    The studio apartment is just temporary and we all have it just now. It will be changed later down the line once all of the major bugs and such have been worked upon and resolved. I don't have a specific date or time but just stay tuned and know that you will still get your two-bedroom apartment and two-car garage. For the car, however, you will have to wait until the Racing module comes out.

    Political Party Database

     

    After having looked at some other boards within the forums, I had noticed that we don't really have a place to find information on the most popular, upcoming political parties here on Identity, except for via The Podium board which would require you to scroll through numerous threads and pages to find the right party for you. I wanted to make this thread to try and group together the most common parties with some information as to who leads it, what the parties believe in and their policies.

     

    I also understand that as politics will be one of the final aspects induced into the final game, there hasn't been much need for a post like this, however, many are still interested in the political aspect and I'm always willing to add new parties in to the list via request. If you would like your party added, send me a private message on the forums, or, much more preferably via Discord (ItsDev#3140).

     

    I would also like to ask the leaders of the parties mentioned - or those who wish for their parties to be added - to contact me in regards to writing a brief description which best describes their party and the views in which their parties share.

    2 days and still no tracker update. It's fucking Wednesday. What the hell are you devs doing? Should be finished by now it's one task yes I know a fix can create other problems but fucking hell the only problem I see is the lack of communication and the lack of being able to complete one stupid task ahhhhhhhhhh don't make me angry you wouldn't like it if I'm angry ahhhhhhhhhh hdjchxycixygjcxhxhcffufucux no but seriously hurry up. Ps can't wait to play the first module

    Y'know, one way to vent is to do it without sounding very immature and crying with random characters which simply makes you seem extremely young and - again, I'll repeat myself - immature.

    You are right about feeling frustrated regarding the tracker not being updated yet, so believe me, I can understand where you're coming from there, especially with it being 4 days past now, however, there's only really one thing left which is the UI but it's in-testing. Hopefully that gets resolved soon.

    With that all being said though, although they may have made over $1M, they aren't a AAA development team and this isn't a AAA game so you should expect fallbacks and delays but for the size of their team, I think they're doing an incredible job and they definitely deserve a lot of praise for all of the hard work and the time and effort that they put in each and every day. Plus, I'd much rather it be postponed if it means the game will actually be stable and not crash when thousands of people are trying to connect all at once. Sure, it will still have bugs, of course, it's a BETA and it would be ignorant to expect otherwise, but if they can fix as much of it as possible, keep it stable and make sure everything runs smoothly as it should, then it's well worth the wait.

    Hello, fellow Scot!

    Good to see another Scottish person here! I'm the Leader of The Hamilton Party so I hope my political party can help to make a career in law enforcement more comfortable for you :D

    Honestly starting to have my doubts about this game now... The Town Square is getting endlessly delayed and as of late hardly any progress is ever made. I get games take time to produce but if its taking them this long for a town square... I hate this think how long it will take to see the rest of the map. If we ever see the rest of the map...

    An excellent idea if you're getting frustrated about having to wait for the release; FORGET ABOUT IT.

    Honestly, the more you think about it, the longer it is going to seem that it's taking, whereas, if you simply forget about it and wait for Dev Blogs every few months, time will fly by.

    Go do other things in the meanwhile but don't doubt the developers. They have and are putting an incredible amount of time into this game and I'd much rather it be very late than very glitchy.

    @BrianHamilton I am very sorry to hear about that. Nobody should ever have to endure that kind of pain. I am glad you appreciated what I said, I was going through my old comments and saw the one on this thread. I thought it was a bit rude so I just wanted to let you know I changed my mind. It's good news that you are doing well. I hope to see you in game, maybe even as a supporter :).

    Hey, second place isn't too bad ;) .

    Compared to now, it is...I raised myself to believe 2nd place was a place no different than last!

     

    You definitely deserve to be where you are now, @LuciousTimes, with the incredible amount of hard work and determination you've commited to your campaign but my break is about to end and I'm about to get back on my feet again so be ready ;)

    For real though, very well done and you're doing an excellent job. I can't wait to see you and @URSAMAJOR03in-game.

    I guess I was wrong @BrianHamilton! Honestly really cool to see your support grow, and I might look into your party a bit more! Good luck!

     

    Thank you so much, that really means a lot.

    Since the loss of a close friend at the start of February, I have been taking some time to myself and have not been focused on Identity as of recent, however, with the BETA just around the corner, I'll be sure to get back on my feet and ready before access.

    Unfortunately though, my download speed is appallingly bad. In fact, although I have absolutely no issues running GTA V, it took me nearly 2 days to download and install it so I worry for when it comes time to install Identity.

    Okay, let me clear everything up for you, @TIBURON7013,

    If you purchase the Founder package for $30 or any package higher/more expensive than Founder/$30 you will have access to the BETA release for the first module which is called Town Square. This module is estimated to be released on April 22nd. There will be 3 modules (including Town Square), however, we are not yet aware of any release dates regarding them, only for the Town Square module.

    If you do not purchase Founder package or any package higher than £30, you will not have access to the BETA on April 22nd and any other modules once they release and you will have to purchase the full game at full cost when it fully releases at the full retail cost. The only exception to this rule is if you purchase the Citizen package for $15 which will grant you access to the game when it fully releases at the discounted cost of $15, however, you will not have any access before then and you will not be able to enter the Town Square BETA or any other BETA modules prior to the game's full release.

    In the Town Square module, it will be extremely limited at first, with the developers constantly working on adding new things all the time and many updates may be required throughout the BETA to help fix bugs, glitches and for them to add in new features, including the future modules when they eventually release, however, they are not a priority right now. You should also NOT expect full map exploration and access to every planned feature within the Town Square module as this is strictly a social module for you to get a feel for how well the game runs and functions, along with allowing you to interact with others within the community, socialise and see some of the features that are currently being worked on and improved upon.

     

    I hope I was able to help.

     

    PLEASE QUOTE OR TAG ME IF REPLYING TO MY MESSAGE WITHIN THIS THREAD. I WILL NOT BE NOTIFIED OTHERWISE AS I HAVE NOT ENABLED THREAD NOTIFICATIONS AND DO NOT WISH TO.

    So just to clear this up; This video is not intended to bring hate to the developers but more to show them what the community wants and give them some recommendations on what they should do! Leave your opinion; agree or disagree with my points on here on in the comments. Thanks- Aaron.

     

     

    Hi @GreyFox,

    Firstly, excellent video and you make a lot of great points.

     

    Now, I'm sure you've seen me around the community quite a lot in the past (with the exception of the previous 2 months due to the death of a very close friend in my life) and you may have even seen just how often I am constantly defending the developers and saying "no, no, it's okay, they are a very small team and the work they have accomplished over the years is incredible". However, if you have seen me posting regarding the developers, then you've most likely also seen me talk about how "with the extreme importance of the Town Square module and the giganticness of it within the community, I am positive (I even used that word numerous times) that they would not give a release date for this module unless they were entirely sure".

    I am disappointed. Truly and fully, I am disappointed and I even feel somewhat stupid.

     

    I have said many times in the past that, with such a small development team and the pressure of the community, any dates they gave should be expected to be estimates, not specific, factual dates, except for the Town Square which I was certain they would keep their promise on. However, after listening to some of your points about what they have been doing with their time, building concept art and features which won't be needed for anything even remotely close to the Town Square, once again, I feel somewhat stupid.

     

    Now, like you, I am not in any way attempting to hate on the developers as I am not a hateful person and I have a lot of respect for the developers and all of the hard work they are doing. In addition, I give my congratulations to the lead programmer on the birth of his son. However, as you said, that shouldn't be any reason for delay and their money should be spent much more wisely. If they are that small of a team, why not continue to hire people? I know they have career positions available but they clearly aren't hiring enough developers or at least not consistently enough and aren't maximising use of their $1,000,000 that they earned.

     

    In conclusion, I will always continue to defend the developers against trolls who try to do nothing but trash them for delays (as they will also be the same people expecting a fully-fledged and functional, glitch-free game on April 22nd), however, they have definitely lost a lot of my trust and I do not think I can believe any other dates that they may provide. I'll just have to wait and see if they stay true to their word this time.

     

    I also believe - but could very possibly be wrong, it has been a few months so forgive me - that we may have clashed once or twice in the past about this topic, however, I admit that I have been foolish in trusting the developers on their promise. I was strongly looking forward to March 21st and now I simply feel disappointed and frustrated that we have to wait yet another month. I understand that it takes time and "Rome wasn't built in a day" but it's been 3 years for one, small social module with very limited exploration and interaction other than between players.

     

    Developers and Moderators, please do not think that this is in any way a hateful or conflict-creating post, however, I am very much disappointed.

     

    EDIT / ADDITION:

    I also think that we need to see a lot more evidence of work from the developers, without spoiling the surprise for when the Town Square releases, so that we can confirm that they are at least somewhat close to finishing the Town Square. I don't want to see deer or S.W.A.T. uniforms. They won't have any part within this module and I'm a politician not a police officer.

    SHOW US MORE OF THE TOWN SQUARE!

    E aí pessoal, algum Br aí só dando um rolê pelo site, e esperando o lançamento do jogo ?

    GOOGLE TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH: 

    And there, guys, some Br there just hanging around the site, and waiting for the game to launch?

     

    @4Drakes, the game does not yet have a release date and, most likely, will not be released until either the very end of 2018 or, even more likely, early-mid 2019 but that's still a big push. We honestly have ZERO way of knowing when the game will be released so that is just a personal guess but don't get your hopes up for the end of 2018. Just forget about the game and come back to it another time. If you keep thinking about the game, it will seem like longer :)

     

    The BETA release for the very first module, Town Square, will be released on March 21, 2018 to anybody who has kickstarted/pledged $30 USD or more for the Founder package or higher. The Town Square module will strictly be a social module demonstrating some of the very limited features that the game will currently have due to its early stages. You should not expect full map exploration but instead, simple access to the town square and interaction with other players.

     

    GOOGLE TRANSLATION TO PORTUGEUSE:

    O jogo ainda não tem uma data de lançamento e, provavelmente, não será lançado até o final de 2018 ou, ainda mais provável, no início de meados de 2019, mas isso ainda é um grande impulso. Nós realmente temos ZERO maneira de saber quando o jogo será lançado para que seja apenas um palpite pessoal, mas não tenha esperanças para o final de 2018. Basta esquecer o jogo e voltar a ele novamente. Se você continuar pensando no jogo, parecerá mais longo

    A versão BETA para o primeiro módulo, Town Square, será lançada em 21 de março de 2018 para qualquer pessoa que tenha iniciado / prometido $ 30 USD ou mais para o pacote Fundador ou superior. O módulo da Praça da Cidade será estritamente um módulo social que demonstre algumas das características muito limitadas que o jogo terá atualmente devido aos seus primeiros estágios. Você não deve esperar uma exploração completa do mapa, mas sim um acesso simples à praça da cidade e a interação com outros jogadores.

    I don't think aircraft would cut off communication between players. What if the pilot has to speak to the control tower, which can be run by players, or if he takes passengers to their destination? Although as devs said it would make the island feel too small, so it makes sense to not have air travel, unless they release a new island in a dlc.

    Plus, people would kamikaze every two seconds.
