Hi everyone!! its been a while, but the changes and additions have not stopped!

FIRST!

I managed to get my recycled cards working. they give you $2 at the end of round, and disable interest at the end of the round, both conditions are triggered if its theyre in your hand. Now, the interest thing was the hard part here. Balatro, had no way of doing this prior, so my prime solution was to basically

• Save the interest in a temporary variable
• Set the interest to 0
• Add an event to the event manager’s queue that, in 5 seconds from it being added, would set the interest to the temporary variable

Are there bugs that I would rather not find? Probably. But does it work? ABSOLUTELY! So no complaints from me

SECOND!

Now, I don’t consider myself a miracle worker, but when everything hits the fan, do most developers consider rewriting an entire piece of the base game to confirm to one set of cards? Well, I am. It’s grueling, the base game has alot of specificity that i need to cover perfectly, but its all in the goal of the third thing..

THE HOST CARDS!

I got my first one of these beautiful babies to kick in this stretch of time. its perfect, theres still issues to grind up, as always, but im very very happy with my progress so far. Stay tuned, for im just getting started >:3

ALOT of things i made today! welcome to my cool awesome devlog. so today i made the rot cards, which was a really cool adventure as i made a dynamic sort of shader for them, which changed their appearance depending on the suit of the card! I also made some more common jokers and such, worked on refining alot of text to make it more clear, and more. Alot of very great work done today!

today was a very, very art heavy day. got alot of art done, but I also wrote effects in the loc file, fixed some bugs, and started work on a couple things. overall, pretty productive.

most of my work so far has been toiling away on bugfixing, i left this in a very poor state last time. I also added a few new features and ive been trying to get one particular thing working but it seems to really really hate me right now. Ill keep it posted… so far though, ive really been getting into it, so hopefully i can make this a smash hit!

alot of my time today so far has been spent readying my codebase for the new host cards! this is a piece of a way bigger update and I cant wait for everybody to see the work ill do!
