    In the future, please look around the forums a little bit before asking a general question. Not only is the question in almost every FAQ, but there are literally hundreds of other threads asking the exact same question. Use your resources, please.

    Hello, everyone!

    I have a great idea for a business that I might possibly like to invest time in creating. However, I know very little about how to form a business and how a business works. I will not be publicly displaying my business idea (for fear of copiers), but I would be interested in telling you what I am looking for in education about my business. I have seen that there are many talented and educated people on these forums, and I am asking that just one of you will help me learn. Thank you very much. Message me if you are interested.

    This is an incredibly creative and inventive way to advertise! Great idea! Hope to see it be put into action.

     

    Here are some others ideas for referral incentives:

    A T-shirt or hat similar to the Founder's Hat.

    A painting or poster for your house or apartment

    A coupon for a free haircut or movie (I don't know, sounds kinda stupid)

    The game is going to encourage and influence proper traffic rules. Ultimately, it will be up to the players to keep order on the road (and I personally hope that the rules will not only be followed by many, but also enforced by the police).

     

    But remember that emergency vehicles are supposed to pass through red lights if they are in pursuit of an emergency. An ambulance may sometimes be forced to stop in the middle of the road if it is the best place to quickly get to the emergency. Drivers are expected to pull to the side of the road if an emergency vehicle is approaching with their sirens on in order to provide a fast and safe route for the vehicle to get to their emergency.

    Hi everyone! I think one of the most important things in making a game work well is the UI or user interface. Not only does it need to work well, but it needs to look pretty. I recently posted something similar to this in another thread, but I decided it might as well have its own thread where people can add other ideas. 

     

    My favorite User Interface ever in a game can be found in Forza Horizon 3. I have mentioned this game quite a few times to the devs in order for inspiration for vehicle design and interaction. 

    The UI is absolutely stunning and works incredibly to suit the needs of the game. The main menu is my favorite part, which happens to look a little bit like the start menu in Windows 8 and 10 (granted, Forza is a game produced by Microsoft). There are multiple tabs that are categorized for different uses and each tab has multiple things for you choose from to continue to the next menu. There are moving pictures and videos, as well as variation between picture backgrounds and opaque colored tabs. Some tabs even display news and will continue through all of the different things that the game would like to announce without you having the open the tab. Here is the best video on YouTube that I could find that exercises it without me having to make a video myself.

     

     

    I think that if the devs were going to use another game as inspiration, it should be this one. Many MMOs lack an original and beautiful UI, but I think that this could change with Identity along with the many other things that Identity is improving upon. 

     

    Please leave feedback and further ideas in the comments, and please use specific game references if it is not an original idea of your own so that I can look them up! Thanks.

    Hmm. It's interesting and I think it's a start but I personally would like something a little prettier and original. 

     

    I don't know if you have ever played Forza, but I am in love with the UI in Forza Horizon 3. Check it out in this video:

     

     

    Everything about the ui in this game is stunning, but I especially love the main menu. I'll admit that it looks a little bit like the menu in Windows 8, but it's more neutral and much prettier (and unlike Windows 8, it works incredibly well for the game.)

    Hi everyone! I just realized that today is my one year anniversary of being on the forums! I just wanted to talk about how great it's been to get to know a couple of you! 

     

    Here's to another year of answering questions, coming up with new ideas for the game, and making friends. See you all in Town Square soon!

    Punctuation

    Just so you know, what you described is a balanced system. It is not supposed to be easy to escape after committing a huge crime; just like in real life. The police are supposed to have an upper hand, that is what is supposed to make a society safe. I think what you want is a world where it is acceptable and easy to commit felonies and then get away with them, which is neither realistic or going to happen. Crime is going to be challenging, and law enforcement is going to be dangerous and also challenging. Identity isn't going to be like Grand Theft Auto where the game is designed for you to quickly and effectively commit huge crimes with little strategy and planning and then just escape. And remember, if on the off chance that you do escape from the police in identity, you are going to be wanted forever until you are locked away unlike GTA where you are out of sight for 2 minutes and then suddenly you're free. A life of crime is going to be a life of struggle, with only few people that are hugely successful. The game is designed to be immersive, and I think the team is doing a very effective job at doing so.

    I would love to have custom furniture!

    If you watched the housing insider, he talked about how all furniture is custom. It is designed by either you or a manufacturer and that player will be able to craft it for you to buy.

    You might be able to be an fashion consultant, maybe? If people need help finding a look for them you could sit down with them and plan out fashion and hair. Kind of like a wedding planner, but for looks. I don't know. I'm trying to be creative, haha.

    I've recently been playing Forza again, and I just can't help but dream that the cars will look like that in Identity. I mean, GTA V cars are kinda nice, but they're nowhere close to Forza and I'm really hoping that Asylum can surpass GTA cars. They are stunning in Horizon 3, and I just can't wait to see. cough @HairyGrenade do you know who will be working on cars cough cough.

     

     

    I just dream for beauty like forza and functionality like ETS2 with all the goods like turning signals, wipers, and the like. I AM SO DAMN EXCITED FOR THIS GAME
