Armor / Modding Work Timelapse

Yoo! Here's the last couple weeks of work, for creating and saving new items in the 'Stuff' folder. In the end, these files will be editable/duplicable, and I will provide some basic tools/tutorials for modders to add their own funky items.

It gets pretty complicated, and you can see me losing my mind a little bit, while exploring a bunch of different ideas and issues in this programming ...

Juice Galaxy 0.2.14 ~ 🪨 The Broken Stone Bewails the Sky ✨

Whew! We made it. Thank you guys for your efforts in testing and feedback!

I have no idea what we'll do next, perhaps returning to work that I have paused (hemicranian) but I aim to do something a little easier than this update was xD Hopefully that means I'll be back soon with good news!

JG 0.2.14 test B ~ The final test!

Thanks for testing everyone!

JG 0.2.14 test A is ready!

If you'd like to help test, use this link and password:
https://fishlicka.itch.io/juice-galaxy-test / pass: canyoudigit

This is the first part of 0.2.14, adding some destructible planetoids in the sky! I'll keep working, but I wanted to get the test out asap to get your guys' input. Let me know how...

Planetoidal Destruction?

Hello! This is an early prototype of a destructible mesh tech I'm developing. It's actually the same ould threaded Marching Cubes code we've been using for the Toilet Realm, but this time I've programmed it to listen for collisions and take damage from them, sort of like Deeprock Galactic or DK Bananza, but way lower spec to run on everyone's machines.

I think my goal is to put these in ...

🪱Juice Galaxy 0.2.13⚡~ Fleaches, Damage Numbers, and Electricity Improvements, oh my!

Woo! Update 0.2.13 is out, thank you guys for helping test. I apologize that I ended up going with the name Fleach after all-- you guys came up with some awesome names, but Fleach was already burned into my brain. Next time 😅

One update in the bag, onto the next one. I don't have any specific plan yet, but I think I'd like to add a new space of some kind, like a cave or skyland. Feel ...

Ready for testing: 0.2.13 ~ Fleach, Damage Numbers, and Arc buffs

We are back! I hope everyone is well. I ended up taking a longer break than I'd meant to, but I'm feeling well-rested and ready to go nuts with the next series of updates ^^

This update introduces:
- The Fleach, a new leechlike monster that hunts other monsters and steals their juice
- Damage Numbers (enable in the Visual settings tab)
- Various lightning system improvements
...

Fleach

Yo! I've been working on a bunch of different ideas, trying to scope out which of them would be manageable to fit into the next update. On the side, I decided to make a new monster, just for fun. I am open to naming suggestions haha

In this work timelapse I work on a new monster called the 'Fleach' which is meant to prey on the player and other monsters in the wilderness. It also is our ...

🎩 Juice Galaxy 0.2.12 ~ Paewol and Demo Version

Whew! Done with the Demo, now there's a free way to play Juice Galaxy again. Looking forward to working on something small fun and simple updates next ^^

Paewol Pt. 2

Yooo! We are finally nearly done with the demo version. There is a build here if you'd like to help test:
Juice Galaxy Test by fishlicka   / pass: paewol

Update and Devlog 0.2.12 should drop either this weekend or the next, and I'm super excited to get started on 0.2.13 soon. Idk what we...

Paewol Pt. 1

Heya! I'm working on a demo version of JG, and so I'm adding this new character Paewol who shows up and explains to the player when they hit a pay wall. In the demo, he's invincible but players can smack him around a bit to take out their frustrations, and if I have time, I'd like to give him an attack. I think in the full version you can spawn him, kill him, and take his hat.

Hopefully ...

🕑Planning 0.2.12 and Hotfix 0.2.11a

Yo! I haven't been uploading timelapses since I'm doing boring bugfix stuff, but here's one where I do some planning for next update before whipping up the latest hotfix patch.

Here's a quick summary of the hotfix I implement in this video:
- Make Ingot talk a bit less
- Make Ingot ignore certain neutral monsters (Mr. Fox)
- Fix Ingot's attack getting stuck in windup
- Dream ...

Pricing Announcement

Yo! I am changing the price of Juice Galaxy from $0 to $5 on December 7th. Make sure you guys own the game on Itch and Steam before the price change.

If you miss this boat, I'm hoping to figure out how to automatically grant ownership to patrons who have paid a cumulative amount equal to the game price. I can't currently promise that, but that's something I am looking into.

Juice Galaxy 0.2.11 ~ Spooky Update 👻

Happy Halloween!

Thanks for your help in testing and giving feedback. Please let me know if you find anything left over that needs fixing, or have any suggestions ^^

0.2.11 Test Build A

Yoo, can I get some quick help testing the spooky update?

I hope everyone is having a good week. The Halloween update is nearly ready! I am very excited, but scared 👻 to release it without proper testing. I could really use some quick help, as I want to get it out asap.

There are instructions below on how to test.

Fox's Dream Pt. 1

Yo, happy Friday!

Spoiler warning for this one as we are getting closer to the actual update. I'm hoping to have it ready to test by next Monday or Tuesday.

This time, I've been working on the level design for the dream area. In order to evoke a dreamlike feeling of smallness and vulnerability, I have increased the size of everything 3x, leaving the player and lil' Mr. Fox small. I ...

Dream Dust Pt. 2

Hello! This time, work was focused on improving the Dream Dust and sleep mechanic, as well as figuring out answers to some hard questions. I am pretty happy with the sleeping animation/sound, and ~70% done with the Dream Dust item's look and feel.

Soon, we'll be at the fun part where I can start working on expanding the nightmare! At the very least I want to add a new attack to the big gu...

Dream Dust

Hello! Hope you all are having a nice week. My brain was a little fried when I recorded the intro, but work has been going quite well.

This time I am working on a new item called Dream Dust. It is a reward for beating the Dream Eater and will allow you to make monsters/npcs fall asleep, possibly so that you can enter their dreams. I also created a thought bubble effect representing a drea...

Hemicranian Pt. 4

All right, this time I've added some sound, polished the physics, worked on the dude's AI and made it killable. There's still some more work to do-- I think we need a sound effect for his neck stretching and snapping. I also may edit his model now that we've gotten to this point, and I need to figure out where to put him.

Adding sound was interesting, because I wanted to implement the abi...

Hemicranian Pt. 3

The saga continues! In this one I focus on the monster's attack, where he rips his head off and throws it at you.

You can see me working on the code inside of the Anim_HeadPluck coroutine, which animates the whole thing.

One of you suggested I show some game footage at normal speed too, and I think that's a great idea.

Hemicranian Pt. 2

It's pretty code intensive this time, because I'm not just working on an attack for the Hemicranian, I'm also working on a new system for building ragdolls from the 'Stuff' folder included with Juice Galaxy.

The goal is to make it so that you guys can edit the game and add your own monsters/items, so I'm using this new system to create the Hemicranian as a test. Those capabilities won't ...

Hemicranian Pt. 1

I'm working on this new monster! I have a pretty sweet attack planned for it, which its name alludes to. Part two should come sometime soon, where I'll be working on its physics and attack.

Let me know if you like this kind of thing! -- I'm thinking about uploading work session timelapses like these fairly often to keep you guys in the loop and also show the work process a bit ^^ cheers.<...

Juice Galaxy Notes Vol. 2

Cleaning up and getting ready for another big push forward with the game, so here's another round of notes without much context!

You can download a .zip folder from the attachments if that is more convenient. They are organized into four category folders: Concepts, Scratch, Theory, and Todo.

Thank you all for supporting my work, it really means a lot to me that people wan...

Juice Galaxy Notes, Vol. 1

I just got done with a big update, and am finally cleaning my room. I think rather than throwing away months of notes, it'd be fun to scan and post them online (with basically zero context).

I'll upload them to this gallery, but you can also download a .zip archive of all of them below. It might be easier to view them if you download them, as they are at least sorted into folders (Concept...

Hey

I just want to thank the three of you and let you know that your support has not gone unnoticed :) Here's to a juicy future.
