Hello everyone! November approaches! A particularly busy time of the year where Ninja Kiwi squashes its festive cheer back into the drawer until we get everything in order for 2016. There's plenty of updates getting built for y'all and new versions of current games getting prepped and polished. Lots of new stuff, long awaited features and otherwise exciting possibilities await!
SAS Zombie Assault 4 Web - Premium weapons some more Halloween goodness
SAS4 Web now has 3 brand new premium weapons!. The CM505 Alpha Ltd. Edition, Handkanone and HIKS S4000 will all be in store this weekend so have a look and see if you're interested in picking one up. If not, your desire for a fancy new weapon can be sated by some Halloween themed weapon reskins for handful of existing guns.
Over the Halloween weekend certain guns will drop with a new name and description as well as some pretty effects. These guns are only available over Halloween so keep an eye out for them when you're opening your strongboxes... they do stand out a bit.
A new Lone Wolf championship has started recently too! There's still 6 days left to earn medals and see what fantastic prizes you can earn. There's even a new Championship weapon up for grabs for those who can make it to the top!

Questions from the Comments:
Is there any chance BTD5 Mobile will get cloud saving?
Yes, there's every chance. No ETA for it yet!
Are you guys still thinking about being able to log into your NK account on mobile and incorporating AP/stuff like that?
This will not happen for any current mobile games. The first game that could possibly have some web/mobile crossover is Fortress Destroyer and that depends on a lot of things so I wouldn't expect it just yet. When we eventually do have more cross-platform stuff I am not sure if it will include AP and/or how the connection will work. You may have a mobile account and a web account that are connected in some way but not the same (this is an idea, we don't have any information about this as we aren't working on it at the moment)
Could you add AP to Flur please?
No sorry :(
Can you give credit to the person who makes the question?
I don't want to. I often combine questions but I also feel people should ask questions for the answer, not to have their name up here :) Happy to be convinced if you've got a reason for including the names.
Will there be any new maps coming to SAS4 before 2016?
I'd say no because that's most likely. Still a little while to go though so I guess something could happen.
Will this comment be featured on your next post?
No. Wait, yes.
Why did you choose the various colours for the different account ranks? (AP ranks)
The aesthetic progression we've chosen is deeply ingrained in us. To attempt an explanation would be impossible.
Will there ever be a new bloon type/MOAB-class bloon?
Yes.
Is mobile going to to follow the web version's update order?
Nope. The order will be kinda similar but sometimes we find a particular new thing deserves to get added earlier for the amount of benefit it has to the game/players.
Where did you get the idea to name Dark Dirigible Titan as DDT?
The acronym really made itself :) But the DDT name idea did come from the poison.
When is x coming? Will you add y? How many pieces of wood could you actually chuck? Why didn't you answer such and such question?
If you're question isn't answered it means I have answered it before, don't have an answer, I'm not ready to answer etc. It could also be a silly question but we don't get too many of those. Please just ask again if it's something you really want to know the answer to but maybe take a second to think about it from our point of view (i.e. we're not going to tell you we're making a new game just because you ask) or checking in case it's answered elsewhere. If you think it is important and have asked before, please mention that when you ask again as I may not be aware you think it's important.
Thanks for reading! Your eyeballs have been great company!
A small heads up: after next week's blog post there won't be another from me till November 27.
