Random Deck, Seed, and Stake. Resets every 24 Hours.
add a separate leaderboard for the biggest score gained in 8 antes and endless.
Add some achievements for getting daily wins and call it a day.

oops! all naneinf!
anyway im pretty sure thunk has said there will be no multiplayer and im pretty sure this technically qualifies

anyway im pretty sure thunk has said there will be no multiplayer and im pretty ...
Going off of what LocalThunk "technically" said isn't a great way to assess suggestions imo
If he's explicitly said "no leaderboards" then sure, but otherwise, I don't think it falls into the category of multiplayer
dusty obsidian
A lot of the reasoning for no multiplayer extends to this, though

im guessing it’s because localthunk wants the player to be able to approach the game at their own pace? i haven’t seen him say it so this is my guess / reasoning

I think just for ante 8, highest score would be fine. Endless seems like too much of a time commitment for just a daily run and it brings in the potential for naneinf. This feature seems fine, it seems sort of pointless to speculate over what Local Thunk may or may not imply against daily runs.

I'm pretty sure it's more of "multiplayer is a pain to code" and "mods do it well enough"
opal girder
a leaderboard is not hard lmao i would know
most difficult part is upkeeping a server
dusty obsidian
fair

most difficult part is upkeeping a server
it clears every day too so permanent storage wouldn’t be a thing
dusty obsidian
anyway i think this is fine if it's allowed but also not necessary at all
opal girder
that being said cheating is annoying as hell to combat
which is a way better reason to not do this
dusty obsidian
oh yeah thats fair
opal girder
also what happens when a player finishes a run when the next leaderboard is already up lmao
empty copper

Actually, that's probably the part LocalThunk doesn't want to do now that I think about it
empty copper
that being said cheating is annoying as hell to combat
Yeah, especially since it's coded in love2d and therefore the source code can be directly modified
empty copper
Maybe scrap the leaderboard part but keep the daily run idea?
acoustic bolt
Yeah like in TBOI
empty copper
Why no multiplayer?
Q: Will you ever add official multiplayer?
A: No, Balatro was always intended as a singleplayer experience and I would love to keep it that way.

I have thought about making a Weekly Challenge mod where there's a custom challenge each week
Probably not Daily unless I had other contributors as well
It would simply be too much work for me to consistently come up with and code in unique and interesting challenges every single day
acoustic bolt
Yeah I understand
wary shell
Leaderboards or not, id still enjoy a daily run similar to TBOI
frosty valve
daily runs i feel require much less work than multiplayer anyways
just put highest score and highest ante/win on a leaderboard
cut out endless tho since daily arent meant to be that long usually

i don't think the multiplayer is necessary but this is cool
it'd be cooler if they were handpicked gold stake seeds
opal girder
it'd be cooler if they were handpicked gold stake seeds
most people are not locked in enough for gold stake
random stake provides variety in skill required
dusty obsidian
the other issue with the multiplayer aspect is unlocks
frosty valve
daily runs famously just have like a throwaway "beat a daily run" achievment in most games with them
frosty valve
the other issue with the multiplayer aspect is unlocks
daily runs could be unlock all
like in them
dusty obsidian
daily runs could be unlock all
that kinda defeats the point of unlocks doesnt it
frosty valve
daily runs ignoring your unlock stasus to make an even playing field is normal what?
like theyre genuinely in every game ive seen like that
worn dust
that kinda defeats the point of unlocks doesnt it
every game with daily runs does that
plus its not like the game has that heavy of an incentive on unlocking stuff
literally has a built in unlock all button
obsidian nova
plus its not like the game has that heavy of an incentive on unlocking stuff
Yes it does
worn dust
Yes it does
debatable but why did you ❌ the message saying it has a built in unlock all button
literally does
