    If i buy Identity now, will i be able to play the town square and other modules later? 

    If you buy Identity on steam Early Access or the equivalent $30 Founder package on the site shop then you will have access to identity during the Steam EA period, and after. So yes, you will have it now. The latest Newsletter stated that it will no longer go through module stages but will get significant updates as a whole and so it will be like other EA games and not in small separated portions

    Recent newsletter i got said they only have $170,000 and the developers are working part time

    If you read the whole statement you would be seeing the entire reason he had given that amount.

    There's been talk in the community about our significant $1.6m budget; however, it should be understood that we received that sum over the course of over 4 years. After taxes, licensing fees, platform fees, refunds, etc, our annual developer salary budget has been on average about $170,000.

    Is the game dead?

    No, it is not dead. It is still in development but at a slower pace.

    I paid with PayPal and unsure if it’s protected within the buying pay as a preorder preorder product so I am unsure if I can get a refund.

    Paypal has a 6 month refund policy and so if you purchased it within the last 6 months then, you can get a refund.

    @LuckyDuckyou're in contact with the devs, you ask for an update and they say they have nothing to report.

    Look I don't have all the answers, and yes I may press for more answers but that is already happening. The CM's press for info/ updates that are substantial to give. 

    IMO, A small update will please a lot of people but then at the same time it will cause more arguing/ shit from others because it is a small update and not a big one.

    It has been a year since the First Module's Release. when can we get some info on the Swat module

    3rd question is answered on steam store and is purely a estimated release date. I hope the community gets a update ASAP about the 2nd module.

    Ok I am not against mods or anything,

    but why do I get keep banned every god dam time I raise a concern about the devs? Developers not responding for over 4+months is not normal

    Banned from what? because I wouldn't know as i have not banned anyone for a very long time. Also if you mean discord. Well I am more on the forum than discord and so I wouldn't know sorry. However there would be a reason behind it and not just because you say that.

    Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

    “We currently expect one year of development between each module release, as well as the full Identity release. This time will be greatly affected by our resources; as more people purchase Identity our team grows and development will hasten. Help us spread the word!

    With our current pace, we estimate that the SWAT module will be complete in late 2019, the racing module in 2020 and the feature-complete Identity beta will begin in 2021. These are not to be taken as release dates but as our current best estimates.”

    How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

    “Early access will begin with the Town Square social module, followed by a SWAT module which focuses on competitive and realistic combat, and finally a car racing simulator. These modules allow you to experience the core elements of Identity before release.

    After all modules are available, you'll gain access to the beta/early-access version of Identity as a whole. It is at this point where you'll have full character progression systems, access to the entire game world, persistent gangs and crime, the entire police force and more.

     

    This is copied from the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/792990/Identity/

    Bare in mind that it says estimates and not actual confirmed dates. 

    I cannot answer the second question and will ask about that.

    I think the moderators need to be asking questions on behalf of the users here. I asked luckyjames I think his name is to ask the devs for an update, he said it was a good idea, but nothing ever came of it. I wonder if the moderators are even in contact with these guys as this was over 6 weeks ago when I asked.

    I am sorry, about that and yes, I asked for updates but nothing has came back for me to give you and it is annoying but I do ask each week for updates because I just want them like the community des. I am still asking but I have not got back only because I cant give anything as I have nothing given to me. As soon as I get something I will update you guys but until I get something I cant do that. It is frustrating, with the wait. But Please just keep tagging me each week to remind me to ask for an update. I will ask and if I don't reply then I still got nothing. I am on this forum all day (Browser left opened with it and so I get notifications.)

    If you activated it on steam then no. 

    If you have not redeemed it on steam then the Paypal refund policy is within 6 months of the transaction.

    my point is, they should have seen the negative reviews coming from a mile away, if they released on a somewhat completed basis (the full RPG expirience) with bugs, there would be much less negative reviews

    Yup, I agree. However that would be a lot longer waiting and so the reviews would be just as bad because of the waiting.... People will always complain about something.... People nowadays are greedy and just want everything done when they say "I want it now" etc. If they find the tiniest of things, they will complain about it. That is how the world is/ people are. They search for something to complain about because that is what they want to do.

    Do not annouce something if you are certain you can't release it by then

    Exactly what should be done. A great tip, to stop people moaning but for others to start moaning either way. It is never a winning situation for those in the spotlight. Announce it and be crushed by negative things if failed to complete it by promised time. Or Don't announce such and get people hating on the waiting for the announcement. It is a hard decision to make in most cases.

    A $30 game should bring you a maximum experience, otherwise, you are just inflating the price.

    Like the games we get for $60 and then it is not even the full game and rather like it is in Beta.

    I think people should read before buying because clearly majority of the reviews are for the full game and not a module and just shows that the people who wrote them didn't read the store page or research anything.

    It is sad sad because I want this project to succeed and be the game changer but it is worrying I feel. Thankfully I paid with PayPal and they allow for refunds if the worse is to happen 

    Paypal refund policy states within 6 months, so how long ago did you pledge?

    so let us start exploring the open world, earning money, reporting bugs and glitches on the way and building on that because right now I am starting to worry about this game due to the lack of gameplay and info. 

    It was always stated that the game would be in stages of modules and the Beta will feature the open world map / full game world. The Beta will also include the jobs, cars, RP in general and most of the finished game.

    I said I feel like its a scam, I did not say it is a scam. Please stop twisting my words.

    Im just wondering how RAW got banned in kickstarter when identity did the same thing.

    You pick on Identity, but really why not mention any of the other kickstarter projects that got further funding after kickstarter?  Star Citizen was the biggest crowd funding on there; raising $2 million USD. However they raised over $250 Million USD afterwards...... Identity and these other projects didn't announce they needed more funding after the project like those "RAW" developers did. RAW devs told kickstarter that they was not honest about the funding amount. The others thought it would be enough but realised after the project was complete it was not enough. RAW devs lied about the funding goal being enough because they clearly knew it wasn't enough + they made the goal lower to make sure it got funded..... Rather than the higher goal and less chance of getting the funding...

    Hope this makes a bit of sense.

    Well here is my question. Is the staff working on developing the backbone of this game or just the modules. If the modules are it, then it will just be a game without proper mechanics and wont be truly open world.

     

    To expand on what @dagtagsaid, the rest of the mechanics will be in the Beta. The Beta including all 3 modules, but in 1 world. + the entire map and the the economic system. Jobs, careers. making it the closest thing to the full game.

    I will like an explanation on how simple will it be to just "put the three parts" together. We do not want parts, we want the game. If every year it takes to create an extra set of module (racing, swat ect) then really how long would it take to finish the game? This game isnt suppose to be in parts, its suppose to give the full experience to the user. We are not paying for a CSGO product nor rainbow six nor need for speed. This game is based of a role playing game, not a racing game, not a Swat game.

    I would rather at least experience the full game (even though its buggy) rather than experience in parts (even if its 100% bug free.)

    Okay, but you do want to wait or do you not want to wait. If you think about it, you will be waiting the same amount of time but with nothing to try out along the way. Yes I say in parts, but you will experience the full game in the Beta stage. If you want to wait until the Beta stage then you can choose to wait and not play the modules. 

    The devs only introduced the modules because they didn't want everyone to wait more for the feature complete beta with nothing. You can wait if you want the Beta... Just don't play the modules until Beta is released simple. Just don't moan about waiting if that is what you want rather than to play the modules before it reaches the stage you want.

    I hope the developers are focusing on completing the game, instead of working on modules.

    The Modules are apart of the game. It is literally focusing on the 3 different parts, once they are done, they join them together while adding more to give us the beta, which will be feature complete. But they will continuously adding more to the full game. This way, you get to experience different sections of the game sooner rather than waiting longer for the entire thing. This also helps with testing as the game progresses.
