100% Orange Juice News

We're excited to announce another huge content update for 100% Orange Juice!

First and foremost, as legally obligated by our shareholders, version 4.0 adds the much requested Battle Royale mode to 100% Orange Juice!!

Up to 256 players can compete in a no-holds-barred race for being the first to reach the final Norma!


We're hyped to announce that 100% Orange Juice - The Movie is coming soon to cinemas near you! This is an extended 6-hour Poppo Cut of the critically acclaimed feature film "Poppo March" lovingly remastered for IMAX and 4DX and featuring all-new content including a long-awaited appearance by the elusive Shroppo!


New event combining a Valentine's Event and Pigformation is now live, allowing players to spread the good cheer of Pigformation! All Flying Red Barrels begin the event with the blessing of 'Pigformation' which can only be lifted by KO'ing another unaffected unit. The KO'd unit in turn becomes permanently Pigformed until it KOs another unit to pass on the blessing! In addition, Feed appears randomly on panels and can be collected by walking through them. Feed can be used in the Shop to directly give the blessing of Pigformation to your units that do not yet have it.


Owners of 100% Orange Juice on any platform now have access to a mysterious bonus character called "Kai" in 100% Orange Juice! He can be selected as one of the starter characters or purchased in the Shop later.

[h2]New Languages Supported![/h2]
We're happy to announce the addition of official support for 102 new languages to 100% Orange Juice! Going forward, all language options other than Japanese will be provided via Google Translate for the benefit of the highest number of players possible! With the new approach, we're also able to fully dub the game into all 109 supported languages via a revolutionary Text-to-Speech feature! To beta test the new features, click here.

[h2]Other Changes[/h2]

• You can now pet the dog in 100% Orange Juice, and give her pudding.
  
• Landing on a Boss panel will sometimes no longer result in a fight as all the bosses have taken anger management classes and are handling things in healthier ways now.
  
• Added safety rails for panels to prevent units under the effect of Freeze panels or BanaNana from falling into the endless abyss.
  
• Due to new game rating guidelines, all Flying Red Barrel characters have been changed to bottles of their respective beverages to remain compliant. This change is only visual and does not affect gameplay.
  
• The Waruda have vandalized the lobby avatar frames again, and the city put out a bidding competition for their repairs. Team Poppo won the bid promising to do it for 0 stars, and will be visiting all avatar frames soon to fix them. They've asked players to collect all their valuables in one place so they do not get any paint on them.
  

[h2]Balance[/h2]

• Limited Serious Battle to Max 1.
  
• Lowered the cost of Deploy Bits from 20 to 10.
  
• Lowered the cost of Dark Side of Business from 10 to 5.
  
• Buffed Krila's unit name to Krilalaris.
  
• Changed how Scrambled Eve functions. New description: All players return their hand to the deck, and the deck is shuffled. After 3 chapters, all players draw as many cards as they discarded from this effect.
  
• Changed the effect of Princess' Privilege. New effect: If holding more 3 or more cards, discard all cards in your hand and draw 3 cards. If Princess's Privilege is the only card you are holding, draw 3 cards. Can only be used when holding more than 1 and less than 3 cards in your hand.
  
• Changed the effect of Heat 300%. New effect: Stock Effect(1): In the next battle, gain -2 DEF.
  
• Maynie: Fighting a Boss under the effect of Raging Madness now ends the battle and the unit is referred to an anger management class for 3 chapters.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a bug where playing as Chef would sometimes display as Chris outside of battles.
  
• Fixed the visual appearance of Alicianrone, who no longer wears shoes on her feet alone but also on her hands and head.

Ever found yourself hoping for an Orange Juice-themed physical board game? Your wish has been heard!

We're most excited to announce a collaboration with Level 99 Games to bring you Bullet🍊, an expansion to the fast-paced 1-4 player bullet hell-themed Bullet♥︎, featuring Suguri, Sora, QP and Marc as new heroines!

Bullet🍊 is now available for pre-order, and all pre-orders will give you a bonus Acceleration of SUGURI 2 Steam key as well!

Do note that this expansion requires Bullet♥︎ to play (sold separately).

You can also try the game and new expansion in the official Tabletop Simulator version to get a feel for it!

The Community Card Pack 3 art contest is over!

This time around we had a record number of submissions - 188 in total, over 30 more than for last community pack! Thus it was even harder to pick the winners out of so many great submissions!

We put together a large panel of judges combined from Fruitbat Factory and Orange Juice, and gave everyone a difficult task: choose your Top 10 entries for each card, and rank them in order. 10-20 points were then given to every card based on the every judge's ranking (with a baseline of 10 points to cards not selected for top 10 to avoid a single vote swinging things too much).

A common sentiment was that even selecting top 10 out of the submissions for each card was difficult, but this gave a sense of fairness to the results which were a combination of everyone's opinions.

It was a close race to the finish for most cards, so although only one art could win, we want to showcase the top 3 for each. In addition, we're giving a special shout-out to an "Editor's Pick" for each card category for a card that received several top votes for their unique qualities but didn't end up making it to the top in the total scoring.

With the scores tallied, we finally had our results, so without further ado... the winners!

You can click each art to see the full entry on the Steam Artwork Section.

Congratulations to all contestants and especially the winners!

We will be getting in touch with the artists to confirm how you wish to be credited ingame - if possible, we ask winners to message PhleBuster on the Fruitbat Factory Discord server or Steam directly.

While it's impossible that everyone's favorite won, we hope many artists will add their works on Steam Workshop once the cards are added to the game, so that all fans can use their favorite artworks!
p.s. We encourage doing this for past content entries as well!

Look forward to the cards being added to the game soon!
