Resurgence (WIP) - Primordial Arts

[static finch]

let us hope

on the powerlevel scaling not the fun factor

[night prism]

this is why i would probably prefer if thunk just stopped updating probably

we have mods if we want more content

the base game is already close to perfect

but i know this is not a very good marketing strategy

[static finch]

he announced the update

months ago

if not a year

when was it

[night prism]

i know

[static finch]

thunk would probably make the ultra super gigachad move of making all game vers available

[night prism]

this is because thunk has a good marketing strategy rn

[static finch]

being?

[night prism]

the bad one whould be not updating the game

[static finch]

indie collabs?

[night prism]

even though it may be the best artistic one

i still can't wrap my head around how thunk was just a random guy and he became a millionaire in a few months

same with many indie game devs

that hit it big

[static finch]

one sitting atop a pile of corpses

[night prism]

though thunk was a surprisingly big case

[static finch]

hmmm that's a cool concept for weaker canio

actually

[night prism]

over 5 million copies in one year is crazy

but deserved

the game is peak

and thunk is even more peak

also he got me into modding

i guess i'll mod terraria next

[static finch]

oh boy

whatcha gonna make

[night prism]

though the only reason my mod got any traction is because balatro modding scene is still pretty young

[night prism]

no idea

[static finch]

fargo soul mod dlc extra ultra deluxe edition?

[night prism]

but terraria is peak

[static finch]

real

tho i'm afraid to ask how many hours you have

[night prism]

not many games i like that much that would benefit from a mod made by me

[night prism]

no idea honestly

[static finch]

trust me i'm an active detriment

not just mid

[night prism]

most of them are not on my current steam account

also i can basically only make pixel art

so there's that too

[night prism]

on my steam account i have only 70 hours, all on tmodloader

[static finch]

where are they

the shadow realm?

[night prism]

but probably many hundreds more from before

[night prism]

kinda

[static finch]

i got something like 500 total

in tmod more tho

i played before 1.4 and the time merger so

they're all screwed up

but i know i played too much fargo's for my own good

[night prism]

terraria will forever be peak

i'll keep saying this

even though many did before

[static finch]

"LAST UPDATE WE SWEAR"

drops shimmer

also unrelated but

[night prism]

incredible how they have been updating it for 12 years and every update makes the game better

not like minecraft

[static finch]

HAHAHHAAAA

real

"hey look guys we made 3 mobs in a whole 6 months, also don't forget useless feature nobody cares about and 3 more cosmetic blocks"

[night prism]

and i'm a new minecraft defender myself

but it's undeniable that most updates have been wothless

[static finch]

i have a pure, burning hatred for anything after 1.16.5

[night prism]

i just, don't care

[static finch]

that one was just the old magic glimmering one last time

[dusty river]

"you guys said you want the features we promised you and now we're mad so you can't have them 😡"

[static finch]

also the optimization takes a nosedive every time

[night prism]

i play on 1.21 but it could be 1.12 and nothing would change

[static finch]

"WHERE ARE MY FUCKING FIREFLIES"

[static finch]

eww, heretic

[night prism]

but have you considered: create

[dusty river]

remember when they removed a whole ass fucking biome update from their plans?

[static finch]

"bye bye savannah update"

[static finch]

have you considered: good fucking performance on my pc

[dusty river]

ulmtrakil mod :3

[static finch]

i get it there's estrogen so cool

hbm had that 10 years ago

[night prism]

never had performance issues with it

[static finch]

well i do

also there's no mods i like for those versions

i must live in my own idyllic past

[night prism]

anyway, mojang least based north european company

[dusty river]

hmmmm, isn't that a sign of-

[night prism]

and they still better than any american one

[static finch]

what

[dusty river]

facism

[static finch]

it's funny

wait, wait

they're owned by microsoft

[night prism]

yes

which is american

[static finch]

more like loving my memories from when i was a wee 8yo

[static finch]

so still shit

[night prism]

so it tracks

[static finch]

and american

[night prism]

america colonizes stuff and makes it worse

more news at 11

[dusty river]

england does that too tbf
america learned it from somewhere
the terrible white people family

[night prism]

england did way worse

[static finch]

hello mr imperialism

[static finch]

they're all inbred cousins anyway

[night prism]

but they existed for way longer

they had more time to be shitty

also, england made america

[dusty river]

england, us, france, and I think italy and probably germany

[night prism]

so it's actually always the brits fault

[dusty river]

is that it for the terrible white people family?

[night prism]

italy did barely anything after the roman empire fell

[dusty river]

canada, I guess, but they're, like, us lite from what I've heard lmao

[static finch]

yes.

[static finch]

we just kept getting invaded

yk

[night prism]

we barely controlled ethiopia for a few years

[static finch]

mussolini sucked ass as usual

[night prism]

canada was mostly bad to the natives

but like

[dusty river]

HA, almost removed u guys, nope, y'all still in the terrible white people fam

[night prism]

still a british colonial project

[night prism]

the you should also add portugal, belgium, spain

most of europe really

[static finch]

almost all of it

[night prism]

like, all of latin america ffs

[static finch]

well, every single country has a shitty part in history

[dusty river]

spain I knew but forgor, the other 2 are new to me actually

[static finch]

PORTUGAL

THE COLONIES?

[night prism]

brazil

belgium colonies too

[dusty river]

woah, I had no idea

[static finch]

belgians just exploited south africa like it was the last day

they held it

every single day

[night prism]

the reason italy was not as shitty is not because we are good, it's because we are too incompetent to be evil

[static finch]

it's called italian moment

[night prism]

mussolini prime example

wanted to be evil so bad

too stupid to do anything

[static finch]

mussolini is the perfect example of being incapable of holding up your own ideology

[night prism]

made us into an empire for a few years i guess

[night prism]

so true

[static finch]

"empire"

holding a title and a bunch of idiots with well paid jobs they didn't even do well

a joke i tell you

[night prism]

but like, mussolini barely even believed in fascism

[static finch]

only good thing we were used for in the nazi's eyes was giving them our jews

[night prism]

he mostly used that to gain popular support

[static finch]

well he still fucked up

and kepy fucking up

[night prism]

he was really just an opportunist

[dusty river]

I'mma be back in a sec, gonna check my tumblr, when I'm bacc, remind me to continue work on gaster lol

[static finch]

he could've burned vatican city BUT NOOOO

[static finch]

ya

[static finch]

an idiot who got lucky

like ponzi

[night prism]

a socialist when socialism was cool, a fascit when fascism was cool

hitler was actually just insane

[static finch]

and a hanging victim when suicide was cool

[night prism]

so true lol

[static finch]

i love ingesting copious amounts of drugs daily

and thinking i'm still sane

[night prism]

indeed

[static finch]

then at the height of my own genius drug my soldiers to shit too cause why not

[night prism]

it's funny to think that the most vile people ever were mostly morons

[static finch]

"I AM NOT A MORON"

[night prism]

and they still are lol

just look at the US

[static finch]

comrade trump

[night prism]

there's like, one smart person in the whole administration

[static finch]

dismantling capitalism before the insurrectionists were even there

[night prism]

not even a joke

[night prism]

true accelerationist dream

[static finch]

well as long as valve keeps ticking and nobody in the general population dies

i don't care what happens to the USA

i'd love another luigi tho

[night prism]

to late

people already dying

[static finch]

i mean anymore

ugh

[night prism]

i figured

[static finch]

technically people die every second

death is our only certainty

[night prism]

mister deny defend depose

[static finch]

:3

[night prism]

we need more based italian murderers

[static finch]

i love killing oligarchs

[static finch]

count me in

[night prism]

this unironically

[static finch]

i am not ironic

[night prism]

homicide is so cool

[static finch]

i would

[night prism]

i know

[static finch]

boykisserkill

yes i do have a cat-adjacent creature sticker for everything

[night prism]

like, on a purely utilitarian prespective

[static finch]

less idiots hoarding stuff less people die for their hoarding

obviously

[night prism]

killing an oligarch saves more lives than the ones lost

[static finch]

one*

lost

like it was a life worth living for anyone but themselves

[night prism]

i know what i said

[static finch]

well why ones

then

[night prism]

you can kill multiple oligarchs

the best kind

[static finch]

oooh

right

[night prism]

the best kind of murder is the mass kind

[static finch]

if only the gunpowder plot happened

[night prism]

if they are oligarch

[static finch]

the oligarch mass murder is the best

arson is even more fun

you get lunch out of it too

maybe a little burnt but knives exist for a reason

[night prism]

Unrelated by I'm genuinely positive about this mod

I see this becoming quite fun

That's why I'm still here

There are a lot of cool concepts with a lot of potential

[static finch]

(mostly mine) i know right

why would i be here being autistic about this otherwise

[night prism]

You did some good stuff too

I really like planars

[static finch]

i am joking obv

[night prism]

A cool way of adding references without them feeling forced

[static finch]

well making themed series was taken from our worst enemy

[night prism]

This mod will be the universes beyond of balatro

And I'm here for it

[night prism]

But we are doing it better

[static finch]

I know

[static finch]

anything but balatro here

[night prism]

True

[static finch]

also stinky balls man should be primordial

I still think that

[night prism]

I need to remember some games I like

[static finch]

balatro

[night prism]

To add planars from it

[night prism]

Balatro x balatro when?

[static finch]

it's a texture pack

[night prism]

rn I only have hk

I fon't play almost any of the games featured here

[static finch]

go play vs

go play vs

[night prism]

I played undertale, noita, hk obv

[night prism]

I will

[night prism]

This is kinda it tbh

[static finch]

I didn't really dig in noia too much

simply cause massive skill issue

[night prism]

It's an interesting game

A bit frustrating a times

[static finch]

knowledge is power

[night prism]

To many games like that

[static finch]

but laziness defeats all

[night prism]

I can't enjoy rain world because of this

To damn hard and frustrating

But it's a great game

The music is peak

[static finch]

I am going to screenshot and send this to my boyfriend

expect a pipe bomb

[night prism]

Why?

[static finch]

cause he absolutely adores rain world

[night prism]

I do too

I'm just bad

[static finch]

imagine if I was even worse

[night prism]

I really am not the type that likes stressful or frustrating games

[static finch]

don't play etg then

just don't

the learning curve is a MOUNTAIN

[night prism]

Also why I disliked factorio

[night prism]

I did and I dropped it

[static finch]

ah yes the "30 euros to not see shit" game

mindustry good

[night prism]

This is also an issue with roguelikes in general for me

Like

I can play dark souls, if I die to a boss I just try again

Until I'm good

[static finch]

noita Is notoriously hard though

[night prism]

In a foguelike I'm just dead

[night prism]

In a bit of a different way though

[static finch]

ay i'd recommend revita personally

[night prism]

It's just so insane

[static finch]

look my positional and spatial awareness already suck

I don't need a game to hammer it in more

[night prism]

And noita is gatekeept mostly by knowledge

Not skill

So I don't find it has frustrating

[static finch]

imagine having a bad memory

wiki browsing sim

[night prism]

Yes, I like terraria too

[static finch]

no I remember terraria stuff

and I use recipe browser so I don't even need to

[night prism]

I do to

[static finch]

(like, who doesn't)

[night prism]

After 300 fucking hours

But the first time

Or when playing a new mod

[static finch]

weed cat joker.

[night prism]

The wiki is always there

[static finch]

heh

[night prism]

Real

[static finch]

"pokemon is too furry nowadays"

they say

and I answer, joke's on you

[night prism]

Who the ell says that lol?

Are there any Pokémon fans that are not furries lol

How can you not be

[static finch]

well

there are

[night prism]

Also, it was always furry

[static finch]

apparently

[static finch]

I know

that's the point

but some people complain about meowscarada, and incineroar, and cinderace

and delphox but nobody gives a shit about it

[night prism]

I can excuse vaporeon but I draw the line at [wathever the new pokemons are]

[static finch]

never figured out the Vaporeon sex appeal (what a phrase)

[night prism]

I mean

I have no idea what the new Pokémons are

[static finch]

them Pokemons

[night prism]

No way I'm following that shit

[static finch]

me neither as I refuse to play anything after Alola

[night prism]

There are like 1000 of them

[static finch]

ironically s/v work better on steam deck than switch

not by much but still

[night prism]

I mean, everything works better on steam deck than switch

But sure

It's ironic indeed

[static finch]

eh arguable

ww get it together kinda bugs out sometimes

wonder was a fuckin PLEASURE tho

[night prism]

Disco elisyum planars next

Adding communism and drugs to the mod

And depression, don't forget depression

Omg jen is already back

Not even 24 hours lol

Or was it, wait?

It was a bit more than 24 hours

Still, lol

[static finch]

bruh

[night prism]

bruh indeed

[static finch]

#1351085187081048195 message "trust me guys, this was definitely not attention seeking but a second wind. I feel born anew, as if I just caused useless drama for no reason!"

I need an attention seeker joker concept

and I must make it

but that shall be for tomorrow

[night prism]

This is the most obvious attention bait ever

It's honesly surpring how obvious it is

[static finch]

indeed but hey, the inner circle of oligarchs is gonna make their little propaganda

and people will believe it

[night prism]

What would it do?

[static finch]

hmm

[night prism]

It ganins mut any time you click on it

[static finch]

my idea was, list of conditions from which it randomly selects one every round

and if you don't fulfill it it just kills itself

if you do fulfill it it creates random consumables or gives money

common obv

[night prism]

This is not really attention seeking though

[static finch]

is it

well making it annoy you everything you do would count

until you satisfy it

that would be funny

[night prism]

This is more like patronizing joker

From buffoonery

[static finch]

no? patronizing joker is inherently annoying

I played with it

but it's not like that

[night prism]

Peak joker concept

[night prism]

Effect wise it's not

[static finch]

I mean select a card, it stops you to say something, play a hand, it keeps annoying you

that kinda thing

so it stops the game constantly

to blabber

[night prism]

The concept kinda similar

They want u to do something

[static finch]

go check again, I don't think it works like that anymore

[night prism]

I know how the joker works

I'm not talking about the effect

[static finch]

so what

[night prism]

But about the theme

[static finch]

oooh

[night prism]

The concept

The flavor if u will

[static finch]

well I can't say that I can change the inspiration

after all it's their mistakes that make it funny

but being patronizing and attention seeking is different if equally annoying

[night prism]

Buffoonery has peak shitpost jokers btw

[night prism]

Definitely very different

[static finch]

I know I know

I just despise ceramic cards as a flushpill enjoyer

[night prism]

They are kinda cool

The game mostly rewards you for playing big hands

[static finch]

yes so playing small hands good

what an ingenious subversion

[night prism]

Either that or high card with steel kings

[static finch]

hah

[night prism]

Indeed

A cool balance imo

[static finch]

jokes aside, buffoonery aside, tomfoolery aside, jests aside

[night prism]

Because the more ceramic cards played the better it is

[static finch]

you think the attention seeking joker would work or not

[night prism]

But you can only play 3

[static finch]

also I gotta make gaussian draw the most generic furry oc possible

to slap on that crap

not even make it temporary, just a testament for asset ripping

[night prism]

It would, but i don't think the effect really represents attention seeking wery well

I think we can make it better

[static finch]

how then

[night prism]

Idk

I'm thinking

[night prism]

My attempt was shit

So gaussian shall be the one

[static finch]

well I should get eeping

[night prism]

He's good at furries anyway

[static finch]

I'm an eepy member of constitutional nobility

[static finch]

lil degen

(respect)

[night prism]

I love degens

[static finch]

so you love me :3

[night prism]

I do <3

[static finch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1180264986916962405.gif?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[night prism]

I guess i'll draw him

[static finch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1354360098738143413.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

also give him thigh highs

[night prism]

You trans indeed

[static finch]

(I know they don't fit in the frame)

(just imagine them there)

[night prism]

lol, i'm not that gay

[static finch]

I am

[night prism]

I'm actually not gay at all

[static finch]

DO IT

[static finch]

11%

[night prism]

But it's kinda fun to pretend to be

[static finch]

...sure

you want the Arma Dio now or later

[night prism]

lol

Anyway

I shall draw boykisser tonorrow

After getting a bit of sleep hopefully

[static finch]

go sleep

yes

[night prism]

God, how did i end like this?

[static finch]

you chose it

by your own free will

without prompting

[night prism]

I did but like

[static finch]

or suggestions

and yet you deny yourself

gay fuck

[night prism]

Why did i?

[static finch]

weed Niko does not know

[night prism]

I guess i just like cat-dog thingies

[static finch]

and degens

and gay people

and autistic people

[night prism]

When did i say that?

[static finch]

and furries

[night prism]

And that

[night prism]

And that

[static finch]

before when you said you like all of us gay autistic furries

I can't be bothered to get the message

tbh

[night prism]

Anyway, i'm going to sleep wery heterosexually

Hope you get a very homosexual sleep

[static finch]

if I did I wouldn't sleep at all

[night prism]

I said homosexual sleep

I guess you can remove the sexual part

Just homosleep

[static finch]

yeah i'd be up thinking of boys

[static finch]

same thing

[night prism]

Real

Good for u

[static finch]

not really I need eep

[night prism]

We all do

[static finch]

eh, depends if you're terminally online enough

anyway, gn for real

[night prism]

Gn

[dusty river]

my gf would kill me if she knew I just took a nap till fucking 10:30pm 😔

I miss her so much

why... why can't I select pull

[dusty river]

guys... @static finch @night prism @magic sand
did I cook here?

[magic sand]

Holy fucking peak

You cooked

[dusty river]

thank you, I think this is my favorite joker sprite I have ever made

[static finch]

yes.

[static finch]

i mean my bf knows i keep getting a consistent 5 hours of sleep

[dusty river]

btw, I just updated a bunch of the jokers in the sheet that u had problems with
tho, u probs shouldn't check em now as ur trying to go to bed if I recall, lol (or maybe u already woke up? can't tell how tf timezones are lmao)

most of them I actually changed by nerfing their power and lowering their rarity, rather than make them stronger
gives us more commons and I feel the effects fit their characters more

also, btw, I don't think sans was working correctly, I experienced a crash that I fixed rq but the tags still aren't being given, I'll try and test more when I wake up tommorow

[static finch]

i am literally in school

[dusty river]

lmaoo

[static finch]

hm, makes sense

not every char is op as shit

(ironic considering i put menya moonspell in as a common when in the actual game she literally solos everything)

[static finch]

it's weird cause it worked fine for me

[dusty river]

also, I gave Susie a somewhat similar effect to Falin, which I think might satisfy ur want there
it is different, but at the same time, it's not like all the gemstone jokers are all the same, so I think it's fine them being a bit different

[static finch]

hm

makes sense lemme look

[dusty river]

tho, susie doesn't have an unbound yet, which might be an issue there, as that seems more of a difference

(not sure what I'd make for an unbound for her tbh lmao)

anyways, think I'mma head to bed now, good luck w school, if u got any more problems, just leave em in comments, I'll try and deal w em at some point, lol

[static finch]

erm akshually

that's a reference to the actual game

tho

cause the moment you figure out how to get more than 6 weapons the game implodes

tho i get your point

[night prism]

i'll finish the paint shaders so we can implement the remaining ones

[static finch]

catdance

[night prism]

cyan just looks like light blue rn

and brown is just gray

[static finch]

nikopogzoomed

[night prism]

ok, it seems that rubber literally only works with ankh an hex

[static finch]

weirddd

[night prism]

ok, i'm reworking rubber

[night prism]

though, do you know any mod with effects that trigger on destruction?

[static finch]

to be fair, no

[night prism]

other than cryptid which is broken

[static finch]

well not effects like stickers

[night prism]

fixed rubber

[static finch]

huh

how

[night prism]

instead of calculating it on the tweak, i made it so that the function that destroys the joker checks if it has rubber, and if it does it makes a copy

[static finch]

ooh smart

[night prism]

i know

[static finch]

I am not

[night prism]

reportedly 128 IQ

[night prism]

just out of curiosity, when u can, send me a screenshot of you collection tab with your modpack

i'm curious how much shit is there

[static finch]

it's analytical ability not actually thinking in theory

regardless, me stupid :3

[night prism]

real

[night prism]

only 22 consumable types

i've seen more

[static finch]

i know i took out the bloat

[night prism]

reasonable

172 decks is crazy

[static finch]

i like deck

[night prism]

without galdur that would be hell

[night prism]

like, 20% of those is probably just revo's

[static finch]

ikr

[static finch]

maybe :3

still the mf didn't make them like cryptid

[night prism]

galdur should be a requirement on revo's vault

[night prism]

indeed

he's just lazy

[static finch]

real

[night prism]

on cryptid too

just for the stakes

like

what the hell

i'm also gonna try to fix this

[static finch]

holy

[static finch]

HOLY

[night prism]

i can't even see opticus lol

[static finch]

ironic

[night prism]

they are just lost

[static finch]

inopticus

[night prism]

opticus clearly goes by they/it

they are a transcendent entity

[static finch]

real me

[night prism]

the maximus one will never not make me laugh, like, it's just a dude

[static finch]

but if it's supposed to be a self-insert this is closet behavior

[static finch]

he's james

[night prism]

it's not

[static finch]

boykissereyebrow

sure sure

[night prism]

when we adding peppe brescia joker?

[static finch]

no idea but why

[night prism]

dunno

it sound funny

[static finch]

if you wanna do it be my guest

i don't know what it should do

[night prism]

nah

i have no idea

[static finch]

death~1

[night prism]

me fr

[static finch]

no peppe then

[static finch]

no defined gender? closet

[night prism]

when we adding luigi joker?

it just kills you if you have more than 200 dollars

[static finch]

real

gives more chips the less money you have

[night prism]

that's just poverty joker

how did i not do this earlier for frisk?

[static finch]

?

[static finch]

not communism

[night prism]

the undertale logo has an heart inside the R

[static finch]

huh

never saw that

[night prism]

i guess i'll make some more art

[static finch]

Clueless~1

[night prism]

this does not look too good

trying to get pixelated papyrus

[static finch]

yeah

[night prism]

tbf papyrus is meant to look like shit

but this is still bad

[night prism]

just realized, the text is not in comic sans lol

the art is great though

[dusty river]

i couldn't get comic sans to fit in the box lol

[night prism]

i know

but you should remove the serifs

the whole point of a sans font is that it does not have serifs

[dusty river]

serifs?

[night prism]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif for reference

[night prism]

the i is the only letter with them in your art tbf

so just change that one

also, i don't get the reasoning for the sans effect

why skipping blinds?

this is not a criticism, just a genuine question

[dusty river]

sorry, just woke up so thinking iz taking longer than normsl, lol

he lazy and he move really fast when need to, that why, i think sfdg

[night prism]

makes sense

[night prism]

What do you think about this?

the unbound seems pretty strong to me

it starts at x5 mult this way

i may make it every $4 you have

[night prism]

also, minor spelling mistake

[static finch]

something something space dude

[night prism]

Real

But that's primordial

[static finch]

maybe but it seems tailor made for this

to me

[night prism]

All the naimasters from hollow knight will have retrigger effects

So they all synergize

[static finch]

huh

interesting

red seal moment

[night prism]

Sheo will retrigger painted cards

Obviously

And i'm not sure about horo and mato

Prolly something to do with pairs

[night prism]

The best seal

[static finch]

I like blue seal more ngl

[night prism]

Both are cool

Anyway, i need to come up with something for radiance

[static finch]

radiant edition

[night prism]

Infected edition

Since she is the source of the infection

Not sure about making an edition just for hk though

[static finch]

yeah but I want THE SUUUN

[static finch]

i mean it fits

and it doesn't have to be tied to it specifically

[night prism]

Orange paint also kinda fits

But i prefer an edition

Or an enhancement

We have no enhancements yet

[static finch]

huh

makes sense

[night prism]

So i can make the sprite rather than using a shader

[static finch]

though wasn't almost nobody given plot armor from it

[night prism]

It fits more

[night prism]

No plot armor at all

The only one immune is the main character

Because they are empty

No soul at all

[static finch]

yeah I said almost

[static finch]

you know who wasn't?

[night prism]

The hollow knight, ironically

[static finch]

no your dad last night

[night prism]

I saw that coming from a mile away

[static finch]

JUST LIKE YOUR DAD

wasn't bringing you milk tho

[night prism]

Anyway, the infection could spread among the cards

Though i'm not sure what it will do

[dusty river]

we have 3 actually

[static finch]

where

[night prism]

Where?

[dusty river]

or 4

alpha, omega
and the 2 darkanas

tho

[night prism]

O right

[static finch]

those are technically not playable with normal hands though

so do they count

[night prism]

Yes they do

[static finch]

stone cards are an enhancement but it's the odd one out isn't it

[dusty river]

alpha and omega can be used for normal hands

[static finch]

should they?

[dusty river]

they're backwards from stone cards

they count as their own suit and their own rank

[night prism]

Also you added two of them lol @static finch

And you forgot

[static finch]

...I made all 4

[dusty river]

no?

[static finch]

but I wasn't really counting them all

[static finch]

whose idea were alpha and omega

[night prism]

I mean the darkana ones

[static finch]

they are literally non-playable

[dusty river]

urs, but it was my idea to have them be enhancements tbf

[static finch]

like iridiums from inverted tarots

[night prism]

Irrelevant

[static finch]

you said to make them act like stoke cards, did you change your mind and not even tell me

or write it down somewhere

[night prism]

Still enhancements

[static finch]

eh I guess?

[dusty river]

i DID tell u

[static finch]

you didn't delve into the specifics

did you

[dusty river]

we discussed this lmao

[static finch]

well so they should literally just be an enhancement that does nothing on it's own but works with other stuff?

[dusty river]

what

[static finch]

alpha and omega

[dusty river]

look at the sheet lmao

primordials page

[static finch]

I can't rn

[dusty river]

one sec, I'll send it

[dusty river]

so, 2 alphas and 3 omegas would be a flush house

[static finch]

huh

well anyway

[dusty river]

numbers might need some work

[static finch]

alright

my bad

[static finch]

like, wdym

[night prism]

sorry i don't get it

[dusty river]

the ^2 chips is way more powerful than ^2 mult, as we discussed, which means, dispite having the same rarity and all, one's just, better than the other

[night prism]

do alpha and omega have one rank each?

[dusty river]

yes, they can't be played in straights but can be played in pairs, 3oaks, 5flushes etc

[night prism]

depends on a few things, but in general this is true

[night prism]

a bit odd but i guess it makes sense

you can't make a flush with them either then

only flush house or flush five

[dusty river]

unless u have 4 fingers

[night prism]

i guess yeah

[static finch]

i'll cut one off

[night prism]

we haven't coded those yet

it should be easy enough

[dusty river]

also, no 5oak
as they're the same suit and nothing shares they're rank that doesn't also share the same suit

[night prism]

true

also no full house

[static finch]

doesn't flush five count as 5oak anyway

[dusty river]

u can, as long as u only use half

so 3 alphas and 2 fives would be a full house

[night prism]

o yeah

didn't consider that

[static finch]

it's genius

[night prism]

anyway, this may be a bit complicated to explain to the players maybe?

dunno

the sprite will play a huge part imo

[dusty river]

is it not well articulated here?

[night prism]

it's well articulated but players are dumb

[static finch]

yes i am

[dusty river]

fair lol

[night prism]

i think making so they are the same color but have a different symbol should make it clear

[static finch]

well

purple

[night prism]

same color = same suit

[static finch]

obv

alpha is usually red and omega is usually blue

[dusty river]

I was thinking a deep red

deep red with a almost galaxy esq pattern

[night prism]

imma make the asap

[static finch]

why

[night prism]

it should be easy

[static finch]

it only fits alpha

[static finch]

swirly galaxy purple

[night prism]

i like this too

[dusty river]

why not lol, also where'd u get the red alpha and blue omega thing lmao

[night prism]

yeah i never heard of that

[dusty river]

I just think it'd look nicer and have a more dark eldritch feel

[static finch]

i did

but i forgot where

[static finch]

okay but it's red, what's eldritch about it

[dusty river]

why is the logo dark red and black then?

and not purple?

it's the brand at this point lmao

[night prism]

i think the logo colors whould be fire

[dusty river]

talking bout the awesome colors that YOU picked for the mod badge btw

they were good choices, and I like em

[night prism]

i do too

[dusty river]

I honestly thought of swapping the colors of unbound and primordial to match them

[static finch]

makes sense

[night prism]

i used the same red for the ultrakill and vs badge

[dusty river]

primordial gets the red
unbound gets the black

[static finch]

blood and cult robes, but you know, ancient greek symbols don't give that vibe to me

[dusty river]

idc, tbh

like I said

it's the mod's brand at this point lmao

red and black are the colors of the primordial for this mod

at least, that's how I feel

makes me think of a deep dark abyss filled with the blood of ancient gods

[static finch]

wasn't ichor more golden

[dusty river]

isn't zagreuses blood red

there's so many interpretations of "color of god's blood" lol

[static finch]

okay but isn't he half god

[dusty river]

the anime overlord has a whole bit talking about the color of their god's blood being red actually

[static finch]

anyway,

[dusty river]

something about how blue health potions are weak and unfinished and that it was always theorized that "true health potions were red, like the color of gods blood"

[static finch]

when i think of blue potion i think of the stupid mages from terraria

god i hate mana

[night prism]

a lil weird that alpha is just the letter A

but what can we do

[dusty river]

hold on one sec here

cuz, if I remember, it's not just A, it's like, a different A, a specific stylization

to the point where

[static finch]

omega is cooler

[dusty river]

you could ask someone if a letter was an A or an alpha

[static finch]

yeah but that's lowercase

[dusty river]

use the lowercase one here

I think

[night prism]

but lowercase omega is ugly

[dusty river]

then just use lowercase alpha and uppercase omega?

[night prism]

a bit inconsistent, don't you think?

[static finch]

that was my idea

[dusty river]

idc lmao
better for it to look nice and to make more sense to the player

[night prism]

i'm very consistency pilled

[night prism]

i can agree with this reasoning

i'll do it like this

[static finch]

yes

[night prism]

still wip

[dusty river]

ooooo
thas really good for wip

how'd u learn ur pixel art skills?
the alpha and pattern for the background are really well made in a way I don't think I could replicate

[night prism]

the background is actually super easy

there's just a tool in aseprite for that

[dusty river]

oh? I have aseprite and I never noticed it lol

[night prism]

the gradient tool

you have options for dithering

[dusty river]

oooo
nice

[night prism]

do you like the thicker outline?

[dusty river]

OOOO yeag

that's nice

not sure if y'all saw, what do you think of this?
now it's almost like, on the surface, a sock and buskin with a cost but common instead of uncommon

[night prism]

interesting

pretty strong but i think it's fine

[static finch]

omg

it's art

[dusty river]

factual

(this is really good hehe, I just thought that'd be funny)

[static finch]

GigaChad

[night prism]

we need to add all the new art in game

the flags

frisk

snas

and maybe pixelated versions of the gaussian ones lol

[dusty river]

I could try to downscale some of them

rq

[night prism]

also this

[dusty river]

ooo, nice

asdad how tf do I copy a pic from the sheets

[night prism]

i need to come up with something for Brothers Oro and Mato

[night prism]

not sure if you can

[dusty river]

3:

guess it's time to scroll lmao

[night prism]

"jimbo" from jen's ass design lol

pretty funny ngl

[dusty river]

I thought it was clever lol
the numbers chosen being the number of cards in poker deck, then the height and width of a joker sprite

[night prism]

well, the actual sprite is 69x93

with an empty pixel for border

[night prism]

this would be cool if the operation increased every time imo

like +52 then X71 then ^95

[dusty river]

mmmm

(more jimbofication lmao)

still, cool

it also is probs a needed debuff tbh

[night prism]

this is a pretty substantial debuff

though it's still insanely strong

nothing compared to tree(3) though

[dusty river]

yeah, lmao

I love how tree(3) is our strongest joker rn lmao

patience is key

[night prism]

the tree needs time to grow

[dusty river]

yeag hehe

btw, I CANNOT find the filth art in here lmao

I have no searching skill :<

[night prism]

wait

i think i remember how i answered to that message

@dusty river

[dusty river]

ahhh, thanku, that's a lot of them

[night prism]

btw you can search for messages by gaussian specifically

that way it should be easy

[dusty river]

oh right, lol
I knew about searching by profile but forgor i could do it for people that weren't myself lol

[dusty river]

I got the font and everything lol

[night prism]

aren't omega cards just stronger than alpha most of the time?

[dusty river]

I was saying that earlier lol, that's what I meant when I said the numbers needed work

[night prism]

also i don't like the way you obtain them

it's mostly luck of finding the rare card

which is fine

but they are so strong

this just makes so that when u get one of the 2 everything else becomes weaker because of how strong these are

[dusty river]

mhh, yeag
any ideas for new obtaining methods?

[night prism]

like, i feel effects this op should have a different requirement than just being rare

you could be lucky and find them early on aand they just carry the run

[night prism]

not sure honestly

i'm coding them rn

the enhancement i mean

[dusty river]

changed the text to look more like the logo

wait a sec, isn't there some kind of spritesheet thing you can do in aseprite?
where you can put a grid and it'll tell you where each part of the image should be cut off?

that might help here

[night prism]

i could make it so that strength turns alpha into omega and vice versa

[night prism]

you can add a grid

[dusty river]

OOOO, yeah, that's cool

[dusty river]

thanku, I found it now, this is gonna help a ton

alright, filth and sans art are in the sprite sheet now, now I just need to add... the rest, lmao

[night prism]

actually that's not as easy to do as expected

or maybe it is

actually i'm dumb

[dusty river]

what happens if a sprite has bits drawn on the 1 pixel blank border? just wanna know for possible future purposes, like, if it fucks up the sprite, or it just looks off, or what

does it get cut off?

[night prism]

it does not

lucky cards and brainstorm use it actually

[dusty river]

oh, interesting

was thinking maybe making gasters sprite cut into the border a bit, as I think it'd be fitting if his sprite didn't look 100% right, but if it looks too weird in-game I might just cut that idea lol

[night prism]

it should be impossible to change the enhancement of alpha and omega cards i assume

[dusty river]

that makes sense, yeah

unless it's to the other that is

[night prism]

yeah

[dusty river]

or another "Primordial Enhancement" if more like them end up existing

papyrus is in the sheet now too, tho, without the joker text

wait, wasn't someone making joker text for papyrus a bit ago?

[night prism]

me

but it sucked

i'll try again later

[dusty river]

okey, I'll keep papyrus as is for now then

what's next after papyrus?

[night prism]

wdym

[dusty river]

I'm trying to remember what we have art for lol
I think I'mma put pride flag in, but I can't remember who sent it in lol

[dusty river]

thanku!
also, missingnumber cooked here

[night prism]

definitely

[dusty river]

here's what I have so far

[night prism]

put the jokers in a different atlas from the augments

[dusty river]

gaster had an issue sadly, I can't simply reduce the size of the sprite, as the windings in the background became extremely warped and unnoticable when shrunk :<

[dusty river]

okey 👍

[night prism]

i pointed that out to gaussian already

[dusty river]

ahh

augments and jokers

(they both look invisible, lmao)

I'mma change the sprite positions in code then do a commit

[night prism]

alpha and omega almost work

there's a crash caused by something but otherwise they are great

[dusty river]

😭

I thought I did it lol

[night prism]

unintended behavior, but because of the strength compat now playing 4 alphas and 1 omega is considered a straight flush lol

[dusty river]

that's hilarous, lmao

[dusty river]

did I mess something up here?

or was this a mispell in a joker's code that caused this?

[night prism]

i got a similar issue when adding the augments

[night prism]

also why is print(G.C.CRY_EXOTIC) there lol

[dusty river]

idk, was there beforehand lol

[night prism]

it's my fault

remove it

[dusty river]

okey

[dusty river]

what's going on, tho, u think?

[night prism]

i got the same issue

i forgot how i fixed it

[dusty river]

ok, wild shot here, cuz I noticed something in the augment page here-

[night prism]

essentially it's searching for anva_joke rather than joke

[dusty river]

do atlases need a default value?

[dusty river]

oh

[night prism]

no idea why

[dusty river]

huh

[dusty river]

could we just swap the atlas's name then for now, you think?

or something?

idk how this'd get fixed lmaoo

[night prism]

probably not a good idea

wait a sec

let me read the log

try adding the prefix to both the atlas and the card

both when creating the atlass and when loading it

though i think this will not work

[dusty river]

so, add it to "anva_" to all jokers and augments, as well as the "SMODS.Atlas", and not the actual atlas?
did I understand correctly here?

[night prism]

no no

add it to the atlas

and the altas field iside the jokers

but don't do it actually

wait

i just committed alpha and omega

you know what? commit for now

imma take a look myself

@dusty river

[dusty river]

it is done

[night prism]

@dusty river you forgot to change the atlas on the tweaks

[dusty river]

ooooooh

lmao

sowwy

I forgor lol

[night prism]

i'll fix it

don't worry

[dusty river]

thanku

oh wait, shit
I think u missed it
but for some reason it aint letting me pull anymore

I've been getting the new commits by syncing

they're all greyed out

[night prism]

this is fine

same thing

as long as the first arrow is not greyed out

you are fine

[dusty river]

ok, tho, I am confused as to why this is happening lol
