100% Orange Juice News

Our 2 Million Download festivities continue with the Community Card Pack 4 Art Contest!

We've chosen 6 new card concepts that fit together into a community card pack, and then consulted Orange Juice about fitting concepts for them. Now we're happy to announce the launch of the Community Card Pack 4 Art Contest!

The art contest will be live until July 12, 2023

Like before, art can be submitted for any number of cards and any number of times.

IMPORTANT CHANGE: Submissions must both be posted in the Artwork section of the steam hub with the tag #100OJcommunitypack and the name of the Card they are meant for, AND e-mailed to [email protected].

The email must include the following:

• Subject: 100% Orange Juice Community Card Pack Contest
  
• Name of the card the entry is meant for.
  
• Link to Steam Artwork section entry.
  
• Desired name to be credited in-game and on social media in case of a win.
  
• Full quality art, plus 2 in-progress versions of the art (or alternatively, a .PSD with several layers to similar effect).

This change is both due to the unreliability of the Artwork section in displaying all the entries, and to allow us to confirm no entry is AI generated.

The winning entries will be used on the cards, and we will work with Orange Juice to provide flavor texts to match the artwork. Finally, the new Community Card Pack will be released as a free update for everyone to play with!

In addition, the winner of each category will receive the Contest Winner and Contributor in-game pins. Please note the theme listed on each card. This should be used as a general direction for the art. Full rules for the contest can be found at the end of the post.

[h2]Disclaimer[/h2]
By submitting an Entry, the Entrant grants Fruitbat Factory, Ltd a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free worldwide license under all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights to use, publish, distribute, copy, modify, translate, create derivative works based upon, make available and otherwise exploit such Entry.

We hope to see many cool artworks again! Remember that with the addition of Steam WorkShop support, it will be easier than ever for all entries to be added to the game, whether they win or not, and we encourage creators to list their works there once the cards have been added!

Thank you everyone who participated in our Unconventional Art Contest! It was fun to do something different, and we received some very imaginative entries! The judging was very tricky, but in the end winners emerged!

Many of the entries included more footage than we can easily present here, so we've chosen just 1 image to represent them. We encourage all participants to also share their works on social media!

The prizes:

• 1st place: Plushie of your choice + in-game contest winner pin!
  
• 2nd-3rd place: Plushie of your choice!
  
• 4th-10th place: Fruitbat Factory game or DLC of choice (some restrictions apply)

The winners will be e-mailed about their prize (if you win, you can also reply to your entry email to speed it up).

Without further ado, let's get to the winners! We are showcasing or linking to them the best we can, despite all the different formats.

Congratulations to all the winners! And big thanks to everyone who worked hard to participate this time around! We hope to run more cool contests like this in the future.

As part of the 2 Million Download festivities, we're happy to announce a new kind of community fan art contest that's open to everyone!

This time we're not looking for drawn art, but... anything else! Handicraft, music, live performances, animation, sculptures - if you think it's art, it passes!

The arts will all be judged in 3 separate categories:

• Outside of the Box (thinking)
  
• Best Integration of Oranges
  
• Inspirational

Entries won't need to be submitted to any particular category, and it will be up to the judges to pick which ones are the best fit for each.

Since this contest is meant for any art that would not fit our traditional fan art contests, we are not accepting digital illustrations or illustrations drawn on paper this time.

We hope to see some fun entries with this new contest format!

The art contest is now open until May 31, 23:59 PST.


10 entries will win in each category!

• 1st place: Plushie of your choice + in-game contest winner pin!
  
• 2nd-3rd place: Plushie of your choice!
  
• 4th-10th place: Fruitbat Factory game or DLC of choice (some restrictions apply)

Art can be submitted any number of times.

Important disclaimer: AI generated submissions are not accepted in any category. Such entries will be disqualified, and if a winning entry was found to be created using AI afterwards, the placement will be revoked.

• Create a new piece of artwork (“Entry”) that you feel fits the game 100% Orange Juice.
  
• Submission period: Until May 31 2023 23:59 PST.
  
• Entries or a link to them must be emailed to [email protected] with the header "100% Orange Juice 2M Art Contest Submission"!
  
• Entries must be original and not contain any copyrighted material and must be suitable to view for audiences of all ages.
  
• Multiple Entries are permitted, but only one Entry from a single contestant may be selected as a winning piece in any category.
  
• Fruitbat Factory will pick the winners at their discretion.
  
• Less than 10 entries may win in a category if there aren't sufficient high quality entries.
  
• AI generated submissions are not accepted in any category. Such entries will be disqualified, and if a winning entry was found to be created using AI afterwards, the placement will be revoked.

Welcome to the festivities! We're happy to announce a big celebration for 100% Orange Juice hitting 2 million game + DLC downloads thanks to all of your support!

During the 1 million download celebration we added a free new unit, Mio, to the game, and... you guessed it!

A new unit, Mio (Festive) is now available to all owners of Mio! To unlock her, you need to have played 5 games as Mio, and then clear the new Extra Mission, "Secret Santa", on normal or higher difficulty, while playing as Mio.

Izawa Shiori (Nanachi in "Made in Abyss", Pochita in "Chainsaw Man", Kafuru in "Senran Kagura") reprises her role as the wonderful voice for Mio (Festive)!

Her hyper is illustrated by Senca, and special card by Yulay Devlet!

Please enjoy getting rowdy with her!


As the second major announcement, all character voices are now available for free to all players!

You no longer need to own the DLC to enjoy the characters' banter, even if you only own the base game and nothing more! This is something we've wanted to do for a long time to make the experience better for everyone, and after a lot of thought it's finally been implemented!



All base game's character announcers are also available for everyone, to give you a wide selection of great announcers! DLC characters' announcer voices are only available for owners of the DLC (apart from free character rotation).

As a result, we are retiring the following 3 DLC from the Steam store:

• Starter Character Voice Pack
  
• Core Voice Pack 1
  
• Core Voice Pack 2

While you can no longer buy these 3 DLC soon (currently pending Steam removal), they continue giving direct unlock of the characters whose voices they contain, which otherwise can be unlocked by playing normally. In addition, to compensate everyone who's bought these DLC over the years, each of the DLC gives their owner a consumable item (so up to 3 total for owners of all DLC), which can be exchanged for either 500 oranges or 10.000 stars each in the in-game Shop!

Please note that there's a limit of 999 Oranges and 99.999 Stars that can held at once, so as to not waste your tokens!

In addition, the Game of the Year Every Year Edition has been updated to contain Pudding Pack, Breaker Pack and Wanderer Pack instead of the 3 voice packs, keeping its nominal value the same.


To further improve the experience for all new players, we've added new default plate color options!

In addition, the base character color packs have been removed from the store, and are instead now available by default on all characters!


To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're announcing 2 separate contests!

[h2]1 - Unconventional Art Contest![/h2]

Introducing a different kind of art contest! This time we're not looking for drawn art, but... anything else! Handicraft, music, live performances, sculptures - if you think it's art, it passes!

The arts will all be judged in 3 separate categories:

• Outside of the Box (thinking)
  
• Best Integration of Oranges
  
• Inspirational

The winner of each category receives the Contest Winner in-game pin. The 1st to 3rd place winners in each category receive a plushie of their choice, and 4th to 10th place will receive a Fruitbat Factory game or DLC of their choice!

The competition is live immediately, and until the end of May! You can find full details on the separate contest announcement.

Submissions can be e-mailed to [email protected] with the header "100% Orange Juice 2M Art Contest Submission"!

[h2]2 - Community Card Pack Art Contest![/h2]

We will be gathering submissions for a new Community Card Pack! This contest will go live in June, after the first art competition has ended. Competitors will be given the names and effects of upcoming cards, and are invited to come up with art that would fit them. Then cards are given flavor texts based on the winning art, and added to the game.

We can't thank you enough for your continued support! This is only the beginning of the festivities for the upcoming year, as we also have some big anniversaries coming up, and we plan to run more fun contests for them!
