Where have I been?

Sorry about last week -- I've been totally absent from the blog... but, I have been working and have a bunch of updates for you.

First off, I have to send a big shout out to Jason S. (known as CHECKTHEMIC on Candystand). Jason has been a HUGE help to the Candystand team in perfecting the new Billiards game in finding lots of little bugs. Thanks to Jason, performance on Billiards is way, way better now than when we had launched it. I'm sure all of you join me in thanking Jason for his contributions!

This blog has now been around for about a year -- it's been awesome to get to know so many of our loyal users. As always, shoot me a note if you find bugs, have questions or whatever. I'm pretty good about getting back to you the same day.

RC RALLY RELOADED: This game is coming along. Frankly, I thought we'd have it out by now but we have found a few troublesome bugs that we are still working out. I feel reasonably confident it will be out later this week, but won't know for sure until tomorrow/Wednesday. News will be posted here, first!

TOURNAMENTS: One of our biggest projects is nearly complete. Later this week, our testers will be competing in a test tournament --- then, let the games begin! I'll dedicate an entire post to explaining how Candystand Tournaments will work. For now, think of it as massive single-elimination tournaments in many of our games -- the winner will get a special trophy for his/her trophy room. I can't wait to see some of you go head-to-head in Billiards and Mini Golf... it's going to rock!

CANDYSTAND BASEBALL: We're pretty focused on getting this out before the Playoffs start. Not only will we have a new, 9-on-9 game but we'll be giving you and chance to enter to help us design our next baseball game (fly to New York and hang with the Candystand team!)... more info on that soon, too.

MORE NEW (OLD) GAMES RETURN: In the next couple of weeks, you'll see the return of some old favorites to the Candystand. We'll publish a release schedule as soon as they're ready.

That's it for now. More news soon.
