The problem

Planning is where games go off track.

📊
Status is a guess

"Feels about 70% done." Nobody actually knows what's ready, and status reports drift further from reality every week.

📋
Task lists rot

Spreadsheets and docs go stale the moment they're written. Nobody trusts the plan, so nobody updates it.

👥
No single source of truth

Designers, artists, and programmers each track their own version. The real plan only exists in someone's head.

🔁
Deadlines slip silently

Without live progress data, delays surface at the milestone review — when it's already too late to react.

IMSC is the fix: a plan wired to your real game data. Progress is computed from the actual state of every character, location, and mechanic — the board simply can't lie.

Automatic progress tracking

Progress you can see and trust.

No more asking for status updates. The system tracks the readiness of every game element — characters, locations, mechanics — and shows progress as clear visual indicators. If the work isn't marked done, the number says so.

  • Readiness tracked for characters, locations, mechanics, and more.
  • Clear visual indicators — no status meetings needed.
  • The board always reflects the real state of your game data.

Smart checklists

Task templates that count themselves.

Create task templates for standard elements — a character, a building, a level. Every new instance starts with the same checklist, and its completion percentage is calculated automatically as the team checks items off.

  • Reusable templates for standard elements like characters and buildings.
  • Completion percentage computed automatically from finished items.
  • A consistent definition of "done" across the whole project.

Detailed progress panel

One click from progress to the next task.

Click any progress indicator to open the full element checklist. Edit tasks, add new ones, and assign people without leaving the flow — the plan updates itself as you go.

  • Full checklist for any element, opened with one click.
  • Quick task editing and new items added in place.
  • Assign people and surface blockers as you work.

Milestones & deadlines

Milestones that keep the team heading the same way.

Break development into checkpoints — alpha, beta, release. Visual stage representation shows exactly where the project stands against the plan, so the whole team stays aligned on what matters next.

  • Checkpoints like alpha, beta, and release, with clear dates.
  • Visual stage representation of the whole project at a glance.
  • Deadlines and overdue work surfaced before they hurt.

Flexible filtering

Find your work in one click.

Filters give instant access to the tasks that matter: assigned to me, created by me, archived, or currently active. When the project grows, you still find exactly what you need — fast.

  • "Assigned to me" and "created by me" views in one click.
  • Archive and active-task filters keep the board uncluttered.
  • Fast navigation no matter how large the project gets.

Built into the Cloud workspace

Project planning is a cloud-only feature.

Planning lives in the shared IMS Creators Cloud workspace, so the whole team always sees the same live picture — kanban boards, milestones, tasks, and progress, in any browser. It's not tied to files on a disk that can go out of sync. The plan is the source of truth, updated in real time as work happens.

Trying the cloud is free for 30 days — no credit card. Project planning is a Cloud feature and is not available in the Desktop app.
