Thanks to all of your ongoing support, this May 16 2019 we're now able to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of 100% Orange Juice's Steam release! And oh boy do we have a lot to celebrate today!



A new event, dubbed Minions of the Master, is now available to play! Strange monsters have started rampaging around - can anyone stop them... and what's behind it all?

The mysterious event will last until June 15, 10:00 PST.

The event is written by Hono of Orange Juice and the event ending illustration is made by Rosuuri.

The new event comes alongside the biggest content update ever for the game!

The main part of the update is a permanent co-op mode. This is something we've been ironing out ever since the popularity of the summer 2018 co-op event, to make it stand out on its own and give a good experience to both casual players and those seeking a challenge.

You can now fight with your friends against Big the Haruo (and perhaps other bosses too...?) on all-new co-op fields, and level up the new co-op character roles, unlocking new abilities.



13 new co-op achievements have also been added to the game.

Moreover, you can now enjoy viewing your gameplay statistics in-game, including how much you've played with each character, and their online win rates!

For more details, see the full patch notes at the end. We've spent a great many months working on this update, and hope you'll enjoy the results!

To celebrate the 5-year Steam anniversary, we've released a new starter edition for the game!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/11016/100_Orange_Juice__Game_of_the_Year_Every_Year_Edition/
100% Orange Juice - Game of the Year Every Year Edition package includes the base game + 8 extra characters + both card packs with a total of 23 new cards to unlock, and all characters included in the package come enhanced with the newly added Japanese voice acting!

The new edition is meant for new players considering getting into the game, and is crafted to offer the best starting experience for them. It comes with a whopping -53% discount on the included content, on top of any other discounts that may apply.

Simply log in to 100% Orange Juice to receive a further anniversary present in the form of a present home-stop!

Changes:

• Co-op mode has been added as a permanent new game mode. You can toggle between normal and co-op mode when creating a lobby or starting a single player game. Co-op bosses can be fought in 4 difficulty levels, with higher difficulty bosses bringing stronger abilities and rewarding more EXP and Oranges if defeated.
  
• New co-op fields added. They are specific to each boss, and available when playing co-op on Normal or higher difficulty.
  
• Co-op character roles can be leveled up to level 25 by playing with them, unlocking new perks. Every role level-up also grants 50 Oranges.
  
• 3 character roles are immediately available to play in co-op: Attacker, Supporter and Guardian. Those who unlocked Avenger role in Beach Party 2018 event can also use it; others may unlock it by reaching Lvl 25 as Attacker.
  
• Some characters have a different Hyper card in co-op. Co-op versions of cards can now be toggled in the Binder.
  
• Norma 3 bonus panel multiplier cap is lifted in co-op.

• Minions of the Master event added. The event runs until June 15, 10:00 PST, with an original story by Hono and an ending illustration by Rosuuri.
  
• Your gameplay stats can now be viewed in the Game Info. This shows the number of times you've played online with each character, and their win rates (note: Co-op games do not accumulate these statistics).

Fixes:

• Fixed the Arcade Token gain display to show the amount of tokens you actually gain.
  
• Fixed Iru's passive effect dealing 0 damage when the attacking Iru has Solid Witch activated.
  
• Fixed Card Sage achievement tracking seasonal event cards as well.

Balance:

• Leap through Space (Marking) is no longer consumed upon use but transforms into Leap Through Space.
  
• Mira's HP increased to 5 (up from 4).

Thank you for all of your support that's made the game so popular for such a long time and allows us to keep adding more content to it! Look forward to what else we have in store in the coming year!

We're happy to announce that by popular demand, voices have finally been made available for Robo Ball, Haruo and Jonathan in 100% Orange Juice - Mob Voice Pack 1!

Once your match ends, the characters leave the Lounge and join the character selection screen again.

Balance

• Ubiquitous cost has been increased to 10 (up from 0), and Poppo no longer moves after the warp but activates the panel she warps to. If the target panel is a home panel, Poppo automatically passes the norma check.

• To compensate for the resulting lower performance, Kae now has +1 base DEF (up from -1), and gains an additional +1 DEF when attacking.

We're excited to announce a second Community Card Pack, and with it, an art contest!

We still have a massive number of card suggestions from the previous community card contest, and these six new cards are also based on those.

The art contest is now open until February 28, 2019!

Art can be submitted for any number of cards and any number of times. Submissions must include the tag #communitypack and the name of the Card they are meant for. 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 (name subject to change) will be released as a free update.

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.
