在Balatro的开发期间，Local Thunk没有玩任何Roguelike游戏...除了杀死尖顶

Balatro开发人员本地Thunk最近在其个人博客上分享了一个有趣的开发历史。令人惊讶的是，他们在Balatro创作期间透露了最少的Roguelike游戏曝光，这是一个例外。

他们的发展时间表指出了2021年12月的有意识的决定，以停止演奏Roguelikes。 Thunk解释说，这并不是要改善游戏，而是要接受实验游戏设计的固有乐趣。目的是犯错，重新发明轮子，避免直接从既定的设计中借来。 While this approach might have yielded a less polished game, it prioritized the joy of the creative process.

However, a year and a half later, Thunk broke their self-imposed rule, downloading Slay the Spire .他们的反应？ A simple, emphatic, "Holy shit. Now that is a game."

The reason for this indulgence? Thunk was troubleshooting controller implementation in Balatro and sought inspiration from Slay the Spire 's card game controls.结果？ A complete immersion in the game, narrowly avoiding subconscious design mimicry.

Thunk's post-mortem offers other intriguing insights. The game's initial working folder was named "CardGame," a label that inexplicably persisted. The working title, for a significant portion of development, was "Joker Poker."

Several scrapped features are also detailed, including:

• 与超级自动宠物相似的唯一角色进展方法，该系统是卡片升级的唯一方法。
• A separate in-game currency for rerolls.
• A "golden seal" mechanic that returned played cards to the hand after skipping all blinds.

The number of Jokers in the final game, 150, stems from a humorous miscommunication with publisher Playstack. Thunk initially proposed 120, but a later discussion resulted in a revised count of 150, which Thunk ultimately preferred.

Finally, the origin of the developer name "Local Thunk" is revealed. It's a programming-related inside joke stemming from a conversation with their partner learning R programming. The combination of Lua's "local" keyword and their partner's variable naming preference, "thunk," led to the memorable handle.

Thunk的博客文章提供了有关Balatro开发的大量其他信息。 Ign全心全意地同意，授予该游戏9/10，并称赞它是“无休止令人满意的比例的甲板建造者，这是一种乐趣，威胁着整个周末的计划，因为您醒着太晚了，凝视着一个杰斯特（Jester）的眼睛，让您又吸引了您，再一次奔跑。”
