Hey everyone. Recently a lot of new users have joined MB level building so it seems like a perfect time to host another event, this time a bit unusual one. This event is all about making a level in 48 hours or less. Doesn't matter if it's done in level editor, Quark Constructor, Notepad,if you have just started getting into making levels or you have been doing it for years. If you can make a level, we want to see it. During this event everyone will also have chance to participate in multiplayer testing matches (they will work for singleplayer levels too) where level makers will will be able to receive feedback directly from players and improve their creations . In addition some people will be streaming so it should turn out fun experience for everyone participating. Since this is a jam there will be no winners, however anyone who participates will receive a new sparkly flair on their profile to enjoy.
Event will take place from 11th to 13th of march, (Check your timezone below):
Start: 11th of March 4PM CST (Central standard time US) Click this to check time at your location
End: 13th of March 5PM CST* (Central standard time US) Click this to check time at your location
*event ends at 5pm since America has daylight savings clock turning at 13.03

Five years and eight months ago the Platinum Team has showcased the first trailer for PlatinumQuest. Plenty of hype occurred since and future spotlights were released, but that was the last we have seen for almost three and a half years.
Today the Platinum Team is proud to present to all Marble Blasters around the world the next trailer for PlatinumQuest. It showcases plenty of new levels, and how far we have come since we last presented to the public. With over 120 levels and still going, PlatinumQuest is the biggest mod since Platinum, and with much more work to do, we have little doubt that this number will keep rising.
PlatinumQuest will arrive inside Marble Blast Platinum, as 2.00, and will revolutionise the way the game is played. With many new game modes and features, it is set to be the most exciting Marble Blast mod ever released.
We want to thank the many staff members, past and present, for their tireless work on the mod, as well as the community for supporting us throughout the years.
More about PlatinumQuest will be unveiled in the upcoming months, so stay tuned!
Credits to Uil for making this trailer!

After an awful lot of testing, making notes, organizing (Promarbler where?) and being frustrated with SourceTree, the CLA team, consisting of Kalle29, Kurt, Promarbler, Threefolder and I can finally say that the CLA is close to being done.
What we haven't told you yet is that, while we were playing through those levels, we also got the chance to create 10 more level packs. Based on ratings by all of us, we have chosen 51 levels that will be added to the Leaderboards!
We hope you enjoy, and we will keep an eye out for people that spam too many WR messages

Hey everyone,
It is my pleasure to finally release Marble Blast Fubar Beta Build 40000 for public testing. Included in this build is your first look at Marble Blast Fubar's Exploration levels. I will be releasing additional Exploration content over the next few months, so be sure to check the release notes carefully for new additions to this exciting game mode!
In addition to the new game mode, today marks the first of three Player Level Resets, as mentioned in my initial news post. Any player that was above level 14 has been reduced to Level 14 (with maximum experience) and 0 Credits. This is to ensure proper and fair testing of the new Exploration Game mode, which unlocks at Level 15. Any players level 14 and below prior to the release of Build 40000 were not affected by this.
In addition, the global Leaderboard times have been RESET. This was done primarily to ensure the database revisions made in Build 40000 work as intended and to optimize the performance of world record calculations and global leaderboard score displays. I do not anticipate resetting the Leaderboard times after Build 40000 (unless, of course, a particular level is reconstructed or revised, in which case the scores for THAT LEVEL may be reset.)
Other exciting additions include:
- World Record Notifications!
- An all new Play UI!
- More Screen Resolution Settings!
- Code Optimizations!
- and much, much more!
As always, I strongly invite testers to please post feedback and bug reports in the Marble Blast Fubar Feedback Forum.
I hope you all enjoy the new Build! Next up is Conquest Level modifications, due shortly after March 1st, so stay tuned for more fixes, improvements, and additions!
Cheers,
