    Based off of previous feedback we've received in the past asking calendar artwork, we've decided to implement a feature that will allow you to download a high resolution version of the calendar backdrop artwork! There is a link on the clear bonus screen as well as here shown below. Look for the April calendar to start Monday, April 2 at 12am PDT!

    Bonus, as a fun little thank you to all our players today, we've also made previous calendar artwork available for download. Today we've got 5 past calendar backdrops, and I'll aim to post 5 more in every weekly TGIF post!

    I'd like to showcase more from the content and art teams, as well as random musings from the office. There's a lot that goes on here at KANO every week, I'd really like to show off the efforts of our hard working team that go into the games you love every single day. Please let us know in replies if these are things you're interested in seeing from us!

    More hi5 player scaling
    As we originally mentioned in our thread here: http://forums.kanoapps.com/showthread.php?6574-hi5-players-hired-adjustments
    We are continuing to monitor the hi5 players and their game activities. We are seeing situations where hi5 players are camping at their level and abusing their advantage over other players and racking up fight kills. while the majority have played through as we thought there are a few that seem content to just camp at the lower levels and rack up kills. The new adjustment is as follows, as long as the added friends is above the current max squad amount you should be taking them all in. Friends are not capped beyond the per level amount after 500.

    If we had more time with the original transfer and take what we know now into account, we would have handled this a lot differently. hi5 did not give us or any developer an acceptable schedule to deal with this problem. In short, it was not handled as best it could have been, we apologize for the post transfer adjustments, it was unavoidable. We have talked at nauseum about the hi5 transfer. We feel more confident that should there be forced transfers necessary, moving players from one network to another, that we will be better prepared to handle it better.

We have been told it's being worked on and a fix is coming soon. We want to re-iterate that this problem is on Facebook, not us. Please do not block the games from posting, a fix is coming. Thanks!
     
  2. (IDEAS) ZS: Inventory upgrade page now hides any item that is already fully upgraded

    Thank you so much. I know this may be a minor change, but I'm pleased that this was implemented. Now the game will flow much smoother.

    Just like devs...get good ideas for bosses and use bad ideas instead...and maybe switch up the challenges a bit...

    Maybe we can have a competition, Deltan. Design the background for a special Calender challenge?

    I like the idea, but there's legal issues surrounding ownership of artistry and things of that nature. I want to pursue that idea for user created items too! Hope it can be addressed in the future. :)
