Since Balatro explodes in popularity in the last year or roughly, one of the biggest mysteries about the development and the game of the game is the one that has yet to be resolved: just who is the programmer of Localskk?
Well, if you especially want to find out, we would ask you to check your expectations. According to an interview with the PlayStacka Wout Van Halderen Playstack Director PC playerThe decision of Localthunk's to remain anonymous was not out of some desire to consciously play mysteries and mischievous game, but so it can simply leave alone to work on development.
“I think his anonymity at some point became a story, because people thought he was trying to pull Banksy and be, like, this anonymous developer, but that's not the reason he did it. He just wanted to be left alone to make his game and live his life.”
It's not like Localskink remained completely out of the spotlight. He recently announced a full breakdown of the game development via blog, opening his struggle for mental health and pure delight he felt when the game triggered criticism.
The point is that it doesn't sound like we'll find out who Localskunk is soon. Balatro's development remains ongoing, and the latest update contains crossover with Assassin's Creed,, Relegation,, Civilizationand more. We are pretty happy that Localskunk is in peace if that means we will get even more content in the coming months.
