By this weekend we are expecting to have a rough draft completed and we will begin testing the more advanced features from there. Our ETA on the release is within the next month, so be prepared to hear more about it in this thread as things progress. I will edit this post and add information as we implement it, including documentation and implementation guidelines.

You can have public and "hidden" stats, sort by high/low (i.e. times for racing games would sort low, as lower is better), have different increments (replace as per high/low or an add, such as "total zombies killed" would just keep rising, each post from the game would add the two values together). It's really quite well done, the only problem right now is that viewing the scores (as it's a tab in the game-side chat) is load heavy on their servers and is currently disabled (the scores are still tracked, you just can't view them). Would love to see what you guys do. :)
