I know this is not up to everyone's tastes but I've been developing a tiny furry mod for balatro. It's not intended to overhaul anything, only to add references to the fandom here in there. It's still in it's early stages but it adds 7 new jokers and a new poker hand!

You can get it on github at https://github.com/Kachayet/Pawlatro

Oh I hadn't noticed people in here did furry stuff before that's cool

terse spire
#

I'm interested in seeing what this has to offer

#

Is there anyway I could get a look at the jokers?

jade badger
terse spire
#

Ah

#

I like that you added that one pfp everyone uses

jade badger
#

lol yeah

#

i’m lowkey

#

on the dl

jade badger
sly cave

#

You should do a card based on a lifejacket

sly cave
#

That is true

#

I already have pooltoy and beachtoy anyways might aswell go full in

jade badger
#

ace of diamonds

#

oh a joker

terse spire
#

The lifejacket could do something along the lines of...

#

I mean I assume this version is just adding jokers to the jokers that are already in the game

#

Because in that case I was gonna suggest something similar to Mr. Bones

jade badger
#

mr bones is kinda unique already

terse spire
#

Yeah I know

jade badger
#

but i see it

terse spire
#

Maybe instead it could do something when you run out of discards

jade badger
#

maybe

jade badger
terse spire
#

For the legendaries you could try getting permission from the big big Furries if it becomes big enough

jade badger
#

depends what is going to be added

sly cave
jade badger
#

is it content or/and aesthetic changes?

sly cave
#

I did want to make a texture for the cards and stuff

jade badger
#

yeah

sly cave
#

But I wanted to this mod out there first yk

terse spire
#

Let's see what other furry things are there...
Oh you should make some jokers based on those consent things you see at furcons

sly cave
#

See what other people are hyped

terse spire
#

Like the "Don't Pick Me" stuff

jade badger
#

those could translate well into jokers for sure

sly cave
#

But make it based on furry cons

#

And they only give furry cards

terse spire
#

For the meme pack you should definitely include a protobean

terse spire
sly cave
#

I mean I can add memes no problem

sly cave
terse spire
#

Hmm maybe

jade badger
#

do we know if this is based on only concepts within the fandom (existing species) or incorporating known individuals as well (eg life jacket)

terse spire
#

You could do jokers based on pride flags

#

Idk if that'd be a bad idea or not

jade badger
sly cave
jade badger
#

to minimise bloat and mod clashing

sly cave
#

I don't see a reason why not since well known individuals are basically part of the furry culture to some extent too

jade badger
#

true, RIP sysable

terse spire
#

What if consent cards were like this games version of consumables

#

Furry cards and then consent cards as new consumables

sly cave
#

I guess free publicity would be a problem?? One of my initial ideas was a Bomb Voyage joker that would generate useless drama cards but he just recently got in trouble for some very bad things

terse spire
#

Wdym useless drama cards lol

#

You mean like common cards or

sly cave
#

It was just kind of a random idea to add "Weekly Drama" joker cards

jade badger
sly cave
sly cave
#

I was gonna say to reserve them only for legendary jokers but I feel like that's too high of a spot

jade badger
#

yeah and to reduce being compelled to make cards based on social media drama every week

jade badger
terse spire
#

That could work

#

Gotta have protogen

#

Kobold

sly cave
#

Here are some of the cards I initially planed

Government mandated fursona: Creates a rare joker after boss blind is selected (must have room), self destructs afterwards.
Cheese grater: +0.1X mult per defeated blind.
Con rave: Shuffles all jokers at the end of the turn +0.25X mult.
Greymuzzle: +Ante to X mult.

terse spire
#

Cheese grater lmao

#

That's fowl

jade badger
#

nahhh

sly cave
jade badger
#

synergises with raccoon

terse spire
#

Gotta have uh... What other big species are there...

#

Dragon?

sly cave
#

Cerval

terse spire
#

Oh of course

#

Sergal

sly cave
#

I butchered that completely

jade badger
#

manokit, ursa, rexium, kobold, primagen??

sly cave
#

Warrior cat card or something would also be cool though I feel like that'd have to be it's own mod

jade badger
#

warrior cats is crazy work

#

yall fw animal jam

#

again, should be its own mod tbh

sly cave
#

I wish I knew what that was when I was younger

#

I'm not from the US so I missed out on it 😭

jade badger
#

animal jam?

sly cave
#

Yeah

jade badger
#

idk if it was american

#

nat geo kids commissioned it

sly cave
#

I mean I'm brazilian

jade badger
#

oh right

terse spire
#

Tony the Tiger

sly cave
#

I didn't knew english until I was like 13

sly cave
jade badger
#

i’m spanish so i must be an internet old head

sly cave
#

Furry bait should be uncommon

terse spire
#

Sonic the Hedgehog too while you're at it

#

Oh Furry Bait would be a great joker idea

jade badger
#

jimber sonic OC

terse spire
#

Hedgehog OC

jade badger
#

uppies should be like strength tarot

terse spire
#

Hmm... Maybe

#

Do you plan on adding any new enhancements

jade badger
#

fuzzy cards

terse spire
#

You could add playing cards with paws or scratches on them

#

Like it makes it look like a cat walked over it

sly cave
#

This is a wild train of thought but speaking of sonic the hedgehog I was thinking of making a deck with pooltoy and beachtoy and call it "inflation" but I lowkey got afraid that'd be too on the nose

sly cave
terse spire
#

Now that you mention inflation I was thinking about adding a "Bike Pump" joker lmao

sly cave
#

I'm up to adding anything really

jade badger
#

yeah no something like squeaky deck or a challenge with those eternal

undone quail
#

holy shit 👀

sly cave
terse spire
sly cave
terse spire
#

Like maybe "after each boss blind, all shop prices go up by 1"

sly cave
#

True

jade badger
#

translucent cards would look so cool stacked up

#

like those infinite mirrors

sly cave
#

The thing is that the pooltoy and the beachtoy joker each increase hand and joker slot size by 1 every round but it has a chance of "popping" (self destroying)

terse spire
#

Hmm idk about that

sly cave
#

So making the shop more expensive on top of that would make it a very hard run but I feel like it could be fun

terse spire
#

It could be fun

jade badger
#

increasing joker slot is quite op, needs a harsher downside

terse spire
#

Exactly

#

What about increasing hand size instead

reef whale
#

I'm curious what the new pokerhand is.
Although if it's just a 6 and a 9 I'm going to be disappointed.

But I will say I'm interested in seeing where this mod will go.

sly cave
#

One increases hand size and the other joker slots, I didn't knew how to balance them rlly

terse spire
#

Oh we definitely need a 69 joker

sly cave
terse spire
#

Like it's literally just a card with 69 on it

#

Nothing else

jade badger
#

single 69 pair is played, does something…

terse spire
#

The hand would be called "nice"

sly cave
#

I would add a 69 hand but I'm afraid that's not furry enough

#

But I feel like just for the joke it'd be funny

jade badger
sly cave
#

Have 1 card that is not furry themed at all

#

Human joker card

terse spire
#

The anti-fur

reef whale
sly cave
#

Legendary

terse spire
#

The anti-fur should be like a slightly better Madness

jade badger
terse spire
#

Oh my God YES

jade badger
#

one of us…

sly cave
terse spire
#

I have an idea

#

Actually nah nevermind it sucks lol

sly cave
#

I mean you can still say it 😭

terse spire
#

No thanks lol

sly cave
#

I'm just hogging ideas maybe they'll be useful in the future

terse spire
#

I was coming up with an antifur ability but it sounded better in my head

jade badger
#

brainstorming up in here

#

these ideas are so unbalanced lol i love it

terse spire
jade badger
#

balala reference

terse spire
#

Can we add an OwO Banana

reef whale
#

Admitly the only idea I can think of is have something related to the game "Changed"
Like, having a enhancement that will change another card in your hand into the card that you have enhanced
(So id you have a "infected" King, in your played hand, one of your played cards would become that same king.)
Not exactly sure if it should be chance based or not but that's just my two cents.

terse spire
#

Oh a latex joker would be neat

#

Heck maybe Puro should be a legendary

#

Puro's ability would be "At the beginning of each blind, transform any joker that isn't a furry into a furry"

sly cave
#

I have a transformation joker that's in the sprite sheet but I never knew what to do with him so it's just there

#

I do like the idea of having infected cards that will transform others though

#

It could very well fuck up your run or make it very cool

jade badger
#

so, it’s jokers only in the short term?

#

idk how difficult the rest is to code

#

havent dabbled in modding yet

sly cave
#

I'm probably gonna add the clawed enchancement soon

terse spire
#

I have a perfect idea for a legendary

jade badger
#

fuzzy cards…💔

sly cave
#

I want to add more stuff but I want to have a general idea of how they can fit with the rest of the mod beforehand

jade badger
#

sure

terse spire
#

BetaEtaDelota: After defeating a boss blind, add a Lifejacket to your jokers (must have room)

Lifejacket: Prevents death and gives you all hands and discards back, SELF DESTRUCTS (only able to be made by BetaEtaDelota)

jade badger
#

we just idea dumping atp

sly cave
terse spire
#

The lifejacket doesn't actually save you like Mr. Bones does, it just replenishes your hands and discards after running out of hands

reef whale
#

Tbh I feel like there's a lot of "furry" stuff that can be turned into neat gameplay stuff.
Although I'd be lying if I said the mere idea of this didn't catch my attention.
But I feel like I have a lot of ideas that could fit within the confines of Balatro.

jade badger
terse spire
#

I know it would be a wee bit OP but that's why it's locked behind a legendary

jade badger
#

could clutter joker slots tho

#

perkeo?

terse spire
#

Well it only gives you one if you have room

#

It's not negative

jade badger
#

ah right

#

but one slot would be more in favor of a joker you want to use

#

therefore for a worse bones costs 2 slots

sly cave
terse spire
#

Well it kind of saves you

#

It doesn't just give it to you like Mr. Bones does

#

It refills your hands and discards and keeps going

#

And then it immediately goes away

sly cave
jade badger
#

but if it’s once then you have however many hand you originally get, which is nice, but can ply get you so far

#

only*

terse spire
#

It's not guaranteed to save you

#

But it gives you a second chance

jade badger
#

true, the nature of balala

#

it’s an interesting one for sure

terse spire
#

Keep in mind you'll probably only have one at a time as well

#

I just realized what's gonna be the thing that gives you Legendary Furries

#

What's your version of soul

sly cave
#

I was thinking about the furry decks

reef whale
sly cave
#

They could only have furry jokers and be themed around big conventions

terse spire
#

Speaking of which we need furry food jokers

jade badger
terse spire
#

... Vore reference?

#

Lmao

jade badger
#

cheese grater is an instrument

#

water bottle maybe?

#

bottle episode

terse spire
#

We could make cheese a food joker
And then have the Sergal make cheese jokers

#

We could add Pawpsicles from Zootopia

sly cave
terse spire
#

What else do furries eat...

#

Eggplant?

sly cave
#

Doesn't normal balatro have a few food jokers already?

jade badger
#

might have to go burned fur on this mf /j

sly cave
#

Maybe we could use that

terse spire
#

We should add some new food jokers too

reef whale
jade badger
#

food jokers should probs be separate

terse spire
terse spire
#

They just so happen to all have a commonality

jade badger
#

there is probably a mod

#

and everyone eats food, furries are people

terse spire
#

Yeah but why not add some furry based food jokers

jade badger
#

ig

terse spire
#

Like you could add a Hot Dog, not to be confused with the Hot Dog

sly cave
jade badger
terse spire
#

You could add potions if that's more of a furry thing

jade badger
#

they might have to be distinct enough to be recognised as part of the mod

terse spire
#

Not only would that be a good reference but it's a paw

sly cave
jade badger
terse spire
#

You could have...

#

What else do furries eat

#

Maybe a bowl of dog food?

sly cave
terse spire
#

Like a bowl of kibble lol

jade badger
#

personally i don’t eat dog food

terse spire
#

Yes I know

jade badger
#

i see the vision but

terse spire
#

Alright fine lol

jade badger
#

normies be scared

terse spire
#

Hmm...

jade badger
#

if this were to be realised, then all content would have to be somewhat compatible with other mods

#

so the scale of the mod is something to keep in mind

terse spire
#

What other pieces of media do furries like

jade badger
#

(and dev mental health)

terse spire
#

Like movies

#

The Lion King?

sly cave
#

I was thinking about adding VN cards as celestial cards, I just don't know how much of the fandom consumes VNs

terse spire
#

What's a VN card

sly cave
#

Visual Novel

jade badger
#

nobel

sly cave
#

nobel

terse spire
#

nobel

sly cave
#

Echo is big on my timeline on twitter but I don't know how big it is outside of it

jade badger
#

personally i don’t (i should) so just some small references here and there maybe

terse spire
#

Can we get an X3 card that adds X3

frozen furnace
#

Based

sly cave
#

Yes

jade badger
#

colon three

sly cave
#

Currently the protogen card is X3 (not balanced at all)

terse spire
#

:3

#

Can we get a dollar bill
Just a reference to the stereotype of Furries being rich

sly cave
#

we already have the Suspiciously Wealthy Joker

jade badger
#

THREE THOUSANF DÓLAR RUG

terse spire
jade badger
#

i have an entire list of song name jokes that are furry themed (?)

#

i make sound you see

terse spire
#

All the Single Furries

jade badger
#

so i’ll see if there is any good card names in there

sly cave
sly cave
terse spire
#

It would enhance high cards

#

"adds X1.5 if no cards in played hand have the same rank"

jade badger
#

jeb bush

#

and it’s just a card with jeb bush

reef whale
#

I have an idea but this is mainly because I know a lot of furry dudes myself so here's one of them

Keare (A character belongs that belongs Kearecyros on bluesky)

Ever played card gains +1 mult (like camper but rarer and more powerful. Probably another legendary)

Mainly based off the fact that their lad likes offering their powerful mana to other fellows.

terse spire
#

I have an idea for a food joker

#

What about a dragonfruit

sly cave
#

I could maybe start adding people's fursona at one point in the future as uncommon

#

But I do wonder what would be the criteria to add them because I'm just one person doing all of this and I can't add every single furry

jade badger
#

maybe there should be more rarities to organise card types and increase/decrease the pool

#

like if fursona cards were commissioned they would be rare but still unaffected by the rarity pool?

sly cave
jade badger
#

legendaries should for sure be reserved

sly cave
jade badger
#

that would make it very community oriented

reef whale
jade badger
#

and there are already people commissioning themselves as jumbo

sly cave
#

Yeah, my ultimate wish of the mod is to make it community focused so I can work something out

jade badger
#

don’t burnout to

#

tho

sly cave
#

I'm gonna start posting the mod on my socials in a bit to see if anyone plays and has some feedback about the initial jokers first

jade badger
#

lowkey wanna make my own mod now

sly cave
jade badger
#

how do you learn to mod jokers?

sly cave
#

Uhh it's complicated but like not hard yk

jade badger
#

for sure, i understand the file structure of the game directory

#

but writing lines scary

sly cave
#

There's a few tutorials id reccomend but I'd have to dm you those i dont want to clutter here with links not related to the mod

jade badger
#

i only saw two

#

the kñjoker and consumable tutorial

#

what

sly cave
#

kñjoker

jade badger
#

spanish keyboard goes wild

reef whale
#

Ok this one's a bit of a vague one but what about there being a "boykisser" joker that only triggers with Kings and Jacks (or maybe just jacks?)
As for the effect the only thing coming to mind right now is
"Retrigger each jack depending on how many you have, with the retriggers scaling grom left to right (so the first one gets triggered once while the fifth one retriggers five times)

jade badger
#

(not my art)

reef whale
terse spire
#

You should make one of the furry ones based on one of those furries that supposedly worked on the COVID vaccine

jade badger
#

you mean Chase?

#

they did indeed work on one of the vaccine strands

terse spire
#

Yeah they deserve a joker

#

Not even necessarily a legendary one

#

But maybe some kind of scientist furry

jade badger
#

Zeekers and Emma Essex deserve one too then

terse spire
#

You could have them doing that meme of the guy looking at the test tube

#

The ability would have to be something related to vaccination so...

#

Maybe it could be able to disable boss blinds or something

jade badger
#

no hate but your joker ideas are kind of broken lol

terse spire
#

I know

#

What about

jade badger
#

whether the mod will be true vanilla esque or cryptid coded who knows

terse spire
#

"During a boss blind, your final hand will not be affected by the boss blind ability"

#

I guess that would make the "only 1 hand" one kinda obsolete

jade badger
#

yuh

terse spire
#

Hmm...

jade badger
#

maybe hiker esque

#

injects mult instead of chips

#

+.5 permanent mult for each card played

#

to each card

#

would make thinning deck stronger

sly cave
#

I will make most cards vanilla-esque, but I don't mind having a few broken ones in it because otherwise it could be a bit underwhelming

#

Just not every card will be broken

terse spire
#

I don't try to make the abilities broken

#

It's just concepts before simplifying them

sly cave
#

Yeah dw, I get that

#

I think my pooltoy and beachtoy cards are insanely broken when I didn't mean it

terse spire
#

The balance between good and fair is a hard one to find

reef whale
#

For Zeekers I feel like it'd be fitting for it to go along with it being Lethal Company themed.
Like-
"Each played card with an enhancement, edition, and stamp gives $.
BUT every played hand that contains a card with one of those will either-
A: Have a chance for the card to be destroyed
or
B: After the played hand you lose a Discard or Hand."
To sorta simulate the idea of handing over scrap to Jeb and how it could go horribly wrong.

terse spire
#

So... A slightly worse vampire?

reef whale
#

It's at least a starting point.
All I know is that-
"What the Joker is based off usually determines how it functions to some degree."

Granted it doesn't have to be based of Lethal Company it's just the first thing that came to mind.

#

As for the vaccine related one maybe have it so it can undo debuffed cards?
But maybe it's either a "once per round thing" or gets destroyed when the joker gets triggered.

late herald
#

no freakin way

#

this mod is pawsome

jade badger
#

get out!

late herald
reef whale
#

You know I'm surprised the pun wasn't made sooner.

terse spire
#

Gotta have a boop joker

reef whale
#

Maybe boop just retriggers a random played card?
Or the highest played card?

dim atlas
#

Inflation econ joker..

#

Also sonicfox is a pretty notable figure

terse spire
#

Hey uh

#

Cheese grater joker?

#

As a matter of fact, I'm even thinking cheese should be a joker and then it could be connected to other jokers

#

Make cheese be like a really simple consumable joker and then have other jokers that play around the idea of giving cheese or benefiting from cheese

#

Sergals... That meme of cheese being thrown on a cat

#

Uh...

#

Ya know stuff like that

shadow fractal
#

Mmm... cheese..

#

:3 joker when

terse spire
#

There should be a fursuit joker that has some sort of ability related to card suits

#

Like "after each played hand, gain 1$ for each X suit card held in hand"

#

Or you could even have the fursuit's ability be related to "X3 during boss blinds, -20$ after defeating boss blinds"

terse spire
#

I'm just gonna shoot a bunch of ideas

dim atlas
#

Bomb Voyage joker...

#

If you know any con lore you'll get it

jade badger
#

con lore…

#

you got insane ball knowledge if you know this goob

sly cave
#

Sorry everyone these past few weeks have been busy for me but I'm planning on releasing a new update real soon !! (ETA monday)

dim atlas
#

Hell yeah

sly cave
terse spire
#

Interesting

sly cave
#

I don't think that the cheese grater meme is worthy enough to warrant a whole set of mechanics on top of it

#

Like I def could add a new mechanic to the game like tf or goo but don't want to add too many yk

#

Keep it to a few special ones

terse spire
#

That's fair I suppose

#

I just figured there was quite a bit you could do with the theme of cheese

#

Maybe you could have like a mouse joker too

dry flax
