Hey, just wanted to give an advance warning. I'm going to clear out the leaderboards as we get ready to complete the game. This will also mean your game will not be able to report scores, and you will not see other players in worldofgoocorp.

:( at least this means the game is coming out soon...

well, I never payed much attention to the leaderboards anyway, preferring to have fun and do crazy stuff.

Although I was quite proud of being second place in the world for quite some time. I seem to have lost the knack for it now though. Prefer to make awesome towers with spikes and crenellations and stuff.

Carry on.

I'd like the new leader boards to look better if that can be done.  :)

I'll probably be remaking it. Any example leaderboards for games that have worked well in the past?

I'd love to have a leaderboard featuring 'badges' - i.e. web icons/avatars which display your progress and records in WoG actively online...

...a far cry maybe, but if it does happen, try not to make it look anything like the BF2142 leaderboards, those things are just plain depressing...

Yeah, make it like the blog... awesome!!!  :P

hahahahahahahaha! no.

i would actually like to have the leaderboards featured in-game, if you could, so we dont have to go to another website.
