Patch notes are imported from steam. There may be errors. This mostly exists so I can stay on top of them to update the features in our tags and scoring categories (which I do manually), but since many of you liked the idea of staying up to date with all the games in one place I'm working on making this data automated (right now I manually hit it every couple days) with better info and linking in with the game views.

There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.

Juicy Realm » Juicy Realm just turn two years old!

Juicy Realm is now two years old! Thank you all so much for supporting us through these two years. The game would never improve so much without your support.

When Juicy Realm launched on PC, we attracted quite a few players with the unique art-style and rich details. But there were a lot of problems with the game and the reviews were not great. Since then, we have made a lot of changes to the game. It was a long journey to how it is now, and to be selected for the Golden Hall of Fame by Famitsu.
