Questions from the comments:
will t5 descriptions be more..... decriptive in btdb2? players might want to know what their buying before buying it.
This is a BIG answer.
Is Battles 2 going to get a subtitle?
Like, Bloons TD Battles 2: The Return of Doctor Evil? No, no it’s not.
You mentioned before that a season structure will be in BTDB2 which makes me wonder how will seasons work, how long will they be, and what will make each season stand out from the prior?
Seasons will be under our control but a main consideration is giving players enough time to get used to any meta changes and still compete at the top of the leaderboards. We’re testing with six weeks but we’ll be tuning that timeframe.
What was BishBashBosh thinking when they placed their tack shooters?
“I wonder if anyone will notice that I placed this tack shooter here?”
Has there been talks of hero’s training there pets to help fight the bloons? I wonder what they would do
Firefox would burn them all up and then Roomba would vacuum the ashes away
What's down at Ninja Kiwi?
The ‘hood team, watchin’ television got me chasin’ dreams
Hey Ninja Kiwi, what's it gonna take to get Patrick Star as the third skin for Fusty? Maybe we could even get Bill F. on board?
Plenty of other heroes waiting for more (less legally endangering) skins.
Wait. There's a monkey inside every machine tower?
We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of said inner-monkeys. Certainly vis-a-vis any labor concerns you may have can be taken up with the appropriate union.
how come an army of lead to gold alchemists can't make a solid gold DDT which sells for 5000
Because reasons!
When did Tim Haywood start making the music?
Long before the Bloons invaded that is for sure!
Do the bloons floating in the sky in the game's intro get popped by darts shot by the monkey ace, or for another reason?
I feel a conspiracy theory coming on…
What are your thoughts on adding clans to Bloons TD 6?
We love multiplayer and team play, so we’re definitely thinking about how to pull especially skill based player performance together and connect that with friends or clans play to give competitive players something to push for. We need to get an improved friends feature in first, and some other super granular skill-based elements in the game besides races. So we’re keen, but this is many (many) updates away.
How come the art for the crossbow dart monkey shows darts at their hip, yet they fires arrows, and their crossbow is loaded with an arrow in the art?
Because art is awesome!
Why is Geared not an expert map despite its gimmick?
Picking map difficulties can sometimes be tricky, as you want to take into account playing it on every game mode from easy-standard through to CHIMPS. So some maps can be easier in certain modes but much harder in others. It’s an imperfect science
where did the druids get their cool capes?
Capes’R’Us
do you plan on adding other old maps to BTD6 like you did with park path?
Some fantastic maps in the other games for sure. We think about it but have lots of new maps ideas, too. Maybe we’ll run a poll about past favorites...
How long did it take the guys at Ninja Kiwi to make Sanctuary, and did your experience of making Geared help make the creation of Sanctuary's gimmick easier?
Funny story - we rewrote all the moving map code for Sanctuary. Ok, it wasn’t funny, I’m pretty sure some of our coders cried a little inside. So, to answer your question, no.
How come crossbow master is the only t5 we can have multiple of in singleplayer?
Because he’s so special!
Could we see some of those early dartling models / designs?
Yes!
Question: Since you said Meeblings could return if Bloons Pop is successful, will you remake more classic non btd gems, maybe a flash Renaissance? As much as I like btd It's kinda sad to see these old games left in the dust, and since flash is dead not many people are even willing to play them.
Never say never, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for Zeba 2 or Hotcorn Revenge or Rings 2 :)
What is NK's stance on fan games?
We love that fans are enthusiastic about our games enough to make fan games, stories, and art. We can’t endorse or approve anything without damaging our ability to enforce our IP rights, and we have to keep that spear sharp because there are lots of scammers out there. Sharing with friends doesn’t really come into competition with our games, communications, or community mindshare. But when lots of people are talking about and sharing even free versions of mods or fan games, that starts to compete with our business, and we reserve the right to take action if needed. We don’t want to, but if people truly are Ninja Kiwi fans, we hope they’ll understand we need to protect our games, team, and business.
do you guys ever plan on making a rejoin button for coop?
Rejoining is something we are working very hard on, but it is tricky tricky tricky. Please be patient!
Will the heroes have new voice lines for Bloons Pop?
Nope!
What is the name of the patch notes monkey in BATTD? i require answers.
Patcher
The number one question; is it pronounced "P-S-I" or "/(p)sī/"?
I pronounce it as “Sigh”
How does one cram that many bombs in a x-x-3 Bomb Shooter?
Pat comes in handy here.
When monkeys are sold, where do they go?
Home
Whats the next tower coming?
When it's ready!
Are you guys going to use reddit for the blogs now? (Also, I'm hyped for Bloons Pop and Battles 2, I'm so ready to grind battles 2)
Not exclusively! We post the blog to both Reddit and the Ninja Kiwi website and pull from both of them for our questions every week. :)
When will the druid be imprisoned for stealing the lightning and tornado from the wizard monkey
It was a gift!
Who do you believe is the most canonically powerful hero in the game. My guess is either Elizi or Ben but Psi is pretty tough for a kid.
Probably Adora!
What if people using mods were automatically matched with others using the same mods? Just a thought
It's a bit harder than that as while they may be using mods to do the same thing, it may not be the “same” mod!
Hey, here I am again, politely this time asking for more info on a potential SAS4 update; or SAS5. Cheers.
Unfortunately, we still don’t have any further information for SAS4 update or SAS5.
If someone wanted to, theoretically, try to actually pledge themselves to the Sun God, how would one do that?
Lots of sunbathing
How does ice monkey and Gwen get along with eachother?
They are really great at steaming each other up
what are the most and least common achievements in btd6?
Since the start of the year, Hero Powers Activate has been the most achieved-ment with 2.7M unlocks. Least common would be all of the new ones we just added!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!
- Sav and Tarn
when you said "lots of sunbathing" im guessing thats why adoras skin lookes like she does a lot of sun bathing?
whats the difference between monkey money and the money that you get from banana farms and popping bloons?
If towers go home when you sell them, does that mean village goes to its home?
Will skins for towers cost money in btd battles 2 or will it be free? (MM/Medallions.)
[deleted-MTMzMzYxNjY=]
Will we see Bloons Pop ever make its way to Steam or is it mobile exclusive?
How does the tech terror annihilate? Is it via the arms, or by barfing out energy from his mouth? Something else? Also, would it be possible to pay a couple bucks to remove ads in BTD Battles 2?
Good work, Ninja Kiwi coorperations! I hope you are having a good time. My own question to you would be if Bloons pop (my grandchildren are loving this game!) gets future updates, will it take up a lot more space, and if so, how long? Thank you ~ yours truly, President of the United States of America, Joesph Biden.

Why bloons pop is available in the Dutch language while BTD battles 2 won't be in Dutch?
