Hi folks!!
I'm super excited for today's update, so let's jump straight into it!
The new map has complete character swaps, new houses, and a brand-new mechanic: harvesting crops spawns poker cards that can be played for spare parts.
Just like in the previous crossover, I wanted to take a specific mechanic from Balatro and try to squeeze it into Rusty's. I had to do something with poker cards and the joker effects!
Normally, when you harvest a crop, you are rewarded with a small amount of spare parts instantly.
Now, when you harvest a crop, those spare parts are automatically played in a poker hand, and the joker will apply its effect to the result.
It's pretty OP, so we had to adjust some prices from the normal base game.
I'm super pleased with how this collab turned out, especially with how the poker mechanics are implemented into the game ːorange_heartː
If you haven't played Balatro yet, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It is truly one of a kind, and it actually has nothing to do with gambling (if you were worried about that!)
If you own Rusty, you can get an additional -10% off of Balatro, and vice-versa.
Okay okay, I might have helped here and there with a few things but he did do like 95% of the work! I'm very impressed with how fast he picked up coding in Unity's game engine, plus the visuals look absolutely amazing - it really makes you want to decorate.
Skatehouse is a simplified version of a shop simulator with some idle mechanics. It's his first game, and I'd really appreciate it if you showed him some love and checked it out ːorange_heartː
Proud big brother moment!!
That's it for today folks, I hope you enjoy the new Balatro map!
