Welcome to the blog post for February 24th, 2017! The last few weeks have been chockablock with Tower Keepers and all sorts of other fancy stuff happening in the two NK offices. The teams are all hard at work on updates or new games (some announcements soon!) and if you didn't see we're starting to show one of our new IPs, Endless Adventure, here: https://twitter.com/NK_Endless
BTD5 coming out on Xbox One at the start of March!
Tower Keepers global launch is the main talking point from the last couple weeks. If you haven't got it yet make sure you head to the Google Play Store or App Store and grab it now! It's free and an awesome way to spend bus rides, car trips (if you're not driving) or to sneakily play while you're eating dinner. Check it out!
Bloon Drawing Competition!
This week I want some bloon drawings. They can be regular old bloons, MOAB-class or even some fancy new one you've invented yourself. Once you've got your picture, upload it to an image hosting site and post it in a comment below. The winners will be picked by me for next week's blog.
The prize will be a mystery prize for your game of choice.
Please pick from the following:
BTD5, BMC, SAS4 web
Battles, BMC, SAS4, Tower Keepers mobile
Include your mobile User ID if you're wanting a prize for mobile.
One entry per person
Please state the game you want your prize on
Include a forum title request if you're that way inclined
Entries close midday Friday March 3rd (NZT)
Have fun!
Questions from the Comments:
When do you select the questions you answer?
Friday as I'm making the blog post, though I check them during the week to see what I'll be working with.
Is it true that monkeys don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
That sounds made up but I don't know enough about jokes to prove it.
Can you publish an official schedule stating the dates of future Championships in SAS4?
They're not planned out much further than one at a time. Next one looks like it'll be March 1st :)
How can you keep updating BTD5 which is twice the age of SAS4?
The player count and ease of updating are the main factors
Will Ninja Kiwi port BTD5 to the Nintendo Switch?
Too early to say!
If you had to switch monkeys to any kind of other animal, and bloons to any other type of enemy, which would you choose?
Octopuses and shells.
Will we ever see the end of Endless Adventure?
No, but I guess there would be an end-game which is quite funny.
Battles mobile suggestion.
There will for sure be continued changes to towers and game balance. This update was sort of like shuffling the box to see the puzzle pieces from a different angle and we appreciate the time you've all taken giving us feedback :)
Tower Keepers web?
We've just got the game out globally and we're sorting all the new issues we've found. Not sure when we'll have more info about a web version!
Were you expecting the reaction to BTD5 being released on Xbox One (as opposed to the Switch due to the release date)?
In this industry you quickly let go of any sort of expectations about reactions :)
Thanks for stopping by. Get to drawing your bloons, have a great weekend, download Tower Keepers, and I'll see you all next week!

NK does something to fix the NK forums? They are broken for months.
Question: What do the pirates do to BFBS and MOABS? (ability)
