Hello! I am Moder112, and I am working on the (hopefully) next big Balatro mod!

(actually my real account is @bold otter , I am usually a Linux user but I switch to Windows for Balatro, as I keep my games on Windows then usual desktop stuff on Linux. If @bold otter were to comment on this thread about something, just know it is my main)

Eris is in very early development. As I write this post I have only declared my mod to Lovely - I am working on the mod's logo and basic required graphics and texts. Please expect drastic, and I seriously mean drastic, balance changes, joker modifications, sprite changes and sound changes. The difference between "dev version 1 a" and "dev version 1 b", for example, may be so drastic the mod's old and new versions are intelligible.

Here, in this main post, I will try my best to describe Eris and any questions you may have about this.

Firstly, why "Eris"? Why did I choose that name over any other?
Eris is the Flush Five Planet card, as you (hopefully) know. I decided on this name as the secret planets, X, Ceres and Eris, were personally my favourite consumables to unlock, as I had to play my cards right (pun intended) in order to unlock them. I decided to name it that way after mods like Cryptid and Incantation.

Secondly, what things are to be expected from this mod?
I coded this mod with many large mods in mind - and tested/will test with these mods installed and active. On the GitHub code link to my repo coming up soon in this post, I detail some which I recommend be installed/enabled - I did not test/won't test my mod with these enabled all of the time unlike the other mods.
This means many gimmicks of other mods and jokers that do specific things won't be plainly regurgitated - I won't be adding certain things like a 5 stone card hand as this is a "Bulwark" in Cryptid.
This does not mean the mod cannot be played without these mods but just know the intended experience is with these mods.
(part 1 - limit)

I will add cards to the mod such as what I like to call "advanced math" - anything tetration, ^^, or higher, such as heptation, ^^^^^. These cards are intended for pickup and use at high antes - not outright banned, but may be hard to get until a while into the run.

Thirdly, is there any mods required for install?
The only mod I will mark as a dependency other than Lovely and SMODS will be Talisman, but since this is intended for use in conjunction with Cryptid and other mods that may require Talisman (I have never disabled it other than when I wanted to do a naneinf run) then it should be enabled.

Fourthly, is there a release map or ETA?
I cannot restrict myself to a deadline just yet, as the mod hasn't really started just yet. I will steadily release.. well, releases of the mod and I will detail plans for future updates. Please remember this is all subject to change. As for release schedule, until a later date there is no plans for a schedule so be prepared to wait weeks/months between updates.

Finally, what things will the mod add?
I plan to add:
Cards - Decks, Stakes, Seals, Enhancements
Jokers - Jokers, Editions
Consumables - Planets, Tarots, Spectrals, Code Cards (needs Cryptid for better functionality) and maybe another consumable type!?
Other - Music, Blinds (this, for one of the first times, includes the small/big blinds too, not just bosses/finishers!), Challenges, Tags, Vouchers, Packs, other textures

You can find the mod at
https://github.com/RockinProjex/Eris
and this is where all releases happen. DO NOT download from source - if you do, expect unpatched bugs, glitches and crashes!

I will use this thread to post new ideas, sneak peeks and more!

What the fuck

#

This was NOT me 💔

#

Also

#

I highly advise you to not name your mod after a vanilla card

#

Because that sucks for visibility

#

It only really works with cryptid because that mod is insanely popular

#

didn't mean to reply ping, now it sounds rude, sry

#

I highly recommend migrating to Amulet from Talisman, as it is almost fully backwards compatible with the latter and many mods also work with it

valid fog
#

wdym migrate

#

for mods that already require talisman theres essentially no difference

HUGE update concerning this mod...
Hello everyone, I have finally decided to log into my main on Windows so I can bring you updates from a singular account. I would like to announce what I call "The Secret Universe", a set of Balatro mods where one mod can fill in for another.

The mods will be called "Eris" (still), "Planet X" and "Ceres", the secret planets. Eris will be the main quest - very Cryptid or POLTERWORX-like, and horrifically imbalanced. Planet X will include simpler additions, like a Vanilla+ mod. Finally, Ceres will contain the least content - this will be (pretty much) the API version of Eris - and will only include jokers/tarots/planets etc for the most basic additions.

I invisage this working in a way that you can have Eris and not worry about missing any additions, or you can have Planet X for more tame additions, then have Ceres for a slightly modded experience.

These mods have not yet been started. I will "declare" them to Lovely/SMODS but until there is an Eris stable version, these will not be developed.

#

Additionally, there will be an Eris dev release soon - be warned as this only includes the new "Mixed Bag" poker hand plus the "mixed joker" (Jolly equivalent), and a testing Jimbo you can use to get to high antes fast without debug tools if you so wish.
