In case you missed out, a buddy of mine (who wants to remain anonymous) and I made a small mod for Balatro. A Sonic X themed one, where it is based off the real life playing cards. 

This idea came up pretty recently. I heard about a convention in town, and a few Sonic X VA’s were showing up. I was thinking what to bring, and then I found out that there was a playing card set based off Sonic X. (Don’t ask the price) So I got them for them to sign. But while prepping, I also realize that this is a golden opportunity to make a Balatro set based off this deck of cards. 

I scanned the cards, used Procreate to edit out the background stuff, and used Pixaki to recreate those grid like things the cards had. And once that was done, I got the profiles onto the cards. Took a bit of time, but got them done. And as for the decks, similar thing. Looked up Sonic X media and card covers and edited them for the decks. With that, the mod is done. 

I am no pixel art expert, so if you’re wondering why they are cut out, it’s exactly that. Maybe I’ll find someone who is a pixel art expert and do it for me. But I imagine it’ll be pricey so that’ll be a while. If anyone is interested in doing it themselves, I’m fine with that as long as you give me credit. As for any updates, I have no plans for that. This isn’t like Balatro X Sonic where there is room to grow. Unless you don’t mind adding stuff from there to here. 

Speaking of which, I’m sure some of you were wondering where Balatro X Sonic 2.0 is. I’ll admit, I’ve distracted with other projects, as you can no doubt tell. But that doesn’t mean progress is not happening. Progress is going very well. Just got a good chunk of content left to work on. I don’t wanna share too much, since I wanna leave it all a surprise. I also don’t wanna make dates cause I’m very bad at that. But if all goes well, it should be done in June or July. I better not jinx myself. 

I’m doing it all by myself keep in mind. I would hire people but I don’t have the budget for that. But rest assured, things are going well. I promise not to keep you guys waiting long. Hopefully this update helps put those fears to rest. Until then, enjoy the Sonic X mod!
