I'll add it to the list.
I am currently having an aneurysm because, while the card functions fine, the description decidedly does not.
haughty tiger
Okay it turns out I was using the wrong format. Tomorrow I'm back to it though.
weary sinew
I could argue that the thought cabinet stuff would be more like vouchers
vagrant crescent
my question for Electrochemistry is, how is it going to work with things like the bean and popcorn where it trickles down to 0? i get expiration for like gros michel and cavendish
but does it stay at the highest value (like 20 mult or whatever is the bean hand size) or the lowest (4 mult or 1 hand size?)
haughty tiger
I could argue that the thought cabinet stuff would be more like vouchers
Honestly, better idea.
haughty tiger
my question for Electrochemistry is, how is it going to work with things like th...
I'm unsure right now. I want to say it remains at it's maximum value.
vagrant crescent
i think that'd make sense yeah
haughty tiger
I could argue that the thought cabinet stuff would be more like vouchers
Honestly I don't know how to make a voucher and I would prefer that this remained a joker pack specifically, so I'm going to keep them as jokers just because I'm lazy and half of them are already finished
weary sinew
In that case definitely start with the basic 24 skills
And maybe aces high/low cause it's funny
haughty tiger
First I need to figure out what the rest of the skills do.
haughty tiger
I am learning that I am not good at art.
(This is 20 minutes of effort btw.)
Okay, maybe I cannot speedrun an art degree.

Definitely not the best, but it represents the shot that presents the Aces High thought to you in game: ||When you successfully shoot Ellis down from the tree.||
weary sinew
Ohhh I thought that was a cigarette
