- Introducing SpriteMancer - 7 December 2022
Introducing SpriteMancer an all-in-one tool to create and animate effects! What is SpriteMancer? SpriteMancer is the product I've been working for a long time now. It's the combination of all my previous apps into one, and much more! SpriteMancer includes: Particle Editor, Dynamic Image Animation, Fluids Simulation, 3D Support, Node Graph, and more to come. What's going to happen to Juice FX now? All the apps mentioned before will still be supported and expanded with new features, despite SpriteMancer including the functionality there are certain things that can only be done in the original apps. Get it for free! SpriteMancer will be automatically added to your library If you have any of the following apps: Pixel FX Designer, Juice FX, Fluid FX or Smear FX at the moment SpriteMancer is released. All of this means less income to myself, but It's the best way I can say thanks to all of yo…
- Juice FX v1.3.2.0 now available! - 16 September 2022
Hey all! I've recently released Juice FX v2.0(beta) but being such a huge change in UI and workflow, I understand that some people might still prefer Juice FX v1.x, and I will continue giving support to it. I'd still suggest you to try v2.0(beta) for the new cool stuff like the node graph and easier layer management. CHANGES SINCE v1.3.1.1 - Added .gif support. - Vastly improved "Fade Out - Break" effect performance. - Fixed a bug that would crash the app when introducing a value manually and canceling the dialog. - Updated engine.

- Juice FX v2.0.0 Teaser - 31 December 2021
Hey everybody! First of all, I want to say that I hope you all have a beautiful 2022! I know 2021 has been rough for a lot of us, but 2022 is gonna be great. I swear! Before finishing this year, and after me not being able to finish the update I've been working on this whole year, I want to show you a tease of what's coming for Pixel FX Designer and Juice FX in the near future (hopefully January, If 2022 behaves). I've been working on different modules and a base foundation for the tools, this means that Pixel FX Designer & Juice FX (and the other apps in the future) will share the same core library, and that means that despite being for completely different purposes, I'll be able to (most of the times) work on bugfixes and new features for both apps at the same time. I'm showcasing 3 new things that will be added to both apps: Post-FX Node graphs, New layer system, 3D .obj support: Pos…

- Juice FX v1.2.0.1 hotfix and about v1.3 - 22 November 2020
Hello everybody! I've finally ported Juice FX to the new version of GMS v2.3, despite working on JuiceFX v1.3, I was reluctant to port it just because there was a lot of incompatible code with the new 2.3 syntaxis that would delay the update further and because I wanted to focus on solving the save/load issue. Funny thing is, I've ported it, and as soon as the port was finished, the save/load issue seems to be gone, which makes me think that it's been a GMS related bug all the time. I uploaded this version into a hidden "unstable" branch for Discord users to test it out, and it seems to be working fine now as it should. But have in mind that this update WON'T fix older corrupted projects, to do that we have a "de-corrupt" project tool in the tool's Discord. You can join if you haven't already here: https://discord.gg/azdqRf8 Last thing I wanted to say, that this is just a hotfix, It doe…
