JUICD Patch Notes #1 - May

A New Chapter Begins

Hey everyone,

Welcome to our first ever JUICD Patch Notes.

We’re going to use these updates to keep you in the loop with what’s happening behind the scenes, what we’re working on, what’s changing, and most importantly, where we want you to help shape what comes next.

JUICD has always been more than just an energy drink. At its best, it’s been a community of people from all walks of life who got around the brand because it felt like being part of something genuinely special. For a lot of people, that meant making friends, connecting with new people, and feeling like they belonged here.

And honestly, we know the community hasn’t had the love it deserves for a little while..

There’s been a lot that has happened behind the scenes, and while we won’t get into every single detail, what I will say is this:

Adam and I care a lot about JUICD.

A lot.

Together we want to bring back what made this community feel special in the first place, but also build it into something even cooler than it’s been before.
More regular drops. A better guild program. More lore. More reasons to be active in our community. More chances to actually shape what comes next.

This first Patch Notes update is basically the start of that.

Also, the timing feels pretty fitting..

JUICD turns 6 today, so this feels like the right moment to start a new chapter. 🥳

Let’s get into it.

The Guild Program

The JUICD Guild is one of the biggest things we want to rebuild properly.
A lot of you supported the brand with your codes, helped share launches, posted content, referred mates, and kept the brand moving when things were quieter than they should’ve been.

Firstly, thank you so much.

Secondly, we know we haven’t really taken it to the level we initially had set out to when we first launched the program.

In the mean-time we’ve stopped using Refersion and we’re currently working on moving everything across to a new system. Your codes are still active, and everything is still being tracked through Shopify, so any overdue commissions will be honoured before we move onto the new program/setup.

We don’t want to just copy and paste the old setup into a new platform, though.

If we’re rebuilding the Guild, we want to make it actually worth being part of.

That could mean better commission, more creator support, monthly guild quests, exclusive rewards, limited guild-only items, bigger prizes for top performers, or something more tied into the JUICD world and lore.

This is where we want your input.

Guild Poll Questions

Poll Question #1

What matters most to you in the JUICD Guild?

• Having your own discount code
• Earning commission/store credit
• Exclusive guild-only products
• Monthly quests and challenges
• Bigger rewards for top performers
• Early access to new drops
  

Poll Question #2

How would you prefer Guild rewards to work?

• More cash/commission focused
• More exclusive product and merch focused
• A mix of both
• Monthly leaderboard rewards
• Special rewards unlocked (e.g. getting samples of unreleased flavours to give feedback)
• Lore-based ranks and unlocks

Poll Question #3

Would you rather see Guild ranks based on:

• Sales
• Quests completed
• Community activity
• A mix of everything
  

We’ll use the answers here to help shape the next version of the Guild before we relaunch it properly. Polls questions can be answered in the discord. Click here.

Product Updates

We’re also working on the next stage of JUICD products.

A big part of this is bringing back some flavours people have been asking for, while also working on new flavours and a better formula.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been developing an improved formula with a new blend matrix we’ve been working on in-house + a new look.

We’re sampling this week, and while I don’t want to overpromise anything too early, the goal is simple:

We want JUICD to taste even better, feel even better, and be something you’re genuinely excited to use every day.

We know everyone has different priorities. Some of you care most about flavour. Some care about focus. Some want clean energy without feeling cracked out. Some just want your old fav flavours back.

So before we lock too much in, we want to hear from you.

Product Poll Questions

Poll Question #4

What matters the most to you in JUICD Energy?

• It has to taste genuinely good
• It helps me lock in and focus
• It gives me energy to get things done
• It helps me cut back on energy drink cans
• It feels like better value than buying cans

Poll Question #5

Which returning flavour do you want to see most?

• Slash Berry
• Neon Dimensions
• Grape Blast
• Shadow Ball
• Sweet Kiss
• Razor Melon
• Cherry Cannon
• Jaw Breaker
• Citrus Bomb
• Final Flash
• Bubble Beam
• Seismic Cola

Poll Question #6

What kind of new flavours do you want to see?

• Pink Lemonade
• Agave Lime
• Creaming Soda
• Strawberry Lemonade
• Orange Juice
• Ginger Beer
• Orange Crush Cordial
• Pina Colada
• Raspberry Apple

Poll Question #7

What kind of flavours do you want to see in our RTDs?

• Existing popular flavours
• Restock current flavours
• Some new flavours

We’ll also keep #product-suggestions open in discord, so if there’s a flavour, product idea, or JUICD concept you want us to look at, throw it in there.

No promise we can make everything! But we are reading it.

First Guild Quest

We’ll be kicking off our first official Guild Quest this month.

We’ll share a proper update soon with how it works, how to enter, and what you’ll be competing for.

For now, all I’ll say is this:

The reward is very cool.

And one of you is going to become part of JUICD history.

JUICD World

This is probably the part Adam and I are most excited about.

We’ve been working on a bunch of ideas to build out the JUICD world properly. Characters, lore, collectibles, game-style concepts, story pieces, Guild tie-ins, and some other things we probably shouldn’t talk about too early.

Some of it is just for fun.

Some of it will connect to future launches.

Some of it may become much bigger than that.

The main thing we want to do is make JUICD feel like a world again.

Not just a product.

A world with characters, stories, quests, drops, secrets, and weird little details for the people who actually pay attention.

We’ll share more over the next few Patch Notes, but for now, here are a few work-in-progress teasers Adam and I have been playing around with across a few different projects.

Note: none of this is final (some of it may change & some of it may never see the light of day)

But we want to start showing more of the process, because this community should feel like it’s part of the world we’re building, not just seeing the end product.

Lore Poll Questions

Poll Question #8

What kind of JUICD world content would you be most excited to see?

• Character lore
• Animated shorts
• Collectible cards
• Games
• Discord-only story drops
• Comics
• Physical collectibles

Poll Question #9

Would you want JUICD drops to have more story/lore attached to them?

• Yes, make every drop feel like part of the world
• Sometimes, only for bigger launches
• Not really, I mostly care about the product
• I like the idea but don’t want it to feel forced

What Happens Next

After this goes live, we’ll open the polls in Discord so everyone can vote.

Your votes won’t be the only thing we use to make decisions, but they’ll genuinely help guide where we take things.

We want the people who have actually been here, supported JUICD, used our products, shared their codes, made the content, and kept the community alive to have a say in what this becomes.

So please vote in our discord.

Please drop ideas in #product-suggestions.

Please tell us what you want more of.

And if something feels off, tell us that too.

That’s it for our first patch notes.

If you made it this far, I’d love to see more of your familiar names pop-up in the discord. We've created a #juicd-chat channel in discord to discuss all JUICD related things (& free up the general chat for more general topics).

We’ve got a lot to build. And we want you with us for it.
