It's been a busy, eventful and productive month for the Identity team at Asylum! Only a few weeks ago we released our first video showing real in-game content, the player housing system, and Identity has gotten a good bit of much-needed exposure! If you haven't seen the video, visit Identity's YouTube channel. Our programmers, especially Henrik Sonesson, have upgraded our inventory mechanics and created two new important gameplay systems these last weeks. The library which you'll have access to in the Town Square module is now in place and functional. Players can both read public domain classic books in-game, or even write their own and submit them to the library for other players to read. In addition, the NPC shop systems are now in place. When you enter most shops you'll be able to find the items you need on racks or displays around the store. Grab what it is you're looking for and then make your way to the cash register to make the purchase. In some places you can preview the items you're holding even before buying; for example, in a clothing store you can go into a change room. This system even allows for shoplifting some items, although player-crafted or very expensive items cannot be shoplifted on official servers. On the art front, we've brought on new artists and are continuing to build the world you'll be exploring. We've also been focusing on the interiors of buildings and characters. We've gotten our first facial hair assets and are approaching a complete character customization system. An overhaul of character skin and hair has Identity's characters looking incredibly life-like in comparison to other MMORPGs. Next on that list for a re-work is the eyes.

Title says it all. Hopefully the devs can add these and hopefully we can own multiple units, lock them and put CCTV inside them.

Hello and Welcome to the identity community! Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! @Alpha Your answer is not what the devs say, just say this answer as its the answer the devs actually give; @Bud1lite the quote here is the answer you need atm the for the specs as this would be more reasonable than the one before as it's the official anser given by the devs when they get asked on twitter. Please feel free to use the resources on this forum/ website to gather information on the game. If you have not found something within the resources, please don't hesitate to ask as everyone here is happy to help! Cheerio!

Not sur what specs exactly, but a good bit less then arma. So any decent computer should be able to run it

Winston University Handbook So what are you waiting for? Sign up to one of our courses today and show the world your true identity! (This post is a WIP)

Hey man welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Just found this game on youtube,now im really interested.If the crazies that want to just destroy evrything and everyone can be controlled,looks to be the best game ever.

I would just like to wish the developers and community a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for when it is here! Also I for one cannot wait till the new year as it will be only a few months from the 1st Module! I have been waiting so long with most of you, like those who are making it real and well I hope you enjoy the upcoming weeks! So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! James!

And best of luck to you. I meant no disrespect by my past comments. If you go thru with this plan I wish nothing but luck and respect to you.

I know the history. What we now know as a Nazi Swastika goes all the way back to Ancient Egypt as a symbol for Ra. It's also used in Hinduism and Buddhism and the word Swastika is sanscript for well being and good fortune.

Hopefully warehouse space will be available to buy, If not you'll have to use a network of apartments for production. Transfer that production to a central location for inventory then distribute. A network of apartments I may be willing to help you develop.. *I should say the town square module will be the testing ground for network production through apartments. Warehouses may come later on but for major production as of right now, a network will need to be established.

Will you be mining iron? Your company should be called Aurum Mining & Drilling Corporation because you drill for oil and mine for ores. Will you also mine for rare earth minerals e.g. lithium

All I will add is that as many of you said. Imitating a real life gang in real life or in the virtual world is a rather shady area. For examples, motorcycle gangs find it really offensive if you wear their patch in real life as the patch is earned. Even if it's fictional, such as sons of anarchy, many people find it disrespectful if you wear the patch without first warning that patch. im not saying take it down as I have used the aryan brotherhood idea before but just be respectful of the people within that gang. Show no offence to them by driving their name into the ground.

Still a neat idea...

Rev Masters Garage OPEN TO COMMENTS, BUT THE GARAGE HAS BEEN PAUSED. Rev Masters Garage specializes in hot rods and street rods. We don't fully delve into newer modeled cars or ricers such as JDM or drifting cars. Rev Masters is a small local garage with helpful staff ready to work on your street rod and make it the baddest in the land! The Garage also servers as The Royals Car Club's main garage/clubhouse. Right next to the garage, you'll find a small corner store. Although it will not be your right-ade or Walgreen's, you'll be able to find your daily needs such as soda, candy, other foods, cigarettes, drinks and medical supplies. STOCK Rotors Engine Heads Cylinder heads Exhausts Camshafts Oil Pumps Chain and gear kits Wheels and rims Many more! Services Engine work Exhaust repair, inspection and installation Catalytic converter installation Belt installations battery installations Too many to name! Corner Store The Rev Masters Corner Store will be a local convenience store, conveniently placed next to the garage, you'll be able to grab a coca-cola, some chips, a pack of lucky strikes and a tin of hair grease! With low prices and a great stock, you'll be able to find your daily needs in no time. Positions A mechanic will simply be a member of The Royals Car Club. Members are not told to put in a specific work hours, but being a cooperating man to the garage is whats expected by other members, and not spending time at the garage or hanging out at the garage may be frowned apon. Other members who are not the absolute best at working on other members/peoples cars can work the cash register, work as an assistant to whomever is working on a car, wash cars, show customers around and hang out with the boys. Thank you for reading! Please comment if interested in the car club ~Hanshi~

I was thinking this lmao

^ Alpha makes a good point see, If you truly are concerned with your personal safety, your possessions safety and the over all safety of the integrity of the information you hold, then I would highly suggest hiring a personal security team like Alpha Military Company up there. It's a brilliant idea really. The police, unfortunately wont always be able to come to your aid, especially if an arms race kicks off.

By hiring us, Alpha Military Company

Nice!thanks for the info

Wouldn't want to offend the neo nazis.... is that what you just said?

Also adding to the craft tables: T shirt press, check me out. You're able to upload a drawing, painting, OR a .jpg file to the press and press the image to the T shirt. Brilliant, I'd love to see everyone running around with a T shirt that has the pic of the month on the front of it or w.e other shenanigans is created.

By no means am I telling you to change it or anything. I was simply just pointing out how some could be offended. Do what you do, and I wish you luck

Welcome Tony, Merry holliday

Welcome to the forums, Soulphite. A very merry holiday to you and yours.

That's off topic talking about Friday the 13th: The Game

Just go with a different name, it will be easier for recruitment

Trailer Parks would be needed since they are cheep, Maybe they can attract some intresting redneck charachters aswell #Trevor Well this might not be my dream house but we all will be poor in the beggining and some forever.

That's why I love my line of business. Illegal transporting goods and consulting criminals on how to do what they want.

You both clearly don't know anything about the game. I'd suggest you actually use the search bar since this has been answered more than enough times. Also, you're new around here so try not to be such a smarty about everything.

I don't think the Aryan Brotherhood have a single fuck to spare for an online counterpart on a computer game which hasn't been released yet.

Hello. We would like to offer you a position in Alpha Military Company. To join, pm me.

I'm wondering how the money will be implemented and regulated as well. I don't want to see this game have an economy where everyone is wealthy (as in, void of inflation) and can buy anything without needing to make careful financial decisions. Usually, games with NPCs giving out jobs have this problem of players becoming rich, most notably in smaller communities such as Altis Life (the poor ones are the newbies, the lazy, and financially broke from other reasons). Without some sort of inflation mechanic or some sort of tie with the player economy from NPCs, the economy will become unrealistic and unfortunately boring. I've been wondering a lot about how the economy will be simulated in Identity in general.

normal house far away from any city. good thing about it? if you get on my lawn i'll shoot you down with a shotgun!

There are too many comments on my original post and I don't want to look like im abusing the post counter so all future designs will be edited into this post.

Very much in agreement with these policies! Other parties want to hold fast to the idea that they can abolish taxes, place a gun in every hand, and allow everyone to ride off into the wild west with big sacks of money under their arms. It wont work that way. Especially early on Identity will need a well structured, and well funded EMS and police organization to keep everything from devolving into a state of chaos within the first days that we are permitted on the island.

I was just wondering if they'd be any rules set by you, or the users (if it is possible, I don't know if the servers are privatised or official or both?) would place limitations on RP. I want to play a closet cannibal and lock guys in my cellar for later consumption. I know it's fucked up, but in the end, games are to take out frustrations and eh why the fuck not you know I'll probably play music as well, bit of hunting, maybe some organised crime here and there, I just want to know if I can molest my victims before I'm done with them. Cheers!

You don't know to argument do you? Instead of telling me valid reasons not to feature robbing you start to threat me in-game. Robbing is certainly not everything I'll do in this game, I want to host radio channels, be a cop or start a business. it's just a feature that fits the universe of identity where everything is possible. Please don't assume that I want this game to be darkrp just because of this one feature which will be entirely different to the one in darkrp. Also don't tell people to fuck off just because they don't have the same opinion as you.

Home-invasions should not be an issue if one were to invest in insurance. Thus, one shall merely lose a small percentage of wealth considering that the company shall be capable of compensating for 80% worth of one's stolen property. In the process, a home-invader would eventually be provided with a massive sentence within prison for committing such an indictable offense.

As it stands already, we do have advertising systems for politicians running for office but it's restricted to billboards. I like the idea of advertising on public televisions or cinema, and implementation would be easy, but we'll have to think it over and consider all the angles. So, maybe!

Hello citizens! It's been too long since our last developer blog entry, so I wanted to take the time today to update all of our backers on Identity's current state of development, as well as give a little more insight into the process behind the scenes. During the first year and a bit of development, most of the time was spent developing key backend systems. Networking modifications, weapon physics, character customization, voice communication and so on. That's all behind us now, and I'm happy to say it's gone as well as we could have hoped. Now and for the past couple of months we've moved on to gameplay development, making those backend features do the fun stuff. This Month in Development In this last month our lead character artist, Miroslav, has finished up everything we need for your characters going into the Town Square release. We're always going to be adding more character customizations over time, but to start you'll have the choice between 4 male and 5 female race options. After selecting your base race you can customize further with skin tones, blemishes, scars, eye color, hair styles, hair colors and tweaks to facial features. Identity is expanding on the usual character customization, though, as some of the options available can only be gotten through achievements. Prison tattoos are an example; if you see someone with such a tattoo you know they've done something to earn it. A lot of work this month has also gone into the player housing systems. In following our previous messages, our home customization system has been in place for some months although we've been expanding the floorplans in preperation for the Town Square module release. Sean, or Motown as you may know him, has prepared the various apartments you will have in the Town Square. If you have made a smaller pledge to Identity and do not have an apartment yet, we're going to be giving you access to a temporary (small) home in the Town Square so that you can play with the cusomization features. If you've pledged for a package containing an apartment, Town Square will show what you'll have in the full Identity game upon release. Just this morning our lead programmer, Henrik (AKA Mathalion), finished up the karaoke systems. It's a minor feature for Identity as a whole, but it's going to be loads of fun in the Town Square module! Just off the lobby of the hotel is a slick little bar, complete with a karaoke stage. You'll be able to queue up your favorite songs on the karaoke machine and see the lyrics on one of the monitors around the stage. The microphone on the stage really works, too, amplifying your voice out of the speakers so that your singing can be heard by everyone there! Most of us are terrible singers, so karaoke is going to have a lot of hilarious moments. If you're just there to watch, the restaurant by the stage is fully functional, too! It's Been Too Long I'll just come right out and say it: we at Asylum Entertainment have really had poor PR these last months, and you guys deserve better. You deserve much more frequent updates, and we're committing to give you that moving forward. We're a relatively small development team today. Currently a core staff of 5 incredibly talented full-time developers, I'm amazed every day with what this team can accomplish. Outside of our core we have a handful of part-time workers, mostly artists, who are also very skilled. Because we're a small team, many of us have to wear several hats. For example, Sean is our community manager but also a 3D artist. I myself am the project manager, a programmer and interface developer. This leads to few resources to dedicate towards PR as there's so much work to be done on the game itself. This is something we knew though, and we're going to set some time aside regularly to keep you in the loop. The Town Square module is coming soon. We're in the final months of 2016 now, and you'll finally be inside the first piece of the Identity world in the first quarter of 2017. It's a little later than we originally hoped since we're dedicated to making sure everything is smooth and stable from the first moments. Identity is an enormous undertaking, but the most difficult bits are behind us and we're drawing near! What to Expect The first stage of game development is always very boring to talk about, and also doesn't give us much to show you. Creating those backend systems that drive the game behind the scenes is one of the most important phases, but it's not very glamorous. It's for this reason that most games aren't announced until they're a couple years into development. Now that we're past that point, we're going to be able to start showing you real Identity gameplay. The first gameplay video you'll see is going to be in November and will show you just how detailed and in-depth Identity is becomming! You'll see a walkthrough of our housing system, showing just how far it can be customized and some of the cool fun features you'll find in there. Following that video we'll give you a glimpse of the Town Square features, leading up to its release. It's been a ton of work and a long time coming, but we're moving forward at a great pace and everything is about to get very exciting over here.

Actually They said you will get the character for the modules and beta but You will have to re-create it for the full game as because there will be a lot more customising features at full game release. (So you don't miss out on everything new, you will have to re-make it.)

Welcome Olly! I think you made the right choice picking criminal. There is a lot for cops to do in Identity, but the responsibility involved isn't my cup of tea either. I myself intend to roleplay as a hobo serial killer. Just don't come down my alley!

Thanks for all of the positive feedback, another logo being designed right as I speak. Follow this account for updates and reply if you have another idea that I might implement into the company. ??

Well, looks like I found someone to buy some property from, love the idea.

Saw Cobra and thought you were another PMC. Thankfully not! Look forward to seeing you in game.

Well presented and will bring in a lot of immersion and RP. Good luck

I feel as if jail time should be longer than 45mins just because it has to be long enough to stop encouragement of everyone going into crime. Far too many people will want the quick buck and if the jail time is not long enough people will not worry about it as much and are much more likely to commit crime. However if they commit a crime and are in jail for a couple of hours they will be less tempted to try and make quick money. You dont want everyone to go into crime because then it will be just like ArmA 3 Life

The maximum time is 45 minutes, for now! We'd maybe consider increasing it to a couple hours at most, depending on feedback and depending on how fun the prison gameplay is! If you switch between official servers, you will still be in prison, but on private servers that have their own databases, you get a clean slate, unless you were in prison last time you were on that particular private server. We may even count offline time as time served towards sentences.
