0.1.6 Inventory System!


You can now eat items and spit them back out when you need them. 

Monsters and bosses drop items with random properties like damage or stat modifiers. This is a huge milestone, as it enables you to start crafting character builds, and me to start adding items all willy nilly. I've been holding off adding too many items til now, as I knew this update would require me to rebuild basically every item.

In the near future, the plan is to work on some small fun stuff again. Some hats, weapons, maybe get a start on spells. I'm also finally going to get started on some new areas/biomes, and creatures to go with them. If Swirly D was the end of chapter one, then chapter two is about to begin! Eventually I'll get to work on some clothes for the juiceling.

I'm also looking into releasing on some other platforms soon, including Steam. If anyone has any advice for that, or platform suggestions, please hit me.

I hope everyone has a wonderful break and Thanksgiving! ^^ Thank you all for your continued support and interest in Juice!

I really like the inventory system, it is satisfying to use. There is a minor problem though. There doesn't seem to be a way to get a weapon back from Hogan once you toss it to him, since grow weapon and grab weapon are now the same key (E).

Also it would be nice if there was a setting to make the game automatically pause when inventory is opened.

Wow, I didn't expect you to release the inventory update along with the stretchy AND the +stat thing this update is bigger than I thought good job :) , I will say though its kinda weird to receive hats from enemies, the way you receive a farmer's hat when you haven't even encountered the old man yet.

Still though good luck on the development o)
