So when the game comes out there obviously will be Movie making, and I plan to make movies and shows. For example I plan on making a show about detectives solving murders, robberies, kidnappings, etc. My question is are any of you willing to be a part of it?

Since there will be streaming in game, you could do some kind of live reality show as well, like COPS

Haha yes! I'm also pretty sure there will be cameras so I will make shows like law and order maybe. The possibilities of it all is amazing.

What about a documentary with my investigation services! I'll contact you if there is an entertaining case one day. B|

Do you have a source for this? I've not heard anything about it, but that would be pretty epic if it was a feature.

No I do not have a source but I'm assuming asylum would make it because they are tying to make everything interactive and realistic.

Hello FireRealm8113,

Identity will feature the ability to broadcast your voice on the in-game radio, but there’s no mechanic currently planned that would allow you to record footage for a television show. You’ll be able to take pictures with your phone, but won’t be able to record video. Here’s a segment from a previous stream where the Art Director talks a bit about the camera feature:

And below are two clips of the CEO discussing the ability to host your own radio show:

That being said, we are still looking to include both YouTube and Twitch support sometime in the future. While these features won’t be available at Town Square’s launch, you may be able to satisfy that itch for a TV series once they’re introduced.

For example, you could record Identity gameplay through the use of your preferred recording software, and edit together a video to post on YouTube. You could then gather friends to watch your series together from within Identity. The full game of Identity will include special private theatres where you can watch YouTube videos with players of your choosing. Players in the Town Square Module will eventually be able to watch such content on TVs. I’ll link a clip of the Art Director discussing private theatres, and one where the CEO and Art Director specifically discuss Twitch integration:

And for further reference, here are two clips of the CEO discussing the use of public TVs:

If you are new to recording gameplay footage, I highly recommend you try to use the capture software provided by your GPU manufacturer (Radeon ReLive for AMD GPUs and Nvidia Shadowplay for Nvidia GPUs). Open Broadcast Software is also another good free alternative.

Lastly, the topic of wanting sets for certain RP scenarios, particularly a newsroom, did arise in one of our previous streams. I’ll link the clip highlighting the discussion below with the Art Director if you’d interested:

Environment (Will there be TV Studios/Newsrooms you could RP in? ft. Radio info)

In summary, Identity won't have a built in mechanic that will allow you to record + host television shows. You can, however, take advantage of the in-game streaming services (watching YouTube on TVs for example) to reach a similar end result. These services won’t be included at Town Square’s launch, but the developers will try to integrate them as soon as they can.
