    Don't fucking dare say this community is at fault at all. We have waited two fucking years and all we have is a few pictures. We gave these guys 250 fucking grand in two years. Where is that twitch channel they would work on and stream. They did it the first time today and played fucking PUBG. Sure it may take time but don't fucking dare insult this great community that has dealt with this shit

    I didn't say the community is at Fault, I simply said complaining causes games to go down hill. I also said that those who have been waiting since kickstarter which I meant those people who have waited more than 2 years. I said those people who come here to the community within the last months have complained more than the ones who have waited the longest. Do you see that ? 

    People pledge to the game and then decide they want a refund, like why are you pledging if you don't like delays and little to no info on the game. Why they don't just wait to see more before pledging instead of pledge and ask for a refund. 

    I have seen a similar game with their crowd funding page and it says this as I quote.

    Quote

    This is not a pre-order of items. You are pledging to support the development of a game and therefore acknowledge that you're not paying for items but donating for the development of a video game and getting digital and/or physical items as a thank you.

    I know this for one don't count towards Identity because the first package is a pre-order however, it is pretty much the same. You are pledging with a donation to help support the development of this game and are receiving items as a thank you.

    I am not saying that all of those asking for a refund is guilty of not having a good reason but some who pledge and then think "I want my money back because there has been a delay" typically annoy me because if you pledge you should know what you are getting into and if you don't know then don't pledge. Every time someone asks for a refund, that is time taken from development really. 

    Ok, I strayed off the point there so here I will end this.

    But remember I didn't say those waiting for 2 years don't have a reason to complain. I am saying those who join as late as this can't complain as they haven't exactly waited at all. 

    When did you start following the project Alpha? 2 years ago? Well if so you have a good reason to complain about lack of info. I have a reason to complain too but I know that gets me know where and also could just delay the game more. I know as well that "Games" like this Take longer than 2 years and so as much as I hate to wait another year, I am prepared to do so for the better of the game.

    Thanks for hearing me out.

    Cheerio.

    When do you think its even going to release?

    I have no clue and I can just really take a guess like everyone can, but there is no way to say it will be out when we think as a delay could come again. It generally is best to not think about it, as because you will get over excited and maybe will start asking the question or complain about it is taking too long.

    So people aren't allowed to complain about waiting because other people have waited longer? That's like not being allowed to complain about losing your finger because some person lost his whole arm. 

    No, I am saying they can't really complain unless they have really pledged but also why should they complain if people who have waited much longer than them and they are being more patient than the ones who come late. Complaining don't/ won't make the game or info come quicker. I am saying don't pledge if you will just complain because of lack of info or delays.

    Hey all this is my first post, i'm not really sure how to go about this but i was thinking maybe like a construction career with a minigame or something like that in certain designated areas and only have so many sites and such maybe to develop a new city or something like that

    There won't be building buildings as a thing and so that means no "Construction" career etc. They could always add it in the far fetched future but I think it is way off. Also can you please use the search bar next time, or browse through resources available on the forum like the 2 FAQ's but I know I have answered this many times already and it also has been suggested enough times too.

    In their latest Q&A they mentioned that there will be seasonal updates. When it's winter there would be snow etc. There isn't too much information on this but there are definitely going to be seasonal updates. You can find their latest Q&A on YouTube. 

    That is seasonal updates for things like "Christmas", "Halloween", "Easter" and other days celebrated in single countries like "4th of July" etc.

    I don't like it when people complain about not getting info when the devs do Q and A's as well as have been giving us more Dev Blogs. Yes, we have been waiting a long time especially the Kick-starter backers.

    Unless people are the Kick-starter backers then I do not see why people complain because they have not been waiting as long as those guys have been and really those who don't pledge before complaining can't really complain either because they have nothing to lose really; however they can complain if they have waited and actually put money in. 

    No one understands these days that 2 years is not enough for a game in development and I believe it is a minimum of 3 years to expect a game like this and really that is how development is, delays over more delays which is a good thing for the game but can be annoying for the backers because they have helped out early on.

    If the developers give us everything now about the game, what will there be to look forward to? I don't think there will be something we won't know about the game to look forward to after all and well also I want to look forward to trying everything out, but also not getting all that information now because I want to have hype when the game comes out. I however don't want to know everything about the game and so I have nothing to be excited for when playing the game.

    This is however my opinion and always will be above and below is a fact which has been seen lately.

    The more the community complains and asks for more content the more developers give in. The more the developers give in, is how much more the community members ask for more anyways. This is an endless cycle of "Give me more and I will be fine" but once the info has been given, the person asks for more again and won't stop. 

    The more we get the more we want.

    Communities make games fall apart but also can make games strive.

    An example of a game falling apart partly by the community is "No Mans Sky": the "NMS" community pushed the developers to the brink which caused the game to not be completed like it was shown off as it would be, it was because the community pushed the devs to give a unfinished game. It also was caused by the publisher because they wanted the game out on a tight deadline, which happened to be that it didn't get finished by in which delayed the game. They still pushed it back too short of what the game needed with the community pushing for a game to be released and that pressure is hard to maintain after enough of it.

     

    I just wan the game to release like you guys and I have been waiting a long time like a lot of the community has and I can say that I have seen the developers here improve with PR over the last 6 months more than anything even though they are still a very small team with people working more than 1 job at a time.

    I hope everyone is happy when the module releases and the advice is if you are not happy with the little info we get then don't pledge until you are satisfied. Pledge if you understand we could get a big delay again but understand why and all the reason it is for a good reason but also if you want to help the devs out.

    Thank you if you read my ramble and I hope everyone understands.

    Cheerio and I hope I can answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.

    Are cars automatically flagged for a ticket for violations? What I mean is if I run a red light and no one is around to see it will I still get a ticket automatically or does someone have to see the violation?

    Cars get automatically flagged for a ticket yes, but I don't believe you will get a ticket. The flag just means a cop could give you a ticket. If you don't get flagged then a cop cannot give you a random ticket e.g. it stops those trolls giving everyone a ticket.

    well what it could do is like gta online where you start an adversary mode and it puts you in a separate server, but instead in identity you would have to go to a physical place to start then you enter via machine, then the "freemode" server would have less lag, and the game could pass this off as the arcade booting up to make this system more realistic.

    Except from identity devs don't like a GTA style way of doing things e.g. they want things to be not "loading" for stuff and like it to all be seem less instead as because loading screens mean immersion breaks.

    i have two things that i would like to see in the finished game. they are very ambitious things for the currently small development team and i would much rather the game came out first and then this was added in so this by all means has minimum priority.

    my first suggestion is that of architecture, i would love the ability to design and live in my own house, this would also offer up a larger range of career paths such as the architect themselves, the construction workers and the local council where the person wanting the building has to apply planning permission.

    my second suggestion is hacking, this idea in itself is very unrefined and probably have to rest very high in the skill tree, im not quite sure how hacking in the game could work but id love to hear your opinions.

    both of these opinions are probably worthless yet theyre just things id enjoy in the game.

    thank you for reading K9

    Ok, my constructive criticism.

    Your first suggestion is the better of the 2 and I will go in more detail after on why.

    However, there are problems with having an architect job because people will likely design houses like in ARK or RUST and they look Sh*t, no offence to them but they really look ugly too. I think that it would only work if there were pre-defined plans for the structure and you could change different sort of things on the look e.g. you pick a design and then there is a couple of different styles of the design of the house and then you pick the design / layout of the interior etc. 

    The problem. Building houses will firstly be a problem because the devs would have to incorporate their "Interior designing" inside the house into those houses built by players. It for one will be hard to do that.

    The good news is that I am sure the devs said "Possibly in the future" being for building houses in the world..

    Hacking; I don't think that is something which should be in the game because there is little to no interaction in the crime itself, which the game being about the interactions as a key feature means it don't fit in. Also hacking, is not as fun as going in a building to steal information or things and it just don't sound impressive to me.

    However there is many things it could go and be used for but it would generally be hard to implement and so I think something else/ most things are better worth adding rather than this.

    Why the first is better than the second suggestion? It is because of interactions being made with others is a lot higher than being able to hack things for information and i really think hacking is a lazy/ easier route to get what you want and rather would not be too risky and so i think it is best that if you want to get information then you need to go steal it as it will be more rewarding than sitting behind the scenes than going in a high risk environment area to get what you are looking for.

    Overall, I hope the first suggestion on how I explained it should be being in the game.

    I hop this helps, have a nice day.

    will the other 2 modules be made faster because you already have player-models and systems in place

    The S.W.A.T. module (Module 2) will be a lot quicker than the 1st and 3rd one. The town square module was only as long as it is because the making of all the base systems to the game being coded/ made. Then the devs had encountered problems as well as re-making/ designing the module as the roads were too small and also having a very small team where only a couple of the team was full time working on Identity and the rest being free lancers working on other projects.

    The racing module will take long because the physics and all the calculations and bugs / problems they may encounter on the way which are un-forseen things.

    I think it is good idea... Players should have own gas stations ;)

    That will be immersion breaking if you can't get gas because a player is offline.... There for it is not suitable for it to be player run.

    Basically this is just an idea I had, and I haven't seen it pop up yet. Many have followed the game for a long time, and many will participate in the modules and the beta. We do get the Founders Hat, but it would be cool to have limited edition items that carry over to release for taking part in the modules and the beta - perhaps one for each module and the beta? It could be a piece of clothing, a wallpaper, rug, poster, etc. 

    I have a good Idea, Module 1 item can be a in-game painting of the "Town Square", Module 2 item can be the s.w.a.t. module picture on a T-Shirt and the 3rd one can be like a Car trophy ornament thing for module 3. The beta can be a Map of the island as a poster.

    I think the official servers probably won't reset after the full game is released like other games do, because it will be hard enough to get money and start off and having things reset could lose people with interests to play still because they do soo much to just lose it after a certain amount of time and that is not worth to keep doing I think.

    I've been watching for a while now and I'm a bit excited about this one. I am curious if a fishing boat business might be possible... guess I'll keep an eye and see.

    Hello and Welcome to the Identity community!

    Well, I believe fishing is a way to get money to start but it won't get you a lot of money generally, well it will be small income.

    for 30 dollars (and/or more) you will get beta access, (and alpha test on each of the first 3 modules). We still dont have any official ETA from the devs, but a good guess would be in the end of this month, or maby in the beginning of june, if they gets delayed.

    He didn't ask about when it is out, he said can he "record" lets play videos in the beta/ modules.

    Heyy ya'll! May someone further explain how the gym/workout system is going to work in the full Identity release? My only knowledge of this is that players will be able to gain weight and lose weight, and for realism purposes everyone will look different weight wise (obese, chubby, skinny, fit). 

    Ok, this system won't make it to full release but is on the developers plan of features which will come in after full game launch as one of the separate updates.

    Hello! : D

    I would have a question because there is the support of the steering wheels, most of them by Thrustmaster. Will Logitech steering wheels also work, like the G29, because many have the same, like me?

    Thanks for a reply, already in advance! : D

     

    Sry, when my message is blue, i think its a bug.

    Here is the same answer you read on the main post. 

    So far the Thrust-master ones are confirmed. ( if its a popular steering wheel, it'll work)

    So if it is popular then it will be supported.

    Physical houses will not be instanced. All apartments will be instanced

    Physical houses will be instanced to a certain extent e.g. they are not unlimited but you cannot see people walk past the house would be something which is why it is instanced.. Apartments will be fully instanced.

    So, once we will be able to play and roleplay, I and I bet lots of people won't use mics. Either because they don't have a mic or because they don't want to use a mic. For example, on my situation I won't use a mic because I feel it's a pity to talk when there are chats. 

    Will myself and other users with the same issue be in major disadvantage? 

    Best bet is to find a text chat only private server if you don't want to lose immersion from typing.

    true , but people will go to private servers either way, and if people  go to a modded private server that means that that server did something that the dev's didn't do.

     

    and again if a server has a nudity mod. and you don't wan't that , dont play on that server :)

     

    idk we will have to wait and see but personaly i think mods can add a extra few life years to a game

    You see this quote below, that is something what i said in the post above.... I don't care about sex in the game personally, but the developers do and they don't want it in the game via any method and if they did then they would add it themselves!

    Quote

    One of the first things people will do is add sex to the game (Personally I do not care) but the devs do and if they wanted it then they would add it

    If there are mods, people will swarm modded communities generally because they have modding and so it ruins the other servers, (NOT official) but the other private ones but not only that I think the devs should have a chance to put everything in and if they do it then they still keep the game to the main line which will allow everyone having the content and it can be disabled or enabled by private server owners. Don't get me wrong but modding is good but most mods made will be utter crap and that just ruins the game overall and I'd rather pay for more content than get it for free from modding, but that is to an extent of updates and after all the updates for the planned content.
