One of the many articles is up at marketwire.com. Here is my blurb:

Eric Hartzog, StickWars: “StickWars will include a new gameplay mode that will allow a player to battle for a limited period of time and challenge his friends for top scores. His friends will be notified of the challenge through push notifications, powered by OpenFeint, and they will be able to easily load StickWars and respond to the challenge. These challenges will flow back and forth in near real-time, and be easily visible to players even if StickWars is not currently loaded.

A single-player game inevitably has a limited amount of engagement — developers can only add so much content to a game. But by drawing from existing social networks and encouraging social competition between gamers, the players themselves create new tasks for one another and new obstacles to overcome. This user-generated content expands the value of any game far beyond what was initially put into it, and continues to expand as the popularity of the game increases even further.”

You can read more details about exactly what this means for StickWars in this forum post. There are a lot of new features and brand new game modes coming to StickWars. These new features will require a small purchase in game, but give access to many social features that allow you to compete against your friends in many different challenges.

Expect these features ready at the start of July, and for them to be live anywhere between 1-4 weeks after that when Apple approves it.
