We are excited to announce the upcoming release of Gamerscore Tracker, an xbox live indie application that tracks statistics of a gamer's gamerscore and ranks them against both their friends and gamers globally. Players can filter through things such as largest gamerscore gain in the past week/month/year. Global leaderboards will show the highest achieved gamerscore for the audience of the application. Development is ongoing to allow gamers to issue challanges to friends or others to a certain gamerscore.

Multiplayer Connection Issues

It has come to our attention that Undead Empire is experiencing problems when networking between 4 Xbox consoles at once in online multiplayer. We take this issue very seriously and are working hard to ensure that players be able to experience the game with 4 player online multiplayer. A patch will be submitted for review early next week where all known issues will be fixed. The multiplayer interface will be revamped to allow players to pick a game based on the different hosts and their connectivity.

Score Board Super Scores??

It has recently been brought to my attention that there are a couple ridiculously high scores on the scoreboards for Undead Empire. These are not real scores, it is actually impossible to achieve these scores considering how the scoring system works(except for career kills). The good news is they are easily distinguishable from the rest of the pack and will not compromise the outcome of the competition. These scores are not by cheaters of any form, but from what I believe to be a data transfer issue.

Time for a contest!
