Welcome, everyone. We haven't released much this week for you guys, but internally we've been busy testing a bunch of stuff to get it ready for you. New features for games, games for different platforms, even new games altogether if were lucky enough. It's the part of working for Ninja Kiwi that brings everything from awesome to More Awesomer, as we are wont to say.
BTD Mobile Games; A Video
Sam's here to tell you about the updates for Bloons TD 5 mobile and Bloons TD Battles mobile. Just like a Marvel movie, make sure you stay till after the credits.
Contested Territory
We've been watching discussions about Contested Territory in Bloons Monkey City to see what further changes could make it better. Higher levels are still seeing longer games than we want and motivation after one player pulls ahead too much are both things we'll be addressing in a future update.
Bloons TD Battles Web
We've recently migrated the BTD Battles web servers over to a better host. They are more powerful and we've seen an improvement on ping times when moving the mobile version's servers over in the past.
After this migration we have plans to do a larger infrastructure update to increase game stability. Moving forward we'll also be able to improve server selection for quick matches so that players get put together based on location which will further increase ping.
You may not notice much difference with just the move, but let us know if you have (or haven't).
Questions from the Comments
Any news on BTD5 Deluxe?
Unfortunately not at this point. There are parts moving that involve it, but nothing set enough to give a clue yet.
Have you stopped updating Battle Panic?
Battle Panic is in a similar position to Bloons Super Monkey 2. We have thoughts (and countless suggestions) but it's unlikely there will be an update for either game.
Peace out.
Are you still providing the free skill points reset? or still thinking about it.
So at least we know Deluxe isn't completely forgotten by NK. How sweet.
