Steam Awards are here again! And you know what that means! It's time for proud the annual tradition of nominating 100% Orange Juice for Labor of Love, if you feel like it! Or you know, don't. But think about it!

100% Orange Juice has been in active development for 10 years now, with the original English release in 2013 leading into the Steam release in 2014; then expanding the game with more languages, voices, more characters, new game modes, events, unlockables and so much more that it leaves even us confused at times!

This has all only been possible with your support over the years! Whether you're a 100% Orange Juice veteran, or just started playing, you're the heart of the game! As long as you keep loving 100% Orange Juice, we'll keep on developing it!

So with that said, if you think 100% Orange Juice deserves the Labor of Love vote this year, go ahead and give it the nomination, so we can all excitedly await to see whether TF2 or CS2 wins the nomination this year!

In the immortal words of Marie Poppo:
"Poppopopopoppo oppoooppooppoppo opopo!!"

100% Orange Juice - version 3.13.7 now live!

• Added Halloween costumes for Mother Poppo and Dark Lulu!
  
• Extended event duration by 3 days to give players time to get those as well.
  
• Candy payout now occurs only from defeats following refusal to give out candy (previously various other KO circumstances would also grant the candy after refusal to hand it out).
  
• Damage penalty from refusal to hand out candy is no longer sourced (doesn't trigger Bloodlust healing).
  
• Stealth On no longer prevents treating.
  
• Fixed some graphical issues including Mother Poppo's ability to manifest hearts while wearing a kigurumi
  
• Fixed an issues here some saves from between Trick & Treat 2021 run and present one had their event progress corrupted (players getting stuck on event clear cutscene should now be able to clear it normally).

It's trickin' and treatin' time! The popular Trick & Treat event is back in 100% Orange Juice!

Running until the end of November 14, the Trick & Treat keeps your previous event progress, but adds many new costumes to be unlocked from the Shop!

Happy spoopy candy hunting!

Version 3.13.5 also includes many other changes and fixes, please see the full patch notes on the forums!

We hope you'll have fun with the newest additions!

The summer events continue with an all-new "Treasure Tails" event, which follows the ending of "Path to Secrets"!

After fighting Arnelle's group to be the first to reach the lakeside shrine with its rumored treasure, Ellie and Lulu make it inside with their companions, only for a triggered trap to plunge them all into its depths. What awaits them in the darkness...?

The event is live until October 20.

To progress in the event, there's only one thing you need to do: Defeat Mousse, Mousse and even more Mousse!


The event uses a modified Bounty Hunt ruleset with numerous changes, including lowered Norma requirements, 50% cheaper shops, and an extra +1 hand size. Three bounties are available to fight: Mousse (2 fame), Key Lime Mousse (3 fame) and Strawberry Mousse (4 fame). In addition, completing a quest will begin a fight against a 2 HP Mousse instead of simply giving 2 fame.

The event mode also incorporates some key changes from the earlier Bounty Hunt beta, including removal of quest stacking, and not being able to get duplicates of same contract offered on a home.

Last but not(?) least, a new invader, Dark Chocolate Mousse, will appear and... keep running away while siphoning off players' stars.

The event can be completed in either the event mode, or in normal Bounty Hunt (via fighting the Mousse bounty).

We hope you'll enjoy the continuation of Ellie's journey!

• Fixed Co-op role levels popup being covered.

• Fixed unit-inspection popup persisting and unable to be closed if it's up while a fishing minigame starts.

It's been 10 000 years! On September 10, 2013, we released the English version of 100% Orange Juice, and unleashed Poppo to the world. Not to be confused with the actual Steam release of May 16, 2014, which we will be celebrating next year!

Enjoy a refreshing trip to the nature in a rerun of the Master Anglers event! Now live for 2 weeks, until September 11!

This summer event has no new rewards and lets people who previously missed or didn't finish the event to collect the prizes again. Instead, all players receive 4 Arcade Tokens and not the usual 3 during the event for more pet goodness.

A permanent new Bonus Event rotation has been added to the game!

Every two weeks will see a 3 day bonus event, starting on Tuesday or Friday in turn! These bonus events can overlap with other active events.

List of rotating bonus events:

• 2x EXP
  
• All Units
  
• All Fields
  
• Double Drop
  
• Double Stars (new event)

The rotation will start with a Double EXP event on September 1st!

Balance

• Mimyuu (Jailbird) HP lowered to 4 (down from 5).
  
• Mimyuu (Jailbird)'s Attacker rank has been reduced from A to B in Co-op.
  
• Mimyuu (Jailbird)'s Guardian rank has been reduced from B to C in Co-op.
  
• Mimyuu (Jailbird)'s Avenger rank has been reduced from A to C in Co-op.

Dev note: the monstrous strength of Mimyuu required Sora to call in reinforcements to stop her escape. A frantic chase ensued, exhausting Mimyuu's reserves of liberated snacks, and necessitating more frequent returns to her secret base to restock. These trips are expected to slow down her escape attempts in the future.

• Added a Co-op variation of Forced Revival: Point cost 5, Max 1. Restores all KO'd units to half HP, rounded up (instead of to 1).

This change is expected to make Forced Revival less one dimensional in Co-op, where it was unduly strong against some bosses and mostly useless outside of them. It is now also a powerful support tool to keep your party alive on harder difficulties.

Other Changes in version 3.13.3

• Removed DLC check for unlocking Halena & Cook earmuffs.
  
• All Fields event now applies in single player as well.
  
• Fixed Swimming Coach's attempted sabotage (Swimming Coach plate border covering other players' co-op roles on CPU customization screen).
  
• Fixed CPUs being able to deck multiple copies of Max 1 cards.
  
• Made consistency fixes to the following card & unit descriptions to make their effect more accurate and easier to understand: Big Poppo, Highway Robbery, From the Abyss, Chaos Poppo, From the Chaotic Abyss, Krilalaris (Pajamas).
  
• Fixed performance issue when changing cosmetics at the deck selection screen.
  
• Changed the internal logic of mixer randomization (no noticeable effect to players apart from mixers resetting upon update).
  
• Disabled costume display for other players on the CPU selection screen..
  
• On team mini-preview under the Customize-CPU option, mini-preview now updates face coordinates correctly when selecting a character through Random.

Enjoy catching the big one!

After rigorous judging between our staff and Orange Juice's, the winners of Community Card Pack 4 artworks have been chosen!

We had a record number of 196 entries this time, so obviously there were many excellent submissions that didn't even make it to the top3 in tough competition, which is always heartbreaking to see. However, we hope many of those will also be made available in the Steam Workshop, so you can support your favorite artist there.

There can only be one winner in each category, but we are showcasing the top 3 for each card to give a better idea of the very top of the race. In addition we're again highlighting an "Editor's Pick" for each category, which is a submission that received several top scores but didn't make the top 3 due to mixed votes.

The winning entries will receive a fitting flavor text from Orange Juice, and will be added to the game in a future update, likely in September. At that time, the winners will also receive the Contest Winner and Contributor in-game pins!
