Juice Galaxy News & Patch Notes

Juice Galaxy 0.2.16 ~ 🚗 Automobiles, QoL, and Bugfixes 🐛

Hello! I hope 2026 is going well for you all. This update reinstates the ould Automobile enemy, and brings a number of miscellaneous fixes and improvements to the game.

The Automobile is a derpy car enemy that roams the hillside out past Monster Level 10. It was an important part of Juice Galaxy back when it was still called Juice World, and just fell by the wayside as I focused on other areas of the game. I'm happy it's back, and I have some pretty funky ideas for it in the future.

In addition, I did some GUI work and random bugfixes that had been bothering me for a while. There is still plenty more to polish, but I will probably focus on doing something more flashy for next update!

## \ ### Added - Reinstated Automobile monster, gave it funky colors - 'Continue' button has been added to main menu - Loading Screen now displays random tips while loading ### Changed - Items use continuous collision, to avoid falling through ground - GUI crosshair now hides when you are in dialog or cutscenes ### Fixed - Hats now scale properly on head when head size != 1 - Gator mouth self-intersection during chomp - Player camera clips through walls much less - Stats window lag when stats are absurdly high - Swirly D now makes proper eye-contact during his scene - Harsh clicking noise removed from GUI sounds

Juice Galaxy 0.2.15 test ~ Destructible Planetoids

Hello! This is a spooky update for Halloween, that adds three new items:

The Boltergeist
Witch Hat
Witch Broom

The Witch items spawn normally, but to get the Boltergeist, you must have completed the Dream Eater quest.

The Boltergeist

Their light wrung out, endless fear twisted the shadow's dreamers into shades themselves.

The Boltergeist is a bottle of evil souls that can be freed to terrorize your foes. The ghosts have their own new mechanic where they pass through enemies, damaging and pushing them. They can even go through walls, which may be a little overpowered at points in the game.

The cork of the bottle also shoots out and does massive damage.

Witch Broom and Hat

The witch items are simply cool new floppy items with no special effects. I'd like to set them up to buff your spells in the future though.

Changelog:

## \ ### Added - Witch Hat - Witch Broom - Boltergeist ### Changed - Stinger Missile Launcher now fires repeatedly

Hi everyone! In light of the recently discovered Unity vulnerability, this is a quick rebuild of the game using the latest 2021 LTS version of Unity, which has been patched to fix the vulnerability. The demo and Itch.io version has also been rebuilt.

Thanks to those of you who reached out and brought this to my attention ^^ glad we could get on top of it quickly.

Juice Galaxy 0.2.14 ~ The Broken Stone Bewails the Sky

Yay! We have destructible mesh physics now! We can use this for a ton of interesting destructible things, but for starters I'm scattering some planetoids around in the sky. After the dust settles, I have some more interesting ideas for this mechanic. We definitely need some kind of mini-boss in the sky!

Planetoids

These are destructible islands in the sky, made of semi-solid juice that crumbles under your touch. Destroying terrain will produce juice, and spawn items/monsters. Any collision of sufficient force will damage the planetoid, releasing rock/dust particles and updating the mesh collider/renderer to take damage. Planetoids spawn pretty high up so you can barely see any from the ground. As you gain altitude, they get bigger until you reach the plywood.

The Sky

The upper sky hasn't been updated since version 0.0.1! Since I was already working on the planetoids, it was a good time to make it more menacing! It is now difficult to climb, as gravity increases up to 20x, and I've adjusted the lighting to get really freaky up there. Stewart Keller also provided a new music track, Zenith, to play in the upper atmosphere. I asked him for something gigantic, industrial, and ominous and he did not disappoint!

Changelog:

## \

### Added - Destructible planetoids that drop items and monsters - Exponentially increasing gravity, up to 20x near the ceiling - New audio track in sky: Zenith by Stewart Keller

### Changed - More vibrant / freaky sky appearance in upper atmosphere - Decreased Fleach cannibalism population threshold 16 => 10

🪱Juice Galaxy 0.2.13 ⚡~ Fleaches, Damage Numbers, and Lightning

Hello! I hope everyone has been well!

I ended up taking a pretty long break since the last update, and now I'm gearing up for the next wave of updates. For this one, we are starting small just to make sure I still know what I am doing.

Fleaches!

A brand new monster! The Fleach is a leech-like creature that latches onto living things and drinks their Juice. It will also seek out and gobble up corpses on the ground. Once it latches on, it deals continuous damage and sucks Juice based on the damage done. You can get your juice back by killing and eating it. It spawns in the wilderness and from Rocks that are destroyed.

Damage Numbers

Finally you can see how much damage you are doing. Enable them in Visual settings tab. Next up I'll try and add health bars!

Lightning improvements

I took some time to polish up the electrical system, making its animation and sound more dynamic while also improving its chaining capabilities, visuals, audio, and level scaling.

Added a proper animation. Lightning arcs now take time to travel through the air, instead of all happening instantaneously.
Arcs now deal slightly reduced damage (75%) with each bounce.
Chain range increased 60 => 100, and chain logic fixed so it can hit more targets if they’re close together.
Arc width and pitch now depends on the amount of damage it’s doing. Massive zaps sound pretty crazy.
For the Grimoire: Arc spell, # of chain bounces now scales with item level

Changelog:

## \ ### Added - New Monster: Fleach (spawns from Rocks killed) - Damage numbers (can be enabled in Settings menu) ### Changed - Lightning arcs now take time to travel through the air - Lightning chain range buffed 60 => 100, chain logic improved - Each time lightning bounces, its damage drops 25% - 'Grimoire: Arc' number of chains now scales with item level - DollSystem logic for more control over damage/knockback ### Fixed - Lightning audio pitch now properly scales with damage - Chests on ruins rarely spawning anything but prismatic juice - Fire damage doing tiny amounts of negative damage sometimes - 2023-24 notes missing from Supporter DLC folder/slideshow

Juice Galaxy Demo

Hello! It's been a sec, I hope everyone is doing really well. This is a complex update, since it splits Juice Galaxy into two versions: the Demo and the Full Version. In the demo, the player can explore the overworld and fight two bosses: the Creator and Mrs. Slitherss.

What's new in the Full Version:

New NPC: Paewol (spawnable via console)
New Hat: Monitor Hat
Improved fix for Mac GUI glitch
General logic to accommodate demo version alongside main game

Main differences in Demo Version:

Paywall forcefields around wilderness, Wawsp Nest, and Bubbletropolis
Certain items are off limits (and spawn more infrequently)
Toilet Realm and Dream Realm cannot be entered
Demo Gatekeeper NPC: Paewol
- Spawns when player attempts something not available in the demo
- Gives intro speech in graveyard after school
- Gives outro speech in graveyard after bosses defeated
- Woe to those who do not heed his warnings

Paewol is a friendly demo guide who shows up to explain paywalls to the player. He (probably) cannot die in the demo, but if you mess with him enough, he will get annoyed and obliterate you. In the full version, you can spawn him via the console and get your revenge. Let me know if have any feedback at: [email protected] Next up, I look forward to getting back to work on the main game. Thank you for playing!

0.2.11d Fix Mac GUI bug caused by lack of a dedicated 'main' camera Add logic to support the demo version when it comes out 0.2.11c Revert 0.2.11b, which caused a new issue in the Inventory 0.2.11b Just a small code change to fix a GUI bug in some Mac computers.

0.2.11 Hotfix A Just pushing some small fixes to hold us over til the next update. Mainly to make Ingot's behavior a bit less annoying. Changelog below. I've also added the latest notes to the Notebook DLC, with 55 note images and 74 texts files of my work notes from before the Steam release, through Bubbletropolis and up to the recent Spooky update. Thanks for your support! ## ### Added - New images and notes for Notebook DLC ### Changed - Added CLANG sound to Ingot's bodyslam - Added cooldown for Ingot chatter on bodyslam ### Removed - OnWaitingForCar chatter event ### Fixed - Ingot no longer targets neutral monsters (Mr. Fox) - Fixed Ingot getting stuck in bodyslam windup - Stroll Fiend stays dead if slain in sleep - Dream Dust now only drops after quest is done - Bubbletropolis playing music after despawn

I'm adding a pricetag to Juice Galaxy on December 7th, 2024. If you already own the game, nothing will change, but for new players, it will cost some money. The game will start at $5, and increase over time. Grab it now while it's still free! On Steam, just make sure it's in your Steam Library and you'll be good to go. I'm hoping this message reaches as many people as possible, so tell your friends to get JG before the price change ^^ I wish I could keep it free forever, but I am excited for the future of Juice Galaxy. Thank you as always for playing, and for your support.

I am adding a $5 pricetag to Juice Galaxy on December 7th, 2024. Grab it while it's still free, on both Steam and Itch.io. There are detailed instructions in the video. I'm hoping this message reaches as many people as possible, so tell your friends to claim JG before the price change ^^ I wish I could keep it free forever, but I am excited for the future. Thank you everyone for your support.

Happy spooky season!

The goal with this update is to expand on the Dream Eater boss fight / quest, and make it repeatable. You guys have been asking for a rematch for a long time, and I'm finally getting to it here in October. I took this opportunity to add a lot to the spooky boy, and honestly wish I'd had time to do more, but I'm already excited with what we have. Main changes:

New Item: Dream Dust
Mr. Fox's dream is now repeatable
The dream level has been expanded and improved
I am voicing the Dream Eater and giving him many new lines
Dream Eater has some new tricks up his sleeve >:D
New attack (it's a surprise)
New spooky (surprise) events while you search for pages
New (surprise) anti cheese mechanics
After collecting all pages, your progress is saved until you beat the boss

It's been a minute. I hope everyone has been well! My main goal with this update is to get ready to move the story forward, by adding key storytelling mechanics and doing a bit of worldbuilding with Bubbletropolis. While I wouldn't say the town is done yet, we have a solid start. There are a couple big changes in this update: - Bubbletropolis has been added to the game - Ingot can now join your party for adventure Ingot can now join you on your adventures! Just talk to him in the graveyard and ask him to follow you. He will loosely follow you, killing everything in sight when he's not busy chasing after you. If you get in the car, he will hop on for a ride. If certain conditions are met (most quests complete) he will start you on a quest to go to Bubbletropolis. Bubbletropolis can be found by taking the road past Hoagen's mushroom out into the wilderness. In this town, Bubblians toil away making bubbles for the Juice Queen. They are behind quota, and do not appreciate when their bubbles are popped. While the area is fairly fleshed out, I have bigger plans for it in the future. This update merely introduces the location, and I look forward to taking the next step with a future update. Please let me know if have any feedback on the update. Especially since I've probably introduced some cool new bugs with the NPC follower system. Enjoy the game, and thank you so much for playing. ^^

Changelog

## ### Added - New Area: Bubbletropolis - New Item: Bubble Wand - New Monster: Bubble Elder - Ingot can now join your adventures (talk to him) - Archways to show roads near Hoagen's shroom home - Cheatcode: IAmIronMan to see from Ingot's view ### Changed - Bubblians improved, can talk - Bubble material improved - Filter setting: Concussion is now very pretty - Some Ingot dialog ### Fixed - Improved grappling swing mechanic - Improved bubble prison stability when wearing items - Clog instakills foes that he rolls past

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44624513/b40b50e2279eddc9159ae5e4d185aa2095368102.png Heya! We are kicking off the next wave of updates with a small one. This update introduces the Bubble Flurry spell, which can be spawned with the console: spawn grimoire:_bubble_flurry Fire bubbles at your foes, which will stick to them and expand. If you hit them with enough bubbles, they will merge into a bubble prison, which traps a monster inside and eventually explodes. Firing more bubbles into the prison will cause it to expand and strengthen. This update is the first part of several to come which will focus on moving the story forward. For starters, we are just making sure that the new bubble technology has not introduced (many) new bugs and checking the balance and feel of the new spell. There are also two new 'monsters' in the spawnlist: the Bubblian and the Bubble. These are meant for a future update, but for now you can spawn them with the console: spawn bubble spawn bubblian Please don't hesitate to report any issues or share your thoughts ^^ if all goes well, this update should be out soon and I will continue working on the top-secret next story chapter. Changelog: ## ### Added - New Item: Grimoire: Bubble Flurry - Bubble technology for future updates: - Bubble materials - Bubble collider physics - Bubble Missile/Prison logic for flurry spell - New Monsters: (only spawnable via console for now) - Bubble - Bubblian ### Changed - Prepared spell logic for usage by NPCs - Improved corpse juice drinking stability - Explosive projectile lifetime logic - Weather system override logic ### Fixed - Wilderness Ruins material destruction bug - Overworld terrain property blending

Fixed ragdoll freakouts introduced by last hotfix (I am so sorry lol)

Heya! Hope all is well. This is a quick patch with some tweaks and fixes to hold us over until the next update. Changes: - Wilderness ruins can now spawn with portals home - Portal prompt text now includes destination - Sanity checks for player body proportions <= 0

This is a small update with some bug fixes and a small holiday event! 🧑‍🎄 It's snowing in the overworld, and you can find present boxes scattered across the overworld. There are two new items for this event: - Santa Hat - Candy Cane The holiday event is coded to recurr every year from Dec 13th to Jan 7th. If you miss the window, you can still spawn elements using the console like so: spawn candy_cane spawn santa_hat spawn present_box If I can next year, I'll add something spicy to make it more of a big event >:) Thanks for playing, and enjoy the update! Happy holidays! Changelog: ## ### Added - New melee weaopn: Candy Cane - New floppy hat: Santa Hat - Snow effect in cold biome, and globally during holidays ### Fixed - Bug causing screen to go black on wild collisions - Player HP regen was inversely proportional to framerate ## ### Fixed - Bug causing DLC panel to think Notebook DLC was installed ## ### Added - Pollywog Hat for those who've purchased any DLCs - DLC menus for buying/opening DLCs - Slideshow scene for the notebook DLC - New achievements! ### Changed - Reduced intensity of rainbow effect on fire/explosions/etc - Wilderness ruins now spawn closer to the graveyard
