Outer Wildcards
A downloadable Texture Pack

v1.0.0
- ABOUT -
Outer Wildcards is a Texture Pack for Balatro, themed around Outer Wilds
IMPORTANT: Outer Wilds is an extremely spoiler sensitive game, so if you have not played it, I encourage you to give it a try before engaging with this pack. These cards contain spoilers for both the base game and DLC.
That being said:
This pack comes in 2 versions:
- The Full version, which contains all the available changes
- A Reduced version, which aims to be less intrusive and focus more centrally on planet cards.
There will also be a third release for Malverk compatibility, but that is still a work in progress (sorry)
Be sure to follow the itch.io page to be notified when that releases
- CHANGES -
The following are only the changes included in both pack versions:
- Each planet card (including black hole) has been changed to an astral body from Outer Wilds
- The Celestial Packs have been changed to feature art of the Travellers
- Custom Outer Wilds club face cards and ace have been added
The following are only the changes included in the Full version:
- Celestial Packs have been renamed to Wilderness Packs
- Meteor Tags have been changed to Campfire Tags
- Subtle tweaks have been made to High Priestess, Trance, Blue Seal, and Orbital Tag
- The Vouchers Telescope and Observatory have been resprited
- The following jokers have been resprited:
Supernova, Space Joker, Constellation, Rocket, Obelisk, Campfire, Satellite, Astronomer, Burnt Joker

- CREDITS -
All art in this pack was created by me using Aseprite
I'd also like to shoutout NataKilar for making Balatro Wilds, a very similar project. It didn't inspire my project, since I didn't know it existed until someone on reddit told me about it, but it still feels fitting to include them ::). I also stole the legal sentence at the bottom of this About from them, because I haven't read the Mobius Digital Fan Content Policy and I don't want to.

is there perchance a version that is just the suit skin? I love the rest don’t get me wrong but for more casually gameplay I would love to use the suit skin.
Hello, Creature!
I'm no modder, but I managed to get the mod to work with Malverk on my own! It's not perfect (and I had to cannibalize a lot of code from other mods), but it's functional, and I figure that's what matters.
Would you want me to send you the mod files, or would you prefer to make your own version? Sorry if that's a weird question, heh.
Hi The Creature:
I have made a bunch of modifications on my local copy of your mod that I think you should have: Including but not limited to translating it to spanish (both text and textures) and making it compatible with the Aura mod (the one that adds animations to a bunch of cards) by animating all the planet cards and three of the jokers (Constelation, Space and Astronomer). Here are gifs of the planets and constelation as proof (I would also add the space and astronomer, but they have multilayer animations that look perfect in game but can't be easily exported into gifs)
How can I contact you to give you all the files?
Oh my goodness, these look fantastic! I'd love to know how you got these to work with Aura- I managed to get this mod to work with Malverk, but I'm far from a good modder and I don't think I'd have the patience for an undertaking like this lmao
I would be glad to teach you, it is not that hard. My discord profile is pesadilla001, so I cand give you the code as an example. And as a shameless plug for any third party reading, I have added a bunch of new animations to the aura mod and tweaked the existing ones, you can find them on the pull request tab on Aura’s mod git page.
It's been almost two years since I played Outer Wilds, and seeing how good this looks now is just... breathtaking.
I hope you do well on your exams and end up implementing Malverk compatibility so we can use the best mod (yes, this one) alongside other minor ones, and also merge the colorblind seals you fixed in a response into the main branch.
Thank you so much, this mod is beautiful.
Any chance for malverk version?
really sorry about the wait for that! ive been busy with exams and havent had motivation to work on it for a long while. Schedules clearing up soon though so hopefully ill be able to get everything working
Don't worry. It's okay, I'm just being curious. Take your time and good luck with your exams!!!!!
Would it be possible to make a version of the blue seal with the eye of the universe in the shape of the colorblind seals mod?

if you need help dm me on discord (lucithecreature)
Absolutely beautiful pack.
I specially love the nods to making Ceres and Eris, the Stranger and the Quantum Moon.
Just spotted that one of the jumbo packs has the wrong name on it !!!! i’m currently away from home but i’ll release a new version on monday
FIXED
