Hello. Im just going to say I am someone who hasnt really ever squalored around in negative posts about this being a bad game, the devs being scams, etc. I had some real hopes coming from this game, now of which have been squashed and I had moved onto bigger/better things and forming roleplay community of my own in games that already provide a medium of "life" roleplay. But Through intermittent checking of the status of this game and watching gameplay, I can just say that this is definitely a letdown, in so many areas. In my time, I've seen admins/devs waver people aside, ban unrightfully or for outspoken opinion, and some very very shadiness of certain practices; like for instance, the whole "mansion design" debocle where the concept artist had done nothing but redone a backcropping of Al Gore's house; and then Mod team disclaiming that it isnt a 'exact replica' when nothing changed but the backdrop. Aaaaallllll the way to the game itself seeming like a very, very poorly done UE4 showcase where the actual 'gameplay' elements seem like they are frankensteined together by someone very inexperienced, or them being ripped from other assets. Any correlation to trailers presented have been in a player controller/view that obviously is not present in the game along with content that "isnt done yet" but somehow extremely easy to imagine that it wouldnt look the same as the trailers if we were shown the exact content without the smoke and mirrors. This is not some sort of witch hunt, but me putting my final piece on what has been YEARS of waiting, silently, hoping for the best. These are all things that are not harmful, targetting comments, but rather things that are observably true. Its no longer a time for "Well just dont support us anymore" or "The game is still being worked on" or "Nobody is forcing you to stay". Each and every one of those offsetting comments from blind diehards or Mod Teams actuallly just shows the inability to level with the community, to be truthful, to share ACTUAL progress. With a larger dev team, a massive budget that SO MANY people would KILL to have and do some serious progress towards their projects, this could have been something. After a certain point, a team must take responsibility for the discrepancies rather than shoulder it all aside when they know that their community knows that there is less and less going as planned and the deciding factor as to why this has lost so much steam over the years is because of the lack of transparency, and the lack of responsibility. Money isnt everything, but time is, and I imagine that there are so many people who have prepared for so much more, to be part of something bigger, whole communities formed around this; and essentially the best that can be said is "Well refund it" or "Game still in progress!". Not even the point of people saying "Patience" can any longer apply anymore. No longer can it really be waived aside that a massive monetary backing apparently isnt enough to do what was said could be done. But there has been so many layers of incompetence with this project that I cant help but come to the conclusion that it was too ambitious to succeed with whoever is at the helm, and the team behind it as well.

am i the only one that feels like a retard for believing in and supporting identity? if anyone is still thinking of getting this save yourself and dont..

Thank you to the guys who we know are a bit over zealous on the forums. Played perfectly into my hands the actions of others. Excellent work. BYE BYE asylum, you have failed MASSIVELY.

The guy has been BUSTED. How the mods can still stand up for Asylum is hilarious. Glad I popped in whilst in lockdown just to see if anyone had posted, and glad I did. Thanks to RAJA for the company information. If anyone is in the area of Johnny, then he may expect some unwelcome visitors to have a "chat" with him. This is over for me, the end.... i suggest anyone else reading this, gives up and deletes the game/website and remove on discord. ITS GOING NOWHERE

@dagtagwill you do that? or its not on the list of stuff you're allowed to reply to. Better yet just tell him to come on the forum and reply himself. and also why he promised more frequent updates on discord but lied about that as well.

I'm sure you would like to think that or you were told that but how many people put paint cans in their barn assets.... mmmm just one.

Such an honest guy doesn't need to explain to people who paid him millions lol 2 Different companies with entirely different people behind them but... all i see is johnny boy How ironic is it that they provide "royalties" to asylum but the payments went straight to johnny boy... If I was starting a company and i told asylum to help me reach an audience I certainly wouldn't let johnny boy run my Kickstarter nor would I let him register my company under his name.

if you are talking about the weapon insider, really compare those two things closely, both of them are modular barns, so it is normal that they share some similarities in color and shape, but that is really where the comparison of the two end. as far as I know, those assets are not the same.

Do me a favor tho and ask johnny boy why he still flexes his "office" when he said they don't operate out of there.

okay bud, just remember IN MY OPINION(so they don't ban me) the last thing they posted on twitter was actually an asset they bought and added additional lighting so I don't believe shit and you can stop trying to convince me. I'm just here to warn people of the future who are looking at this BS. https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/modular-barn-pack

those updates do not reflect the progress that has been made so far since the website hasn't really been updated in a long time, especially that link. the last update that got released on steam was January 25th(yes, in retrospect that is still a long time ago, but if you read the newsletter that is understandable).

still ongoing with no updates since 2018 https://www.identityrpg.com/devtracker Very honest of you lol

Well said person of the internwebs, well said.

Soooo....the latest Dev blog was Posted May 9, 2019. (Nearly 13 months ago) Has there been any movement? Any updates? Any Tasks fulfilled? Has anything progressed since......?

Oh believe me conversations have been had, people are wise to all the power trips....in here and the discord People cant face the music so they lash out at people like us

Be carefull that you dont insult anyone with saying that, or else you end up with a warning like me <-< Also

This thread is being watched yall...be careful...dont speak out why you think its got so many views but nothing else

yeh we got robbed yall... wait and see how long it takes these mods to defend the "devs" now I want my money back, but I doubt they will pay what they STOLE false advertising

Seems as if the community has givin' up or is tired of the same ol' crap

The game itself absolutely has to change, at least in current scope, for it to ever have a chance at succeeding in any way, form, or fashion. They squandered the money AND kicked down their own backers' trust.........and without funds OR at least an adequate skillset (which they've shown is not really up to snuff yet), something of the magnitude of what they promised is never, ever, ever, ever coming. So it's absolutely a good suggestion to allow Identity to morph into something more feasible for them to create. The only other possibility I see is to sell the IP to a functional team that has a greater chance of finishing it.

I honestly can't say i'm surprised. 4 years. 4. years. They have no excuse. I was banned from their discord for no reason. I don't know how to request a refund, but I want one.

Ive been here for almost 3 years waiting on this and im still gonna wait. Yes im disappointed, but theres no point crying about it. The devs will work it out thats their job.

It's not even been 24 hours since the ''release''. Lets stay positive.

I was a little disappointed about the release, but I still have hope for this game as well. : )

@DLimit No

I believe that these issues shall be resolved within the next week.

This is the final straw. Nobody in the community can still believe in this game right? Was also banned from their discord. What a joke. Game doesn't even start for me on my thousand dollar pc.

The games shite they dont care i cant even get on cause their blaming 3rd party issues always someone elses fault bla bla

What makes me sad is that this game has shown that no one on the team has a solid understanding of UE4 system. It's a shame. Almost nothing in the game was done well. It doesn't matter if it's a sandbox game where you have to make lots of content. At least do one thing correctly. Why should be keep waiting? 4 years of development and there's nothing impressive to do. I prefer to follow The Sims online project. Good luck with those refunds! The reason I didn't spend any money on this game is because I watched many of their live streams plus reading all the anouncements and realised that they never showed any gameplay content nor game mechanics. The aparment video gave some hope but nothing was shown after that.
