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!

"Why do people hate the new forums?" There were at start no interesting topics so i didn't register, and i stopped looking at it. The old forum were well "running" and resetting stopped it imo. Still playing the games i like, and probably will register later when the new forums have more activity. I think they are as good as the old ones if not even better.

"What did the old forums have that new forums don't?" An active community and interesting conversations
Could you make it so that when you have free towers available on BTD5, you can choose not to use them as your very next towers? I hate when I'm trying to save them for a difficult scenario, but whatever challenge I'm playing requires me to use them.
Might we one day see non splitting ceramics within mobile contested territory?
If John put a triangular cotton swab out the window of an airplane moving the length of a string of Christmas lights every round in BTDB, how many sugar quadrilaterals would Samantha put in her black rubber socks?
@big buff tower keepers is coming out for unity.

Plain waffle cones or chocolate waffle cones?
