The Blockheads, like most other games, gets occasional updates, adding new features and fixing bugs and glitches.

The update process for major updates starts with the developer of The Blockheads, David Frampton creating an update, followed by testing by the Majic Jungle beta team on iOS. After thorough testing, the release candidate build is sent to Noodlecake and Apple. Noodlecake then ports the update to Android, and does their own testing. Once both builds are approved by Apple, Google, and Amazon, the update goes live for all devices.

Minor updates do not have to be released simultaneously, such as version 1.5.2, where the Android version was released 30 days after the Apple release.

The longest wait between updates was between 1.6 and 1.6.1 on iOS, with a wait of 377 days. The shortest wait between updates was between 1.4.0.1 and 1.4.0.2 on Android, at a length of one day. It has been 135 days since the last update was released for iOS. It has been 99 days since the last update was released for Android.

BLOCKMARKET

It's just got easier to keep a close eye on global trade portal prices!

When the trade portal was added to The Blockheads, I also created a basic website just for me, so I could monitor prices. But I thought it might be interesting and useful to tidy that website up and release it for everyone, so here it is!
http://blockmarket.theblockheads.net
It lists all of the latest prices, and gives access to graphs for prices over the past 24 hours just like what you can see in the game at a trade portal.

Okay, as you all know, the trade portal came out in version 1.5 a month ago. However, the economy is incredibly unstable right now. This has led to players gaining/losing large amounts of money. This thread is a debate thread as to if the blockheads staff should intervene and stabilize the economy. And no, for those of you thinking I did this because I am poor due to bad investing, it is not. I have actually gotten uber-rich from the trade portal. And by that, I mean a chest of golden coins. Anyway, feel free to debate about if the staff should 'fix' the economy. Enjoy. Oh, and please don't be rude to each other whilst debating. Thanks. To me the ups and downs are the big fun in using trade portals. Monitoring the prices, finding the "deal of the day" and trying to avoid poor decisions. I don't want stbility, I want opportunities 

And btw: I somehow can't avoid the feeling that "the staff" is already intervening now and then.
