arctic tinsel
Posting this early on to force my brain to acknowledge this will be a thing I actively work on. I wanna learn how to mod this game properly with this project! It's an overhaul that aims to change Balatro visually to match the Windows 95 OS' overall aesthetic. I know that Toga has already done a lot of heavy work in similar stuff, but I wanna try to take my own crack at it, even if it wont involve as many heavy gameplay changes. Here's my current scope:
Change the colors of the menus to represent the menus of the OS, along with its limited color palette
Change most of the jokers (As many as I can manage) to be more Windows-themed
Change the audio to reflect the Windows OS
Things I'd optimistically like to do
Create jokers! I'm kinda in the concept phase rn and admittedly I am not the best at coding, but i'd like to come up with some
Decks! I have a few in concept rn, so I'll write what I wanna do
Sweeper deck:
Start with every face card being a sweeper card
Sweeper cards are based on minesweeper, in which the card has a chance to multiply mult by 1, 2, or 3 while additionally having a chance to destroy not only itself, but a card in the held hand as well.
If anyone has any concepts they think would be cool, i'd love to hear it!
