After many weeks of development, I am proud to finally release the Vanguard Spheres
Dev Tracker for public use. Right now we only have 11 devs activated until we are certain that there are no remaining bugs haunting the system. After we've run a few days with those 11 developers, we'll activate the rest of the developers and we'll be fully functional. Please take a look at our Dev Tracker and let us know how you like it in the
feedback thread on our forums. We'd love to hear your suggestions on how we can make it better.
Some points to note. The Dev Tracker by design only tracks posts to the following forums on the offical Vanguard forums.
Official Announcements
Beta Announcements
Art & Graphics
Game Play
Adventuring Discussion
Crafting Discussion
Diplomacy Discussion
Programming
Production
Archives
We are not tracking the Off Topic forum for a reason. I feel the dev trackers purpose is to gather up information posted by devs about Vanguard not other topics. The one exception to this rule is for Abigale as a number of her posts about Fanguards are in the Off Topic forum.
We've taken great pains to build the tracker with the shutdown of the OVFs in mind. It is very flexible in nature and should be able to adapt quickly and easily to tracking the devs on any site they post to. Its data is also highly extensible so in the future you may see our Dev Tracker feeding other sites trackers! Another point to note is the tracker is very tightly interwoven with the forum software we use here at Vanguard Spheres. That means you can use the forum search feature just like you would for normal posts when you need to find a quote from a developer. Enjoy the tool and thanks for stopping by Vanguard Spheres!
