Additionally, we’re planning another big update to the iPhone and iPod touch versions of Sheepstacker. We’ve done lots of performance improvements for an even smoother experience, and we’re also adding the feature that’s been most requested: Global online leaderboards!

We’ve implemented the AGON Online social platform for iPhone games, which was created by the guys at Aptocore, and this framework provides global and location-aware leaderboards, online awards tracking, posting accomplishments to your Facebook (and soon, Twitter) accounts, friends lists, and more! Look for that update in the coming weeks.

Finally, we’re going to be hanging out at the E3 Expo this week. We’re sure to be constantly updating our Twitter statuses (@jerrodputman and @shannonkay) with highlights and pictures.

We’re also going to be demoing the next Tiny Tim Game as well (which is still very top secret)! If you’re a publisher or news outlet that would like to take an early look at our prototype, just send an e-mail to info@tinytimgames.com or send us a tweet (either on our personal accounts or our @tinytimgames account). For everyone else, we hope to have something to show in just a few more weeks.

If you didn’t receive an invite, we’ll be looking to squeeze in a few more people next week. So if you haven’t registered on our site already, now’s the time to do so!

I’d also like to draw attention to an app we developed for Sabec Ltd: Number Paint for the iPhone and iPod touch. It’s a fun little paint-by-numbers game, and it’s great for children and adults of all ages. There’s a lite version also available, so be sure to check it out.

And finally, if you’ve been following my personal Twitter account, you may have noticed me talking about an as-of-yet unannounced game. That project is officially the second Tiny Tim Game! I post about some of our other projects on there too, so if you want to be sure that I’m talking about our next game, just look for the #tinytimdev hash tag.

Unfortunately, that’s all we can give out about the game at the moment. We hope to be able to share a little more with you soon.

While we’re not quite ready to announce a firm release date yet, we are ready to announce our beta program! We’re going to let a few extreme Sheepstackers at our three desktop beta versions to help us squash bugs and find compatibility issues.

If you’d like to be considered for our beta test program, simply register on our site! That’s it! While we won’t be able to let everyone who registers into the program, we’re going to be adding as many people as we can handle. If we select you for the beta test program, we’ll send you an e-mail confirmation that includes instructions on how to access the beta software.

And on an unrelated note, this isn’t the only project we’ve been spending our time on…..
