Yes! But it's an adaptation. If memory serves, there are no characters or stories in the book because it is presented as a scientific textbook. It's just filled with facts about gnomes and beautiful cut away illustrations.

Oh, yeah. I hate grippers now. Grippers is so kloggo these days.

Yeah, I love grippers!

Absolutely!

If we are all playing as Dr. Frankenstein maybe rather than looking at "trees" to define structure looking at the nervous system or circulatory system would be fun? Veins and capillaries? Maybe end caps? I don't know

Regardless, I am looking forward to this and I am sure it will be a ton of fun.

It's not great for clarity or brevity but it could be fun to lean into the theming? Maybe like Butchered Bits, Hallowed Ends, Mortal Instruments? Vessels? Forms? Animations? Terminal Remain?

Is there a grave robbing aspect to this game?

I'd probably go with:
SOCKETS: the attachment point.
JOINTS: the limb/elbow card.
LIMB: the array of cards attached to a core socket.
EXTREMITY: the terminal card of a limb.

Another route: name them based on what they do in game. i.e. Combat Cards, Manipulators, Cash Grabbers

This is the remake we deserved!

Yes!! I can't wait for the full puppet/practical effects version of Star Fox!!

Also, if things don't work out with your game "Balatro x Fortnite." Please let me know if you will be available to work on my next next project "Balatro's Gate 3" we could really use your help!!

No worries, every publisher who is serious about making money and making "The Next Balatro" has already booked several meals with me and sent care packages to my hotel. Best of luck with your passion project.
March 14, 2025 at 4:39 AM
Same! I don't have a pass and will mostly be doing press stuff in hotels nearby. But I'll for sure hang out in the park and be attending social events.

A publisher would have to be extremely foolish to pass up the opportunity to publish both versions of "The Next Balatro."
March 14, 2025 at 1:31 AM
Whoa whoa! Your game is also called "The Next Balatro?" Wtf?!? I have spent hours laboring/toiling on this brilliant title. How could someone else be making a game with the same name?!??!!

All I'm saying is if a publisher is really serious about making "The Next Balatro" they would make a reservation for our meeting at Benu. Then I would know they are the right publisher for "The Next Balatro."
March 14, 2025 at 1:06 AM
Very acceptable. A brunch meeting at Mel's Diner would let me know that a publisher is SERIOUS about making "The Next Balatro"
March 14, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Ok, fine... I am willing to take a meeting at a medium priced brunch location but you must let me order the second most expensive dish on the menu.(I'm not a monster)
