Swirly D is an S tier character he's honestly like an icon lol
He is litteraly an icon like its the profile picture of the dev
Why is he a dog?
Why does he even exist?
He’s funny. Or is it vice reversa?
@@alex.g7317 Is he a smart fella? Or a fart smella that's the real question
swirly D really fell off after his last album, ''The D's domain'' was really shitty. like stinky doo doo bad.
Glad to see the Toilet Realm’s getting a rework- love the way the water looks now!
The new boss reworks are really good as well, makes em a lot more fun to do!
This looks exactly like my toilet now 👍 good work!
Wow! The new swirly lighting is mesmerizing! glad to have the option to skip the cutscene as well, I always felt that one was a little too long. It does however give us plenty of time to savor that swirly type beat though.
I think having the option to skip that cutscene is a crime
it would be cool if we could upgrade the inventory size with juice or an infinite chest at spawn or something to put stuff in since there are a lot of different items and some people might want to collect them all
I agree, I have the code for a chest halfway implemented. I'll consider prioritizing it!
@@FishlickaWOOOOOOOOoOoOo
yippie!!! this was something i was also thinking about but I wasn't sure how hard it would be to code
I love the sense of scale with the Clog boss. The arms stretching the entire length of the cave is so creepy and awesome while you're trying to fly around and dodge.
Swirly Ds cutscene got such a major improvement! I'm glad he seems much more powerful now. (and matches his music more XD)
The swirlying(?) Cinematic looks so trippy! The more updates the more I love them
Man Swirly's lightning looks amazing now, but I feel like his new movements have a lot less attitude than the original
Hmm, I'll have to think about that. It could be partly because his jaw is locked, I don't recall if it was that way before, but I was thinking it'd be cooler if he'd open it for a spooky smile. Could also be because I reduced the intensity of the toilet bob, he was falling off of it lol
I love how you break your own game in the devlogs
It would be funny if swirly D leaves by the pipe that his toilet is on just extending and eventually no-clipping through the ceiling.
Yes, that would have been a great easy way to animate it! haha
I've only just now noticed that the tunnel walls distortion effect matches the music when Swirly D's lightning begins! That's such a cool and subtle detail :o
I could see crazy early game movement tech with walljumping and plunger (well alongside Signy’s Sweet Ride)
I swear this is an unholy mix of a never ending weed trip and fever dream at this point
FINALLY. AFTER, ALL... THIS... TIME... FISHLICKA HAS UPLOADED ONCE, MORRREE... Also the update looks awesome! Been absolutely loving the game ever since I first discovered it, and I cannot wait to see what else you add to it. Definitely my favorite game to record so far!
I love this game so much. I have big plans for a open world sandbox game and your progress and dedication to this game is a huge inspiration that makes me feel very determined to continue getting better at the tools needed to make my ideas and making the ideas themselves!
Really love the Toilet Realm update, especially Clog's new death animation and Swirly D's new cutscene, the new lighting and spasming walls really add to the fever dream flavor of the game.
One bug I've found though was that everytime the player touches the weapon it holds while walking, it flings itself into the air.
Whaat? That sounds like a huge issue, does it constantly fling upward then? What weapon are you using?
@@Fishlicka
1. It does it pretty frequently, almost always
2. From what I've seen so far it does this bug with pretty much any weapon (except for the grimoires, or any other tool held in the right hand)
I only notice this happening when my legs/feet are scaled high and they step or get in the way with my weapon while I'm walking
I was wondering about this, does your character have abnormal body proportions?
I will experiment around and try to reproduce the issue later today.
@@Fishlicka yeah it did, but it seems to do it with default character proportions too, just a lot less
(also sorry for replying late)
oooo you love to see juice news
the clog update is SO GOOD, i genuinely can't think of any other boss in a game that plays quite like he does now. love that guy
walljumps are gonna be really interesting, adds a big momentum element - i'm wondering if you plan on more dungeons being enclosed spaces like this? since ricocheting off bits of terrain would probably really complement the new moveset
on that note i'd love if the walljump sfx was more like a sticky hand slap lmao, like the rubber kind you throw at windows. maybe changes based on material? wet clanks for metal and balloon/squeegee noises for glass
but that's really the most critique i can make, your improvements have seriously showed through all this polish and it's mad inspirational. keep at it 💪
I feel like the entryway into Suckerpunch's arena should end up sealing off when the battle begins, as the video demonstrated it is VERY awkward fighting him in the area outside of it.
That aside though? Good update!
Instead of a door closing, if you leave he should stay in the arena and berate you for pussying out
@@Gamxinholy shit yes, even if you can cheese him from range I think this is such a fun idea. This game is already as hard or as easy as you want to make it when it comes to fighting fair idk I love this game so far
I think Mrs slithers looks great
Swirly D has the hardest drop of all time, I'd like him to be a recurring villain
He'd be a neat rival of sorts.
Literally the only game I care to keep up with
also slowly this game becomes a epic dark souls game
some awesome platforming can be done with that wall jump
the game is starting to look like a weird 2000s game
Such a cool update. I was having a pretty crap day but now I can check this out!
I absolutely love the re-working of areas recently, but I do have one small quarrel. I know it's a thematic choice, but many areas feel empty, especially larger ones, unfortunately like the toilet realm. They are great to explore the first time around, but after a few playthroughs can feel a bit tedious and unrewarding to explore. Small structures placed around the maps would liven things up a bit, and make things feel a tad more like an exploration/adventure.
A few random ones I came up with off the top of my head are:
Some big plumbing pipes and giant creature skeletons in the tunnels of the toilet realm
Stalagmites and pillars with fire braziers in the evil cave/heck
Just little things like that would make the areas feel a little more lively, at least to me, because (and i'm not saying this to hate on the game, it is my favorite after all) many areas feel a bit empty and lifeless without any kind of decoration to them.
I know it's gotta be tiring as a dev hearing people (or probably just me lol) give so many suggestions like this, so i'll wrap it up by saying that this update was really cool, and so have the past updates been. Seeing all the old stuff get re-worked to fit the newer modern stuff is great, and I'm exited for whatever comes next!
I appreciate the feedback and consideration! Don't worry, I haven't gotten tired of suggestions yet haha
I do agree that areas feel pretty empty-- the problem thus far has been my limited time and slow 3d modeling abilities. I 'll try and spice things up a bit though. I was going to add pipes and support beams to the toilet realm last update at the very least, but ended up canning the idea in the name of getting the update out asap. Since I'm done now though, I'll dedicate a couple days to modeling and see what I can do! I've been wanting to add more ruins to the overworld, and I have a couple dungeons modeled out I've been thinking of adding. The giant skeletons idea sounds awesome too, I might fire it up. Some new plants and trees may be warranted too.
Cheers!
Thanks for a new update! This is my favourite game! Your the best!
One of the best games. Appreciate your continued work and the inside view of the channel. Absolute legend
Add a poop enemy. That’s it. That’s the suggestion.
Swirly lightning would be a cool spell to use
Same :)
I really love the idea of suckerpunch trying to beat the clog for no reason, he might be trying to free swirly D for a reason, but it is just so funny to me that he just feels like he has to beat the clog, like he doesn't even know what's behind it, nevermind I just saw the whole video, suckerpunch was part of swirly D' plan this whole time omg
Wow I like that trippy-ass water, and the new Clog tunnel, and the rework to the Clog was much needed, he was quite cheeseable before.
But what really surprised me is that new Swirly D. cutscene! Incredible. Oh, one small thing, would be nice if the camera didn't clip through the ground as it scrolls from Suckerpunch to Swirly there :)
The swirly sequence is literally how my first festival experience went
This new cutscene kicks ass man 🔥 🔥🔥🔥😤😤💯💯💯
Also, dont worry about the time it takes to make the updates, it only matters that you have fun doing it and the game is cool!
I can see this game is gonna be so cool to play through
This game is a masterpiece and I can't wait to see it on Steam😃
i downloaded this game a while back, maybe a few years by now on my old laptop. really enjoyed the style, and coming back to see its development now is a real treat. The toilet realm was definitely a favourite of mine so good to see it get some attention. Good luck in further juice endeavours
swirly D and his music is so fucking good
Great update! Glad to see a lot of these nice reworks and retooling of the dungeons. Glad the Clog is a little harder to cheese. I’m hoping Swirly D ends up being an insane boss with tons of phases and swirly lightning!
I like that the water is vibrantly colored; in the old implementation, it'd sometimes be difficult to tell where the water was, and it could be disorienting. The whole place in general looks way better; I always felt the toilet was drabber then most of the game.
I just want to thank you for making this. I love open world, funny, and cartoony games, and all the games I've followed up to this point rarely have good news nowadays. This video really brightened my day, I really need something positive and you delivered ^w^
Thank you for appreciating it! Hope you have a good rest of your day.
I'm so hyped to see you post again, I haven't watched the entire log yet(im at about 6:40) but so far its looking really cool!
THE CLOGS SO MUCH HARDER NOW LMAO
Also the swirly cutscene is so good how
Watching this made my day so much more better! Every update gets cooler and cooler!
Also love the stuff you come up with its very creative and goofy
What gos on inside your head is one of life’s greatest mysteries
the Swirly D cutscene is, I think, one of my favourites in all of gaming. after i got it in-game i just looked it up on youtube and watched it a bunch more times
I’ve always loved the toilet realm because it was just really trippy and weird, and seeing the Clogs handsome self and silky smooth voice after some time feels great! This is awesome Fishlicka!
Thank god theres a flash warning before you play the game
The new Toliet Dimension looks cool. I love the inclusion of the Hellgazers and Gators.
The Clog is way better than before with the stretchy arm but it looks like he can still be cheesed a bit easily. Though that seems intentional.
Swirly D's intro is pretty cool but I think it's a little too excessive with the colors. Can't wait for his boss fight, though.
i remember entering the toilet realm for the first time when it released and i'm getting nostalgia
Holy swirl, the new lightning effects are amazing
Fix the cutscene camera flying to Sgt and the out of bounds clipping down the tunnel, and it's perfect
Amazing update as always! I think the effects are a little too intense but it's not that bad. Can't wait to see what you do next! Of course, the feature I really want the most is modding support cause it would add so much for the game. But take your time! I know there's a lot to do and you're the only one developing it, so it's okay if you can't get to it for a while.
Much appreciated! Yeah I may have to decrease its intensity even more... I am a glutton for flashing lights but not everyone is the same.
I'd really like to get modding support working too. I gotta research options for that.
@@Fishlicka Well I mean I like flashing lights. I just think compared to all of the other effects in the game, it's a little too intense.
🐸💣
Just played for 4 hours for the first time after watching 3 minutes of this video. This game is so amazing!! I got in the car and just drove for like 45 minutes and had a blast. Then the whole Swirly D cutscene was a religious experience. The bat was genuinely terrifying. The flight movement is so fluid and fun!! It's a truly great time ✨✨✨
Never heard of this and the experimental vibes here are exactly what I love in a video game. Going to download right now.
Thanks for thinking of us non-compute-shader-compatible folks, great game!
Been playing this game since it came out and its probably the best game ive ever played on itch
I WAS THINKING TODAY WHY YOU HAVENT UPLOADED YEAT WOOOOOOOOOO
Yes! I was waiting a lot to play the toilet realm
Great work dude! Thoughts and prayers.
Dude this update actually makes the clog scary to fight. Really good job with this update!
I hope we can get a quest of finding swirly D and fight him in the future uptades. I love your work, Fishlicka :D
Great devlog. Like how you go a bit more in depth as to how you make everything work the way it does. I also want to add that suckerpunch's new boss arena feels a little bit cramped, and also the clog boss fight seems greatly improved but gets a little bit boring to replay since you always have to use a plunger. One more thing the swirly d cutscene is a bit harsh on the eyes.
Thanks for the feedback! Someone else felt cramped with Suckerpunch so I'll have to consider widening the area a bit more.
Is the swirly cutscene too harsh the whole time, or just towards the end? Throughout the cutscene, the player's damage slowly increases which causes the colors to brighten/oversaturate, which I could easily decrease if that's the only problem.
Great update, although this one personally wasn’t up there on my shopping list of things (I fall more on the absurd new things and mechanics along with any sort of customization or extreme gimmick side of updates) I have to give credit where it is due and I actually might want to replay the toilet dimension again after I’d say the 47th time? I’m loving the new look and accessibility, can’t wait to see what you do next even if it’s clean up and polish. I already find this game to nearly be endlessly replayable if I feel like playing so seeing this old area touched up is really neat. Any crazy or wacky gameplay things planned? Personally I’d like ways to break the stat boundaries someday without items or more methods of getting more complex gear like pinks. If you’re ever wondering what to put in the game ranging from simple to complex I always have some random things that I don’t think many would think of to suggest. Love your game Fishlicka it’s legitimately one of my favorites due to concept alone.
Looks good, though I'm worried about the swirly lightning being a bit intense for people with epilepsy but I like it, it looks good, though it didn't look like it was in his hands but it could just be me, BTW from what I have seen and played these bosses seem to need updates:
Miss. Slithers
she was still hard but it feels like it was supposed to be more epic then it was
Wasp queen
It's hard but it feels like it was supposed to more explosive like she's supposed to have a phase 2 or something or a death cutscene
Spoilers
Dream eater
Hes pretty hard actually with his hands and it seems to be like his hands might attach to the terrain and trees and he uses that to his advantage for a more accurate charge or a place to hide, but do the pages lower his health ? Because I'm not sure what they do ? And he seems to not drop anything unique to him after defeat maybe "nightmare juice" or something, as well as a helmet or sword or both your choice
Sargent plunge
He was good, just needs more moves maybe, as well as some other tweaks like closing the room off while fighting him,
Phase 2 where he gets more intense might be good,
looking into the mind of a madman
Is a village update that you proposed a few years back still in the works, or are you going to focus on improving exisiting content? Either way, thank you for delivering such consistent quality and being the most passionate dev out there!
Thank you! I'm just trying to flesh it out and make it feel a bit more alive before I enable it, but most of the code/assets are ready.
Amazing underrated game, I havent played in awhile but im thinking this weekend i might revisit and binge some quality Juice Galaxy.
Im so happy, please keep working on juice galaxy
Will do, thanks! ^^
This is why I love indie games, they just diferent, they are the best
Really cool update, toilet looks really trippy I love that, gg fish !
The clog hurts, spins and dies
I like the singing voice/hum rather than the boing for the jump
I like em both-- It's still there when you fly luckily
When I checked some upcoming stuff for this game since you can't think of a walking animation for the one enemy maybe he is stomping and swinging his arms around trying to hit you cuz I wanna see that enemy really badly looks really cool edit: maybe it could be a boss?
I was messing around by spawning multiple creators and i notice when i finnaly got rid of them all there was this strange thing than looks like a mix of a polywog and a peashooter from plants vs zombies. it cant be harmed or killed and it does not deal damage or try to attack. all it does is wiggle around a bit and look at you. was this in the creator update? Is it unrealated? Is it a secret?
Old prototype pollywog plant monster, I put it in for fun with a low spawnrate. I probably should have made it destructible though! In lore I consider them related to the pollywogs.
this is so good it deserves to be on steam
glad to see a new devlog, remember me when you get famous
I predict in a couple years, Swirly D will be as famous as Sans.
Hey Fishlicka! I just wanted to write this comment to say you are the best single indie game developer I have ever seen! You have made a really amazing masterpiece, and every update you make makes the game better! I am hoping that you continue to develop this game and make it better with all of your amazing updates!
Hey, thank you so much!
@@Fishlicka No problem, man. Will always be a big fan of your game.
Juice Galaxy is, not joking, one of the best game i ever played
Great stuff, i really like this game a lot!
Outstanding work 👍
I would like a Ocean Biome and there’s something scratching at my door help
Finally! thx 4 ur work!
oooo new update
i.think if its possible you should make a errie area that spawns randomly where its would be like the very early versions of the g ame with almost no monsters and no music at at all would be creepy and fun
we must be in the pipes of the communal clown toilet
Great update I just think that the lighting cutscene would burn my eyes playing it at night lol maybe it's little too saturated for me
Yes, I'll probably be nerfing that saturation soon! Seems I went overboard.
OH NO SWIRLY D HAS RISEN ONCE MOOORE
He has risen, once more
Is there a way to play the first version of the game? It only goes down to 1.5 for me
Edit: Oh wait that's right, you already have an epilepsy warning nvm, damn Swirly D. is a lightshow and a half now lol
I love the improvements to clog, his scariest move was when he bum rushed you, very glad it was made even scarier now.
I honestly liked the old Swirly cutscene, also his lighting attack are weird a bit.
I hope Swirly will be the main villain in this game, HE IS A STAR. He literally the most interesting character in the game..
Swirly lightning ⚡⚡
Our holy prophet has uploaded once again
love your update vids :)
this is why mario quit his job as a plumber
great rework
*boingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboing*
that updated lightning effect looks wayyy more trippy, incredible! :o
One minor question about the cutscene i have, if i may, is the lightning doesn't appear to be coming out of his hands as in the original. Was there a reason to make it more of a background thing, or just kind of a "ya know what i'll just do this instead" kinda thing?
Question:will wand of kinesis make a comeback and if so will it have the same sort of lightning as swirly D?
woo wwww
ngl, I kinda miss being able to fly and hover for long periods of time and just cruising while listening to the soothing/trippy tune play. If anyone even remembers that version of the game from years ago back when vsauce played this on stream.
He didn't remove flying
I do... would the possible addition of an antigravity potion ease your grief?
@@Gamxin I used my words accurately to what I was trying to say. I'm talking about when you could "for long periods" between being on a surface. In a very early build, you could fly non-stop for a very long time, as the stamina drain was very low when maxed, and the recharge made it to full very quickly. So you were basically just in the air like a dragon ball character, without a care. Was very satisfying, I'd fly for almost an hour toward a very high monster difficulty level and watch as the npcs got bigger and bigger.
@Griffi Mania I know, I've been playing since OG lol
@@Fishlicka I was thinking maybe the ability to be some end-game unlockable, like how you'd need enough stats to be able to hurtle up the statue in order to reach the giant berserk sword (back before you got it from Slithers), as I see how having seemingly infinite flight would impede the flow of combat and power progression in the game. But a potion would just just fine as well, as long as I get to travel with minimal interruptions to the flying music I'm happy. But thanks for the reply, dude. Wasn't expecting you to jump right away to a possible fix to such a knish issue for little ol' me.
Suggestion: add a shield or something that you can parry attacks with, dodging is cool, sure but imagine just deflecting the dudes arm and then a swing
It reminds of how water was done in Team Fortress 2. I've heard that when you are making maps in their Hammer editor, you can't make water on multiple levels, you just have to set the water level for the whole map.
It's definitely a good strategy! Lets you do convenient things like check if the camera is underwater using its y-position, and using elevation based fog for the water haze.
@@Fishlicka Huh right, I haven't thought about that. It really simplifies a lot of stuff.
It always felt bad to just bump into a wall and stop. if you add a cooldown for wall jumps make sure it's 1-2 seconds long so it can't be spammed but it won't slow down the player
