Chaos Mode Is Back, More Chaotic Than Ever!

The great kings of Chaos have descended! Versus mode is now replaced with Chaos Mode until end of the year!!! 5 new Chaos Mutators have also been added!

• Ultimate Tag Team: Tag Team with a twist! Tag cooldown is reduced to 1 chapter. Tag can be used in battles.

All Past and Future Events Have Been Retired!

In a move much requested by the Poppo community, all the in-game events have been retired, making them accessible to everyone at any time! Events that were already retired now have full tracking with unlock steps in the new Retired Events section as well.
The list of all retired events in the game includes the Poppo Event and Bounty Hunters.

OJDex Grows!

8 new characters have received their OJDex entry: Arnelle, Maynie, chris, Kyupita, Halena, Cook, Bunnizard, Lone Rider, Lost Rogue and Merchant! Character lore and cute pins await those who focus on the character.

New Side Stories Added!

A new feature has been added to the game: OJDex Side Stories! Enjoy fun little episodes featuring your favorite characters! To unlock them, simply meet the requirements listed in the new Side Stories section!
At the beginning there are 3 episodes available to unlock: Family, The Leo's Share, Class Change, The Girl Who Cried Po, ]Of Mice and Cats and Commiseration. The stories are written by TheVulpineHero1 with story supervision by Hono. More will be added in future updates over time!

Other New Features!

• Added a new field event: "Divergence of Opinion". Every 6 chapters, two random players will start an argument and decide it via a 10-round Battle.
• Added a random delay to Taunts to avoid players being able to circumvent the lack of in-game chat by communicating with the Taunts using morse code.
• Added a bear.
• A new stat added on all unit cards: Gullibility. This indicates the likelihood of getting 1-shot from full HP by Seagull. (This stat is Irrespective of all other stats).
• Aggressive Chicken increased from 0 to 1.
• A new game mode is now unlocked after reaching Lvl 100 with any character: Tower of Tomomo! Fight through a gauntlet of randomly generated challenges of increasing difficulty with your friends to earn a chest of increasing rarity, but beware - KO is permanent! Can you conquer all 99 stages within the time limit?
• We have added a few partner taunts that are only available when certain characters are in the same game. They will appear in your taunt list in those inconspicuous blank slots that we have been requested to make use of. Can you find them all?
• Its been long enough that most people see PvP Tomomo as the true Tomomo and we have received some confusion from new players regarding her flavor text. To avoid this confusion, we have moved the "Softened" ability to the Campaign Tomomo instead.
• Fixed a bug where Store Manager was not receiving damage from all discard effects.
• 100% Orange Juice is now available in e-book format on all the major retailers! An audio book version is also coming.
• Added a playable character version of Big Poppo.
• Suguri (46 Billion Years) passive updated: When playing a damage dealing Boost/Event card, gain +1 die to your next chocolate roll. You may pay 1.5x its cost (rounded up) to double your cuteness.
• Lone Rider: We have assessed that the past balance changes to him may have been too aggressive. To compensate, we have added a new mechanic: Boosting. After his movement roll is exhausted, he may spend 1 heat from his engine and clogging his hand to roll another smaller die to increase his total speed for that turn. Be careful though, if you overheat your engine you will burn out.

Full version 1.4.25 patch notes can be found on the forums! Happy Chaosu!

Clash of Cakes event is back! Will the bizarre cakes be eaten or yeeted? Running until January 21, the cake event has been updated with new rewards! What lies at the end of the cake race...? New Xmas costumes are available in the Shop during the event, and older costumes' prices have been lowered.

Steam Cloud fix on macOS and Linux

We've fixed a 100% Orange Juice issue with Steam Cloud so that it allows cross platform saving (on macOS and Linux). If you have made progress on one platform, launch a game on that platform to upload the progress to the Cloud once more, after that it should work on other platforms too. (Make sure to launch the game on the platform with the most recent save to not lose recent progress!) Important for macOS users: Only do this if you have already made progress on macOS, otherwise no action is needed: Copy the "save" folder: ~/Library/Application Support/FBF/100OrangeJuice and paste it inside the game directory, next to 100OrangeJuice.app. In order to reach the game directory, right click the game in your steam library, under Manage, click 'browse local files'. We wish everyone a great end of the year!

Fun youth is in danger! Gather at Family Restaurant Pures to figure out how to fix the situation! A new storyline begins in new "Extracurricular Crisis" event, with a new Tag Team game mode! Version 3.24 also adds macOS and Steam Timeline support!

Tag Team!

A brand new event, Extracurricular Crisis, written by Hono and illustrated by Tsukino is now live until December 21! Meet new characters and play in the new Tag Team game mode to collect Restaurant Pures stamps and clear the event! (other game modes also progress event but at half the pace). The Tag Team game mode has players packing not one but TWO characters into the match! The characters can be tagged out every 3 chapters, and will automatically tag out if the player is KO'd! Unleash wild new synergies and clever ploys! Note that Tag Team game mode is limited to the event duration. The event rewards include new costumes, dice, a new field "Pures Stamp Rally", and more! Alongside the addition of Tag Team, most characters in the game have had new voice lines added.

macOS Support Added!

Good news for our resident apple lovers! 100% Orange Juice now supports macOS as well! This is still a new addition and there might be unforeseen issues - if you run into problems, make sure to let us know! We'll be on the lookout to fix those.

Steam Timeline Support Added!

100% Orange Juice now also supports the new Steam Timeline feature! This puts markers on the Steam overlay timeline when using Game Recording to show important events, and clearly shows game phases.

OpenGL Update, New Steam Branches

After extensive testing, the OpenGL build has now moved from the Steam Beta to live build! There may still be some undiscovered bugs even after over a year of testing, so if you run into those, just make sure to report them to us! We don't expect anyone will be unable to play the game because of the change, but just in case we've made a new Steam Beta branch that still carries a DirectX build (the previous default), so if for some reason you are unable to play on the OpenGL build, you can switch to that: Game Properties -> Betas -> "DirectX_Backup" This beta will be discontinued once we're confident that players don't have any issues with the OpenGL build. As we earlier announced, we are now dropping support for x86 architecture. But just for anyone who is unable to play 64 bit games, we've archived the latest version of the game to a new Legacy branch: Game Properties -> Betas -> "legacy_3.23.1" This legacy build won't be updated, but you can still play with other people using the same build. We hope you'll enjoy this major new update!

[ 2024-11-25 00:01:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello dear players, From the next update of 100% Orange Juice, we plan to be discontinuing 32-bit support. By all likelihood this should not affect you, and the support for 32-bit versions of Windows itself is already ending on 2025/05/31, but we wanted to give an advance notice just in case. We've continued supporting it since the release of the 64-bit version, thanks to a bug in Direct Sound that could cause the loading to be stuck on 64-bit systems under really specific circumstances, but since we have already moved from Direct Sound for almost 1 year already, it's not a roadblock for us anymore. 64-bit systems are already the mainstream of personal computing for at least 13 years - even laptops from 10 years ago already supported 64-bits, so we hope this change will not affect any players in a major way. Focusing on a 64-bit build will also allow us to keep improving the game without the shackles of hardware limitations. Our Linux version is already 64-bit only, and the soon to be released macOS version is also 64-bit. Many hardware and software vendors are phasing out 32-bit support. This makes it increasingly difficult to maintain a 32-bit version of your software without encountering compatibility issues, and has been limiting new features we can add to the game. By focusing on a single 64-bit version, we can deliver a more robust, secure, and performant gaming experience for all our players. Thank you for the continued support as we keep improving the game!

The time has come! With the big Bounty Hunt game mode rework, we're also launching the first of the "Season 2" event reruns, Bounty Hunters!

Bounty Hunters

The Bounty Hunters rerun is live until August 31! It also comes with new rewards at all milestones, for those who have previously completed the event! Follow Ellie and Lulu's adventures as you take down the bounties in the event written by Hono and illustrated by Ogipote! This is the 2nd and final time the event gets run normally; after rerunning them, the season 2 events will all be retired!

Bounty Hunt Rework!

The rework follows 2 beta phases and countless development hours, and brings with it a massive amount of changes! We'll only list the big ones here, please see the full patch notes on Steam forums!

Mirages!

Addressing one of the game mode's biggest pain points, the bounty locations and shops no longer use the Location Shuffle event to reset. Instead, they stay around until certain conditions are met. A new Mirage effect is always marked on a random panel. Once a location or shop is used up, a new one will instantly spawn on this panel marked with Mirage, and a new Mirage will spawn.

PvP Bounties!

A new PvP bounty system has been added, enabling an alternative fame-gathering path. This adds public PvP bounties, which can be seen on the new Bounty Board by hovering over the top edge of the screen, and private PvP bounties, which can be acquired from Homes if you hold the Assassins Badge (which also gives the player an extra turn of battle against other players).

Norma Board Perks!

A new Norma Board system lets you choose a permanent bonuses on achieving your Norma. These are presented at random for the player to pick, and will not appear again once picked. These bonuses vary from stat boosts to discounts and unique abilities.

Improved Inventory!

The inventory graphics have been improved! In addition, each players' inventory can now be viewed at any time by clicking on the new icon on their character plate. Some items can now be used from this menu during your turn. This change removes the earlier Inventory button during Standby.

Two New Invaders!

Two new invaders, Lost Rogue and Dark Chocolate Mousse, have been added and can be chosen from lobby options. Invaders now also have the ability to apply Curse to contracts, in addition to their main ability. The curse puts completing that contract on a timer before it is removed. Each invader now drops a special inventory item with a passive effect upon defeat.

Shady Merchant!

A new traveling shopkeeper appears - the Shady Merchant runs the Black Market, hosting a plethora of powerful but expensive items; however, you may only buy one Black Market item in a game.

Several Mechanics Adjusted!

There are several other specific mechanical issues that have been addressed in various ways: Fish-a-Fish event now grants fame; Wins give stars upon landing on homes, a new catch-up mechanic has been added that gives extra contracts for lower Norma players, Bounties can be re-challenged after a defeat... the list is too long for the announcement, so please make sure to read the patch notes! We hope you'll enjoy the new and shiny Bounty Hunt mode!

[ 2024-08-04 21:41:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

• Added co-op version of Flying Castle's unit card: "Cannot counterattack when challenged." This fixes his issues especially as Avenger in co-op.
• Edited Flying Castle and Immovable Object descriptions to be more accurate. Actual behavior hasn't changed.
• Game now detects your Steam language for initial startup language selection. It can also be changed from the game's properties. This change only applies to first boot.
• Added Big Poppo unit card to Binder & Shop. Card is available in the shop after unlocking Cyborg Poppo. If Cyborg Poppo is already unlocked, the unit card will be made available after finishing a game.
• F10 key now hides the window border for people that may need it (like those under GL build that might want to place it on specific bits of the screen and/or have scarce screen space).
• Made Mio (Festive) unit card available to players that already unlocked the character by visiting Player Info.

Fixes:

• Fixed Sweet Indulgence's displayed cost.
• Fixed QP (Dangerous) going over the battle stat cap.
• (GL Beta): Fixed Arnelle Hyper's distorted visuals.
• Fixed Hime (Moonlight)'s turn start Moon not disappearing.
• Fixed some battle hyper animations running at double speed when there's two running at the same time.
• Added preventive measures to not allow duplicates of dice and homemarks in selection.
• Fixed undefined behavior when a unit is spawned into the field which could lead to a game crash.
• Fixed misaligned player name on last played cards.
• Various backend optimization that shouldn't affect anything that's visible to players.
• Fixed damage result not appearing after a successful hit of Gray Whale's attack.
• Fixed an issue that made pin preview descriptions to go out of the screen.

We're happy to share with you another devlog by Rapha, this time about the recently implemented big save rework, why it was necessary and what went into it! Hope you enjoy reading it.

The Perils of Binary

In the realm of video game development, preserving a player's progress is paramount. This is where game saves come in, capturing the state of a game so it can be resumed later. However, the methods used to store these save games can significantly impact their susceptibility to corruption, be it by external or internal factors.

The problem

100% Orange Juicesince time immemorial used binary storage, it used to be the go to for this kind of data when processing power and storage space weren't plenty available. It's more efficient to write, to read, and uses less space in disk. But this efficiency comes at a cost, it's easy to mess up. It's why we've added more and more ways the game backups your saves at various points over time, to make sure players have some backup to return to if their save with years of progress gets corrupted. Now let's imagine a theoretical game, Poppo Saves The World! Let's imagine it as a beat-em-up, where you go around fighting enemies, one after the other, until you win and save the world. Lets supposed you have the following section of data that needs to be saved: - Wins - Points - Last stage cleared Lets supposed you have 10 victories, 393939 points and the last stage cleared as stage 7. Let's imagine you used 64 bit values for everything. So: |Data | Explanation| |--|--| |0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | 10 in hex padded to 64 bits| |D3 02 06 00 00 00 00 00 | 393939 in hex padded to 64 bits | |07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | 07 in hex padded to 64 bits | In the file would be: 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 02 06 00 00 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 But then you introduce abilities to the game, you decide to store it as a single byte, that will keep if you have each of the 8 abilities available unlocked, one in each bit. |8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1| |--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--| |0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0| Let's suppose your player unlocked only the first one so it's a 1, so in binary: |8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1| |--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--| |0|0|0|0|0|0|0|1| You inadvertently decided to write it between wins and points, so you would have the new binary: |Data | Explanation| |--|--| |0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | 10 in hex padded to 64 bits| |01 | 01 in hex, it's a single byte | |D3 02 06 00 00 00 00 00 | 393939 in hex padded to 64 bits | |07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | 07 in hex padded to 64 bits | In the file would be: 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 D3 02 06 00 00 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 And as logically implied, you would change your reading code to expect that too! But then comes the problem! Your old save doesn't agree. Let's see what your game would read from an old save. 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 02 06 00 00 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 It expects 8 bytes for the Wins, so it reads 8 bytes: 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 That reads to 10! Seems ok! Up until now everything have gone correctly. But then it tries to read the byte for abilities... D3 D3 is byte, your game doesn't know if it is valid or not, it's binary, it believes in the binary. Let's look at it for a bit, in binary: |8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1| |--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--| |1|1|0|1|0|0|1|1| So not only the first, but the second, fifth, seventh and eighth abilities are unlocked?!? Wow! That's a problem. Let's continue, more 8 bytes: 02 06 00 00 00 00 00 07 That's 504403158265497090points... That's definitely not what was written originally. By reading that byte that wasn't there, you misaligned the whole thing, and now your player has more points than literallythe universe has seconds of life. And then you continue, last 8 bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 But that's not 8, you only got 7! If you really try to read that, you will get an unexpected behavior. What happens depends on what system, what processor and what contingencies are in place. In some systems you may read a byte from memory that has nothing to do with your save, in others you may read some leftover on the memory bus, in some you will crash... The ideal behavior would be the crashing. But lets supposed it didn't. It loaded. Now you have: 10victories 5abilities unlocked 504403158265497090points And never cleared a single stage If this happens to your user, they won't understand a single bit of what's happening, will they?

The conclusion

You must be thinking now, "Well, that's easy, just don't mess up". Yeah, but that's easier said than done, with less than a dozen of information to save, and total control over it you can't commit this mistake. But what about having 200000 different bits of data that need to be read and written correctly, by code written over 15 years, written by different people, with different designs in mind, written by functions in different files, some keeping proper spacing between data, with spare data for future use, some not. That was our situation! Years of updates adding numerous incongruities that we didn't account for, despite fighting against it all day. Yeah, that's a design flaw, and that's why we are fixing it, starting with this step! 100% Orange Juice is a bigger game than one might imagine, and such huge code base being kept alive by less than 10 people is nothing less than a miracle driven by passion and willpower over the years.

The solution

We won't enter into detail, because our new save system not only is 100% reliable but has a good number of protection layers against people editing it. But firstly, if your save was changed externally, it won't load. This is to avoid the game crashing if your storage is faulty and some bit flipped. That's why the backups are now more important than ever, if your main save corrupted, it won't load, no one will be able to restore it, its gone forever. The game won't even try to read it. But not only that, now generally speaking, each bit of data inside the save games has a proper name to address them. Let's bring the example from before:

• Wins
• Points
• Last stage cleared

Now we build a database in memory, naming each value in a proper structure before writing it to the save. So it would be something like this: wins: 10, points: 393939, last_stage_cleared: 7 For reading, you simply search for the value name and loads the value attributed to it: wins 10, points 393939, and it goes on. If you add a new value: wins: 10, abilities: 1, points: 393939, last_stage_cleared: 7 It doesn't matter, you aren't reading in sequence, you have a proper system to encode and decode the values and search them by name. If abilities doesn't exist on the save, you load the default value and go on. This basically clears the future from unwanted data changes, but nothing in life is a perfect solution. We still need to load the old save, and if that's corrupted, the new one will be too, as the old save system trusted above everything else what was written, in the exact order it was. The game also may after some update write something wrong, that's a bug, it can happen, it doesn't mean the save is corrupted stricto sensu, but in lato sensu the data was handled wrongly, so that's still a bug, that's still a thing that needs to be reported. So if after the save conversion on the last big update, you got more dice than the universe has seconds of life, the best we can suggest is contacting us! We will do the best in our power to fix your old corrupted save. But be aware there may be some times that it's impossible (mainly if you didn't play for the last 7~10 years, the amount of uncounted problems can be beyond any repair), but even in this horrific situation, talk with us, say what you hold dear about your old save, and we might be able to find a path that will make you happy.

By popular demand, new options have been added for the comfort of streamers! Two new options are available under System -> Streamer Options

Usernames

Setting this option to "Hide" will replace other player's names with "NET-A" etc, to avoid disruptive usernames while streaming.

Lobby Names

Setting this option to "Hide" will replace lobby names on the lobby list with the host's SteamID, to avoid disruptive lobby names while streaming. Steam friends' lobby names will still show up normally. Thank you for the suggestions on how to keep improving the game!

• Reverted the graphics engine upgrade for the time being. Dev note: in hindsight when we planned this update, we didn't expect to have this many active players. While we expected the change to generate a lot of reports, it turned out a bit overwhelming and we also want to make sure all the new players can play without issue while we figure them out. That's why we reverted the graphics engine change. The downside is that the new accessibility options are also gone because they rely on the OpenGL build. However, we've updated a new "Public OpenGL Beta" branch with the compatible OpenGL .exes, so anyone that wants to keep playing on/testing the new engine can just swap into that. We'll keep it up to date with future updates too so there's no problem playing online.
• Fixed an issue with the 10 year anniversary cutscene not getting saved after seeing it once.

The old guard has entered the (school) building! The two veterans from Flying Red Barrel, Bourbon and Grain, are now available to play for owners of the Bourbon & Grain Character Pack! The School Crashers event has also returned! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2989310/100_Orange_Juice__Bourbon__Grain_Character_Pack/

Bourbon

The soulful pilot longs for a time when the skies are free again. Leader of the Resistance from Flying Red Barrel, Bourbon brings unique tactical skills into play. His gruff voice is perfected by Mamiya Yasuhiro (Hugo Kupka in Final Fantasy XVI, Gigantomachia in Boku no Hero Academia, Viviano Westwood in JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean Part 2)! [previewyoutube=ZZgd9NFh_mw;full][/previewyoutube] +0/+1/-1, 7 HP, REC 6 Every time you take damage in battle, lose 1 max HP (down to 3) until KO'd. Hyper: Heart of Resistance (BOOST) Lvl 2, Cost: 20 Target another active player. Next time they are challenged or challenge a unit while you are active, take their place in the battle.

School is Back in Session!

The anniversary fun continues with a much requested re-run of the School Crashers event! Collect pieces of NoName in fun Playground minigames to clear the event!
The event runs until June 16! School Crashers has no new rewards this time, and is automatically finished if you have done so previously.

New Save System!

While this update may not be flashy, it'll hopefully make the game more robust to play for a long, long time! We've overhauled the game's save system with the new system we trialed in the second Bounty Hunt beta. The save files are now found in a "save" folder in the game's installation folder. They are further separated into folders by your Steam user ID, and all 3 user profiles have a separate save file. The big benefit of this is that family sharing and similar scenarios will no longer overwrite your save file as it's based on your Steam ID. The new format of the save files should also make them way more safe against save corruption, keeping your progress more secure.

Graphics Engine Upgrade

The graphics engine in 100% Orange Juice has been overhauled to use OpenGL 3.3! It's a big change which completes the removal of any windows-only code from the game, but you shouldn't notice any immediate difference from it. In the future, this makes new effects and features possible, possibly even new kinds of mods. Eventually this will enable us to release the game on other platforms besides Windows as well! Full patch notes for the update can be found on the Steam forums, as usual.
