Weekly mod news 17/11/2024 "The start of the super monkey's rework"
Bloons mod: "Super monkey reworks"
1. Super monkey now has mid-air firing frames!
2. new skins made: Sun avatar, dark knight, dark champion, legend of the night.
3. new upgrade for the super monkey: Awesome boots! This togglable item allows the superb ability to fly freely, but at the cost of quickly draining the super monkey ability bar while active.
4. Super monkey upgrades reworked: default, 100, 200, 010, 020, 001 & 002
5. laser vision & plasma vision upgrades gain a new charge attack that while holding down altfire fires a constant almost-hitscan laser/plasma beam but slowing the user in the process and draining super ability ammo as long as the button is held.
6. Discovered an unintentional set of code that gave the super monkey 2 ammo regen warpers instead of one, that is fixed now as I decided to delete one of them but made the remaining one twice as powerful. As I liked the results it was giving.
7. Did a private online test (by myself) and two bugs were found, **first, round messages don't appear online for some reason, and the second one is monkey corpses remain when the player dies.** both of them are fixed now.
8. Fixed a bug that Somehow was created while reworking the super monkey making the game more and more laggy every second you played as the super monkey for some reason?
Plans for next week? I plan on continuing the super monkey this week and making a video as well, either I work on the robo monkey path or the dark knight path, the sun temple will be saved for last due to it's gimmicks. I plan to make a video this week as well, "Cobra's guide to the bloons mod! Introduction & the dart monkey class".
I know a free flight ability will sound busted, but I'm trying really hard to balance it as I still need to figure out a good cost for this optional upgrade.

Weekly mod news 24/11/2024 "Week 2 of the super monkey's rework"
Bloons mod: "Super monkey reworks: robo monkey path & other small touches"
1. Robo monkey, Tech terror & Anti Bloon upgrades have been reworked from an upgrade with a few firing formations to a dual wielding weapon swapping machine, firing darts or boomerangs, what you choose is your choice! Darts being easier to aim and fire faster, while boomerangs are better for pierce and area clearing but fire a little bit slower and are harder to hit than darts. Also you get this choice with each hand, your not just limited to only darts or only rangs, you can mix them to have your left hand fire darts and the other hand fire rangs! Or even the inverse! Tech terror onward gain a third option, missiles that deal 2 layers of damage in a wide area with a pierce of 30 but has a 4x slower firing speed than darts & rangs.
2. New huds: Robo monkey/030 super monkey
3. Spikeball/300dart, juggernaut/400dart, & ultra juggernaut/500dart all got a damage buff alongside a projectile buff that when the spikeball hits the ground after enough bounces it stays there for a bit before disappearing poping a total of: 10 bloons for spikeball/300dart, and 20 for juggernaut/400dart & ultra juggernaut/500dart
4. boomerang monkey upgrades: Glaives/200boomerang, Glaive ricochet/300boomerang, M.O.A.R Glaives/400boomerang, Glaive Lord/500boomerang, all got a new hud frame as holding the glaive in the idle frame blocked most of the screen.
Platformer mod: "Platformer mod news? after 5 weeks?"
1. started on stone man's level.
Other:
1. Started work on video: CobrasBloonsMod: Introduction & dart monkey!
Plans for next week? I either will spend my time working on the bloons mod introduction video or the dark knight path for the super monkey. It will be one or the other as I'm going to be busy this week.

Weekly mod news 1/12/2024 "Week 3 of the super monkey's rework & finishing a video! As we enter the jolly time of the year!"
Bloons mod: "Super monkey optimization and more neat additions/fixes"
1. Robo monkey to Anti bloon upgrades getting small touch ups that I couldn't get done last week.
2. super monkey flight is binded to Reload now, this change was made to make it easier for super monkey robo monkey path players to cycle through items as no one wants to cycle through 3 items just to change an arm weapon, now they only need to cycle through two items "LeftArmChange" & "RightArmChange" While Tech terror & anti bloon explosion ability will be binded to Zoom.
3. Patched an exploit that would allow glaive lord/500 boomerang, to go and kill all their teammates using the glaive orbitals.
4. New damagetypes: Plasma3Layer (3layer plasma damage), PlasmaBLOONPUSH (2layer plasma damage + push) & MOABPUSH (7layer neutral damage + push)
5. Spikeball/300Dart price buffed: 580 > 720
6. Juggernaut/400Dart price buffed: 1240 > 1400
7. Super fan club/040Dart price nerfed: 4370 > 3470
8. plasma fan club/050Dart price nerfed: 26800 > 22800
9. Boomerang monkey trajectory adjusted to be way easier to hit bloons with.
Other:
1. Published video: CobrasBloonsMod: Introduction & dart monkey!
Plans for next week? I'm going to put the super monkey on hold for this week so I can work on Vclasses, I did fix the boomerang monkey trajectory as compensation for me not working on the bloons mod for the upcoming week. But I'll be back to this mod when the next mod news releases!
The trajectory for the boomerang monkey is now 40 degrees to the left or right instead of 80, while long rangs went from 55 degrees to 27.5 degrees, it does not seem interesting but they are way better to use now as you don't need to turn 45 degrees to hit your target now!

No mod news this week but a hint to this week's content,
Now let's see how much I can do with a power boost from last week?

Weekly mod news 15/12/2024 "Week 4 of the super monkey's rework"
Bloons mod: "Updated a map & the power of the sun!"
1. Map updated: Boat at sea, going from a poorly made map to a much better map having two floors and more space also being compatible with the new bloon machine.
2. Made temple altars that act like additional upgrades for the sun temple upgrade, these upgrades become purchasable once a sun temple is made.
3. implemented UI icons for robo monkey to anti bloon weapon arm settings.
4. new damage type: Plasma5Layer *wip*
5. Upgrades reworked: sunAvatar/300Super, sunTemple/400Super, True sun god/500Super.
6. Sun temple upgrade has two unique mechanics that makes it stand out from every other upgrade so far!
7. When a sun temple is active the player who owns it can't be damaged by normal bloons but instead of chasing you they look for the temple you own damaging that instead, moabs on the other end still damage you, but do less.
8. Super monkey projectile sprites updated!
9. new super monkey skins: True sun god, Robo monkey,
Other:
1. Tower defence prototype mod has been put into the scrapped ideas bin as I barely worked on it at all.
Plans for next week? I thought it would take two weeks well the code is all done but if I wanted cool looking FX for the temple I'd need another week for that. Instead I'll spend this week covering the last path for the super monkey, the dark knight path! Also I only have two skins left to make so that's an upside. Also expect a mod works slowdown after the next mod works due to Christmas!

Weekly mod news 22/12/2024 "Week 5 of the super monkey's rework"
Bloons mod: "The dark titans of both monkeys & bloons, Dark knight! & DDT!"
1. new super monkey skins: Tech terror, Anti Bloon
2. super monkey upgrades reworked: dark knight/003super, dark champion/004super, LegendOfTheNight/005Super.
3. Fixed a rare softlock that moab-class/blimp class bloons would phase through normal projectiles and only be damaged by explosives.
4. Dart monkeys can buy more than one of each upgrade of banana farm! (If you hold a 000BananaFarm you can buy either a 100Bananafarm or a 010Bananafarm, bottom path is not implemented due to needing to rework the whole thing to get any good ideas.)
5. ninja monkey sticky bombs can be seen on moab class bloons now!
6. DDTs have come back from their training grounds to keep up with the newly upgraded cast. Beware of their new sprint ability as they are much scarier than a yellow or pink bloon using it.
7. made visual effects for dark knight's dark shift ability when used.
Plans for next week? I'm going to do some last additions before doing a massive class power testing wave, this week will have less mod works due to the current schedule I have but it should return back to normal at the end of the week.

That's good to hear! I'm going to have a public beta up somewhere in January 2025, I'm just doing some final additions for the beta and bug fixing to make the experience even better.
