Balatro Joins the Scriptorium! Jimbo Arrives in Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts With Some Very Special Requests…

Look, dear scribe, upon our latest customer! Jimbo, the mischievous Joker from Balatro, has arrived in Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts with some very special commissions and a host of Balatro-flavoured extras for budding scribes to illustrate majestic card designs.

Available now as a free title update, Jimbo awaits in Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts’ Story Mode with his very own illustrative requests. Create a unique Joker card from front to back, and design a ship capable of sailing through towns and villages in all-new commissions to celebrate Jimbo's arrival.

Create your own card designs with a range of new in-game assets. Use card-sized parchments to create medieval jokers and illustrious card designs, and export your works of art as PNG files to print your very own pack of cards!

Along with the new Balatro content, today’s free update introduces a range of new features and quality of life improvements to Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts. The new Sandbox Gallery improves the management and organisation of your Sandbox Mode creations, while the introduction of a Transparent Background Export lets players freely export their artworks for tabletop RPG maps, props, icons, posters, and any other hobbyist, non-commercial projects that you can think of.

Over 200+ new drawable assets also make their debut, with new backgrounds, frames, parchments, clothes, beasts, shapes, and animals (including the iconic Traveling Frog and Pigeon from Inkulinati) all added to the asset library. Create beautiful and bizarre medieval works of art, with more design options than ever before.

Real-world guest stars join as clients with their own custom illustrative requests, too, including some familiar faces that historians and medieval aficionados may recognise… For the full list of features and improvements in today’s update, head over to Steam.

Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts is available now on Steam for £12.99 GBP // $14.99 USD // €14.99 EUR, with a 20% discount available for a limited time.
