#[v1.0 out now!] Stone-verhaul - vanilla+ mod about Stone cards and Chips

design thoughts here are oriented around positioning Stone cards as halfway between an enhancement and a 5th suit. the mod has (yet another implementation of) a 5-Stone-cards hand and a corresponding planet card, 12 new jokers, and a new spectral card. download here

A collection of Balatro content designed to make Stone cards more enticing. - MetaNite64/Stone-verhaul

PROGRESS:

  • code is nearly complete. poker hand, planet card, and the new jokers are implemented. jokers need more testing and some minor edits (e.g. make Popping Candy incompatible with Eternal), in particular blueprint/brainstorm interactions still need testing. spectral card and edits to vanilla content have not been made yet
  • art has not been started. it's also nearly finals season so this may continue to be the case for a few weeks at least
  • i've done a lot of balance theory talk with friends, but i still need to run some actual games with all the new content to see how things hold up in practice
#

NOTES:
yes this is like the 3rd 5-Stone-cards poker hand mod. Bulwark is obviously balanced for a Cryptid environment, which i don't want, and Stone Ocean from Handsome Devils is a bit weird for my tastes (not bad by any means)

I like this idea

#

thanks! it's been a concept of mine for a little while, Stone has always felt a tad overlooked to me

#

the weed joke is entirely necessary trust me egg

#

another joker concept, on the fence about it
"Rock That Looks Like A Face Rock": all face cards are enhanced to Stone when scored. all Stone cards count as face cards

make sure to add a 🗿 card :D

#

iirc the Moyai stone heads are on the easter islands so the joker could act kinda like an egg joker enhancer or smth

#

"Increase Egg Joker sell value gain by $2 after Boss Blind is defeated"

#

so that would let the egg joker gain more money per round the longer it stays in the joker slot

#

or alternatively "Add $1 sell value per stone card after defeating Boss Blind" for the Moyai joker itself

#

as a competitor to the egg joker

i do appreciate the easter egg connection, perhaps i'll do something like "earn $1 per Stone card played in first hand of round"

#

what about "Fock"?

#

to simplify Face Rock

#

or if you wanna make it look like Dwayne Johnson you could call it "The Rock" and add his iconic raised eybrow face as the card texture

green kettle
#

the name is very specifically a gravity falls reference (hence the image above), but i do have a backup idea i think: the Rock Facts Rock from Over the Garden Wall

#

or i might just outright make this the 🗿 joker

green kettle
#

yea that option is sounding more and more appealing the more i think about it

green kettle
#

another idea
Sisyphus's Boulder: gains +50 Chips per Stone card played. Has a (Accrued Chips) in 1000 chance to reset at the end of the round.

initially it was gonna be +Chips per hands played, but that overlaps too much with ortalab's Joker Miles Card

I would love some of these in vanilla balatro, we really need more stone card jokers

green kettle
#

ye i'm really happy with how the mod is turning out so far
just need to uh
do the art BigFake

hopefully the basic hand-based jokers are visually distinct enough from Cryptid's (not because they'll be seen alongside Cryptid's, just for the sake of making it clear that i'm not stealing art)
The Mountain is certainly clear that it's different (plus, it looks like a stone card in the background a bit), but the Stalwart/Deadpan Jokers should be different enough too

raven sparrow
#

no way i do the same with shaders

green kettle
#

sometimes it works really well (prehistoric football, gonggong, sisyphus maybe??) and sometimes it's just fine (gravestone, whiskey on the rocks)

#

I just finished playing your mod, for the first time. It had no crash, or any other troubles. Everything seem to fit together very well too! And the new addition really boosted the Stone cards

#

@raven sparrow I was playing Tau Joker mod earlier too

Me like rock when it rocks

unborn trench
#

well well seems got issue with cryptid

green kettle
#

ya that's intended for the time being, because I haven't coded any way to handle the conflict between Detritus and Bulwark yet

#

I do plan to fix that eventually, I'm just not quite sure how to handle it yet
