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!
Aaron
Hey, thank you so much, Aaron! I was itching to try this again after miserably failing the first time I tried this. I'm really glad you started this challenge again, Aaron, now I can finally do it right. Anyways, after that, dumb question time. If you had to play in the Olympics, which event would you play in?
If one NK character were to become a character in a Super Smash Bros. game, who'd you most direly want to see duking it out?
will there going to be new update on sas 4 ?
Do you ever wonder why so many people ask esoteric questions on these blog posts?
[deleted]
Why do the crates I get from level 2 bosses disappear and never come back when I switch cities?
@CWJ-D: As for the period in the title, it's your fault. In fact: http://i.imgur.com/pidD6Uw.png You put the period in the quote marks, and Aaron obviously put that too.
Unanswered Q's from last blog: "Questions: 1. Any hint at when aug rewards are coming to SAS 4 mobile? 2. Does the Black Box randomize its contents upon lvling up on SAS 4, and if so, why isn't it working for me-, is it tied to online connection? (Since I'm a offline player) 3. NK headquarters a gym or a pokestop? Or did it not even make the list... 4. Any rare pokemons in the NK offices? Or is it just infested with Pigeys and Ratattas? (Paragraph seems to be off still)" As to why people prefer the old forums, well, I loved the old forums for the ease of accessibility, I didn't have to create another account for basically the same site, and I'm way to used to the old dark backgrounds of the old forums, and when I transition to using the new forums, it's like someone shines a torch into my eyes, Yikes it's bright. New Questions: When you mail NK support, does it get sorted into urgent, and not urgent? I feel that replies from support are getting slowish around certain questions ('cough' mobile black box mechanics and NM boss loot'cough') compared to other stuff. Or is it because I left a wall of text, and no one in support wants to go through ALL of it?
Will there be a possibility of new city and updates for bmc? Example like DDT city honor and a snow monkey city :)
So I guess farewell for now. News (donkey ain't hawin' at me this time): - My 6th Daily Challenge "Purely Trash" was accepted today. Yee hah! - I have a new game on the forums, "Monkey Race". I'm sure a couple of you have already known about it and even currently playing it too. ^^ Shameless self-advertising. - I will attempt Dreadbloon, to level 40 this time! - I start school again next Wednesday. :( - Bloons TD Battles Flash is back in order once again! Hooray! - Server errors on BMC have gone whack over the past week... - Likewise, SAS 4's free boosts are now pseudoprizes. That's right... they're fake! That's all folks, hopefully there will be high hopes for Tower Keepers now.
