54 minutes ago, Genesai said:The fact that is has to take more than 11 days now to fix the tracker .... says enough about Asylum's professionalism. This takes ONE day at most if you put your guy on it. The site was finished months before it launched, yet it has so many issues I can't count them on both my hands.
What is the issue? It's not like you need to order replacement parts from mainland China. No, you need to fix code. You can do that from home, and shouldn't take nearly two weeks. Whoever made the website, can come join classes with me. Perhaps he/she will learn how to manage errors properly, and most certainly at a decent pace. Don't make me open the source code and fix it for you. But I will ... if you'd pay me back the $250 (+2x $5) I invested in this development so far, I'd actually do something useful for you guys and fix the mess you cannot seem to get fixed.
Asylum Entertainment and professional behavior are two terms you won't find near each other in the dictionary.EDIT: Still no dev blog as well btw. Says enough.
Tracker is not a priority to the bug fixing as it isn't moving visually when updated. The bugs on the shop are more important than to have the tracker just show it is up to date even with no visual change. However, the bugs were not there before the site was made live and so as far as they could tell it was ready with no bugs.

There is a visual bug which is saying it is cheaper when it is not.

Surely a large draw to earning money is to deck out your pad etc? I guess there are clothes and cars, but I would have thought earning your way to a pimp house would be one of the draws for many?
Yes, everything is free in the Modules up until Beta which is after all 3 modules.

2 hours ago, wiebley said:You wont be able to get jobs in game (as far as I am aware) for a very long time - happy to be proved wrong, but when they release this game (if it does get released) I think there will be a problem with cash flow... Once you have spent any starting money you have... I don't believe there is any way to get any more money unless you use real world money to purchase it?
~Does anyone else know of ways to earn money in Module 1? All I can see is that it's a glorified chatroom with a hint of the sims thrown in for apartment customisation?
I didn't mean in the modules, I meant the full game. Sorry for the confusion.
@Norway174 Yes, everyone with out an apartment in their pledge will get a basic apartment to play around with but if you have a pledge apartment then you will get to play with your one instead.

2 hours ago, quentiam said:That being said, the game isn't even released yet. It's still in development.. And i just took a look at the shop. There are cosmetics being sold before the game has even released? Really? You're gonna make us pay real money.. upwards of 100 dollars.. for a house? There should be in-game jobs and in-game currency. We should be able to work for these things. That is the whole point of games like these. Rewards!
Apartments are not houses for starters. Also everything in the shop are available in game but will have a different layout. There is a in-game currency and jobs in game.

if i cant buy a pet ingame with ingame cash im going to be livid.
You can get everything in the game but just not these specific aesthetics of items.

They do tell us, and Well it has been stated many times by me on posts like this. Maybe the search function is a good idea for people as it takes little time to find a answer compared to waiting for 1. There was a database bug causing crashes/ delaying moving forward. When one bug gets fixed, it also can create many more bugs, small or big. That is how development is and that is why the task is taking longer than need be. Issues, arise and issues get fixed, but more always creep up.

Moderator not a developer.
Also please read up on what the first module is about.... https://www.identityrpg.com/modules/townsquare This is the first thing you should have done really as a step towards finding out what comes with the development.

2 hours ago, Guardian78 said:That seems like it would be a pretty big issue. If I already own the package/item that means I can't gift my friends a package to join me in the game.
Which also means I can't gift packages to my viewers on Twitch during giveaways since I already own the package.
Hey, if you want to gift a package already, please PM @Beach_Ball directly and he can sort it out for you, but in the future you must gift as you purchase but if need be, beach can amend/ give the package manually.

16 hours ago, Guardian78 said:Ah, I see that now, I thought they were just on sale, nvm on that then.
The gift thing I see but you still can't gift basic packages. Since I already bought a package, it doesn't let you add a package you already own to your cart to gift it to other players. Also Giftcards aren't a thing yet, would be cool to be able to gift people digital giftcards so they can add funds to their account and pick what they want to buy themselves.
You must gift the package as you purchase it, you can't gift items already in your inventory.

On 18/08/2018 at 3:33 AM, Shorty said:1. Just release the module in it's current state, as long as it's playable no one is expecting a masterpiece for a pre-alpha build I understand you want to make it perfect so everyone get's hyped about how perfect it is and therefore donate more money but your constant delays are causing all your current fans to turn on you. I know based of everything that's happened so far I can't possibly recommend this game to any of my friends due to the fact we're virtually kept in the dark of progress.
1. The very first part is the worst idea and is what the big game companies set as the standard for games. Second not pre-alpha but alpha build. No one has stated that it will be perfect on the release of the module, however the biggest feature is the feature they are working on and is a must for them to complete before they release the module. There are no more constant delays, there were only 2 delays and so how is it constantly getting delayed? If there was a date then it could be delayed but there is a task tracker instead and so no delay is possible.
On 18/08/2018 at 3:33 AM, Shorty said:2. Take a holiday. Literally shut the entire office down for at least a week and head off some where to stop thinking about all the complaints and instead focus on what you decided to create this game in the first place and how you envisioned it. When you come back have a meeting about you can most effectively reach your vision. To me (As previously stated, not a developer) that means you need to focus on the coding of the game and less on all the assets. Don't get me wrong the game looks great, way way better than what I was expecting, but what's the point if you don't have any gameplay.
2. 3D artist are not Coders/ programmers. Why should the 3D artists sit idle while we all wait for the programmers to complete the task. Them doing nothing is th worst idea ever IMO because if they create more assets while we wait, in the long run there will be less assets needed to make for the game.
On 18/08/2018 at 3:33 AM, Shorty said:4. Reevaluate your priorities. Currently people who have already pledged are mad, and they're your literal source of income. The community should be your number one priority, even more so than the actual development of the game. A happier community will lead to a larger community, a larger community will lead to more funding to the game and more funding will mean more room for developers and bam, by focusing on the community you've also improved development.
Yes, but that means a slower development speed and slower means that the community will still get mad. People find reasons to just complain really which is sad.
On 18/08/2018 at 3:33 AM, Shorty said:5. Acknowledge your mistakes, but more importantly actually learn from them. I understand that a game of this size is no easy task otherwise I'd have been down before but whenever someone makes a complaint on this forum they get attacked for doing so and then almost completely ignored, 99% of people here and complaining because they want this game and they're getting frustrated because they're not being herd and left in the dark. Respond to them if even with a generic message "We understand you're upset and we can definitely do better we plan on doing this so "complaint" isn't a issue anymore." or "We're currently working that issue by doing this"
They have said in the past about there mistakes. Also, they do get a response but because there is a reasonable answer in the response, they decide to complain more anyways.
I will pass this post onwards

43 minutes ago, Masa said:4 years we waiting
2015 - 2018 = what 4 years? Strange because 15 + 3 = 18.
Look, you need to read your post before posting it, because well you either are bad at maths or miss typing. It will be 4 years at the end of January 2019.
46 minutes ago, Masa said:On top of that they putting 0 effort to even release
Actually they are putting all the effort in but the task is being worked on and they are making progress but they have came across multiple bugs which had to be fixed before they could continue the task. They are also entitled to a day off, Saturday and Sunday are not a working day for them. They do overtime also but there is only so much a programmer can do in a day. We may not see the tracker visually changed but that doesn't mean the devs are idle.

23 minutes ago, mrBR0ster said:I have read a lot of news about the Town Square Module and I admit it, I am pretty psyched about the beta to this! But I am still a little confused about how it would be like. Would the module be like a full blown role play game mode where you can obtain guns and rob places, get a job, and go out with friends to per say "party" similar to Arma III's "Atlas Life," or would it be just a little town square where you buy or rent apartments and just talk with other people in game like "GMod Tower's" game lobby until the full release of Identity?
Sorry if this has been said before, I am just still confused about the information online I have been reading where you can live the life of crime (maybe in the full game), or is it just going to be a place to hang and meet new people until the full release of Identity.
Thank you so much!!
~BR0https://www.identityrpg.com/modules/townsquare
The Town Square Module, is not a Beta. It is a small standalone piece of the full Game. It is known as the Social Module. You can do only social sort of things, including apartment customisation, karaoke, painting, writing/ reading books, character customisation. There will be frequent updates.
Beta is after all 3 modules.

6 minutes ago, RenegadeNine said:It's all well and good saying this but there's absolutely 0 to show for this. Give us more gameplay or something, anything that shows that progress is being made.
It is 1 task, which they are trying to finish and have working correctly. They can't exactly show progress on this one task. Also there has been 2 streams of Town Square already, if you get more, then whats there to look forward to?

On 15/08/2018 at 7:53 PM, Frostybeans said:Wouldnt this also be considered false information than? if they say 2016 but dont mean it....
No, because for starters, they can't make the date more than 2 years as a expected release date on kickstarter. It only allows 2 years and so it was not there fault on that. Also Kickstarter states that projects may take longer than the expected time, which in most cases always happen.
On 15/08/2018 at 7:53 PM, Frostybeans said:also they have mentioned before they wanted full beta release in 2018.
They? as in the moderators? Hairy is a Moderator not a dev and he mentioned it could be but it was delayed and so The full Beta won't be this year. We have 3 modules to get through first.
22 hours ago, Kattycake said:But I want 3500 different couches, lamps, and dresses plus shoes.
Whats the point you are making? Them doing lots of models don't slow down programming and so it's a good thing they continue doing more models because then they won't need to later on.

Just now, RenegadeNine said:Give me a break, even if the tracker was working there would be no difference because there's nothing to update!
You pretty much complained about something, get an answer which is truthful as all the bugs/ errors since the new site launched and then you try rectify something again to complain more.
Also it may sit idle visually but they are making progress as little as it may be and how long it is taking.

Just now, patrick68794 said:Started with 20, ended with 50. They only had 14 months of development time total
Well, the 1st year for Asylum, there was only 3 devs. They have grown to roughly mid - low 20's now. However they have redone the Town Square 3 times already. some of the very first devs they hired were fired. A lot of them were freelancers and so they only did specific tasks while also working on multiple projects at the same time.

35 minutes ago, kareem said:It doesn't matter how long it takes to create a game. It just matters that the developers follow through with their promises at least by the 3rd or 4th release date they announce.
Well that is good because then they are fine as there was only 2 release dates.
1 hour ago, Hammo00 said:Yes, we know you work hard, yes we appriciate what you are doing, but it has been 3 years. And you guys gave us dates, and you guys gaves us trackers. Instead you guys should have gone into the darkness and work on it, not like this as you promised transparancy, and being honest and open to us. And you guys are none of those right now. I hope you guys are going to give us the best module there is, but do remember, if it is not great at all, people will get even more pissed and I wouldnt be suprised of people in the states start a court case against you guys to get their, and maybe also our money back.
Remember the 1st Module is only the Social Module and a lot of people should know that it won't contain too much.

1 hour ago, Dazerbake said:Why do we not get responses from the Devs or moderates? Why is the tracker not been updated? Its nearly the end of the week outmr we not going to see a change until next week or something this is so unprofessional. What's going on
The tracker is broken right now as most other parts of the site is buggy still but is being fixed.

Just now, YouGotGot said:That task has been moving along slowly for quite a while now. With what we've seen, I don't think the module will be released this year.
there was a bug which caused a database issue and which was the cause for some of slow speed on the last task, however they have fixed that issue and now moving forward with the last task.
-
12 minutes ago, YouGotGot said:Now you're just talking out of your ass again man. If Asylum actually had enough content to be released, they would have done so already. It's been three years. Asylum isn't breaking anything, they just don't have enough to release. I guarantee there will still be tons of bugs the town module is eventually released, and that's when they will adopt the "release now, fix later" tactic.
There will be bugs always but it is the last task which they are focusing on and when they fix something it creates more bugs. The task is moving along slowly but we will see it completed.
Also that saying I mentioned, is more about something like Sea Of Thieves has done. they said it was the full game but really it was released with enough content for it to be only a Beta release and not the full game.

Anyone know when the blog should cost ?????????
Not sure.
5 minutes ago, YouGotGot said:I think it's most people's dream game. My point is, everytime someone brings up the pink elephant in the room, they are shunned for not being patient enough. It's been three god damn years, I want to see something happen. A closed alpha. I don't give a shit that all you can do is play chess, walk into a bike store, and sing karaoke. That would give me enough to last like a week. How about release the fucking game, and do small weekly updates so we see progress being made.
Yes, you are one of the people who have waited the longest time for this. I do agree but one thing is that Every company is using the "Release now, fix later" type of excuse just to make more money. Asylum is breaking that and trying to set the better standards in which was broken by big money companies.

1 minute ago, YouGotGot said:Alright, how easy would it be to get a refund for something you donated to three years ago? Not that simple. Knowing that there are not many people getting refunds.
It's hard for you because the kickstarter that you pledged on was in CAD and the exchange rate from USD - CAD has changed since then and so it causes too many problems really IMO. However you can try by PM'ing BeachBall about it while mentioning you are a kickstarter backer. You seem to have been patient for this long time but now giving up? IMO giving up now is not worth it for me as I too have waited for my dream game which I would rather keep supporting them and wait until it releases.

Just now, YouGotGot said:If they were really using the funds to their full potential, there would be a lot more content than there is now. They've actually received $1.3 mil in funding, and I'm certain they still have a large chunk of that still. How easy is it to get a refund btw? Calling up a company asking for a refund for a game you thought you bought three years ago isn't really all that simple.
You didn't buy the game on kickstarter if you mean that. You pledged / donated to a future game you wanted to help with.

There was always an Ocean to be in the game. You would also know that they have mentioned "Scuba Diving, Treasure Hunting, Yachts, Fishing, under water caves, ship wrecks. There are no "Missions" nor is a diver a profession. A diver is not a paid thing.
