Nothing available as of current to download. Once I'm happy with my work (I am brand new to this so might be a while!), I'll throw it up on Github.

#

Current additions. textures are temporary; wanted to get them functional before I made something more creative

is dwarven deck just golden needle?

fiery cradle
#

definitely similar in spirit

#

but it's a tad easier with the extra discards

#

and by a tad I mean a lot lol

#

honestly when thinking of a deck to test out in terms of "let's get something basic done", it was pretty much the first thing that came to mind

#

big hand sizes is funny

fiery cradle
#

true!

#

I quite like the idea of that one, you see more cards up front and have more options (flush spam is trivial), and it's funny for late game where you can abuse held in hand stuff more

#

but until you cut the deck, good luck digging

#

another generic addon deck, just swapping the Checkered suits

#

and two more in a similar vein; these are a bit more flavourful

pallid gust
#

checkered decks 2, 3, and 4

fiery cradle
#

tbf they at least are a bit different. the suit jokers are thankfully all distinct

#

I might end up making a few custom jimbos that specifically tie to suits to further widen that variety

#

rn carnelian and obsidian are at least a bit different but yeah tartan is literally just checkered 2 lmaooo

#

either way a fair few of these decks are just practice runs, once I have the ideas and skills for more inventive decks they'll be sure to take the limelight

Minor updates on my progress and general plans EmuJoy

  • I've just made my first custom suit! I'm considering if, and how, I'd integrate custom suits into my plans for decks, might just have it as an additional toggle with some other decks built around them. I've got a few ideas for more creative decks that'd definitely benefit from more suits, so I'll see how I can go about making those.
  • I've been testing out particularly the Carnelian Deck and really like how it plays and feels overall; definitely quite strong if you can get a Smeared alongside either mineral jimbo (or both even), and I imagine Blackboard will be a bit strong on the Obsidian Deck. I don't really mind it too much, though, as if you're playing those decks, you'd want to lean into those strategies anyway. Still considering this for future balancing though!
  • I've been talking with the devs of #1319412137977712691 and Balatro Multiplayer over doing some decks with compatibility in mind for those mods. A big part of this will likely also include compatibility with Card Sleeves, which I'll be looking into. These plans drastically increase the chances of me actually releasing this as a mod sooner rather than later, so keep an eye out I guess!
#

Also with the custom suits, I'm planning on making custom Jimbos for them too to align with the base suits. That's something I haven't tried yet, but I don't imagine it'll be too outrageously difficult to figure out Emu_thumbsup

#

Main focus is still on the decks though. I'm going to come up with some solid ideas to test out, run things by Draft+Multi, then likely make some actual deck art for the new ones + Catalogue/Dwarven

I mean, we already have two different jokes we could go for with it (Hearts + Clubs with the 'other' kind of club, and Diamonds + Spades with a golden shovel)

fiery cradle
#

I've been considering having certain things like that as sleeves?

#

so they can interfere with other decks but not take up slots on their own, in that sense

#

so the options are always there, just a bit more tucked away; means I can then make my base decks with more modifiers and such, then let you slap things like that on too

pallid sail
#

Fair point, yeah

fiery cradle
#

sleeves being redundant is less of an issue since, well, they're not what you're beating

#

rly cool idea, im excited to see how you implement custom suits with new decks

fiery cradle
#

I'll try and make decks with additional suits compatible and transferrable with a few other mods that add suits

#

generally, the more compatible this mod, the better

good mod

weather update: been helping out with other mods, focus in terms of decks will be on making interesting sleeves for Balatro Multiplayer (so Aural Decks might end up as an add-on for that?)
