Hey folks,
It's that time of year where the cold weather starts descending upon us and the mist rolls into the town in the dark of night. The leaves change colors, the days get shorter, and the frightening silence of midnight becomes empowered with an eerie aura. Even in the world of Marble Blast, things aren't always what they seem to be...
Starting today, October 13th, 2014 through November 1st, 2014, you will want to keep your eyes open for Aayrl. Posing as the Great Pumpkin, vast riches and glorious trophies may be earned throughout the Halloween season if you play some brand new custom levels on the Spookbox Derby multiplayer server. Join the Great Pumpkin as we parade through spectacular parties, roll through mysterious forests, and bounce around dusty cemeteries!
Don't let the dead of night scare you away, as we'll be hosting a couple of Marble Trivia events throughout the month of October. Keep your eyes on the Website Shoutbox for three-hour warnings of upcoming trivia events for your chance to win additional achievements and some other delicious goodies.
Still not satisfied? Join us on October 23rd at 7:00 PM EST (00:00 UT) for an all out brawl against some of the bravest the University of Vermont has to offer! We'll be playing various Marble Blast Multiplayer maps with an open UVM versus Marble Blast teams-based tournament. Think you have what it takes to topple UVM?
We hope everyone will have a chance to partake in these events. Don't be shy, the crypts are delightful!

...I really hate the fact I keep having to write 'released' so many times in the title, because it feels so redundant.
Moving on! RC2 is released and is mainly a fixes build, with more than 75 fixes out of the 100+ changes that were done. RC2 includes all patches since RC1 so you aren't missing out on anything.
Main highlights include various engine fixes and additions. Windows users no longer need Administrator access, and MBP.exe was removed (using normal marbleblast.exe now).
It is important for everyone to download the new launcher as it was updated as well and can now delete files, which is NEEDED if you want RC2 to launch without screaming at you when you try and go online.
RC2 is supported on Windows XP to Windows 8.1, Mac OS X 10.7 and above. No Linux support due to its MBG engine doing stuff that our extender does not like.
Windows Vista and above users please note: RC2 will be installed in C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Marble Blast Platinum
All preferences and config files will be copied by the launcher to their respective directories in AppData if you want it to (it asks you first :D).
RC1'S install directory, C:\Program Files (x86)\Marble Blast Platinum , will no longer be used and you can delete it.
It is recommended to copy and custom interiors missions over to AppData as the launcher will not do so.
Happy Marble Blasting
