  1. This is legit bad business practice

    @jjustgreg In the Twitch clips, it's been said that it's a possibility that we will have the option to upload small images for shirts (or company logo), which will be moderated. Although, you won't see that in the modules for now.
  2. It's almost time!

    Keep it civil please, also no need to post useless comments that doesn't contribute at all to the conversation.
  3. 10 DAYS UNTIL LAUNCH!

    Apartment customization, shoplifting, drug consumption (no effects yet), jumping around (animation is funny). There will also be added features like the shooting range at police station for example. But at the base, it's a social module, and it's to try the features that you'll find in Town Square.
  4. Totally off topic, relationship topic, personal and venting

    Kate, I know it must be hard for you. If you need to, there's plenty of resources out there to help you, and I'm also here too if you'd rather have a personal talk. Getting out of an abusive relationship isn't easy. I personally haven't been in one, but I've seen many others who struggled with it. When you're left alone, that's the moment where you need someone the most. I'm glad that you actually got here to vent, getting all that out. When keeping it all inside, it fills up like a bucket of water, and eventually it'll be too heavy and overflow. On my personal side of things, I've grown up without even knowing who my dad is. I only assumed that he wasn't the right one for my mother and never bothered asking... Even when my mom one time asked me if I wanted to know. It's just something I got used to and didn't care about. Life isn't made to be easy, you have to stay strong and get back up. Wishing you the best! ~hugs
  5. Anyone Else Unable to Play Identity on Release?

    That's a long wait to get Internet back, ouch! Hope she is fine though. Looking to see you in Town Square.
  6. About the staff who made this module

    Fact is, Kickstarter started in 2015, and development started around that time, which means it's about 3 years in development. I wasn't there at that time though, I only pledged back at the end of 2016, joined forum on 2017, and started being active in 2018.
  7. About the staff who made this module

    The two first streams were from June, then there was the most recent gameplay stream from dasMEHDI in October. As for the engine, they're using a heavily modified UE4. Animations will be fixed at a later time since they're not their top priority. Fun fact, they'll keep the weird jumping animation for now. But it's pretty obvious some people will be upset because it doesn't visually meet their expectation. It's not even beta... But more like an early development sort of like alpha. Cars will make an appearance in the Racing module. There's also a possibility that in a future update of Town Square that you'll be able to visit your garage to check out your car, but you won't be able to drive it until module 3 and later. As for refunds, you'll have to go through PayPal for now. So if it's been too long, chances are that it won't be possible to get a refund. When pledging into a crowdfunded game in early development, you acknowledge to the risks, delays and drawbacks that it might encounter. Some rewards will take more time to be delivered than others obviously. And some of them won't be available until beta/full release.
  8. How will starting a business work?

    You will not be able to have multiple businesses or multiple corporations. You can have a corporation, a gang and a small business though. Jobs (Can you own multiple corporations?

  9. About the staff who made this module

    I understand that the features of Town Square aren't ground breaking, and same for the other two modules. That also applies to many other games on the market. The idea of the Town Square module is simply to socialize around with other players, doing activities, customize your apartment or check out the other layouts, etc. Depends which video you're talking about. For example, the crime video was featuring a lot of placeholders which some were very outdated. Worry not, those will be replaced. As for the Town Square videos, it doesn't look that bad in my opinion. I've seen videos of a few games in development where they focused on the graphics but had very poor game optimization and several bugs. If you're not satisfied yet about the current state of Identity, I'd recommend to wait before investing into it.
  10. The Town Square is coming to Steam!

    I'm not looking forward that lmfao
  11. The Town Square is coming to Steam!

    I'd just like to remind that Town Square was not going to be released on the 31st of October like some others might have thought. It was submitted to Steam and the release date is set for the 30th of November.
  12. The Discord Repository

    @AOOlsson Here's a link of the official Identity Discord: https://discord.gg/identityrpg
  13. TV news system

    I'm not sure why you believe it's incorrect, but I know for sure that his information is correct. Both Twich clips mention about not being able to stream live videos in-game. https://clips.twitch.tv/ColorfulWiseCasetteItsBoshyTime Mechanics (Will the game have a built in video recorder/replay feature?) - November 14th 2017 https://clips.twitch.tv/SmokyCharmingNuggetsBloodTrail Environment (Will there be TV Studios/Newsrooms you could RP in? ft.

  14. HACKING

    I've already been aware that advertisement signs can be hacked, but I'd be curious as to what other citizens would put.
  15. The Steam page is UP!

    Pretty sure that's the case. Since Valve is headquartered in Washington, it uses Pacific time.
  16. If you're unsure, you can just wait it out. Don't forget it's pledges to support the developers, and you get rewards out of it. You can pledge how much you feel comfortable giving to them.
  17. I expect the Racing module to take more time than the SWAT module. They've had bullet ballistics for a long time but they still need some work as far as I know.
  18. I think i heard player shops are a thing...

    @Caboose Player shops are not professions. Yes you'll be able to sell items at a shop, but a NPC will deal with the sales while you can be busy somewhere else. On the clothing side, you'll also be able to draw your own design in the game. Also, there will be the option to create or join a manufacturing corporation.
  19. The Town Square is coming to Steam!

    @cykachica For a second, I thought I've read "delay", but worry not. On another note, I was starting to wonder if they'd submit the module on Steam in time.
  20. Oof

    But then, how is it really efficient? In a general sense, efficiency is the ability to do things well, successfully and without waste. Do we know if it's successful and well made? It goes both ways... Was it when they've found that bug which was deeper in the engine? Also as I said, it's not just one bug... I love how he said "minor" though.
  21. Oof

    Yeah it might be quicker, but we'll see how it goes. Some people prefer more realist, some others prefer more arcade. I'm leaning on realism and don't mind waiting years. Also I know it seems like they're taking so long, it can be frustrating, but too fast isn't necessarily the best. Someone might steal your idea and make it better (...or worse?). Again, we'll see how it goes. And with a little bit of reading, I noticed that Fortnite saw how Battle Royale genre became popular with PUBG (beta), so they added the new game mode on top of the foundation of the game. There's no need to insult other users. And I didn't see him shame anyone because someone criticized Identity. He might have said "uneducated" but it wasn't for that reason. Also, he was presenting his opinion based on what he saw. He might have been speculative, but it wasn't a reason to criticize him that way. And we don't know yet if it's really rushed or efficient... I don't know if anyone have told you, but it's more than just one bug, and it wasn't minor either. Let's see, UI/inventory bug causing a database crash, wonky elevators bringing two users in the same instance, furniture placement bugs, crash caused by sitting on chairs (yep), voice connectivity issues. Most are fixed, but last time I've heard, there was something about apartment instancing, a crash caused by certain piece of furniture being placed and there's probably some more. Source is our lovely Discord server where you have to track for what Sean have said... You're still on about that? Nitpicking is finding small or unimportant faults, to criticize unnecessarily. Hypocrisy is complaining about something while doing that very same thing. I'm not saying who is what, I'm just speaking definitions. You forgot about guns. Also character creation on Nine to Five looks more in-depth.
  22. Oof

    Ehhhh it looks cringy. First time I checked the Indiegogo page, they were under $1000, second time was around $2000, and at the moment I write this, still the same. I think they had a little boost from Psi's video, which honestly made me feel almost sick. Complete bull****ting Identity, then treating 9to5 like it was really good and that we should check it out. *Cough* okay so they started on Kickstarter as far as I know right? And they didn't reach their goal. Then they went for flexible goal on Indiegogo. Oof... I mean sure they'll get all the money even if they didn't reach the goal but still. Also it's been said that they use a lot of UE4 assets. And don't they only use UE4 features too? Game also looks... I don't know, there's just something about it that doesn't appeal me. I'll stick with Identity, and I'll see how both games will go. But yeah I just heard lots of stuff going on with some games trying to compete with Identity.
  23. Another Rant about time square

    Hmm I thought that Sean and James said the sitting bug was fixed Oh I just read that DasMEHDI didn't have the updated client so he still had the bugs, according to Sean.
  24. A slight concern

    You don't have to feel sorry for others willing to support the developers. But I'd like you to at least give a reason why people shouldn't play Town Square.
  25. I'm afraid that some people are probably way too obsessed with such little details like those. A concept is a plan, and I don't mind if they base themselves from real locations, which isn't a first in gaming industry. Although Pav could have easily done a bit of a better job to be honest instead of taking a copy of a picture.
