    Alright, i'll start by saying this. Money isn't my issue. I spent 30 dollars on this game, and it only comes to mind once every couple of weeks. Im not motivated by desire, or a refund, or even anger. So devs/moderators, take this into consideration. All of it. The Dev Tracker is honestly ridiculous and you guys know it is. Whoever you had in charge of updating it wasn't doing that, and it sat on 1-2 things left for upwards of 2 months. That is... words cant describe what that is. The game itself has been in development for YEARS, which is something you have all heard before, and your generic "Developin gayms taeks a lot of tyme" isn't even reputable anymore. It's been too long, and you guys are VERY OBVIOUSLY focusing your efforts on things that are so stupid, SUCH AS: Streaming the development. Streaming takes A LOT of effort, and communication with fans in the chat, and so far your streams have been an accurate depiction on the work ethic. "Hey guys, welcome to this stream where we take about 2 of our (previously stated) 20 developers, and take about 4 to 5 hours making a fucking lampshade! Join us again next year when we start work on the table legs!" Its absurd, streaming it is stupid and time consuming. A whole new fucking website design? Seriously? We're all SCREAMING for an update on progress and the best you can do is make the fucking website look pretty? What was even the purpose in that, just stop fiddling your dick and FINISH THE MODULE. Fucking. Micro-transactions. This is the main reason im making this post. You have over 1 million USD just from backers. Thats the average middle class mans LIFETIME EARNINGS. Yet, you spend more time making pointless things like fucking more apartments? Only this time it costs 100. Fucking. Dollars. I snooped in the store some more, and saw that you're LITERALLY SELLING THE CONCEPT OF A CUSTOM LICENSE PLATE FOR 15 FUCKING DOLLARS. Thats fucking ABSURD. Considering so far we get updates tri-monthly that contain messages like "We still workin on it" and "Hold yer horses, its only been 3 years" you would think they could give us something other than another way to waste our money on hope. Which, ties into my final point. See, i've realized a steady pattern with this development team, and I have a theory. You see, Asylum was a very small team, with a genuine hope to recreate that ARMA RP that we all know and love, but they needed funding. They started simple, you know, advertising an amazing game with a trailer and saying "Please, all we need is funding and we can make this happen" and they said it with TRUTH. Then, the wave. People donating willy nilly, praising this god tier game trailer, expecting an orgasm worthy experience. They have amassed a grand total 1,296,948 United States Dollars. Now I dont know how much it costs to pay for resources like textures, licenses, and a monthly subscription of whatever software they use to develop the game, BUT, I can tell you that there is NO reason it should cost 1.296 million dollars to make ONE MODULE that by the way, has no currency system, is completely experimental, and has a grand total of TWO CARS. TWO. I cant even imagine what the physics system is like. So anyway, Asylum were SHOCKED at this, and noticed that, they were making fucking bank on this. The hype train, the Pledges, the donations, hell, the twitch revenue (cant confirm, just a thought) and them being a very small, inexperienced development team, took the EA route real fucking fast. Overhyping games, putting out JUST enough information to keep the fans from rioting, and collecting those sweet sweet pre-order deals, then the second the game drops, there are paywalls EVERYWHERE. The player had no idea, and now they wasted hundreds on a game that they can barely play. Asylum, you've practically fucked your entire future as a company, and destroyed every last bit of fanbase you had. You needed to release more updates, you needed to put more effort into the game, you needed to stop being fucking greedy, and either release the game, or refund the backers. Judging by the micro transactions, this game is going to be HELL. And I will be refunding as soon as possible.

    OMFG Seriously , excuse after excuse how many more months or years do we have to wait . Why wasn't it added to steam last year as early access and fix stuff along the way like all the other developers. After all that's what Early Access is for "Games in process of being developed ". who cares about downloading a patch or 10 patch's ITS EARLY ACCESS PEOPLE . And that tracker its a crock of BS , Still sitting on 1 job remaining for weeks now . If you ask me they put that tracker there to try calm people down but it is having the opposite effect.

    Honestly, Im at a point where Im sitting on the fence with the whole thing now. One part of me thinks they will achieve what they set out to do and we should give them the time to deliver, but the other part of me thinks they have been too ambitious with their goals and the funding will dry up before they even get to release anything worth looking at. Im the same with when I come on these forums. One part of me sometimes defends what the devs are doing but at other times I think well the ones who are not happy have a right to be so even though they do sometimes come across as me me me (not the OP just in general), they do have some good points to make and rightly so. When I first came to these forums, I came because people were discussing the game and in general people were very positive. Now I just come here to read more negative posts from disgruntled backers because theres not much else to read.

    I honestly don't see a lot of people in this community like this. The consumers in this community feud more so whether the devs are credible or not. It's either people who say "this game will NEVER come out" and are impatient, most likely bought this game within the last month or two, or people who never criticize the devs and would find a way to make an excuse if the devs decided they were to scrap the entire game to start a new. But yea, I agree with you. There's not enough people in between, it's always the extreme here. The devs might have a better chance of seeing the issues and making improvements if one side isn't praising them forever and the other side is trying to defame them and nonstop complain. PS - People need to stop advertising their refunds. Tell the devs that you want your money back, not us. We can't do it and we most likely don't know you enough to trust you.

    Never in the history of calming down, has anyone ever calmed down by being told to calm down.

    Not saying your post is wrong but they actually have a 1.3 million dollar budget.

    I realize its been months and months since I have given you my money, I realize you have a small crew, I realize you have haters and lovers waiting patiently, but just wanted to let you know I to am waiting.. still.. I believe this game would be fun and enjoyable, unlike most games out there, but this year long waits is starting to make me loose interest, I don't care about the money I have donated, (I say donated because I don't care to loose it to a scam, if this is a scam, its just money.) For those critics about to attack me for this post, go fly a kite, for this is my message to the team. I hope this game is worth the long delays, and look forward to playing and testing it some day. -MadApples

    just because they are expected doesn't mean they are useful, topics used to be posted because people were confused and had a question, this topic is just someone who needs a bit of attention and shares his message to the devs... how can you call that a topic,

    I can agree with you to a point but at the same time with the devs not really updating us on whats going on, and the tracker being stuck on this last task for 2 months now it is getting a bit annoying and posts like this are to be expected.

    I believe the dev blog is supposed to come out today. Motown said if John dosent get it out by Monday that he would “whip him”.

    technically if it releases at any point after this post it matters as this could of been a reminder or tipping point to release it in the future, you don't know that. now if there's no dev blog for the remainder of this project, well i guess the post didn't matter. but we wont ever know that as its all random future events we have no control over or any idea what will happen. so the post in itself matters, the timing, well as long as its before the dev blog, it doesn't really matter if i did it today or last Friday, as they probably wouldn't see it until the Monday anyways. not sure what your grasping at straws on this for as it doesn't have anything to do with the actual topic of where is the dev blog.

    if this is bitching and moaning to you, boy i hope you dont go outside. they said there would be a dev blog a month to keep all the backers in the loop, all im doing is asking in a public format why that has not been upheld this month . you do you but i would like some answers, if thats triggers you feel free to move on than.

    I honestly thought there were more rational people like you on the forums based on what I've seen in other posts, but the dedication to the developers is insane. They fucked up, and yeah my post was angry but literally all it would take is to say "Yeah, we know. We done fucked up" and im actually positive most of the people complaining would be satisfied. Its the lack of actual information we're getting. Like, its almost as if the game only exists on this website.

    This about sums up my opinion of the forums. People are complete fanboys. I appreciate the developers, but also understand that they have fucked up. Just because you are admitting the devs have handled this whole project wrong doesn't mean you hate them. These people absolutely refuse to admit any fault on the devs side. It's something I have noticed a certain forum moderator do frequently too, instead of accepting responsibility for their mistakes they blame it on the consumers (us). It isn't the devs fault for missing two deadlines, its our fault for not being patient. It's not the devs fault for taking ages, its our fault for not understanding how developing games works. It's not the devs fault for putting all these micro transactions and overpriced addons, it's our fault for not understanding how expensive development is. It's always our fault, I rarely if ever see an apology, always excuses. I'm not attacking the devs, as I have stated, I am on their side, just stating an observation.

    1. The very first part is the worst idea and is what the big game companies set as the standard for games. Second not pre-alpha but alpha build. No one has stated that it will be perfect on the release of the module, however the biggest feature is the feature they are working on and is a must for them to complete before they release the module. There are no more constant delays, there were only 2 delays and so how is it constantly getting delayed? If there was a date then it could be delayed but there is a task tracker instead and so no delay is possible. 2. 3D artist are not Coders/ programmers. Why should the 3D artists sit idle while we all wait for the programmers to complete the task. Them doing nothing is th worst idea ever IMO because if they create more assets while we wait, in the long run there will be less assets needed to make for the game. Yes, but that means a slower development speed and slower means that the community will still get mad. People find reasons to just complain really which is sad. They have said in the past about there mistakes. Also, they do get a response but because there is a reasonable answer in the response, they decide to complain more anyways. I will pass this post onwards

    2015 - 2018 = what 4 years? Strange because 15 + 3 = 18. Look, you need to read your post before posting it, because well you either are bad at maths or miss typing. It will be 4 years at the end of January 2019. Actually they are putting all the effort in but the task is being worked on and they are making progress but they have came across multiple bugs which had to be fixed before they could continue the task. They are also entitled to a day off, Saturday and Sunday are not a working day for them. They do overtime also but there is only so much a programmer can do in a day. We may not see the tracker visually changed but that doesn't mean the devs are idle.

    I'm not trying to be rude or pushy but I have noticed that the Task Tracker has been saying it was last updated 2 days ago for over a week.

    It doesn't matter how long it takes to create a game. It just matters that the developers follow through with their promises at least by the 3rd or 4th release date they announce.

    You're being catfished, there's no pot of gold at the end of this tunnel. Get that through your skull man, when Identity is released, they will still blame the enormous amount of bugs on "lack of time", "funding issues", and "they will be fixed soon". You're trying to send out good karma by saying you have trust in the developers, but in the back of your mind, you know damn well that this game is far from being released.

    I think that wouldn't very nice, if it's going to be like this, a life in Idnetitiy is worthless, don't you think so? Are you going to be directly revived or is there somethink like a percentage of being revived? Will you have broken bones or other thinks which need to heal over time? I think that would be alot nicer! I hope you guys are understanding what I'm writing here, it's pretty had for me to write in an other language!
