    For the most part, there's a few programmers on it, and the art side of thing is ahead. As I said, we're focusing on fixing those bugs, which requires programmers for most of it. I don't have any exact numbers though.

     

    Well, "a few" doesn't sound good.

    The main focus is to fix the ongoing bugs and issues related to Town Square. Then we'll start adding new content like the shooting range, phone UI, more building interiors. From what I know, some of the art of SWAT module is done, but I don't have much information regarding that module. I know there will be a bank heist map for sure. We don't have any ETA for when it'll release unfortunately.

     

    How many devs are actually working on the game now? After some people at Asylum left there's a rumor that there are only 3 devs working on the game left.

    The micro transactions right now are meant to be purely cosmetic and only a select few apartments, they aren't meant to give you any advantage, apartments are mainly for storage and customizing the interior, so we feel it's not really a big deal. We dislike micro transactions just like the rest of you.

    It's not just about giving an advantage it is also about paying money for a shortcut on the game. The whole point of this game is buying better items, cosmetic and non-cosmetic.

    So for example you can show off your expensive apartment to show that you really put a lot of time in the game. Not that you just pulled your real life wallet.

    This can really put off a lot off people, and the devs have to be careful about this. SWBF also never really recovered from the scandal.

    Microtransactions suck. Not just because it gives you an advantage.

    The whole point of this game is for me to make money and build up to a better "lifestyle", this includes apartments, cars and clothing. If I do all this grinding to work my way up these things it just sucks if you're able to buy it all with real money instantly. 

    Then there won't be any point putting time and effort in this game. This could really break the game and make it fail.

    Apartments not houses. Also apartments are not that big of an advantage if you get one and while also the cars are not either, the cars will be regular ones which are not anything fancy or stuff like that, they simply just help you get around, but if you want upgrades, you still have to earn/ buy them with the in-game money. Clothing will be regular things which can simply be bought for in-game money also. 

    Well I know you can buy these things with in-game money, but the point is that it takes someone a lot of time to get these things and some people can get it instantly. Besides, isn't the whole point of the game to make money? to work for it? so when you are driving in your expensive car people can see that your a succesful business owner for example, not that you paid real life money. This can be really dangerous for Identity and can be a major setback for people that want to buy it. Why spent money on a game and have to grind while other people can buy everything instantly.    @Paratus @Motown

    At 8:00 they talk about microtransactions, this is pretty dissapointing and could hurt the game, look at SW: BF2. "Just " clothing vehicles and houses, isn't that the goal of the game, make money and buy better clothing vehicles and houses. But then some rich kid can skip all that work and buy the best things in the game instantly. :(
