Weekly mod news 27/4/2025 "Ending the month with one last giant bloon rush!"
Bloons mod: "The last week of a giant Bloon recoding month"
1. Made attack icons for Mortar monkey
2. made attack icons for glue gunner/monkey
3. Remade Purple bloons, their ability is being immune to energy/fire debuffs while taking less damage from these damagetypes (Energy, Fire, Plasma)
4. Remade Lead bloons, they are the same as before but now having the same movement pattern as all the normal bloons.
5. Moab-class bloons have been recoded with more passive abilities to make them tougher!
Defensive Bloons: When damaged it will spawn bloon decoys and the lower the Moab-class Bloon's health, will release higher tier decoys. But they also inherit the Moab's current Debuffs so use that to your advantage!
Thick skinned: due to the thick layer of a moab, it soaks up a bunch of pierce from projectiles that hit it. Also not passing DOT effects onto its children when popped. But that doesn't stop you from applying the debuffs the moment they spawn in!
Big size: Some projectiles may hit this bloon multiple times, but thanks to "Thick skinned" projectiles have a hard time piercing through them.
6. Moab class bloons shouldn't be able to instantly zip towards you now when taking a lot of damage at once.
7. Bloon decoys now exist (Bloons that drop no money on death, are usually seen by the Moab-class ability: Defensive Bloons)
8. Re-added the "Stunned" state to the base red bloon! (Yes I forgot to fix this one.)
9. Reworked the afterburn warper to only work on Moabs as all other bloons do it themselves, and lasting way longer.
Other:
1.
Plans for next week? Well I'll get the showcase video out soon like usual, but as I have the bloon code done I can now get onto fixing the monkeys! And add some new gimmicks while I'm at it! But I'll take a small break first...

Weekly mod news 11/5/2025 "Monkey updates & upgrades"
Bloons mod: "Implementing icons & updating base code, and *breathes in* **The Glue gunner buffs are REEEEEEEEEAAAALLL!**"
1. Implemented Sniper monkey vertical attack icons.
2. Added more sounds from the bloons series into the mod! Sadly it doubled the file size...
3. Super & Plasma fan club ability now gives its buff to all dart monkeys in the map, causing increased firing speed to all monkeys up to a certain tier.
(Base fan club, goes up to tier 3, that means spike-o-pult & crossbow can be given this buff)
(Plasma fan club, speed buff goes to tier 4, but passive +1 layer damage & plasma property affects all monkeys, including Ultra juggernaut & Crossbow Master! (they do crusher damage instead!))
4. Global buff giver updated to fit Super & plasma fanclub buffs.
5. Made basic templates for projectiles & other stuff to save space & make modding easier.
6. Glue gunner getting buffs:
Glue shots can pop a basic 1 HP Bloon in 3 shots flat,
Missed glue shots become short lived glue puddles, bottom path upgrades extend the lifetime!
Glue rain is way more powerful, but it did get a pierce reduction.
7. Dart, Glue, Sniper & Ninja monkey projectiles updated!
8. Added LongGlueCorrosive (201 glue) state while also fixing an exploit allowing any Bloon (Not Moab-Class) to be deleted by "LongGlue" damagetype.
9. Sharpshooter & Crossbow master crits have timers between each Crit shot instead of RNG.
Other:
1.
Plans for next week? A bunch of great changes this week! I plan to tackle the code updates of Boomerang, Super & more of the Ninja monkeys next week.

Weekly mod news 18/5/2025 "More code updates"
Bloons mod: "Super powerful Sniper precision shot, Ninja sticky bomb reworks + more!"
1. Updates to Flash bomb explosion code, allowing for decamo, taking layers & stunning all in one attack! (If you use Counter espionage or 020Ninja for short)
2. updates to afterburn warper, allowing for it to be refreshed by afterburn inducing attacks.
3. Ninja monkeys can now use the Sai when spawning in, Crouching ninja & Shadow double are both binded to the Zoom button & are one single optional upgrade now. (Pending rework for Crounching ninja)
4. Prices have been adjusted for the Katana & Ninja technique optional upgrades, while also fixing a price bug on it.
Katana: 900 > 1200
Techniques: 1000 & 2000 > 4000
5. Ninja monkey "Crouching ninja" technique reworked to be a fast & precise movement tool, useful for popping a few Bloons or as a get out option. (Still need to add high tier upgraded versions)
6. started working on a new map
7. Updated some of the boomerang monkey code! Now all boomerangs account for pitch!
Plans for next week? Some alright progress this week, but I plan to handle the super monkey updates in the upcoming week & polish more abilities afterward.

Weekly mod news 31/5/2025 "Autumn comes to an end, as we prepare for the cold winter. + YT Channel anniversary!"
Bloons mod: "Well I guess some optimizations before Winter?"
1. Fixed names for a bunch of sounds
2. Optimized dart super & plasma fanclub ability code.
3. Some minor bug fixes that are not really worth mentioning
Other:
1. Made video: Skullsnake's 4 year anniversary! (Mod news showcase May)
Plans for next week? I was originally planning to have a new beta for June as a yearly tradition, but some of the reworked code & new kit additions needs more time before that could be released. Instead I'll save the new features for the full release of the mod that should be done by the end of the year if things go well! Now I'm either going to make some visual effects to ease some stress & relax in the upcoming week.
