  New Nav. Bar and a Sprinkling of Forum Changes Earlier today we updated the navigation bar at the top of ninjakiwi.com. It was only a few small changes: moving "blog" to a drop down "social" button with "forums" and adding links to Facebook and Twitter, as well as adding a dedicated "store" button for all your NK store visiting needs. Oh, there's also a new redness when you mouse over things, but that's by the by. We've also changed some ... read more

  Hi everyone. Unfortunately I have no news for you. No updates to draw attention to. No new things on the horizon to announce. No hints to give about future updates. I have drawn a healthy selection of questions from the comments, but otherwise I haven't got a whole lot to say this week.   Questions from the Comments Aaron, will you make your own Daily Challenge for Bloons TD 5? I have already! I believe every DC after Green Eyed Monsters (that doesn't have a user name li... read more

  The Serious Business SAS4 Update Edition The SAS: Zombie Assault 4 update, the one previously referred to as a pie, has just been served. The meat of the update is the new Event system. A timed game mode where players compete to earn a place on the leader board for sweet prizes. The better prizes are at the top of the board so make sure to stop by SAS4 and check them out! Of course, this isn't the whole meal... Alpha Virus The current Event is Alpha Virus. In Alpha Virus you must h... read more

  What's up Ninja Kiwi site visitors and general Ninja Kiwi game players? This week, SAS4 players received their first rewards from the Alpha Virus and Bounty events. The first batch of strongboxes, turrets and cash packs didn't go out as smoothly as we would've liked, but by now everyone should have received the correct rewards (and hopefully jumped feet first into a new Alpha Virus event!) Bloons TD 5 Mobile Update - Version 2.1 Update 2.1 is here for Bloons TD 5 mobile! Thi... read more

• SAS 4 Weapons Manufacturers

  News - 25 Sep 2014
  Hey Everyone, I was bumbling around the web as I often do at night and I ended up on the SAS4 Wiki which was awesome fun for me to read. It's such a long time ago now that we started penning the outline for SAS4 that I went back in to the early notes and found my original descriptions on the weapons manufacturers which I thought people might be interested to read. They're not very lengthy but I think they do add some game colour so I'll start with a couple here and then post a bunch ... read more

  If you rushed to the blog section of Ninja Kiwi a week ago you'll know that the New Zealand Game Developer's Conference was on and no blog post was going to arrive. It's been a week, so here's a blog post. A week ago it was Friday, and that Friday morning found almost everyone from Ninja Kiwi (Auckland), kitted out in the latest Ninja Kiwi t-shirts and hoodies, gathering at a cafe near the venue for NZGDC 2014. Some of us were taking our morning coffee and some were fu... read more

  News - 03 Oct 2014
  This week has been a week of extensive game testing. Developers have been putting up new versions of games multiple times a day, so that we can poke and prod them until a weakness is revealed. The developer then massages the game a bit and puts it back up for more poking and prodding. The updates we're testing are close. Expect SAS4 very early next week and all going to plan, BMC hot on its heels (in the game industry sense of course, where time spans mean nothing). But those upda... read more
