Another week has gone by and that means another blog post. Another blog post means another attempt to keep you up to date with what's going on at Ninja Kiwi. The big news this week is a new tower for Bloons TD Battles Mobile, but we've got a bit of info about an upcoming SAS4 update too.
BTD Battles Mobile 2.0 - COBRA
There's a new monkey in town. He's taking names and efficiently dispatching bad guys. COBRA (A.K.A Covert Ops Battles Response Agent) is a new tower just introduced to BTD Battles Mobile. He's armed with a trusty side arm and a bunch of very particular upgrades to change the Battles battlefield.
The COBRA is currently available for iOS and Android devices so make sure you grab the update now to see how the COBRA tower can expertly aid your Battles campaign.
SAS: Zombie Assault 4
The SAS4 update 'pie' mentioned previously is still baking away, but the cooks have been tasting it and the flavour is almost perfect.
An update is approaching at a rapid pace that will make SAS4 a little more... eventful for all you zombie slayers. Very soon you'll have more ways to zombie (zombie is a verb, right?) and more ways to get cool gear for your SAS dude to use.
Questions from the Comments:
When will the '300 at x' achievements in Battle Panic be possible without using a glitch?
While technically they are now, any changes are still up in the air for timing and specifics.
Does it get hot in your office with all the computers running?
It can get a bit warm in Summer, but the space is spacious and we have air-conditioning, so not really.
Will there be additional uses for cash in BMC?
There could be. It's something we would like to do, and have discussed, but it's not a high priority at the moment.
Will you add more quests to BMC?
Probably.
Do moderators and/or admins have trouble playing NK games often with their other responsibilities?
Besides real life responsibilities, moderators shouldn't generally have much trouble. Some admins don't get a whole lot of time to play during work hours though.
What new stuff can we expect in SAS4 in the near future? I've seen a couple of guns that will be added, but will there be more achievements, maps, armour, classes etc?
Any and all of those things are possible. Besides specific things that are asked for a lot (an example would be private matches before they were in) there's not anything that should be expected. Just a note though: you've seen a couple of guns that were in the game, but removed and will never be added.
Coke or Pepsi?
Coke.
McDonald's or Burger King?
McDonald's has a very slight edge but that can change on a daily basis.
Will players with accounts older than the Wheel of Fate get given free spins for previous levels?
Those players have received rewards for most of their levels already. We used to have set rewards for each level, but we changed that to the Wheel of Fate because the set rewards would make adding and removing games/rewards more difficult than it needed to be.
Those rewards were given out retroactively when we introduced them, and when we introduced the Wheel of Fate we gave players a certain number of free WoF spins depending on their level. There will be no more reimbursement for Wheel of Fate/Reward stuff.
Aaron, can you tell me what to put here?
Only you heart can tell you that. What does your heart say?
What's the status of The Dennis Conspiracy?
Not much of a conspiracy. He's just an ex-military security guard who happened to be the first guy on a certain space station to get infected.
What is the time you post these blogs?
Now. Some time between 4pm and 5pm on Friday. New Zealand time. (usually closer to 5pm)
Are Premium Buildings in BMC purely for decoration or will you make them help you in some way?
They are for decoration only. There are no plans to make them give any benefit.
Guys.
that's all
pls respond.
Aaron
Any more news about the portal artefact in BMC?
Is the SAS4 update going to be something like Daily Challenges?
The 2/4 COBRA is a bit OP...
Can we refund NK coins if there is a "reasonable" reason? (i.e. got all achievements in a game, game is "closed" or no longer updated, or you just don't use them anymore)
If you're trying to figure out a good way to spend cash in BMC, what about a new option for MvM? I would like to see an option to set the dense the bloons were send to your opponent. A scroll bar to verify the dense, maybe starting with costs like 10,000 for a little increased dense up to 200,000 for really high densed bloons. Because MvM can be played forever, there would always be a way to spend cash you don't need for your city.
Aaron, i'm so curious. Will you make your own DC ideas for BTD5. I really want to know your ideas. Especially, since you're an admin. :)
Mobile SAS4 is coming. Pretty close but still a little way away. Guns were removed from before anyone (public) played the game, the files were in the game still and that made people think they would appear at some point. There are no plans to make Premium Buildings not cost NK coins (mentioned in another blog post so I won't answer it again). I have a question. When can formatting work on blog comments? :o
Will an RBE be added to BMC?
Guns were removed? For those who have invested/saved those, did they get reimbursed? And which were they...
Coming soon: SAS 4 for mobile phones?
