    Well, whenever it is.. I'm ready. And I'm really hoping I get to play with you!

    May I ask, is there a TeamSpeak server or a Discord server that the people on Identity uses? Would love to get to know the community a bit more "in person" so to speak!

     

    There is a Discord server that the community uses -- I will warn though that it's an unofficial Discord so there's not a bunch of equal power and regulation in it. More of just a "chat box" for their website (but not in the website :P)

    Ohh, okay! I kind of misunderstood that part. Thank you for clearing that up! 

    I can wait a couple of weeks, that's not a problem at all! I would've guessed 1-3 months before the release of the first module.

    Now I am even more excited! :D

     

     

    Never know, it could be 1-3 months. I wouldn't get your hopes up -- I'm trying not to. They estimated the release originally around the end of March/beginning of April, but it was delayed due to PAX and another event I can't think of at this moment. Hopefully, it is earlier than months tho ;)

    Oh, easter weekend? That's not far away at all! I haven't been around the community long at all, as you noticed, so I didn't even know about that! The sooner the better, but no rush! I want it to be near perfection when it's released. I'm not getting my hopes up too much, considering all games have some flaws upon release. :)

    Kind regards,

    Alphoni

     

    I'm not sure if you're aware, but they're releasing it in modules and will be updating it continuously until the next one will be released. Some people are saying that it will most likely be released in the coming weeks -- one of the most active and knowledgeable members of the forums is estimating Easter weekend -- which I hope he's right about because I'm excited!

    My plan is to start a company! Create something incredible that will inspire other players to keep on working on their business/company within the game. Something that I can be proud of as well! I do not have a character story yet, no. I haven't thought that far!

    I'm not sure of what my goals are when the first module is released. I'm just really excited to test it out, see how the game feels. I truly do believe it has got some great potential!

     

    Same! Hopefully, people are right about it being released around Easter weekend. Doubt it tho.

    Hello!

    Allow me to introduce myself.

    My name is Jonathan, I'm mostly known as Alphoni online, and I'm quite new to the Identity community! 

    I've been having a look around this community, and the game itself for a couple of days now and it seems promising! Just a couple of minutes before I made this post I actually pledged $90 to the community, because I truly do believe it has potential! And I've always been a fan of Life simulator games. So I'm really excited for the release!

    Allow me to introduce myself a little more!

    As I said, I'm Jonathan! I'm 19, I turn 20 in July. I work as a personal assistant (I help people with disabilities), got a lot of strange work hours, so the hours I'm online and active may vary a bit! I finished school last summer, I used to study Helicopter Technology, ended up working with disabled people, that took quite a turn, eh? Well, I'm happy with what I do! I got my own place, I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, It's enough for me to get by, I don't need a lot more room for my activities!

    I'm a very happy, optimistic and chatty person. I have it easy to get along with most people! So I believe I'll get to know most of you quite fast!

    Well, if you have any question, please ask! I'd love to talk!

    Kind regards,

    Alphoni

     

    What do you plan to do in Identity? Do you have a character story yet? Any goals you wish to accomplish when the first module releases? I'm very interested, possibly we could have some role to play in each others lives in Identity -- as you know I've already had contact with you and you seem like a very mature and positive person :)

     

    Great talking to you,

    Indeed!

    So here's a further suggestion on how to perhaps get rid of that idea of building randomly appearing and getting bigger. Perhaps there should be a construction site around that building that is being constructed to a higher level. And if you're going to get a big skyscraper-like building, you should be near the city area, perhaps? 

    It's not too complicated to figure out, just takes some discussion and some time to solve these minor complications.

    and I appreciate you offering to help! I might just take you up on that! ;)

    Kind regards,

    Alphoni

     

    That's a good addition to the question, having construction sites where possibly construction workers could come in and have to renovate and build it. The company would be down for a specific amount of time. It would add much diversity to the game. 

    Help is always given to those who deserve it :)


  7. It's a highly possible thing, but I doubt it will be implemented on the first module's release. I also think it might be weird to just see buildings just sprout up randomly. However, it would be a very nice progression system, as well as it would make each map on each server very different from the last -- as you slowly grow, so does the town. It's a very nice concept and I hope to potentially see something done with this. 

     

    I also see you're new to the forums, if you need any help with anything I'm open for messages! Welcome to Identity.

     

    See ya around and have a wonderful day,

    Some say apartment because if you got the package that offers it than you will get one. If not than hotel at first.

     

    Hopefully everyone won't be put on the streets... like we just got dropped off to colonize a foreign, remote island or something haha.

    I'm planning on carrying out my business as a farmer that I had on all the other life servers. My friend and I are both backers and we love to farm so thats our duty! I plan on living a normal life in here to see how the baseline is. 

     

    Someone's gotta put food on the shelves. ;)

    These devs need to give us something new already we all been waiting patiently and almost coming to the end of the month which means the module wont even be out this month

    Another delay?

     

    No flame, but they actually recently released a newsletter on March 28th, also it's only April 10th... which is 1/3 of a month. So it's not "coming to the end of the month". Just clearing things up.

    English??? please so I can answer.

    Well no way to play yet as it is not out. There will be a announcement before the first module is out but until then no one knows the release date and only can estimate it.

    If you have pledged $30 or more then you will have access when they are available.

     

    Rough Spanish translation via Google Translate.

     

     

    ¿¿¿Inglés??? Por favor, para que yo pueda responder. Bueno, no hay manera de jugar, ya que no está fuera. Habrá un anuncio antes de que el primer módulo esté fuera, pero hasta entonces nadie sabe la fecha de lanzamiento y sólo puede estimarla. Si usted ha prometido $ 30 o más entonces tendrá acceso cuando estén disponibles.

  12. A question I'm currently conflicted with, is what will you start with? When you first load up the game, what will you start with? Will you be an infant child, naked on the ground, with no money? or will you be given starter money, a set of chosen clothes from the customization menu? or will all of this just be dependent on the server administrators and how they see it best fit? I understand they want to make it where everything is hard to get, money is realistic, and clothes are more of a cosmetic more than a necessity, but where is the line drawn between needing to be realistic, and making it where players don't have to beg for money on the streets to begin actually enjoying the game? I'd love to hear some of the communities opinions on this.

  13. 2037: A meteor that was suspected of passing earth hits near Syria with the coined name, "Tomahawk-Z43". It wipes out an estimated ~2,000 people and caused massive damage to the surrounding area, driving thousands more from their homes as they fell into rubble from the blast.

    i have no clue if you will be able to use cameras like in arma or if you can actually use chairs to sit and stuff. But imagine if you're at your home turn on the tv start watching some streams and someone on your server is streaming "The News" and they are inside an office sitting down actually talking about things inside that server.

     

    It would be crazy man! I'm so looking forward to what we will have accessibility wise when it comes to televisions. If they do it right, which I entrust they will, they could have one of the most unique television systems in the gaming community.

    Maybe something the devs could do is add some sort of directory of recommended stations. The Morning News, or National Cable News networks could be on there too run by the people.

     

    Like my recent reply on my thread, adding a "TV catalog" could quickly enhance the TV feature. 


  16. 18 minutes ago, SupremeLeader said:

    What I would find really cool is if there could be like morning news that could be played on Live TV. In the preview, they showed that they could watch Twitch.tv Livestreams on the TV in game. So what if an organization could create some sort of Live morning news that people could tune into daily?

    Would be really sick.

     

    If they could potentially find a way to get a good Twitch game-section. For example, if you look at CS: catelogoeGO's it shows what rank you are and for Minecraft, they have streaming implemented into the game. Maybe they could potentially get a system like this added into the game so that you could stream from in-game and have a various amount of additional options so as to have a "TV catalogue"


  17. 7 minutes ago, SupremeLeader said:

    Good point. Hell, if nobody's doing it then I just might get a livestream going for people to tune into. Maybe my own playlist of my favorite TV shows or something, or news on politics on the Island.

     

    We could always watch those "24/7 Spongebob Season 3" YouTube live streams!

    Not sure if this was recommended already, but while I was searching the forum I came across somebody making a Boxing League and I got an idea.

    What if the devs somehow found a way to livestream the fights, so then people can watch them live on their TVs at home? Also this could open avenue to new careers, such as sports-casting, venue-management, coaches, fighters, etc.

     

     

    I doubt this will be added on the developer's side, but I highly suspect that players will end up Twitch streaming events and as far as I'm aware, the TVs available in-game have access to Twitch API and can play streams that are found on their website. So in hindsight, it is a possibility, but it would depend on players to broadcast the events and for the audience to know what stream to tune into ;)

     

    Nice thread keep it up,

    I'm a radio presenter now 

     

    I can't wait for the Fallout-type style radio casters. Always enjoyed listening to the hilarious station on that game. What do you plan to present about? Actual news or just wacky stuff?

    I am new to this community and game. A few days ago I found a video about Identity...which I had to watch several times because I could not believe my eyes on what I had come across.

    Like.. there was this MMORPG in the works I had always searched for :).

    So I had to plege for the game and I am now anxiously waiting for the beta with the rest of you :).

    Hopefully I get to know some of you and great social relationships are made at the town square:)

    Charmeley

     

    Haha, I've seen the house tour video around 15 times. It helps me calm my anxiety about the wait, being able to see the gameplay. I'm with you on it being a game I've searched for FOREVER! Welcome to the forums, my friend.

     

    Have a good stay,
