Hey Ninjas, Tarn here this week!
What's been going on this week?
It’s been a busy week in the office. We had a few members travel to San Francisco for the annual Game Developer’s Conference. Everyone who attended has now returned safely and are heads down working on some really awesome stuff for the next round of content updates. Bloons TD 6 received a 9.1 update on Steam and iOS, and a 9.2 update on Android. This update fixed a number of save and device issues that were happening in the background as well as fixed the True Sun God bug and restored the missing Banana Farm text.

Questions from the comments:
Fighter campaign in TK please - while we're still around to play it preferably.
We love Tower Keepers and appreciate the support for the stalwart Fighter. Right now we’re extremely focused on multiple big updates to BTD 6, BATTD, and Battles, so we have to keep the energy there. Giving us feedback about the kinds of things you would like to see is the best way to influence them happening, though, so appreciate the request.
Why am I unable to view the profile page of a given account that is currently signed in?
Thanks for the heads up, we’re looking into it. You can now access your profile however, we’re still looking into the Wheel of Fate. Thanks for your patience while we figure this one out!
Does Churchill have legs?
It may be hard to believe but Churchill (when not fighting bloons) is a passionate devotee of the surfboard and was the first monkey to ride the River Severn’s five-foot tidal bore. He even designed his own board!
Why Rohan is Immy
He was enlisted into the Immy Army that rose up to take over Discord along with the help of the other Immians!
Can we please make BTD6 on ninjakiwi please, soon? I think many people would appreciate it.
We did respond to this last month, but in case folks missed it, it’s a tricky one with the current state of browser tech. Link to previous answer: https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173314-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-15th-february-2019
in the Boomerang V Ninja war that goes on in the background. which is the most likely to win?
Boomers dominate races but Ninjas are more reliable. It’s a dead tie in Monkey World of Dance, however.
What food do the monkey's eat other than bananas? Surely they have an abundance of food from the land they recaptured from the bloons!
They feast on victory.
Who does the upgrade art for BTD6? It's really good!
We’ve got an amazing team of artists who collectively work together to achieve this truly gorgeous game.
Whatever happened to those portal artifacts?
They accidentally fell into their own portal and got teleported to a new universe. In all seriousness, they were going to lead to an ultimate city in BMC but the multi-city design ended up causing problems for balance and production. So for now we like to think about it as U. As in potential energy for future designs.
That's all this week folks! Feel free to leave a question or a comment in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer it next week!

I'm going to guess wildly that the portal artifacts will find use in a hypothetical BMC 2 and maybe have some text about them not being a cruel joke this time around... heck, maybe the portal artifacts, once all 5 are collected, could open a gate to the Monkey Sage's Dimension for a super special mission where you can use him and beating said mission could raise the level cap of Monkey Knowledge...
BMC 2?

Are there any plans to bring Bloons TD 6 to consoles? (Ps4 and Xbox One?) My friend and I really enjoy Bloons TD 5 on Ps4 and we would really enjoy stopping those nasty bloons on Bloons TD 6 on Ps4. (or the highly unlikely scenario of BTDB or BMC coming to consoles.) Also, if a bloon were disguised as a banana, would the ninja notice first or the banana farmer???
Do you ever plan on creating more BTD Plushes, like the Super Monkey one?
What species are we in BTD Battles? We can order monkeys on the field, but we can also send bloons.
That is highly disappointing, that we can't get BTD6 on computers. I understand the uncertainty of everything with flash going away, but I would still like to get a new awesome game I can play on my desktop.
Why did u put powers in BTD battles?
uber stage for Gathering Storm/Temple of Terror/Egg Hunt?
Really NK, everyone really wants the Fighter Camp Camp, but all you care about is BTD Freaking battles which is so broken to the core & BATTD which is not even good really, due being a weird fusion of TK & BTD BTD6 is fine, but the other 2 ugh... Please NK actually makes the folks happy and give fighter camp even if it's somewhat not fully finished. Otherwise, you're breaking a promise and the competition was for naught.
