I think it is a good idea. It serves the community the information they need to know in-between dev blogs and Twitter Updates, and people don't lose hope about Identity when they see the tracker updated. It's also cool in the way that it puts the community more into the development process, where they can see what's happening, instead of getting updates once a month and the inner workings of Asylum Entertainment Inc. being hidden, almost. (Before the tracker)

I think it was a good idea and certainly better than providing another deadline/date which the Devs couldn't adhere to but I think some people need to manage their expectations a bit better. Keep an eye on it myself and honestly check most evenings but there's no need to post and stress when it hasn't been updated on the occassional evening (or over the weekend for that matter ??) some tasks will take more than a day to resolve and it will appear that little has changed according to the tracker but the Devs are making progress everyday behind the scenes. I guarentee the tracker only scratches the surface of whats going on in terms of development...regardless looking forward to the release when its ready just hope the Devs realise nothings perfect and not to obsess over the smaller issues

i wasn't a fan of the tracker. in my eyes all the tracker was is something for the to lean on. they gave 2 dates and failed on those, so if they gave a 3rd and failed again it would be a shit show. however put a tracker and you don't have to promise anything, everything is there to somewhat see and people can make their own assumptions with nothing official. bad enough they didn't plan on the delay taking long and we are almost a month in.

It's a good idea! Gives us people who are waiting for release some stuff to follow and we get a clear view of what is still left to do for a next milestone

I lurk a lot on the forums and in general, but the Tracker has definitely helped a lot of us I think. Instead of waiting for a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly progress announcement, we can see the progress daily and our anticipation will still be there.

It's a great idea, but they should still make some changes. They didn't tell us anything about what the 'progress' they're making on the tracker, apart from vague categories like technical art and stuff which only leads to more questions. Like I said it's great but it should be coupled with brief descriptions of progress and definitely not replacements for them lol

OK this is good to know. I also agree there should be a bit more explanation.

But ultimately do we need to know all the details? How does that benefit the game, community or the Devs? Just opens the door for more nay-saying, critisim and distraction when the Devs could just be getting on with it...

I think we just want to be informed. Because of the rest of the delays we just want to be a little more informed.

Yeah that's fair enough and understandable. I think I've just a different attitude, I'd rather the game releases and that the Dev's focus on development rather than keeping us informed about a process thats always subject to change and somewhat distracts from that Development and could potentially derail or delay development at points.

Just think of all the games which you've had no input into or where theres been no transparency but still released and well loved...

Just my 2c
