  1. Yup! There will be cellphones in game! Along with apps and features to use.

    I remember hearing that there will be different types of cellphones you can purchuse, ie Iphones, Androids, nokia bricks, actual bricks etc


  2. Should be a server selector right? I'd assume that companies would be on just one server unless you expanded, remember servers have 200-500 players so you won't miss out on much

    we wouldn't be making as much profit as if it was available to everyone in the game.

    Well, graffiti is going to be a thing in the game, so maybe you can get into that. ;) 

     

    Hahah. But yeah i'm hoping for sculptures, even statues for the garden maybe

  4. The suggestion is that players can operate their own 'consumer' trucks. By this I mean food trucks, Ice cream trucks and trucks that sell merchandise and such out the side of the back - aka a mobile shop. These can allow the player to move their shop to markets easily, to just RP as a Mr Whippy and just for a bit of fun really.

    -Also players could own the classic hotdog and etc stands, probably using an AI to sell the goods because of the small job, but it would make the owner money.

  5. My suggestion is that every so often a market is held in-game at the town square. This would be players coming together with basic shelters and tents to showoff and sell their products - a way to attract new customers and earn extra revenue! Also, there could be street festivals and parties. This could include film and music festivals.


  6. Already suggested, but i'll add to it.

    It'd be cool to allow shops and businesses to create their own website to;

    • Showcase and sell their products and merchandise 
    • Place orders with shipping companies 
    • Advertise job vacancies which players can apply at
    • Display contact details and addresses

    There could even be an online yellow pages for easy access to addresses and phone numbers.
    Business owners could also create advertisements for online use. This would cost money (probably paid to the server) and would vary in size.

  7. City Councils would add a life-like feature to Identity. They could regulate public transport, waste disposal and keep the streets and parks clean, as well as public buildings (ie library). They could set taxes within the city for leasing shop buildings etc to help cover the costs. Councils would be comprised of a few players.

    They could even organise street fairs, festivals and market days (ie farmers markets and craft markets). Markets could be a fun way to interact with people, as well as a place to make profit.

     

    (I swear i'm not spamming the ideas topic :D)


  8. I think it would be good to have second hand shops where players can either donate or sell their unwanted goods (ie clothes, furniture, books). The store would then sell that to the public. This just ensures players don't accumulate too many items in their homes and can add an extra life like feature to the game

  9. I was thinking it would be neat if land owners (probably only owners of commercially zoned lots) could change the style and exterior of the building. Example; The player wants to upgrade a gungy looking convenience store to a slightly nicer looking one. Or, the player wants to change the colour scheme on the exterior, or even add foliage and seats outside to make it look more welcoming. Obviously this will cost the player money, but will affect the land value of the property. 

    The changes to the building don't have to be big, as that would put demand on the servers with all the change
