Hi everyone! This week I've been hard at work playing Tower Keepers! I'm hopeful we'll be able to get it into your hands "soon" so we can start working on final polish in preparation for launch. Besides that we haven't had a whole lot we can talk about, but because there won't be a blog post next week, I'm sure we'll be able to get something fun to show you by the next blog post.

Questions from the Comments:
So there won't be any new Flash games?
Correct.
Any plans to add new stuff to Fortress Destroyer?
There are plans for content but no current plans for getting it into the game.
Is it possible to change existing non-Co-op maps to be Co-op?
It's certainly possible. Could be something to look into :)
Will there be more contests that will award a title change? If so, what would happen if someone who already has a custom title wins it?
Yes. They can change again? Or change someone else's...
Why do people hate the new forums? What did the old forums have that new forums don't?
I think the simplicity of the old forums can be appealing. Maybe someone can give their opinion in the comments :)
Are you running out of titles for the increasing levels of AP?
It's a bit like when you draw a title and the last letters have to be smaller and smaller to make it fit... But we'll think of something.
Waffle cone or sugar cone?
Waffle cone. Next question.
Will there be another "Design a BTD5 Map" contest?
I've got high hopes for a design-a-map competition. I think everyone's on board so it's just about getting some time in our development schedule.
What will become of BTD5 Deluxe's content?
At this point there aren't any plans to recreate the exclusive content for web or mobile/Steam.
Will Bloons Super Monkey 2 mobile be released soon?
"Soon" yes. Not far away but it's not quite time to be checking the app store every day.
Thanks for stopping by everyone! I won't be here next week so have a good time, write a short story if you want and leave any questions/comments below!

@PenguinForce: *Inb4 CWJ-D makes into the Top 3* Nope, in my dreams, ahahaha Anyway Aaron, I sent you my story, and I expect a prize.
Look! Another SAS4 Championship. Time to post this again. http://i.imgur.com/yBAAuAi.jpg Don't even need to wait 7 days to see the result, One can easily predict it right the way unless the cats are too busy chewing their catnip.
Never underestimate people's laziness. In the past you could simply stop by and have a brief look into the forums (being able to post). Today you have to log in once more. Sounds simple, but it made me ignore the new forum very quickly. Today is devided what has been united in the past (for example the posts tab on your profile). Just once I felt the need to post something in the new forum - and ran into the "You have to make 5 posts before being allowed to start a new topic yourself"-wall. Haven't visited the new forum ever since. I feel a little sorry for that but that's just how my sick brain works...
will there be a bloons tower defense 6 or bloons monckey city 2?
finally done my story :)
The simplicity is a huge bonus that the new forums don't quite have, it's kinda how the Nintendo Wii was loved much more than the Wii U. My personal reason for loving the old [archive] forums was not only because I joined there in the very beginning, but that I have very fond memories. Users were more connected with the games, and actively acted as a tight community. Things change, time goes forward, but there's something about the past that made me love NinjaKiwi a bit more than right now. [Not saying I still don't love NK] ;)
