    like for instance, the whole "mansion design" debocle where the concept artist had done nothing but redone a backcropping of Al Gore's house;

    The "Mansion Concept" is done with a common concept artist technique. I cannot remember the technique name however.

    Its no longer a time for "Well just dont support us anymore" or "The game is still being worked on" or "Nobody is forcing you to stay". Each and every one of those offsetting comments from blind diehards or Mod Teams actuallly just shows the inability to level with the community, to be truthful, to share ACTUAL progress.

    Those comments are not the right things to be said, however it is the truth too. No one is forced to be here, Mods can only show what they are given to show. (They are also under NDA and so unless they are told they can share, then they can't.) The game is still being worked on, as slow as it may be. (I cant give any evidence, but only my faith in the project)

    Most game budget's are higher than merely little $1.5 mil. Games cost a lot nowadays. Most mmo's cost more than $5 million if not more. So the low $1.5 is less than 1/3 of that. I am very patient myself, however it can be frustrating over longer periods and that is why you need to watch from a distance; not closely.

    Nice excuse. So steam magically corrupted the game even ports purchased through here......you might be able to get some gullible people to believe that but stop talking nonsense. 

    I am not talking nonsense. I am telling the truth. The module was fine on the servers before going on the steam servers. I am a customer myself. I tested the module before it hit steam and no game breaking problems were there. You can believe me or not but I won't lie about what I tested as it is not what I will do. Also a fact about day 1 launch for a lot of games on steam, they are broken and I mean game breaking bugs. There is something always wrong on day 1.

    This tag is for my post count.....

    "Limited time offer" for years now, selling packages people haven't even coded yet, pricing beta separately from main game for exact same price, selling beta separately, 1.4 million raised according to homepage, year is 2019 now and we're just getting guns, game is priced on steam for $30 even though its early access and in a "module", it costs as much as Arma 3, most people raise their prices when a product has merit and is reputable. 

    I can't say I agree with everything said or done for the game but, I don't have as much say as everyone else here.

    I'd be happy if the devs, or anyone, was upfront about anything, but late deadlines and the product lacking when it does come out. Such as the "Crime and Punishment" trailer. It makes a lot of people lose optimism. They delayed the Crime/Punishment trailer according to needing a walking animation if I remember correctly, and then upon release claimed it was a placeholder and made no statement on it. If the walking anim was a placeholder then why was there a delay? It's minor, but small lies like that make people feel like they can't trust the devs words. In the gun video, it was shown that melee fighting has real physics, and showed none of it? I doubt it's done, but maybe I'm wrong. In fact, chess, with the town square, was often broken on release as well as numerous decorations within the house. I definitely heard "you can play chess" a fuckton of times before that release. I know plenty of much smaller devs that are a lot more personal and humble about their progress, most people in the community wouldn't care if it was small things to be updated about, or just an honest "It is not done."

    The truth is, the Module wasn't as broken before the release day on steam. Everything was working until it was on steam side for everyone. Basically steam release/ servers broke the module, as nothing game breaking or such which happened was actually broken before steam.

    Any news @JamesLuck01 ??

    Still waiting for an update please. :)

     

    Sorry i never replied before, but currently I am also waiting for an update to give you. When I get one, I will be sure to give it. Other than, they are still working on the game, I have nothing.

    At this point I see absolutely no chance this game is getting finished. 

    A Very Opinionated statement that is and the devs may have not given an update lately but it doesn't mean they have abandoned the project.

    I would request my $15 back but theres no way that is happening

    Ran off with my shit and I didn't even get to play what they DID release

    That $15 was clearly stated for the "Full Game Version" and not any Earlier versions.... Therefor you can wait until the game is done because that is why it was half the price of getting it in Early Access.

    People like the op are in denial they still think the project is still going ahead.

    I think you might also be in denial about the project, because it is still going ahead.... It goes both ways, you don't know it is not still being developed and are just guessing.

    I know it is still being worked on.

    Am I also in denial? (Rhetorical Question)

    Would it be worthwhile for a dev, to pop into the forums and post something up about where they are and what they are currently working on?

    Definitely. I will go and ask for sure and to be fair I would love to see the community get an update.

    Too many unfortunately. I for one think the steam reviews are a disgrace. Ppl reviewing it like it is full game and in all fairness to the devs they clearly stated it was just a module. Any small bit of research would have shown this immediately. 

    No doubt these reviews turned alot of ppl away from purchasing it. 

     

    Yes I agree! The steam reviews are disgraceful.

    Sorry dude but you're wrong. I myself put alot of thought into it and I pledged knowing Damn well it was going to take years.

    I didn't say all people who are complaining put no research or had any thought about the game before pledging. Just a lot of them. I have waited 4.7 years for this. I do ask questions myself. I also ask when they are going to update the community, because It would be nice not for me but everyone to get some news. Just remember that there might not be something worth our while with a update. Yes something is nice and all but having it small and not worth it can be worse than holding out for a bigger update.

    1 hour ago, Nomis323 said:

    But if we hear absolutely nothing from the dev team for months then of course ppl are going to start asking questions. That's only normal. 

    Definitely. Just, it is actually better to have constructive questions and not the ones which just cause arguments.

    Oh boy i cant wait for look on your face when...oh yeah i wont have to see it.

    People have a right to voice their concerns, i don't care what your going to write about how "its SO annoying", you constantly say the same things when challenged but people who spend money on a product or idea have the right to question its validity and progress. Yes these things take time but in that spare time i PASSIONATELY ENCOURAGE every single one of these people to challenge the Devs/Studio, as long as it isn't in a vulgar/name calling way.

     

    Everyone has the right to voice their concern but the question is "How many of the people doing that, did not research more about the project before throwing money away to it?" There are a lot that just saw it and went oh I want that, but it was with no second thought nor reading up about where the project is at in development. Those people need to realise that it is their fault for not putting thought into what they were doing with their money.

    However, Others who read up on the game and did some research first, they should also have put in thought about whether they would want to help development and even wait a long period of time before getting something worth their money. These people have the right to be frustrated at themselves for throwing money in a project which is far from finished as much as with the time they have to wait for updates. But it is entirely their fault for using their money. 

    Go ahead, voice your concerns but remember it is mostly your fault with the waiting, to see where your money was going towards. You had a choice pledge and wait or sit in the background watching as it goes forward with development.

    Enjoy the wait and play other games for awhile.

    Peace out!

  10. Good Communities:

    1. 1. Identity, always welcomed people, helped new members out and great people to talk with. 
    2. 2. Garry's Mod, The community was terrible as a whole but smaller communities were great to join before all the modding started really. I started playing Gmod in 2009 and it was great. The community has got worse as a whole as time has gone on.
    3. 3. Rainbow Six Siege, R6s was great at the very beginning but has ever so slowly got more toxic as the years have past.
    4. 4. ARK: Survival Evolved
    5. 5. Age Of Empires 3

    Bad Communities:

    1. 1. CS:GO
    2. 2. Rust
    3. 3. GTA V

    Alright everyone. I refrained from spreading negative stuff on here until now. I just checked out the refund policy and noticed that if you redeem your Steam key, you can no longer get a refund. They made no announcement of this until after many already redeemed their key. This basically means they never have to finish the game and your money is now theirs. I HIGHLY suggest everyone in the US to make a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I'm only making this post after being told MULTIPLE times over the past year that I was getting a refund only to never get one. If anyone else has been told their money is being refunded and it hasn't been let me know.

     

    Hey, you know it is common sense for you to read/ keep yourself updated on policies. They don't need to make announcements as it is up to the users to keep themselves updated with those things as every company usually reserves the right to make changes to the policies without notice.... If you intend on getting a refund, why would you redeem your steam key? That makes zero sense and so you put yourself in that situation.

    as for the arcade comment, thats 2 months of work only of course its going to look arcade lmao it took what years to get this identity to show off something that looked exactly the same 

    The original comment about the arcade section was because there is a section for other games and that section is called "Arcade". But otherwise this game you think is a lot better is going to be a steam early access and that is not how Identity is doing things. Early access kills games and sometimes it helps but it can kill a game quicker than a game can grow.

    Just remember, they also are working to have a map the size of GTA's one. That is so much more significantly smaller than what Identity will have and well they are going to have "Game-modes" they will have Ai roaming in one like GTA Online will have. Why do we want a new GTA Online? we don't and especially not one with worse graphics. 

    They obviously took the idea, and it still seems to look more arcade like which is a definite no to me liking it. However it could do well or it could just die. I won't hold my hopes but I will keep an eye on it as it seems interestingly a copy of Identity in general.

  13. Just now, ReaL1337 said:

    My 5 cents is that the Town Square will be released very soon and that after that the next modules will be out very quickly before the full game is around next year

    There are 3 Modules and then the Beta before the full game. Module 1 will be the longest module to be developed, Module 2 (S.W.A.T. Module) will release the quickest but Module 3 (The Racing Module), there will be a lot of hurdles to clear, with some brick walls the devs will hit and will take more time than Module 2 but will be shorter than Module 1 in development. Then we will need all 3 modules to be joined as 1 before getting the Beta while also adding in the rest of the features which are planned for Full Game Release including the full map.  The Beta is for general testing, stress testing and bug fixing. Your opinion is optimistic about the full game coming 2019 and I totally hope so but my opinion it will be at least 2020 and I think that is optimistic for me to say. I have faith in the developers but I want to not get my hopes up. I am 100% with them, but we need to wait longer if we want the game we want.

    First of all, CLEARLY you dont have experience in development. Please never say that again. I am pretty sure you dont even know the rules of object oriented programming. 

    You are assuming you know the guy and stating he don't have knowledge about something when you don't actually know him in person.

    Second, its very clear that the company has a bad project management, thus missing all the deadlines, which at the end will lead them to their end. 

    You clearly have not been here too long because you are "practically" saying that the developers have never stated they have made mistakes. Well I can say they have stated they have made mistakes, but I don't see any other company doing so. They are still new as a game company and so things are to be expected to be out of place.

    40 minutes ago, Plumis said:

    Third, the reason of holding the release is maybe because there are no developers to develop? Did you really think that after 4 years of development 1.3 million dollars would be enough? Please be more realistic.

    Everyone knows that amount of money is not enough to develop a game. There were only 3 developers for an entire year. They are now a 25 man team roughly. This has not been in development for 4 years yet. Good games take a couple years, Great games take several years. The team is smaller than a Triple A company but it still has hope to deliver a game of such high standard. The new and small team needs 1. Time 2. Support 3. Trust.     Trust is always last to have with someone.

    Oh and the information which DagTag gave you came not only from the Moderators, it came from the Community Manager. The Moderators get their information from the CM. 

    Don't assume you know somebody unless you actually know them.

    hes saying if you already pledge for a lower package he cant go back and re pledge again to be able to get a higher package that comes with a apartment if he so does choose.

     

    After the 1 week grace period of the new payment methods being available with the new website. The current packages will be gone but singular packages will become available e.g. you can / will be able to still purchase an apartment but it won't include the game with such a package, meaning it is an extra onto having one of the packages now. For Example: I get the Founder package now. The new packages are now added and I want an apartment. I can buy the apartment as a addon to my original pledge without it changing my pledge package. If I were to not have a pledge package and I were to purchase the apartment then I will need to pledge to the appropriate package to get the base game  too. (As I need the base game to use the apartment I just got.)

    If you are interested in a Career as a State Judge, District Attorney or Lawyer then you can apply to be apart of the Department of Justice which will be run by the Judiciary Sub-Director.

    Hey, just wanted to point out. There is no Judge career/ job at all in the game. The Jury players are randomly selected and also becoming a lawyer is a player business. You should maybe just have player requirements as a lawyer etc.

    Hello from Russia! I really love roleplaying games and a lot of played SAMP on RP servers. And I am curious to know how you will support it among the players, and I do not speak English very well, whether there will be any help to me and other foreigners in communication. 

    Hey there,, so on Official servers the language will stay as English but at the full game release the game will get localisation for other languages. However I am sure that someone will start a private server with the Russian language only at a point to cater for your language.

  18. Hello everyone, Just wanted to inform all interested parties in joining our community that our website/ forum is currently undergoing a big change. We are migrating over to a new host and in doing so we have already retrieved our backups and so anything including posts and new members signing up won't get migrated over and so I will update this post when the migration is complete so that you can join our community. This change will help us in the future. 

    Thank you for all your interest and we hope to see you soon on our new site!

    @Beach_Ball @Motown @Paratus Could we maybe get a Feedback Section on the forum?
    It be great if the community could have a proper place for us to give feedback.
    And it will provide a way to sort trough it all and for you to answer as well, now that the module is close at hand.


    It be nice if we could start more two way communication for this game.
    Also the community (speaking for my self at least) I think would appreciate that back and fourth.

    And it would provide a more hands on mentalety, promoting good constructve feedback.
    And will provide a more transparent and genuin atmosphere that i think we all want on here moving forward.

    Thank you for reading.

    This sort of thing will come with the new website like a lot of the forum stuff will. I think more areas will be on the forum for feedback and more.
