I have an idea for a stake specific sticker. Pre-Order, the joker is debuffed for 3 rounds after buying, and is cheaper.

Concept art: #1403113037765935305 message

An icon I had in mind was a cardboard box, and @timber lily created the above concept.

I’m quite happy with just the idea. What does everyone think?

#

New sticker: Pre-Order?

timber lily
#

This is kinda funny, basically a reverse perishable

Honestly I think it would be a different playstyle, perishable jokers you buy for short term while you think of a plan, pre order jokers would be cheaper but you still have to think of a short term plan

Ohh had no clue I’ve never done this before lol

#

Just thought of it and really liked the idea

timber lily
#

I feel like it would be neat, but there's other people that probably have better judgment on this kind of thing

scenic juniper
#

Yea well I guess we’ll see!

#

I have had more ideas for the game, but most of them are pretty basic and probably already said like uncapping score etc but I feel this fits more hence why I posted

scenic juniper
#

Yea, I know exactly why it happens but correct

lucid thistle
#

cant

scenic juniper
#

Anyway I said this fits more

#

Hence why I posted

timber lily
#

Here's some ideas for how it could look (one is the cardboard box you suggested and the other is a different design I tried)

#

I originally couldn't get the box to work, so I made the second one, but then I tried it again a bit differently and managed to fit it into the circle

#

I think I like the box more, but I figured I'd post my original version too

lucid thistle
#

im ngl

worldly iris
#

would scaling jokers scale while debuffed from this

#

(or would stuff like popcorn deteriorate)

lucid thistle
#

im just pleasantly surprised to see a new suggester with a humble idea thats actually decent

worldly iris
#

alright this is cool then

#

☝️ and ✨

#

I think they don’t scale

#

debuffed cards don’t have effects except for other cards recognising them

#

pretty sure that’s how it works

scenic juniper
#

hmm maybe change the colour of the box to something inbetween the outline colour and the background colour, and make the tape white

timber lily
scenic juniper
#

ahh that’s fair

#

well I liked the original box I just think the colour placement was off

#

like the sides being shaded in but the top not looked like not an “order” box

#

but hey, it’s prob gonna be difficult to get it perfect, I’m just here to spread my suggestion for the mechanic

timber lily
#

The idea was to make it look like an open box, but if you don't like that then maybe I can do something else

scenic juniper
#

well yea an open box could be good, but I feel if it’s a “pre order” it should be closed

#

because you don’t get to use it

worldly iris
scenic juniper
#

yea that could be good honestly

timber lily
#

You want me to keep the top part or the bottom part?

scenic juniper
#

prob means top

worldly iris
#

yeah top

timber lily
#

So like this then?

scenic juniper
#

yea that’s pretty good

#

I would say the top left looks odd but that’s just greedy lmao

#

thank you

timber lily
#

Yeah, I would love to make it prettier, but 19x19 pixels is not a lot to work with

#

I can try to add the outline back

scenic juniper
#

I would just say, at the bottom you have pixel layout of 2, 2, 3, 2, 2 but then at the top you have 1, 1, 2?, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1

#

if you adjust that I’m pretty sure it would look nice

#

and then yea you would also have a 1 pixel gap at the top to put the outline there

timber lily
#

Tweaked it a little bit; also, while I'm at it, the stickers are supposed to have a 1px shadow under every white pixel with space underneath, does this still look fine with that outline? I think it's good but idk

scenic juniper
#

hmm, let me have a look at the other stickers 1 sec

scenic juniper
#

I would probably say make the tape roughly the same length but more even along the tape

#

as it’s a bit random looks off

timber lily
#

?

scenic juniper
#

like the tape on the sticker right now

#

is like squiggly

#

Make it like 2-3 thick whichever looks best

#

But roughly same length

timber lily
#

Doesn't really look squiggly to me but idk

scenic juniper
#

Wait

#

That full version with the tape down the side

#

Send that?

#

Without the reference

timber lily
#

Oh yeah I tried reintroducing the full tape strap

timber lily
scenic juniper
#

Yea @worldly iris which you prefer

worldly iris
#

the one i replied to

timber lily
#

I think the longer tape looks better personally

scenic juniper
#

Yea, I could include both in the post

#

(If you are fine with that)

timber lily
#

I can send versions with the sticker actually on the Joker first

scenic juniper
#

Oo sure, just do default

#

Joker

timber lily
scenic juniper
#

Aha now I really can’t decide

#

I think I’m gonna go with shorter tape

scenic juniper
#

Any thoughts anyone?

outer zinc
#

Good idea, I want to see this in a mod honestly

frail sky
#

Would this be compatible with perishable

outer zinc
#

Someone should suggest it to that one mod based on the suggestion forum

frail sky
#

#

It would be less confusing to start it from buying (so you’d essentially get two rounds of the joker) but more fun to start it from when it powers on

timber lily
outer zinc
#

I guess so

timber lily
#

Honestly I could see perishable and pre-order being incompatible

outer zinc
#

I think that'd be best

#

What about rental?

scenic juniper
#

i think rental would work yea

#

although could get expensive

#

paying 3 rounds for nothing

#

This has been suggested for that one mod based on the suggestions forums. Should this be its own stake above gold? Should it replace blue stake? Or should it be a different new stake but below gold? (Maybe a silver stake right below or something?)

#

Just as a gut feeling, this is probably too hard for blue stake, and deserves to be high. But I'm not sure about above or below gold.

frail sky
#

id say its easier than rental but i also think perishable is easier than eternal

half hound
#

So, if this is compatible with Eternal and Rental but not Perishable, we will need to figure out some place to put the image. Eternal and Perishable are mutually incompatible so they share a position on the card, while Rental always appears below, even if it is the only sticker. So because this is compatible with both Rental and Eternal it would need to either intelligently update its own position, which is something new I'd have to code in, which isn't bad just more work, or it would have to live on a third row on the left, which feels a little grody. Alternatively, if this is incompatible with rental I can schlep it on the second row.

half hound
#

Actually, might as well embrace the third row? Or first row second column? Because Eternal + Rental + Pre-Order is valid.

#

@scenic juniper third row or first row second column in your opinion?

scenic juniper
#

hm

#

i think yea Eternal + Rental + Pre-Order is fine

#

wait

#

does rental still charge you after a card has perished?

#

if so then yea pre order would be compatible with rental too

#

Perishable plus pre order. (IK Those stickers wouldnt stack but itd be funny)

half hound
#

I explicitly made sure they didn't stack, but I could make it work such that they could work together. 3 rounds debuffed before the 5 round countdown starts.

turbid hatch
#

@half hound there is a minor bug you should fix where riff raff makes preorder stickers on the jokers

half hound
#

Thanks!

turbid hatch
#

of course

#

just playing the mod and wanted to share the bug

half hound
turbid hatch
#

I seemly did

#

I didn't get to do more than 2 iterations though

edgy onyx
timber lily
half hound
#

hmmm... fair point.

#

I'll make a note to myself to come back and adjust this.

#

it might be a little tricky to manage though
