Sayonara Wild Nightclub (Patreon)

news a few days outdated because i truly struggle to maintain even the most basic temporal consistency--

we've about finished up the night club for the time being-- and be "we" i mean "i" and "this is azzie's problem now." there's a lot of dialogue to be done, so she will just be living there for a  while while we go back to quests.
but
the functionality of all the various features is done

since we last talked about the battle pavilion and factory, that mainly includes

• Boss Rush Challenge
• Theme Teams
• Mix 'n Match

i've already talked about what each of these is supposed to be in a few places, but now we'll do it again from the point of what they are since it's all in game

for all three of three of these challenges take place at set level 100, and can provide BP in varying amounts. also in all cases, cass has done the lion's share of the team-building work, so like big props for her to making alllllllllllllllllllllllladis

Boss Rush

it won't be available right away, but you'll have the opportunity to run through some of the leaders all at once! no saving in between, no changing your team, but you will get healed. everyone has custom fields-- sometimes the same as before, sometimes not.
they also have legendaries
and just in case you win the first time, there's an even harder version of the challenge ready for rematch.
good luck !!!!

Theme Teams

this is where all of our rejected boss rush teams went. and then a bunch more, things that just happened like, what if shelly was running a water team? it's kind of become equal parts a dumping ground  and our personal playground for ideas. like a junkyard that kids play at despite the risk of getting tetanus. just a little scrape and you can take home that life-size kenta doll, isn't it so cute?

we're still filling out some of the character's rosters, and plan to have a minimum of two per each. some have as many as six right now. choose your fighter!

(this is a deliberately random assortment of characters so please don't assume it means anything for the story~)

Mix 'n Match

i'm gonna be honest, i don't know what anyone is gonna do with this, but at the point that we already had all the the theme teams, there's no reason not to just put the power in your hands and do it. Mix 'n Match is a doubles-exclusive challenge where you can pick any two opponents from the main cast, put them on any field, and go at it. 

to make it even more flexible, you can take your pick of a selection of partners to battle alongside you! some of the surviving cast members will sign up to be your partner, based on your relationship points with them. if they like you and are around, take them into battle with any of their theme teams! every surviving major cast member is an option, though i am genuinely unsure if it possible to get the points for all of them in a single playthrough...

alternatively, if you're feeling really brave (or lonely.) just fight the 6v12 yourself like a damn champion.

shout out to crim for the arc backsprite! since we gotta make them for everyone there's a lot to do but she has been absolutely killing them (with some help from smeargletail on the side too)!

maybe we'll post some more later, we'll see...

--

with that all done, it's time for me to hit the old dusty trail back to legendary quests. and i'm actually substantially more excited for them now that they're like The Main Thing on my plate. so we'll see how that goes.

...but we will probably see how it goes next week. we are doing the actual moving this weekend, which means we've got a lot of prep and packing to do this one, no idea how much i'm going to be able to get done among all that-- or if we'll even have internet at the new place right away ^^;

here's hoping...
