Title says all – so what are you waiting for? Head on over to the game’s Steam page and hop into the game!
New Steam features include HD support, fully reworked multiplayer experience that makes use of Steam lobbies, multiplayer levels and unlockable perks.
Naturally, 100% Orange Juice also comes fully squeezed with Steam Achievements, stats, Trading Cards and more!
See you on the other side!
A while back we started working on 100% Orange Juice’s Steam features. It all started with adding achievements.
Tony, our programmer, is head over heels for Steam API, so after that he started getting some weird ideas.
The game’s entire multiplayer system has been reworked now to use Steam’s servers and a lobby system. It’s already fully playable, and supports many features we didn’t dare wish for before, such as player timeouts, leaving the lobby and rejoining it. Tony’s working on the lobbies now, and we’re discussing a possible system for multiplayer levels and perks. We’ll have to see how feasible that is to add.
At some point someone got the bright idea to bring 100% Orange Juice up to HD resolution as well. So now we’re doing that too.
For reference, this is where we started from:
100% Orange Juice default screen (click for full size)
The screen’s considerably less cramped at 720p, and the cards started to stand out as just a bit small and unclear for their purpose.
Now that we had more space available, we tried rendering the cards in higher resolution also, and the difference is quite amazing.
This is where we are now:
100% Orange Juice in 720p, and cards rendered in higher resolution (click for full size)
Please don’t give us any more ideas.
Human Tanks have now entered their new hangar on Steam, and are happily enjoying barley tea together.
There’s a -10% release discount on War of the Human Tanks, as well as two new packages available on Steam.
Sound of the Human Tanks DLC, priced $9.99 contains all of Sound of the Human Tanks I,II and III, for 90 tracks of funky game music from War of the Human Tanks and Human Tanks: Alter.
A further Imperial Edition comes priced at $16.99, and contains the game as well as the music collection.
The game is fully armed with new Steam features, including:
To celebrate the release, we are announcing a map design contest for War of the Human Tanks.
The goal of the contest is to design a new bonus map for War of the Human Tanks. The design can be as detailed as you want it to be, as long as it adheres to the physical limitations of the game (maximum map size is 17*17 octagons, which can be passable or non-passable), graphical or a written concept, and designed for any difficulty level – up to you! We’ll choose the design we find most interesting and add that map as an extra bonus map to the Steam release of the game (to be found under ‘Free Battle’).
Contest rules:
The winner will receive a unique War of the Human Tanks t-shirt, an Imperial Edition of the game on Steam, and the eternal fame of contributing to the war effort.
Again, happy news (well, not really super news at this point, if you’ve been keeping up). Yakiniku Banzai’s awesome Strategy/advanture game ‘War of the Human Tanks’, our first release has finally been greenlit! It already made it to rank #27 before the entire top 100 of Greenlight games was let in, which just goes to say… Human Tanks are awesome, or something.
We’ve been hard at work on the game’s Steam release since the news came to us, and are hoping to be able to publish the game sometime soon.
The glorious, Human Tank themed (surprise?) steam trading cards are already ready and raring to go, but we’re having some unanticipated difficulty with implementing our planned achievements to the game.
The base issue is that the engine doesn’t support using non-C code, which creates problems when trying to handle Steam’s class-using callbacks… if that says anything to anyone.
If you have any ideas, let us know. We’ll keep on trying different things for a while longer, in any case.
Here, have a Cookie.
On the other hand, our third release, 100% Orange Juice, the goal-oriented board game played by Orange Juice’s all-star cast is currently 86% of the way to the top 100 of Greenlight. We are hoping to see it greenlit soon.
Peace out… and let the war begin!
It’s been a hectic few weeks. To sum them up:
99 Spirits is now available on Steam, with full Steam functionality.
We’ve added 49 Achievements to the game, as well as Stats, Cloud Saves and Leaderboards – and of course, Steam Trading Cards.
We’re already really happy to see lots of activity in the 99 Spirits Community Hub.
A brief explanation of 99 Spirits setup on Steam:
Moreover…
Steam Winter Sale just started!
While the sale lasts, you can get 99 Spirits for -15%, the Artbook & Music Collection DLC for -20%, or the Steam Special Edition for -25%! Don’t miss out!
We are busily preparing for 99 Spirits‘ much awaited Steam release. As it’s our first game there, most of the features and their use are new to us, but the transition has gone surprisingly smoothly (thanks to the efforts of Tony, our resident walrus).
Right now, we have finished implementing Steam Trading Cards and Cloud Saves to 99 Spirits.
What’s taking most of our time is adding Achievements to the game, since they require a fair bit of testing and we want them to be well prepared and meaningful, rather than a compulsory chore. They’re great fun to work on, though!
If all goes well, you will see 99 Spirits appear on Steam quite soon.
In answer to a popular request, we have finished another major undertaking for 100% Orange Juice, and can now present you with a comprehensive 52-page User Guide for the game!
Learn everything about the game’s underlying mechanics and pick up tips and tricks!
The guide is based on the original Japanese design by Orange_Juice, and updated with up-to-date information for our English release of the game. We hope it will help everyone struggling with any aspect of the game.
This user guide comes included in 100% Orange Juice 1.2 patch, also out today, which fixes a bug with ‘Tragedy in the Dead of Night’ card in multiplayer, as well as synchronizes players’ speed. You can also download it directly from our homepage.
100% Orange Juice is now 67% of the way toward top 100 on Steam Greenlight.
War of the Human Tanks currently enjoys rank 57 of 1429 games on Steam Greenlight! We hope to see it join 99 Spirits among the Greenlit titles soon. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about this series.
