The Buck: Common

+15 mult every time this card is seen in the shop without being bought (currently +15 mult) (resets if sold after being bought)

Could incorporate a visual mechanic where its antlers gain another set of points every time it's seen. Could have a cap, ideally either 60 or 75 mult, or stay uncapped to better reward players for rerolling to juice it.

what was it called

#

rainy day funds

#

did the same thing

dark cove
#

Goddammit, of course someone's already thought of this.

austere nacelle
#

the issue is

#

its going to be SUPER rare that you see this consistently enough to where its good

#

and at its base, its just a better gros michel because it doesnt have a chance to kill itself so you're likely either going to skip it because you dont need it, or getting it on the first roll because 15 mult for free is 15 mult for free

dark cove
#

Correct. I was hedging my bet with a base of 15 because I would want players to feel the tension between immediate gratification and potential future gains. Other scaling flat mult options are more controllable, but I like the more niche mechanics like Seance or Superposition.

Wait never mind I blind

did you do the art yourself

dark cove
#

Yes indeed.

stiff plank
#

its real good

#

unfortunately the rest of the joker is not

Yeah it feels too inconsistent, and honestly I’d rather have flash card as a reroll scaler

stiff plank
#

consistency makes a joker good

#

this is not it

dark cove
#

All reasonable.

omg, such cool art wasted on such a not-working idea

#

i dont like the idea of a joker that relies on not being picked up too honestly

#

like the game design of working towards a joker you dont have doesnt work especially when using its gimmick is really bad

red wadi
#

it's bad game design tbh
and more luck based than any other thing, crazier than lucky cards

dark cove
#

My other idea was to make it passively scale with every ante instead of based on every time it's seen.
It was basically just dreamed up to work on the wordplay, too = :>P

because the art is fucking sweet

dark cove

Thank.

I'm thinking it could be a wild card joker in some sense.. like "retrigger every wild card played [1] time (+1 every 4 bosses cleared)" or something, just a random idea

#

dunno if that is cookery or not

dark cove
#

I dig it. Wild cards have their suits shot out, deer are wild animals.

#

The masses are so thirsty for a wild card buff 😩 .

#

Even if this one didn't fully pan out please for the love of God stay in the kitchen

dark cove
#

I will continue to draw Jonklers and give them likely quite bad effects = :>)
