The NEW MAP EDITOR UPDATE! (Bloons TD 6)

[@BTDIsab]

This is the greatest thing to happen to BTD6 since they removed soulbind. Here's the discord mentioned at the end, a channel has been made where you’ll soon be able to submit maps 👀: discord.gg/btdisab

Hi do you know what time the update should release or the general time?

[@blitzotheviewer]

it would be cool to have entrances\exits in the middle like how midnight mansion has the door in the middle exit

[@zhiqiangchen6235]

I can’t wait for some maniac to make some stupidly difficult map, just for someone to beat it

[@جبنةتشان]

or dark castle or dark dungeons

[@جبنةتشان]

@@zhiqiangchen6235 but since you can't make a very short map, the only way to make it hard is to fill the map with obstacles just like ravine

[@bestintheband5114]

Yeah and areas where you can make it primary-towers only or one of the other types, like encrypted

[@blitzotheviewer]

I also hope there’s bloon only and Moab paths like workshop and cargo

[@mahiruchan6424]

I hope they add moab entrance as well.

[@duckified.]

i hope they allow us to specify whether bloons alternate paths between each round, kinda like water park, and maybe even assign patterns for the bloons to enter, like in bloody puddles.

This is an historic updare for the Bloons franchise, what an incredible feat that NK has managed to achieve with this Map Editor edit: I know BTD4 also had a map editor but we all know how that turned out, and also I'm talking about BTD not the Bloons games

[@somethinginventive153]

Updare lol

[@AceFuzzLord]

Technically this is the 2nd time NK has made a map editor for the BTD series, but yeah, it's historic for at least BTD6.

[@hauntiller]

This isn’t the first time there’s been community maps in Bloons as a whole, alpt of people forget about the MANY Bloons player pack games

[@daciannation5847]

​@@hauntilleryep its genius what they are doing, letting their absolutely diabolical side of the playerbase and creative side to coexist

[@antarcita999]

people also forgor about the track editor from btd4

[@DamageMaximo]

A great addition to the map editor would be a hue shifter slider for some props if not all of them, so you aren't stuck with their normal color which might not fit the theme of the map you are creating, and you can change it's color to fit your map, increasing the possibilities a lot

[@DeeJay694]

It'd be really cool if they did a daily map thing, like the daily challenges. Each day 1 or 2 maps get picked, maybe depending on difficulty, and for that day, beating them gives some rewards, like a little bit of monkey money or some powers.

[@bestintheband5114]

Idk if NK sees these comments or if ISAB gives them feedback or smth but this is a great idea

[@bestintheband5114]

So I hope they do

[@zekerdeath]

we've had regular dailys for years, they should just use custom maps in the daily challenges

[@XplosivDS]

[@nenrikido2903]

A bit like trackmania? Bloon of the day? XD

[@Rob-ct4xp]

In the UK, we pretty much exclusively use Pylon to just refer to high voltage transmission towers! We also use cones for those orange traffic objects.

[@AuroraTheFirstLight]

I hope more and more options are added to the editor

[@ijneb1248]

Since stuff like hero pets can be placed so I'm assuming that the trophy stores gonna start adding a bunch of new decorations that you can buy

[@meinman7591]

4:52 yep, people here call them either cones, traffic cones, and sometimes construction cones. Just like how we call lift's "elevators" or touches "flashlights"

[@mud4309]

Is that second half the British version, or the Canadian version? Because hes Canadian

[@ataready8810]

we call them witches hats in australia. Or just cones

[@SergeantButters]

We call them Klöenkën Dankērs here is Zé Deutschland

[@wjshood]

When Etienne get level 8 you get the shadow of the UCAV flying around the map but it doesn't really stick out. The dragon shadow for this skin is a lot more noticeable

[@Desturel]

UAV is the level 8 name. The C in UCAV is for combat. Unmanned Ariel Vehicle and Unmanned Combat Ariel Vehicle. So when it's just giving Camo vision it's a UAV, but when it's attacking it's UCAV.

[@ADudeWithAChannel]

This update should come out in 3 days. the current odyssey ends in 3 days, and this recent boss event was shortened to 2. The update should come shortly after the odyssey ends.

[@arti2074]

what i really hope to see later is tower type-specific terrain

[@kaiKudos]

yes they are typically called traffic cones or just cones here in America. i've only ever heard pylon used to talk about the poles holding up a bridge, but here it's used to talk about any kind of structural support (albeit not very often)

[@tammythenoob]

quite excited to see the potential to be had with a feature like this or just 10 "haha funny pp" maps every page that works too

[@samevans4834]

Yeah, I suppose the level of “curation” they’ll do remains to be seen

[@Somerandom1922]

You know what's weird. Canada, UK, and Australia usually have fairly similar words for things, but I've never heard a person call those Pylons. Pylons have always referred to something much taller in my head. In Australia they're either traffic cones, or witches hats.

[@worminaround]

Funny in the Philippines we both call it pylons and cones

[@_pyrothegod_]

Here in the uk I've never heard them be called pylons, they're always cones/traffic cones

[@LetsPlayMinecraft131]

Can’t wait for a stupidly hard map with a stupidly hard challenge to drop

[@yellowslotcar]

5:01 Yeah, the "pylons" are typically called traffic cones here in the states

[@SpeedyToco]

It’s really exciting that Bloons may grow to have a level creator community similar to that of Geomertry Dash’s. I anticipate the day that the communuty as a collective has it’s most memorable and innovative levels like Bloodbath and B

[@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK]

Etienne actually has the UCAV spawn at level 8 normally, it's just normally only a faint shadow iirc. It indicates it's provide the camo detection

[@destructivforce2894]

20:20 The dragon outline was etienne's UAV, which appears at level 8. The other 2 skins have a shadow instead, which is a little less visible.

[@CreatorProductionsOriginal]

I can already have some ideas of improvements to make Of course they shouldn’t be demanded immediately and more like, little fun stuff to add over updates Specially since 1. It’s not released yet, and 2. We ourselves haven’t seen until how far it can go Anyways, continuing Every category: - Of course, add more to each, specially to those that have little, but this will prob already happen over the next updates Paths; Round-based Paths - The starting path which the balloons will come out would be just one and would be random(or selected by map creator) and would re-randomize after X rounds (needs multiple paths, and the min X value would be 10, also, the actual path that will be used in the first round will be the path showed by the path indications) Event-triggered Paths - Let’s say you interact with a object in a map and a wall pops up and blocks one path, it would only make sense if that path isn’t available anymore until the wall is gone, so with these paths you could have a event that turns it on or off Terrain; Smooth transitions, like having a map that is part land part sand and a smooth natural looking translation between then, not a straight up line Category-Only Towers Terrain, basically, A part of the map which you can only place Primary or Military, etc. Objects; Interact-able objects Event-objects (like, if you interact with a object you could make so another object pop up) Round-based objects - basically, after / in X rounds the objects pops up or some other animation

[@xanderlastname3281]

I think even though the icon was a cross over a dart, i think ti was actually just no line of sight or something. like I guess it wouldn't really make sense to have a zone that blocks projectiles without an object associated with it (though that would be extra trolly) but at the same time I guess it doesn't make sense to have a zone that you cant see through without an object associated with it. idk.

[@CaptainCrazySpark]

If they could add some of the quality of life features and stuff ISAB talked about and custom rounds this could literally get a whole new game worth of functionality out of the bloons franchise

[@masterandexpert288]

Looks like there are some kinks to iron out, but overall looks really good! I can't wait to see what people make!

[@0ctagon]

Day 2 of suggesting: Would love to see you beat one two tree on chimps, but the only places you can put (damage) towers is in the extra range buff area. I did the challenge myself a while back and enjoyed it a lot, although I couldn't find a way to get past early game without placing something like a glue down outside of the extra range buff area

[@jasonfoxfire9563]

Looking forward to the map editor a ton. Gonna be super fun and there's so much potential to add onto it given numerous map gimmicks throughout the game. Like type specific zones, bloon teleportation spots, and maybe custom path ends to really let players have fun with customization

[@JZUSA1]

13:11 This is because the "No Projectiles Area" Is meant to have no monkeys shoot even if there's a bloon in the area. Not about projectiles getting blocked, but a towers range getting blocked.

[@epicwolves125]

Yeah it’s basically a line of sight blocker

[@dude-t8i]

i hope they let u use maps on custom challenges, imagine the creativity. this most likely will exist tho and when it does ima recreate the bloons td 1 map and then make it super hard, love your channel

[@TheRandomizerYT]

That invisible dragon flying at Lv.8 was similar to the shadow cast by Etienne's UCAV because that plane provides UAV (camo)

[@daniellynch2122]

4:52 Us Brits also call them cones/traffic cones. The term pylon is almost exclusively used for the things that hold up powerlines

[@xBrokenMirror2010x]

I do not like the arbitrary restrictions. NK should make them suggestions for length and endpoint/start-point, and let us do whatever we want, and just add a filter tag for "Experimental" with basically means that its not built abiding by the recommendations. If someone wants to make a map half the length of Blons that goes from the middle to the middle, let them. Who cares if they look weird, or whatever, its community content, no one expects it to be made perfectly. I also hope to see some complex map tools. Sellable Blockers, and advanced path editing, where we can assign rounds to each track, or assign bloon types. Paths that Split, paths that merge, Paths that leave the map, then start again on another path. Ideally, with the ability to do something advanced, like for example Bloonairus Prime having a track for Prime Rounds, maybe I want a path for rounds divisible by 3, or rounds that are perfect squares. Let us go nuts. I'd also like to see map obstacles and hazards, unlike LoS Blockers. For example, maybe a purchasable glue trap, or a spot on the map that grants bloons Regrow/Camo/Fort Properties if they reach it. I think that could be cool to play with. Imagine a map where the bloons enter on one path and they're all fortified, but when they exit, they enter the 2nd path, but they lose fortified properties but gain regrow properties. I think you could do really cool stuff with tools like that. Another feature I'd like is custom rounds. I think it would be really cool to have a map with unique custom rounds. Maybe I want to make a LONGBOI map, but the caveat is that the rounds are substantially harder to compensate for the map length being longer then logs. Perhaps, Yellows on round 4 kind of scary! On-top of that, I'd like to see Bossbloon Support and Race support for custom maps, so we can do Bosses and Races on custom maps without having to mod the game. Maybe this is more of a challenge editor thing though. Since Custom Maps will NEVER be eligible for races/bosses unless specifically curated by NK, I think its fair to say this matters to custom maps. Yet another feature I'd like to see is custom properties for maps. Basically a built in challenge editor properties bar that globally effects all gamemodes of a map. So for example, on a custom map, all bloons and MOABs may move 20% faster, in all gamemodes, its a basic property of the map. If a challenge is built ontop of the custom map in Challenge Editor, it would stack with the map properties. This can also include properties like an Income Multiplier, maybe a map is half cash by default in all gamemodes because someone is sadistic, or even double cash. Maybe double farm income but half pop income, or vice versa. Lots of possibilities for unique map bonus'. However, I do understand why we will never have the following features, even if I want them. Custom Textures, Custom Props. I get it. No dicks. Its sad, but I agree, I don't want the gallery to be full of dick pics either... why not officially support modded, and have a modded gallery through? This could include the modded challenge editor stuff. So people who play modded can share with eachother. Totally hidden from people who play without mods, and officially supported, not officially endorsed, so you're not on the hook for filtering the dicks! Just add the API to install mods, and have the modded gallery show what mods need to be installed for a map. More or less, Gmod, but with BLOONS!
