Balatro Z (On Hold) A Dragon Ball Mod

[patent oyster]

Balatro Z

-# A Balatro mod that goes even further beyond!

Contains a bunch of stuff from the Dragon Ball franchise, trying to focus on being relatively vanilla-friendly! (still balanced (hopefully))

Currently a WIP, mostly concepts. All is subject to change.

Planned:
~ 60 Jokers (for now)
~ 10 Boss Blinds
~ 5 Custom consumables
1 Custom Seal
Shenron mechanic (maybe)
Ki / Upgradeable Jokers mechanic (maybe)
Custom music

I am open to any ideas! If you are a Dragon Ball fan or just have a relatively vanilla-friendly Joker idea, don't hesitate to drop it in here!

Here are some of the joker arts i've done already. More to come :3

[patent oyster]

oh yeah heres the normal logo lol its small

[unreal anvil]

oh you know we better get some original reference to Dragon Ball and GT you have too

[patent oyster]

trust the process bro <3

we referencing z, super, og, gt, movies, and ABRIDGED

[unreal anvil]

Hell yes trust this process

[patent oyster]

guys

[unreal anvil]

ohoho

[patent oyster]

Balatro Z (WIP) A Dragon Ball Mod

figured that gets the point across better

[patent oyster]

this is what i meant when i said we're referencing abridged (i hope at least 1 person gets this)

[patent oyster]

btw this guy scales chips per lucky card whiff

since my boy yamcha is so unlucky

[patent oyster]

here are a few more i did yesterday

btw all of these jokers have functions planned

i dont wanna leak EVERYTHING

lets just say,,,, kami is relatively close to looking like hack,,,, hmmmmmm

(not rly)

[unreal anvil]

Dude I am so excited for this, and the art is amazing!!!

[patent oyster]

IM EXCITED TOO

[unreal anvil]

Bro this gonna rock

Let me just play Future Trunks Joker next to Jimbo

[zinc grotto]

peak

[patent oyster]

what should future trunks joker do? 🤔

and are we talking future trunks from z or future trunks from super

[unreal anvil]

Z the original, he should let look next card your going to draw or let you destroy a card, sense you know and time travel, one those abilities sound good

[patent oyster]

ooh interesting

ill consider that!

[unreal anvil]

Your welcome I am always up for helping

[patent oyster]

gulp

[unreal anvil]

Oh no!!!! He got destory planets in order to gain mult

[unreal anvil]

Tournament time

[patent oyster]

this is def the best looking one so far imo

i think im getting better with each one!!

[burnt wyvern]

Boo

[patent oyster]

Oh yeah, I wanna explain real fast what the custom seal is planned to do.

It's going to be obtained via Spectral card (or in standard packs obv). its called:

Dragon Seal
It triggers the card's enhancement and edition twice while held in hand. For example, Polychrome will act like steel twice, and lucky cards have 2 chances to hit while in hand.

I thought this was a unique idea for a seal, idk if this has been done before

[unreal anvil]

Damn that powerful!

And love it

I know this a lot but will there be fusion or evolution mechanic? Given the nature of both them showing up in the anime

[patent oyster]

yes! joker evolution is planned, but not confirmed, as im relying on someone else to code lol. been trying to think of ideas for fusion but unsure

[patent oyster]

also it is VERY powerful; it makes glass hit twice when held in hand! (which also means it can break while in hand lol)

[unreal anvil]

@patent oyster I am big fan of super and what it did with the fusions, but ya I really like your take on everything so far

[patent oyster]

thank you!! im gonna try to figure out some way to do fusion, we'll see

[patent oyster]

business is booming chat progress is being made!! art is slow rn but thats because im helping one of the coders with their mod in return for them helping me <3

heres a few theyve coded in already!!

[unreal anvil]

Oh what other you helping with?

Oh you got Metal Cooler and don't do anything with steel cards? Shocking

[patent oyster]

i have other plans for steel cards.,,, hehehhehe

[unreal anvil]

Oh boy! I really interested but curious too what other mod you helping with

[patent oyster]

uhh im not sure how much they've shared but its Walpurgisnacht's mod!

i dont wanna give any spoilers or anything on accident lol

[unreal anvil]

Oh so they haven't show their mod here yet

[patent oyster]

not that i know of but i might have just not seen it

[unreal anvil]

Ya just try looking for that mod and couldn't fine anything

[patent oyster]

This mod is making incredible progress in terms of code thanks to @/Walpurgisnacht, many jokers have been implimented (not with art yet) and are being tested. i will be back to doing art for this mod soon as well. be prepared for some new art shown here soon(ish)!

also, if anyone else would like to do some playtesting, please let me know and I'll consider sending out some playtesting builds! thank you to everyone who has shown interest in the mod so far <3

have a krillin as a treat

[unreal anvil]

I like to do some playtesting!!

[patent oyster]

ill let you know (via DMs) if I send out the build!

[unreal anvil]

Thank you!!

[proud hill]

Hello its me the previously mentioned coder

[unreal anvil]

It the legend himself

[proud hill]

Yes

[unreal anvil]

How are you

[proud hill]

Gud

[unreal anvil]

I am eagerly waiting on this mod and the other secret project your working on

[proud hill]

My mod is not secret, its just that no one looks at it

[unreal anvil]

What is it? I am eagerly wanting to check out

[proud hill]

First of all

When you say "secret" wydm?

[unreal anvil]

I kept asking for what your mod was but no one answer, so I figure it was a secret

[unreal anvil]

Because whatever it is, I wanna try it

[proud hill]

I kinda wanna finish the second update before uploading it

Also its kinda a general content mod

Plus a new system

[unreal anvil]

I just saw mod with your name attached to it, so must be it

[proud hill]

Yeah

Its literally called othermod

I added deck jokers before they were cool

[unreal anvil]

Hahaha you the real OG

[proud hill]

Ye

[unreal anvil]

I can't believe I spend weeks looking through old mods and never found yours

[proud hill]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

what jokers should i work on today?

[unreal anvil]

Broly or Goku

[proud hill]

I already finished goku

And theres no actual broly concepts yet

(At least.. as a joker)

[azure bear]

I should probably start working on this ;-;

[proud hill]

Yeah maybe

Oh wait

Maybe i should label what has already been coded

I written all the jokers that has been finished

In the doc

[unreal anvil]

Yes please

[proud hill]

more jonklers

[proud hill]

damn

i dont know what to do

[unreal anvil]

What you got

[proud hill]

majority of the jokers has been added

orange seal (mostly) works, as well as summon

i just dont know what to do now

[unreal anvil]

Can this be play?

[proud hill]

Yes

There should be no major issues

[unreal anvil]

Let do what do best

[patent oyster]

im thinking of a way to impliment fusion in a unique way, and i think i've come up with something.

fusion will likely be a spectral card that fuses 2 cards and turns them into a custom rank (face card above king), with a custom enhancement that is similar to wild; works as any suit, and it will also do something a little extra as well (not sure yet, could be a tiny bit of x mult)

i also might build a few jokers around this custom rank but im not entirely sure yet, still concepting

[unreal anvil]

Can I spitball some ideas?

[patent oyster]

sure go ahead

im also talking about it in #⚙・modding-general if you wanna discuss there

[unreal anvil]

Balatro Fusion is doing as item, I think you should have Joker or perhaps non tarot consumable like Earings that let you fuse

I am playiong your mod right now

[patent oyster]

let me know if you have feedback, we dont have the art in yet but if theres something that feels too busted or too weak lmk

[unreal anvil]

Ok I get we trying to redicule Yamcha but that even too little

[patent oyster]

i mean it does work with ANY probabilities failing, so business card, reserved parking, lucky cards, wheels, the wheel (boss), glass...

the list goes on

[unreal anvil]

Yes, but 2 is just little too little I mean poor dude

like maybe 5

[patent oyster]

nah dude i got him up to like 200 before ante 8 due to an early reserved parking and lots of face cards

i think 2 is fine

maybe he could go up to 3

[unreal anvil]

oh I see you got good combo

that fine probably not getting anything probably base now

by the way metal cooler effect very nice

so far no glitches

impressive

no crash either

[patent oyster]

you can thank walp for that

im calling him walp now i dont wanna type his whole name

[unreal anvil]

ya way too long

[proud hill]

hello tis i walp

[unreal anvil]

Well walp so far no mechanical program with the mod

[proud hill]

you mean problem right?

[unreal anvil]

I was trying to be clever

No problems

[proud hill]

Gud

[proud hill]

OH DAMN

I just realized we got nothing for the dragon balls

[unreal anvil]

Like wish system

[proud hill]

Yes

[unreal anvil]

Maybe slowly collect them as negative consumable

[patent oyster]

got a few more joker arts done yesterday 💪

we are so back

[proud hill]

Yippee

[unreal anvil]

Awesome whenever you guys need me to I test it

[sleek meteor]

dude this looks fucking awesome

[sleek meteor]

is the jiren joker supposed to increase ONLY when a high card is played or when a hand contains a high card (every hand)

because it increases everytime

and how does the ki thing work?

[proud hill]

Only high cards

(If it was hands containing high cards then it is literally balanced)

Also

Ki increases based of the score of the played hand

When you have enough ki it transforms

[sleek meteor]

it just increases everytime i play a hand

[proud hill]

Dude

I didnt even realize the mod with jiren

Would you know how he works

[sleek meteor]

im sorry i dont understand what you're trying to say

[proud hill]

Im saying

The version of this mod with jiren is not available to the public yet

Or at least should not be

[sleek meteor]

oh

[unreal anvil]

Ya I was wondering about that

[sleek meteor]

i just downloaded the file he sent

[sleek meteor]

this one

[proud hill]

Well uh

Ill update it ig

[sleek meteor]

its a really good card

[proud hill]

When you said

Jiren activates on any hand

Do you mean the mult increase or the mult itself

[sleek meteor]

the mult goes up from like 1.25 to 1.50 on ANY hand.

[proud hill]

Weird

[sleek meteor]

maybe instead of high card it should be "hand contains one card"

like dna

[proud hill]

Dude

[sleek meteor]

?

[proud hill]

idunno

[sleek meteor]

so far, even as a wip this mod is really good, cant wait to see the finished build

[zealous stag]

Yeah the art for this is really nice

[sleek meteor]

will there be custom dragon ball face cards and such?

thats one of the first things i looked for when i got balatro

[zealous stag]

oh a deck skin?

[sleek meteor]

yes that

[zealous stag]

@patent oyster I think that could be cool

[patent oyster]

i made those separately actually lol, havent released em or anything cuz idk how to add them as a separate skin

[sleek meteor]

can we see?👀

[zealous stag]

Oh i have code to make one
I should have a forum for deckskins, feel free to steal the code from that

[sleek meteor]

dude i would love to see that

please make it happen

ive never been so excited for a mod

[proud hill]

chat

i forgot what i was doing

[sleek meteor]

you can remember

i believe in you

[proud hill]

lets see

every scalable joker is done

[sleek meteor]

how many jokers done so far?

[proud hill]

51

[sleek meteor]

woah

thats more than what was said

im proud of you

[proud hill]

👍

most of the things that arent finished yet is because they'rw something ive never done

[sleek meteor]

im sure you can do it

are there any ideas for those custom consumables?

[proud hill]

yeah there is

im just unsure on how to temporarily give hands and discards

[sleek meteor]

that does sound difficult

[proud hill]

i mean im not sure if it is

[foggy prawn]

if you mean just for the current round, it's ease_hands_played(number)and ease_discard(number)

if you mean a longer duration, i'd look into how grabber and wasteful work

[proud hill]

k

i guess i know now

well that fixes my issue with tri beam and the senzu beans

[sleek meteor]

may i ask what those 2 do?

[proud hill]

tri beam has a 1 in 4 chance to "stun" the boss blind (+1 hand and discard)

senzu bean gives 1 hand if used or 1 discard if sold

[sleek meteor]

wow these are smart

[proud hill]

teserex cooks

[patent oyster]

there's those

[proud hill]

where vegito

[patent oyster]

i ate him

[sleek meteor]

why

spit him out

[proud hill]

you aint buu

[patent oyster]

[sleek meteor]

i would do anything for vegito

[patent oyster]

i was thinking if we do make a custom Fusion rank, it would be a face card and it could look like vegito

[proud hill]

maybe

or it could be other fusions

[patent oyster]

true

[proud hill]

like

kefla

[sleek meteor]

that would be nice

[patent oyster]

speaking of kefla i was making my bf watch dragon ball super with me again last night and we got like 10 episodes into the tournament of power and he just went "this shit fucking sucks" and said he doesnt want to watch super anymore LMAO

[sleek meteor]

is this his first time or is he just tired of dbs

[proud hill]

i mean it does kinda drag

[patent oyster]

i think he's just tired of it lol, we've watched all of dragon ball and most of dbs

and i didn't wanna drag him through all of z so we watched abridged lmao

[proud hill]

Peak

ill (re)start working when its the weekdays

(working as in workin on the mod)

[sleek meteor]

take your time

[sleek meteor]

@patent oyster are the deck skins seperate or part of the balatro z mod, if theyre separate (and finished) where can i find a file for it?

[patent oyster]

there isnt a proper upload of it or anything but i can just send the spritesheet if you want that

[sleek meteor]

oh yeah thats fine

[patent oyster]

i wasnt planning on them being a part of the mod either but they could be

also i only have a high contrast version atm

[sleek meteor]

seems fitting for them to be

[sleek meteor]

i play on high contrast

[patent oyster]

WAIT these arent the latest version

one sec

[sleek meteor]

take your time

[patent oyster]

there we go

[sleek meteor]

these 2x or 1x?

[zealous stag]

Both probably

There are 2 images

[sleek meteor]

oh i didnt even notice

👍

[zealous stag]

Do you have code for these?
in your mod

[patent oyster]

no lol

[zealous stag]

local atlas_key = 'key'
local atlas_path = 'atlas_lc.png'
local atlas_path_hc = 'atlas_hc.png'

local suits = {'hearts', 'clubs', 'diamonds', 'spades'}
local ranks = {'Jack', 'Queen', "King", "Ace", "10", "9", "8", "7", "6", "5", "4", "3", "2"}

local description = {
hearts = "Hearts name",
clubs = "clubs name",
diamonds = "diamonds name",
spades = "spades name",
}

SMODS.Atlas{ key = atlas_key..'_lc', px = 71, py = 95, path = atlas_path, prefix_config = {key = false},}
if atlas_path_hc then
SMODS.Atlas{ key = atlas_key..'_hc', px = 71, py = 95, path = atlas_path_hc, prefix_config = {key = false},}
end

for _, suit in ipairs(suits) do
SMODS.DeckSkin{
key = suit.."_skin",
suit = suit:gsub("^%l", string.upper),
ranks = ranks,
display_ranks = {"Jack", "Queen", "King", "Ace"},
lc_atlas = atlas_key..'_lc',
hc_atlas = (atlas_path_hc and atlas_key..'_hc') or atlas_key..'_lc',
loc_txt = {
['en-us'] = description[suit]},
posStyle = 'deck'
}
end

use that

[patent oyster]

@proud hill this is all you bro

idk how to code lol

i just draw stuff

[zealous stag]

I just sent the code

that is all you need

[patent oyster]

well ik but idk how to impliment it

[zealous stag]

T-T

[patent oyster]

AUGH

[zealous stag]

what is the mod key, and what are the names of the images?

[patent oyster]

i think its btz, and the images are just named the same as the base game spreadsheets

[zealous stag]

local atlas_key = 'btz'
local atlas_path = 'name1.png'
local atlas_path_hc = 'name2.png'

well the top 3 lines are just this

name1 and name2 are the image file names

[sleek meteor]

was this joker made with the custom deck in mind? i was wondering why you chose specific face cards

[patent oyster]

perhaps

oh yeah what joker art should i do today

[sleek meteor]

which jokers do you have done?

[patent oyster]

i have most of the non-scaling commons done, and a few uncommons

thats about it

ive sent almost all of them in here at some point

[sleek meteor]

are my goku jokers supposed to go super saiyan?

or am i schizo

yeah they are

there needs to be an indicator

i love this mod

[patent oyster]

true

perhaps an "upgrade!" indicator like scaling jokers

[sleek meteor]

it was very unexpected to see my base goku all of a sudden start giving me 2x mult

[patent oyster]

lol

[sleek meteor]

would be helpful

[patent oyster]

i do also wanna somehow add a counter for how much ki you have

its just a collective number of your total score for all blinds

[sleek meteor]

will there be an indicator for how much ki you have?

oh ok

[patent oyster]

lol

i also wanna figure out how to change the transforming into a button, that also shows the ki cost

and i say "i wanna figure out" even though its not me thats figuring it out lol. again idk anything abt code

[sleek meteor]

like you spend ki to upgrade jokers?

[patent oyster]

yuh

right now they just auto-upgrade when you have enough ki

[sleek meteor]

now that you mention it having the option to choose to upgrade your jokers does seem good

[patent oyster]

yeah especially if you have more than 1

[sleek meteor]

also whats happening sith the mentioned shenron mechanic?

any ideas for how thats gonna work?

[patent oyster]

i think its gonna be something like this:

each dragon ball is a "joker", im not entirely sure what rarity to make them yet, and they dont take up joker space (so theyre just always negative ig)
once you collect all 7, itll either transform into a Shenron joker (the easier option in terms of code) or itll pull up a custom menu that has a few options of wishes you can take

then all the dragon balls will be destroyed and removed from the joker pool

im trying to decide if i want it to be possible to collect them in a simple ante 8 run or if i should focus more on endless

[proud hill]

Do jiren

[patent oyster]

ooooh

ill try

[proud hill]

Btw i know how to implement messages

[patent oyster]

oh bet

[proud hill]

So that is doable

[patent oyster]

jiren im watching ur stream rn why you tryin not to laugh bruh

[proud hill]

Lmao

[proud hill]

Yk

Since deckskins are queens,kings and jacks

Why dont you do god's, angels and kamis from different dbz universes

[unreal anvil]

Oh that good one

[patent oyster]

jiren

[unreal anvil]

Oh shit!!! Here the man

[proud hill]

Absolute cinema

[sleek meteor]

im proud of you teserex

[sleek meteor]

would it be possible to move all this down to create space for a ki counter at the top? i see some negative space

just a suggestion

[proud hill]

i mean

we could if we knew how to add ki counters in the first place

[patent oyster]

what joker should i do next

[sleek meteor]

have you done janemba?

[patent oyster]

not yet

oh man thats gonna be hard

[sleek meteor]

might aswell get the hard ones out of the way

what about the time ring?

[patent oyster]

also havent started

i mean either way im at work rn but when i get home i can start these

[sleek meteor]

totally up to you

whichever joker you choose to start on is your choice

[proud hill]

i suck at ui

[sleek meteor]

im looking at the lovely console thing, it shows me the current total amount of ki (chips) i have

wouldnt you be able to just take that number and implement it into the game?

i dont know code so i dont know if this is how it'll work

[proud hill]

well maybe

but the issue is where and how to put the ki counter

[patent oyster]

depending on the location, you'd probably want to make it abbreviate to 100K and 100M (and so on)instead of writing out the entire numbers, if thats possible (im assuming it is, similar to the e's)

[proud hill]

i geniunely dont know how to do ui 😭

[patent oyster]

glup

well youve figured out a bunch of other new stuff so far lol

but we can ask sigma instead

[proud hill]

maybe

[sleek meteor]

would the small blind logo and number be pushed down to make space? i doubt its simple though

whos sigma

[proud hill]

one of the other devs of this mod

[patent oyster]

Σ

[proud hill]

(unfortunatley i went overkill and did most of the jokers so whoopsie)

[patent oyster]

probably not since boss blinds take up that whole space i think

[sleek meteor]

do they?

oh yeah

[patent oyster]

NOT UNFORTUNATE I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH

[proud hill]

7 jokers remain unfinished

[patent oyster]

one thing though is that im gonna be extra nitpicky on consistency of the wording and such so if there's an easy way for me to edit the text and subtext of jokers ill probably do that at the end

[proud hill]

yeah editing text is simple

[patent oyster]

ok cool

[sleek meteor]

how unfortunate

[patent oyster]

yeaa

[sleek meteor]

counter could be put into the deck view menu

[patent oyster]

ehh id rather it be on the main screen if possible

so you can actively see how much you have instead of needing to check

but if it comes to that that'd probably be easier for organization purposes

[sleek meteor]

i would too

[patent oyster]

thats a good backup spot

[sleek meteor]

maybe even a small menu that can be moved around?

[proud hill]

wait a minute

[sleek meteor]

it'll be harder to make tho

[proud hill]

i know some mods with some ui changes

[sleek meteor]

i think

i saw a poker hand preview thing

it used a small menu

went under the consumables

[patent oyster]

maybe it could go here? (obv the fonts would match this is just an example)

or should it be larger than this

[sleek meteor]

i think a little larger and a small bg for it

just a dark rectangle that shows the counter

[patent oyster]

this kinda feels like a weird spot for smth like this but i feel like we're getting closer

[sleek meteor]

it works tho

its a good spot

[patent oyster]

my initial idea was gonna be to squish down these buttons and add it here, but this seems MUCH harder lol

also this is a shitty rendition but you get the idea lol

[sleek meteor]

i think the first version is better

i edited it into a full image to see how it would look

its a good spot

[patent oyster]

idk it just kinda feels like its in the middle of nowhere

maybe thats just me

[sleek meteor]

maybe you could move the whole blind thing and the blind name up

that could make space for it no?

it would fit in too

[patent oyster]

maybe

[sleek meteor]

i tried

it didnt make enough space

the ki counter would have to be squished down

i say the little menu under the consumables is better

i assumed it would be the same size as the score count

[patent oyster]

should there be custom packs with specifically balatro z jokers or nah

[proud hill]

Nah

[patent oyster]

alr just throwin the idea out there

[sleek meteor]

im seeing btz jokers pretty often so i dont see it as needed

[patent oyster]

alr cool

do u think we added too many 😭

[sleek meteor]

58 right?

[patent oyster]

idk the exact number atm lemme check

[sleek meteor]

also whats the difference between capsule joker and that one tarot card

[patent oyster]

i think 59 total, but of that only like 30 something actually appear in the shop

[patent oyster]

one takes up a joker slot one takes up a tarot slot

[sleek meteor]

because of the upgrades?

[patent oyster]

also i think we have it create 1 or 2 tarots instead of always 2

[sleek meteor]

yeah

dont you think the chance of it also creating planet cards is good?

just a suggestion

[patent oyster]

hmm

maybe

or i could make that a separate capsule, and have bulma create one or the other

[sleek meteor]

yeah thats also good

and kinda simpler

[patent oyster]

imma jot this down rq

what if there was more capsules for other stuff

[sleek meteor]

will farmer with a shotgun be making an appearance?

[patent oyster]

HE SHOULD

what will he do

[sleek meteor]

idk i just felt these jokers were really overpowered and show up pretty early

thought there should at least be some weaker ones

[patent oyster]

i wont disagree with that

[sleek meteor]

pther than yamcga and destructo disk

i felt the cards were too good to be so common

jiren especially

[patent oyster]

hes a rare though :/

should he scale a bit slower

[sleek meteor]

ive gotten him almost every run

[patent oyster]

hi walp

[patent oyster]

i mean idk what to say there lol

[proud hill]

Hi

Oops

[proud hill]

Hi

[patent oyster]

lol

[patent oyster]

i think im gonna leave him as is for now but if it becomes a recurring overpowered card then we can nerf him

[sleek meteor]

hes good

i think another reason is the version of btz im playing just scales him up whenever i play any hand

[patent oyster]

oh LMAO

free x mult be upon ye

anyways what do we think of there being more variants of capsules

[sleek meteor]

what will they do?

[patent oyster]

like one that just gives you money or one that gives a tag

[sleek meteor]

wait, what if the packs were capsules?

[patent oyster]

wdym

like shop packs?

[sleek meteor]

yeah

[patent oyster]

just reskin them to be capsules?

[sleek meteor]

yeah

[patent oyster]

lowkey

i like that

but yeah i think itd be cool to have a bunch of diff capsules that bulma could make

maybe one gives a random Common joker

[sleek meteor]

your capsule idea is good tho

[sleek meteor]

so a kinda worse riff raff?

[patent oyster]

i was considering doing one that makes a random spectral but maybe thats too good

[patent oyster]

yuh

and its just single use

[sleek meteor]

thats pretty good

[patent oyster]

should capsules be findable in the shop or should they only be accessible via bulma

[sleek meteor]

make them a rare chance in the shop, they might be too good

depends on all the types of capsule you make?

actually i think bulma is better

is there a broly joker?

[proud hill]

No

[sleek meteor]

make him delete the game from the device when bought

tough crowd

[patent oyster]

i think im gonna do:

capsule 022: create 1-2 tarots
capsule 012: create 1-2 planets
capsule 001: gives $5-10
capsule 061: gives 1 random common joker
capsule 999: gives 1 spectral (maybe)

i could make only cap 999 bulma-exclusive

[proud hill]

Imagine if we made her upgradable

[sleek meteor]

👍👍

[patent oyster]

eh she only gets worse over time in the show so

[proud hill]

K

[patent oyster]

yk whats funny is capsule 061 could just make another capsule lol

[sleek meteor]

are the boss blinds going to be the villains?

[patent oyster]

yeah

but theyre going to be renamed to fit balatros naming scheme a little better

ex. frieza would be "The Overlord"

[sleek meteor]

i like that

thats way better than just keeping the same name

what app do you use to make the joker designs?

(and the custom deck)

[patent oyster]

i use krita!

[sleek meteor]

i see

[patent oyster]

btw here are the ones we have planned atm

[sleek meteor]

thanks teserex

[patent oyster]

you can probably figure out who's who

[sleek meteor]

now im thinking what their effects will be

[patent oyster]

you will learn in due time,,,,,,,

[sleek meteor]

is the doppelganger going to copy the effect of a different boss blinds?

[patent oyster]

dont think so, but im not fully settled on that one yet

so maybe it will lol

[proud hill]

The enraged is literally broly

He gets stronger if you have a saiyan in your deck

[patent oyster]

i actually changed that one lol

idk i thought that was too specific of a thing since there arent THAT many saiyan jokers

[proud hill]

Ķ

[sleek meteor]

then make it whenever you have any btz joker

[patent oyster]

maybe?

currently i just have it scaling the requirement based on total joker count

which i think i want to have it do slightly more than the wall if you have 5 jokers

[sleek meteor]

not the wall

not again

[patent oyster]

lole!

i mean he is just a wall if you think about it

[sleek meteor]

i think broly scaling with any joker is better

[proud hill]

Wanna just make a universal broly booster that increases everytime i joker scales

[sleek meteor]

i just realized these are only 6, we're getting 4 more

[patent oyster]

hopyfully

hopefully*

i just need to actually like

come up with them lol

[proud hill]

Hmmmmmm

The army

[sleek meteor]

oh yeah

[proud hill]

The invaders

[sleek meteor]

red ribbon army is good

[patent oyster]

ooh

[sleek meteor]

Dr. Gero? i dont know what he'll do tho

[proud hill]

Could just be the red ribbon as a whole

[sleek meteor]

ginyu force?

[patent oyster]

interesting

what would ginyu force do

must play less than 5 cards?

[proud hill]

Destroys a joker if you score too high

[sleek meteor]

that is evil

[patent oyster]

that sounds incredibly annoying

[sleek meteor]

do it

[patent oyster]

LMAO

[proud hill]

What about janemba

What should we call him

[patent oyster]

idk janembas ablities that well lol

also idk

[sleek meteor]

i barely remember the fight honestly

[proud hill]

Dimensional slice

[patent oyster]

halves chips and mult

oh wait

[sleek meteor]

exists

[patent oyster]

thats already the EVILEST boss blind in base game

randomly debuffs half of cards in deck?

or is that too much

[sleek meteor]

i was thinking that too

[proud hill]

Yk what

Add hercyle aa a boss

[patent oyster]

i hope he does nothing

[proud hill]

The hero

[patent oyster]

nah

the CHAMPION

[proud hill]

Yeeeeaah

[sleek meteor]

so is he just a "bigger" blind?

[patent oyster]

i think itd be funny if he literally did nothing

[sleek meteor]

yeah

would babidi work?

[patent oyster]

like the description is like something really intimidating then its just nothing

[sleek meteor]

idk what babidi would do

[patent oyster]

itd probably be similar to the majin whatever it is

which idek if what we have for the majin would work

[proud hill]

Makes your cards evil

[patent oyster]

cards do -chips instead of +chips?

that doesnt sound THAT bad

[sleek meteor]

thats evil

yeah

i like that

keep it a secret

they might be evil cards

you'll never know

[patent oyster]

i might just make that the majin instead cuz the current one for the majin is weird

[sleek meteor]

whats majins current

[patent oyster]

basically your jokers have a chance to get brainwashed aka whiff their ability

ex. hanging chad might only retrig once

[sleek meteor]

that would be pretty hard ti implement

[patent oyster]

yeah

so i might just do the -chips thing instead

[sleek meteor]

evil cards

[patent oyster]

evil cards

should it just be that they give -chips by default or should it give them an "enchancement" when theyre played that does -chips

then you have to fix them later

[sleek meteor]

fixing them later is too evil i feel

[patent oyster]

perhaps

[sleek meteor]

lets get a second opinion

[burnt wyvern]

you are also crazy!

(thats the second opinion)

[proud hill]

Hey guyszszsss

here more balls of dragons

@patent oyster

[unreal anvil]

Oh I like balls of dragons

[proud hill]

wait guys these balls are outdated

here are the new balls

(features more capsules, a somewhat better bulma and farmer)

[unreal anvil]

Better and stronger balls

Ball 2.0

[proud hill]

btw jiren isnt workin right now so uhhhh

yeah

[sleek meteor]

im proud of you walp

[sleek meteor]

minor spelling mistake

[patent oyster]

piccolo is HELLA busted

we gotta nerf tf outta him bruh

[sleek meteor]

orange piccolo might genuinely be the best card

[patent oyster]

it 100% is

[sleek meteor]

is there a way to make something sell for 0?

[patent oyster]

probably

[sleek meteor]

i feel like the capsules should have a sell price of 0

[patent oyster]

i got an early piccolo and an early kami, followed by a showman and another piccolo

[sleek meteor]

holy shit piccolo + kami is broken

[patent oyster]

yyyyup

[sleek meteor]

why do i have so many vegetas

thats 11

[patent oyster]

im gonna see how far i can go with these piccolos

gulp

OH NO

YAMCHA + JANEMBA

[sleek meteor]

yeah i got that last time

what if the piccolo and kami plus jiren?

play high card 7s

yeah jiren still broken

please bless me with a vegeta joker

[patent oyster]

omg

[sleek meteor]

i lost the run

i have 7 jacks now

hope i get a goku

[patent oyster]

hey whats that guy doin in the shop

[sleek meteor]

is he an upgrade or one of those fusion cards you talked about

or maybe it was walp

these btz jokers are too damn common

[patent oyster]

hes an upgradeable one

[sleek meteor]

hit and senzu bean pouch

[patent oyster]

wild

[sleek meteor]

i havent seen a regular joker in so long

hit might be the best card

[patent oyster]

glup

boys

weve done it

one negative card

[sleek meteor]

what kinda deck is that

[patent oyster]

piccolo + kami deck

[sleek meteor]

oh

i mustve missed it

[patent oyster]

i found another piccolo jr while i have 3 piccolos

NOT intended,,,, but im taking itlole

[sleek meteor]

i feel that these jokers are too good

but show up so much

i havent seen the farmer once

[patent oyster]

ive seen him plenty of times

[sleek meteor]

but jiren is making multiple appearances

maybe im getting good seeds

[patent oyster]

all 6 of the non-negatives are orange piccolo

[sleek meteor]

what seed is that

damn

[patent oyster]

its just because you can find him in the shop if you a;lready have him (which isnt intended)

[sleek meteor]

i see

testing something

[patent oyster]

oh god

[sleek meteor]

1 kami 4 piccolos

[thin quiver]

he has that rn

[patent oyster]

bro i have 1 kami 1 dusk and 5 piccolos

[patent oyster]

yup

[patent oyster]

he is the definition of aura

heres how mines going

[sleek meteor]

whats that small box

what does it do

under the jokers

[patent oyster]

oh its just a mod that tells what each joker does

doesnt work on modded ones unless theyre made compatible manually i think

[sleek meteor]

which mod?

[patent oyster]

jokerdisplay

[sleek meteor]

thnks

theres 5 of them

[patent oyster]

yeah

[sleek meteor]

holygoddamn what ante are you on?

[patent oyster]

19

[sleek meteor]

i messed up

[patent oyster]

what happened

[sleek meteor]

what even is that

[patent oyster]

[sleek meteor]

my score is -nan

it wont increase

[patent oyster]

oh

[sleek meteor]

the fall of icarus

[patent oyster]

you got naninf lmao

my piccolos are doing 100x now

[sleek meteor]

mine are dead

mustve been nappa

mods amazing tho

[patent oyster]

im done bruh

break piccolos knees

[thin quiver]

lead pipe straight to the shins

[patent oyster]

btw 28 antes 84 rounds thousands of dollars and i NEVER saw blueprint or brainstorm, and i saw ONE baron in there

[sleek meteor]

i still find it interesting that the btz jokers show up so commonly

and they're good jokers

too good

[patent oyster]

yeah

maybe we added too much

[sleek meteor]

the game has 150 jokers, 37 jokers in your mod they show up a lot, i doubt you added too much

i think it was 37

[reef valley]

When is release

[sleek meteor]

when dbs season 2 releases

[reef valley]

When how to install mods in mobile

[sleek meteor]

i dont know man

[sleek meteor]

i realize now the senzu beans would be better as tarot cards

[proud hill]

no

i dont think you can give tarots sell effects

[sleek meteor]

ahh, i see, my bad

[patent oyster]

#📜・modding-rules

also i lowkey kinda wanna add another copying joker but maybe thats a bad idea

[sleek meteor]

what will it do?

like

how will it copy

its mechanic

[patent oyster]

not sure

i just want it to be different from blueprint and brainstorm

[sleek meteor]

blueprint an brainstorm feel like enough copy jokers

[patent oyster]

yeah probably

[patent oyster]

i just find it crazy that i didnt see either of them ONCE during this entire run

but i prob just got unlucky i guess

[sleek meteor]

i barely see them in my own runs

is there art for tri beam joker?

[patent oyster]

not yet

[sleek meteor]

what about piccolo?

[patent oyster]

not yet lol

[sleek meteor]

you have to

[patent oyster]

there really isnt THAT many that arent already sent in here somewhere

[patent oyster]

oh i will

[sleek meteor]

youve sent 11 (12 when beerus but we havent seen the full thing）

[patent oyster]

lemme check the spreadsheet

ok yeah i have 16 done

[sleek meteor]

damn

can we see beerus

farmer joker really isnt that bad

hes perfect for who he is

[patent oyster]

soon,,,,,,,,,,,,

[patent oyster]

his power level is, in fact, 5

[sleek meteor]

oh thats the reason you chose 5

[patent oyster]

yup

[sleek meteor]

i thought you just wanted a slightly stronger jimbo

[patent oyster]

i mean that too

but mainly cuz thats what raditz scanned him as

WAIT

RADITZ

why is he not in the mod

i need to fix this rn

[sleek meteor]

i thought he was a boss blind

[patent oyster]

he will be

[sleek meteor]

one of the missing 4

[azure bear]

this, out of context, is so goofy 🥀 😭

[proud hill]

Hi sigma

[sleek meteor]

oh yeah walp

there was a spelling mistake if you didnt see

[proud hill]

Dammit

[patent oyster]

i plan on going in at the end and making everything consistent and spelled right so dw abt this stuff for now

good catch though

[unreal anvil]

Do you remember the balls are inert or many dragon ball memes

Balatro

[proud hill]

Balala

[patent oyster]

i need to lock in

[zealous stag]

you do

probably

[proud hill]

ye

[solar sequoia]

do this mod have team four stars reference if not may i do one card idea?

[patent oyster]

it does actually have a few abridged references yeah

whats your idea?

[solar sequoia]

tien joker When in a boss blind your hand with the smallest level give +1 hand and some multi

like the fuck power levels

you kinda just stall

[patent oyster]

we actually have something like that

[solar sequoia]

oh cool

[patent oyster]

its kinda similar

[solar sequoia]

just wanted to give my idea if i have another i make sure to give your mod look cool i am planing to play in a while

[patent oyster]

its not done yet, but i appreciate it <3

[solar sequoia]

i mean at least you are working on it

so just keep doing the good work and i am sure it will be a even greatter mod

[solar sequoia]

@patent oyster hey i may be dumb or there is a download link or you dont submited the mod yet

[patent oyster]

its not submitted yet, but we do have an early build posted in here somewhere if you want to try it. it doesnt have the artwork in it though, and its a little rough around the edges

[solar sequoia]

i dont see a problen in testing

[patent oyster]

here is the current build i think

[solar sequoia]

thanks

[patent oyster]

UGH LET ME POST MY SILLY STICKERS

[patent oyster]

just finished watching dragon ball super with the bf, we had some,,, mixed opinions

[naive niche]

baklatro z

[zealous stag]

balala y

[naive niche]

hows the mod going so far actually

[patent oyster]

it hasnt really progressed in a while lol. ive been working on other stuff. dropped a song yesterday actually

this is like in the very back of my to do list

wait,,, , to do list,,, ,,

[unreal anvil]

A song? You do music too, you got link to it

[zealous stag]

ive listened to some stuff teserex made, its neat 👍

[unreal anvil]

Oh what sort genre is?

[zealous stag]

peak

ngl, I dont remeber it fully

all I remeber is "spongebob in fortnite" as the title
or something like that

[unreal anvil]

Now I am curious

[patent oyster]

idk if i can post links in here

https://youtu.be/D5-mPcdULkc

oh nevermind i can

cool

[unreal anvil]

I never expected that it like club/techno music that really dope

[zealous stag]

👍

I dont like that music genre, but it is good

so good it may even be... gud

[patent oyster]

thank u guys

[zealous stag]

[insert emoji I made]

[solar sequoia]

hey i got some ideas based on TFS:
HFIL - if you score a tree of kind with 6 destroy this joker and create a random joker with edition (cell,freeza,raditz,ginui force joker) basically the hfil gang
Catch song - earn 10 gold on the end of a round and play "cats love food yeah yeah yeah"
Super kami guru - The first hand you play during a boss blind level up 3 levels.
I am the hype - Every time a joker score chips gain half of it if this joker is not the joker that score the most chips in 3 rounds break this joker arm(destroy it)
eat that horse - during the final hand of a boss blind duplicate the value of every joker , is destroyed after that.

[patent oyster]

if i get back to working on this i will definitely consider some of these

[naive niche]

not my type of music, but that doesnt mean it isnt appealing to a specific audience, at least you made something teserex, im proud of you!

[patent oyster]

thank u!

[naive niche]

🧡

Balatro Z (On Hold) A Dragon Ball Mod
