One year ago I was preparing to publish my weird little game on Steam and look for an IT job again. I made the store page live in May and was expecting to sell maybe 10 copies It’s been a crazy year. So grateful I get to do what I love as a career now

Loved the video on this - a problem that is frustrating as the creator of Balatro but is also very interesting as a game designer and exposes the potential knock-on effects of a seemingly simple or obvious design change GMTK did a really great job summarizing the issue

Happy April! Who has time for jokes with all these games to play? Here are the top played games of March 2024 on Steam Deck, sorted by playtime.
For the big upcoming balance patch I thought I’d share one really important tweak: Odd Todd now gives +31 chips per odd ranked card instead of +30 chips
Was a ton of fun to be on @eggplantshow to talk about Balatro! The wonderful hosts and eggplant community had so many awesome questions, it was really great diving deep on the design of the game. Give it a listen! -> eggplant.show/136-going-in-b…
Even though “Balatro” is a unique name there is someone using that name for their TTRPG business, so here’s a long overdue shoutout! If you’re a D&D fan, check out @Balatro_DnD, battle map maker and creator of Ida’s Guide: A player handbook and adventure supplement for D&D!

‘Ah yes, Balatro is a roguelike deckbuilder’ I say as I check the box on Steam for each tag, blindly ignorant of what either term means or the blood that has been spilled trying to define them

The 3rd letter of my last name is a capital "i."@LocalThunk You deserve it dude. Thanks for making a dope game and taking that leap. It's changed a lot of people's lives and made a huge impact on the indie gaming space. Will always be my goty.
@LocalThunk Around here we respect a great Roguelike made with an amazing UI and a lot of heart
@LocalThunk It's been a roller coaster of a year! Been a pleasure to share so much of the ride with you <3
I get married next Thursday. I picked up my wedding liscene today. I backlogged three weeks of maps to auto post for my honeymoon. It’s coming together! One of the maps is inspired by our venue and I timed it to post during my vows. 🥰
@LocalThunk well deserved. now make balatro 2 /s
@LocalThunk You've done such a good job, massive congrats!
@LocalThunk I like to think I'd have owned one of the 10 copies! 😝 Congrats man, so well deserved!

again reiterating that the memes about "yandev if statements" ended up poisoning the minds of a bunch of beginner programmers into thinking if statements are bad and being overly focused on writing stuff "the correct way" instead of "getting shit done"
@LocalThunk I'll have to take you up on this since I didn't see of this stuff on the LOVE website -- not that it sounds complicated, but it just sort of proves my point about a lot of assumed knowledge with these different frameworks.
@LocalThunk Yeah, I was talking about it on stream earlier and everyone has their opinion on the best place to start, but so many of them have multiple starting points each and varying approaches so it quickly becomes a turnoff not know where to "just start".
@LocalThunk Pretty much where I'm at mentally. Looking at a few languages and frameworks and the first one to get me up and running quickly has been Godot so I'm going with that. They stressed how transferable skills will be and it's truly been a beginner approach so far.
I’m late to the game but balatro is good :)
Should Balatro simply preview what score you'll get for each hand, all calculations provided? It's a really interesting design problem where giving us all of the info probably sucks some of the fun out of it. But to min/max, better get the calculator out.
Loved the video on this - a problem that is frustrating as the creator of Balatro but is also very interesting as a game designer and exposes the potential knock-on effects of a seemingly simple or obvious design change GMTK did a really great job summarizing the issue
