It's been another quiet week for Ninja Kiwi, so this is gonna be a short post. The Auckland office was half-powered on Monday and generator-powered on Tuesday but regularly-powered for the rest of the week, thank the Monkey God. This did have a slowing effect on the goings-on, but we got some good behind the scenes development done to bring you more cool stuff over the next weeks and months.
For updates this week we've only got Bloons Monkey City on the website, and the Amazon store versions of the BTD5 Mobile and Battles Mobile updates mentioned in previous blog posts. The Bloons Monkey City update was small, just a patch to fix up some of the Contested Territory issues (scores jumping around not being able to collect cash) and help with server stability.
Questions from the Comments:
When Bloons Monkey City is out of open beta, will our cities be wiped?
Nope. The beta label for BMC (and SAS4) shouldn't generally affect players. It's more of an indication of how we feel the game is standing up. A blurry term to be sure, but not one you need to worry about.
If you control a Contested Territory in BMC and cash is still in it when you lose control, what happens to the cash?
It disappears forever.
Can you confirm if there will be an NK merchandise store, and if it will be soon?
There will be one day. Soon is probably not the word I'd use, but it's not tremendously far away.
Is Windows phone one of the new platforms you mention with "games for different platforms"?
Nope. It would be great to have a Windows phone version of our games, but at the moment we would rather not take attention away from the iOS/Android versions for a relatively smaller user base.
Is there any talk or even consideration of new missions for SAS: Zombie Assault 4?
There is both talk and considerations.
Do you have any information to share about changes that could be made to the forums and site in general?
The forums are the main focus for web changes at the moment and they'll involve spreading the viewing area out, giving better editing tools and making things easier to read/follow on the whole. There are changes planned for the site in general, the most interesting one for me is having the home page work for individuals a bit more; give you guys easier access to the games you play and things you do the most.
Thanks for reading everyone! Remember to leave a comment if you have something to say.

Ishan1234 this game has been out for over a year and in this time of age if anything stays for about 6 months to 2 years it is already old it needs to move forward into the series they've been working on monkey city and battles a lot and battles is sort of mid aged and city is still young but compared to how long btd5 has been out it's more closer to the older age not if you look at other games like cod bf and mario they get a new game every year if you haven't realized bf4 and bfh are just a year seperate from development and older games can still get attention it's just newer games start the spark in the firey explosion of wow
@georgerivera69 "BTD5 is getting old" says the person who's barely played it.
what s bandwidth?
ok ok nice 2 know.
Um hi guys ive had a serious problem on CT today. I holded till round 22 and another guy held round 18 and got money not me :( plz fix this.
how about btd6 btd5 is getting really old and with the suggestions area there are things people put in there that i definitely loved to see but seemed virtually impossible to put in cause the coding the game has like banana farms showing total currency instead of pop count which seems like something you can't fix but that person made a point maybe if the next btd is being worked on with the much more modern day futuristic technology we have now you guys might be able to suggest even the strangest of all things that people voted for so as my question started are you guys working on the next legendary bloons tower defense game
Anything about the possible free skill reset?
ooooh a merchandise store.
Sun 2306. This has been answered multiple times in previous blog posts so the question is getting repetitive. Yes, BMC will be on mobile.
