Balatro was created by an anonymous solo developer known as LocalThunk, who is based in Saskatchewan, Canada. He developed the game as a passion project, initially intending it to be a small game shared with friends. Despite its success, LocalThunk remains largely anonymous and prefers to work in a style that gives him creative freedom.
