i made Balatro but HORROR for a Challenge
https://www.youtube.com/watc...Hey! Hope you guys enjoyed this little side project. I'm super thankful I got the opportunity to work on this project. Thank you blackthornprod and Thijs for inviting me! I want to give a big shoutout to Dr. Andrew Wedgebury. A lot of the ideas in this video are based on his fantastic article Designing Horror Through Potential. I’m using it as a reference and a learning tool as I try to design this Balatro Horror game.
