Yeah, just what I was thinking. The TV station idea may not be plausible but maybe I guess you could use Twitch as your station as they have showcased people watching Twitch on the TV's in houses and stuff?

Damn Marco, good strategy, gotta keep your business tactics aggressive.

It will be when you are on the server, you will have to apply for a Cop position You don't pick cop when you pick your character, you will only be able to choose what he looks like.

Welcome Release date for town square should be out soon so have a nice time and maybe we will meet

Precisely, the only thing that may need to be decided is how people become police on these official servers. Having mods may be nice but if they abuse and it gets out it reflects badly on the game as a whole. Maybe you should be a mod LuckyDuck , Just don't abuse

The devs said that it would be too hard for PC's to load everyone's apartment as they walk past, so you are in a separate instance, like LuckyDuck said

If the detective is a job, I think that there could be fingerprints and the possibility for stuff to perhaps go wrong? It isn't confirmed tho Really cool idea though

I think that would be pretty advanced, so I doubt it. There will most probably be mechanic jobs, but not sure, as it there may be AI to get your car fixed and to buy cars from, so not sure what place a mechanic may have in the game. They could have stats like repairing cars faster or something similar?

Game studios are very reluctant to add children to games, and unfortunately, I really don't think it will be added to Identity. Obviously you most of us are normal, but there are some odd people out there who would do some unpleasant things, so they don't add children AI to most games, and even in games you can add them, you can't harm/kill them. As for the other jobs, they sound like really good ideas and I think they are planned already thankfully so you should see them coming later on in the game.

Nah but someone might just straight up shoot you in the head haha

These sound about right, but since it is a first module coming out it may be a bit harder as it could be the case that is isn't fully optimised, to begin with. Hopefully it will be all good though

I love how people are already making so many groups and discord servers, and even emails in preparation. Shows how amazing the community is going to be when it comes out Looks like you are always gonna see new, unique things

I guess in the server there would have to be some sort of legal system where someone deems if using the other is just or not. Otherwise, I can't see it happening, as it is very hard to prove you stole their idea and didn't just come up with the same idea. I guess like if you copied someone's painting and sold exact copies you could try and sue? I doubt you could sue for much though, as money looks like it will be tight, which is nice as it seems realistic.

Reddit is one of the most popular sites out there, and no doubt a lot of people who think about pledging to Identity could be a bit scared as it is an "early access" game at the moment, and many have had bad experiences with them. It seems however if people check the identity page on Reddit, just scrolling down there is mainly post after post about people claiming this game is a scam, and it will never come out, which could harm the game's reputation and make people not pledge, which is only hurting the Dev's and their resources to make the game come out as polished, and fast as possible. I, along with most of us who go on this forum here regularly, whether to just lurk and read (like me) or to ask questions about Identity honestly believe this game is 100%, not a scam, or "another DayZ" or No Mans Sky. With the release date coming out, all the dev streams, all the contact we have had with the devs, it seems like a lot of hard work has gone into this game, and it is such a shame seeing its reputation ruined by people who probably have not even bothered trying to message the devs on the website to ask. In the past week, it has gotten a lot better due to the devs being really good and giving us a lot of information, and even an office tour (link below). So, as a community, why don't we try and clean up the Sub-Reddit, and make it a much more pro-Identity place than the mess it really is at the moment. The Reddit's link is https://www.reddit.com/r/IdentityMMO/ I'm sure if we show the positivity of the community, people will be much more willing to help out the devs and the game will grow a lot more, so there is a larger, thriving community for when Town Square comes out. Reddit is such a large site that many people may check there to see about the game before even checking the actual forums on the website so we need to make sure it isn't filled with just negative comments about the game and is more like what these forums are like. I have started by making a post trying to put out the facts to convince people the game isn't a scam at; Identity Team Office Tour Video: https://t.co/Nq4zb7OxIO

Personally, I think this forum is pretty nice. The majority of people are very supportive and nice, and really helpful However, I understand what you are saying, especially about other forums such as Reddit, which is why I made the post as its something that really does need change.

Last I remember they said Identity would be quite hard to run, but you have to remember that these big games Switch has are mainly single player games, the only large-scale MMO's these types of console have are very small and easy to run, usually only for switch as they are built for them and not for PC.

Identity will probably be hard to run on even decent PC's, I am sure it would never be able to run on a switch.

When I made it, I thought that that fact they bought an office with all this equipment would perhaps be proof it wasn't a scam, but I get your point As to making a new subreddit, the current ones have 1k+ Subs, and some people may judge how big the game is off the subscribers to the Sub-Reddit. It may be a good idea, however! It would be up to the devs to make a new one, as they are of course the ones who have to be in charge.

Cool, hopefully, all the proof that has been coming out recently will silence the people spreading bad info about the game, claiming it is another "DayZ"

I do not believe so. Yes, it has been unfortunate that the community did not get too much proof of the game early on, and that really discouraged lots of people into spreading false/bad news about the game. It was delayed a lot, but personally, I would much rather a polished, good game, or even a reasonably playable first module (which I am super hyped for) than a buggy mess that it may have been if they rushed it due to pressure from the community. I am sure the devs will deliver an amazing game, we just have to wait.

If you have questions, not on the dev blog, you could always try asking on the dev streams, I find them to be really useful. Or you could always try PM'ing a dev/mod, they're really cool about these things and I'm sure they will answer it best they can

Same here, always been waiting for a game like this but no promising standalone one has come out until now

Yeah, really excited. I have been waiting a while but knew that eventually, it would come out. Must have been hard for such a small dev team, but I honestly think we will all be happy with what comes out.
