Jonathan's Adventure: Bickery Edition

What happened?


Okay, I thought that THIS week was the 5th anniversary (It's a fuck up on my part to assume that last year was the 2nd, which is actually the 4th.) of Jonathan's Adventure, and I gave myself fake panic because I didn't actually plan anything for it, aside from one very vague image of Jonathan. But my mind is like "Really? That much? Compared to the previous year?" and I say back to it "Well, isn't that expecting much from me, eh?"

So aside from the possibly-anxiety-inducing hustle, from checking some of the faces for the game, one character stuck out because the artwork for them was arguably funky. So I decided to give them a redraw, which is basically a version of Kabi.
Oh great. More comments of me being obsessive with the character. Quick, pull out the author's barely disguised fetish right now so we can capitalize on it. Next thing they'll do is make ANOTHER thing that is boring compared to its source material.

Now that I think about it, it's been around 2 years has passed ever since the original development and my god did it really change. Because the thing is that originally, it was just like the demo and that was it, so we then had to plan it more. Fights happened, then we get to the post-cancellation. The story of the game is much like the story of current game, but albeit with more characters based directly to people. But that was in the past, because now those characters were replaced by more original characters. In fact, I love the more current idea of the final boss than the idea of the final boss in the post-cancellation story, the final boss isn't exactly a person. Not to say they're not human, but more or less someone or something that anyone can imagine, regardless of their gender, their sexuality, their beliefs, or even their identity. But as much I want to talk about it, this is pretty much stepping into spoiler territory if it does happen.

Not related to JA, but considering that I'm replaying Tomodachi Life on my New 3DS XL (Which I'll get the Japanese CIA later.), I decided to put in the JA cast in the game. Hooray! Now, I'm definitely the second person to do this, I think it was someone named Allox or someone who did it first, but I'll share the QR Codes for you after I get one more week of play for it. Though, characters like Imasu and Sasara are really hard to imagine as a Mii, because Imasu never shows his face and Sasara's a Rotom, so try imagining how would that work. And also Kabi because she has no hair and I don't have an idea of making a fox Mii. So yay.
Also what's unbelievable is that I and Jonathan happen to have a 100% Friendship rating. And you're not going to believe the character's best and worst Friendship and Romance ratings.

Hi, I'm editor Bickery, I'm here to tell you that it's official:

Imasu Kazuo wants to fuck Sasara Kuruma.
They're dating right now.

This is like watching American Football and your team wins! Except I didn't plan this to happen anyway but SHIT HAPPENS.

So see y'all later on Imasu and Sasara's potential honeymoon.

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
