LocalThunk, creator of the indie roguelike Balatro, used the game's second anniversary to publish a heartfelt post reflecting on his time at university and the impact of poor grades on his life. In the update, he also reassured players that development on the promised 1.1 update is still underway.

  • Anniversary post: The developer marked two years since Balatro's release with a personal blog entry rather than a conventional progress report.
  • Personal reflections: LocalThunk spoke openly about university experiences and struggling with disappointing grades, framing them as part of his journey.
  • Update status: He confirmed that work on the 1.1 update has not been abandoned and that development continues.
  • Indie success: Balatro remains a noted indie roguelike, and the developer’s message underscores the small-team reality of juggling personal life with post-launch support.
