Hi folks!!
I'm super excited for today's update, so let's jump straight into it!
Introducing the new Balatro-themed map!
In other words, Rusty's Jimbo's Retirement!
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!
How does it work?
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.
Create a new savefile to access the new farm!
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.
My little brother made a game all by himself!
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

That's it for today folks, I hope you enjoy the new Balatro map!
