So basically I will be clearing most of my posts from this reddit from my clutter, as I have decided to make this easy mega thread for all information on the timeline of events and information we have on TUG and the unannounced game "my Best Buds" This should be the thread to discuss any new information, or discussion of best buds in general.
This is a list of timeline events since the beginnings of NK and TUG, Credit goes to Rawr and Elf. I have since updated this timeline to reflect the last 2 years, as Rawr and Elf from my knowledge have been MIA since the beginning of this year.
Notes before reading: some of these links could end up being dead or missing due to high censorship by NK, if they do disappear please let me know ASAP. Some google Docs like rawr on the NK forum aren't dead, but will be deleted by google, so I have been trying to persevere as much as I can and will link them back as soon as I can. Lastly make a comment, use the wayback machine to archive, and save pages as this is time sensitive
Please ask questions, and not bash anyone, and most importantly do not link resumes of ex or current devs, I have done this before, and I apologize to any dev I have done this to, this isn't about you guys, its about NK and its games, and I Promise anything that isn't related to NK or games will not be here period.

A community post about Nerd Kingdom
by @Rawr & @Elf
This article has been built up from numerous sources over the last year. Its intended purpose is to bring the community up-to-date with the important issues, developments and other highlights. It has been in no way funded nor encouraged by NK. This is a community project.
If this is your first bit of reading about “where things are at with TUG?” then I recommend reading all the way through. In case you’d like to dive into the full details of something, there will be links throughout.
Further info/links & updates:
Hey there! Perhaps we didn’t get far enough into a topic for your liking. You can get into the discussion/writing too. Start here.
