Important Information

[trim jetty]

The dev forum is for the developers and screeners of the Cryptid mod to ask the community for help implementing content for the mod.

They will routinely submit a few already approved ideas for the mod, either from the CSL, the old CMC sheet or others from the pre-CSL era as threads here, requesting for art, code, music or other resources to be made. After all, approved suggestions are but ideas on paper and in our heads, they require flesh and bones to see the world for themselves.

This is voluntary contribution, you will of course be credited and thanked for providing resources for Cryptid, the reward is having the thing be implemented :p

In order to focus attention on the most high priority features, as well as preventing this from becoming #1264608534864068620 part 2, only admins/screeners may make posts here. Populating the forum until it reaches the threshold of 5 features that requires code or art, then circulating them as they're being done.

Use tags as appropriate:
Coding Needed - Self explanatory, there are some subcategories to the coding tag to indicate its difficulty of implementation. Programmers, take up tasks of a skill level you're comfortable with.

(Coding exclusive) Standard - Features that use mechanics that already exist, and aren’t much more than punching in values and properties. Should take only several minutes to program.
Examples include: Negative Joker, Triplet Rhythm, Consume-able

(Coding exclusive) Experimentative - Features that have unique interactions with game mechanics, and may require a specific interaction to be programmed to function, something that goes beyond just values and properties.
Examples include: Jimball, Membership Card, ERROR

(Coding exclusive) Boundary Pushing - Features that require entire mechanics to be built/remade from the ground up, or influences fundamental mechanics of Balatro in some way. Requires significant effort and is considered “Big content”
Examples include: RNJoker, Double-Sided, the D20 content set

Art needed - Features that need art. Most Jokers needs a white border and the "Joker" overlay at the sides but not all of them, they may have specification requests; Blind art may not always be up to interpretation etc. If the creator/screeners have directions, its a good idea to ask/listen to it before drawing anything.

Music needed - Features that need music, same as above. Creator/screeners may have requests.

Other - Features that require resources not included in the above tags.

Lastly, please ping screeners when you're contributing to any of the categories of the feature. This is to provide communication on who's working on what, preventing multiple people to be unknowingly working on the same feature, then coming up with conflicts later.

Also, this doesnt mean you cant make art/code/resources for anything else, these are just the high priority features decided by the developers/screeners. Don't worry, your efforts on other features won't be made in vain.
