[Jakeimpregnator 20]

This is information ive thrown together in the last hour or so by watching some interviews with the developers. 
There may  be some spelling and format mistakes but everything discussed was sourced directly from the developers mouths. 
Hope you like it  


Cars
- ‘very, very detailed mechanics’.
- Currently, mainly working on social development so cars aren’t such a focus but test vehicles are functional.
- Very realistic car physics, aiming for absolute realism.
- Inside vehicles you can control turn signals, put on seatbelts, roll windows down, radio. Everything intractable as you’d expect in a real car.
- Some vehicles have manual transmission.
- Kidnapping – there is a trunk inventory but theres is no way to put someone inside a trunk yet. 
- You can restrain people and put them in your car/van, not trunk yet.
- There are differences between 4x4 and 2 wheel drive, which are physically accurate.
- The 4x4 cars can be manually switched to 2 wheel drive.
- Different types of tyres have different traction depending on terrain -Snow / mud / grass
- Crashing – depends on severity you will have to change your wheels on the side of the road or get the car towed if the engine is broke.
- Spare tyres come with new cars.
- There are repair garages in most towns
- You will have to pay to get cars fixed.
Will there be parking?
- You can park your cars in private or public garages.
- If you don’t use proper spaces in the street your car can get towed autonomously or by other players.
- You must have a driver’s licence you must have before you can drive.

RDM – stress system
- If you’re being robbed at gunpoint randomly, you are not instantly vulnerable. A gunshot will not hurt much.
Depending on your actions after….
Your stress level will rise and you will become vulnerable
Surrender- stress levels will drop but your cash can be taken.
Running - rises stress and you become vulnerable, you can get shot and killed.
- If you go unconscious you can be revived within a time frame, your cash is lootable.
- If you die, people can loot your weapons.
- Clothing cannot be looted from players.

Police, Fire and EMS recruitment -
Official servers –
you will have to do a short test to get into the department.
Cops can’t have big criminal records
- There will be an automated test
- Private servers can pick who’s most qualified.
Fire department – You will have to sign in at the hall have access to all gear and vehicles. You will then be called out to fires.
If you crash your car into a tree can catch on fire. House fires can start randomly on NPC buildings.

Prison is like a game in its self
Jail –You go to jail for smaller crimes like petty theft or speeding tickets for a few minutes.
Prison – Participating in another level of gameplay where you can join gangs, fight for territory or hang out in the rek room and chat to people.
Wrongly arrested – lawyers can argue in front of a jury on your behalf.  

Animals
You can have dogs and cats inside your house as pets.
In the future, they want to allow animals to follow you, walk your dog / hunting with you.
There are bears, deer and critters for hunting. You can then use leather and other resources to craft items.

Clothing
- Clothing does not currently get dirty but it would be something to look at.
- There are recipes like blueprints for clothing. ‘Cuts’ determine the shape.
- You can control patterns and colours.
- Millions of combinations.
- You can open a store and sell all your clothing.


Drug lab / meth RV.
A civilian RV vehicle can be converted into a drugs lab once you have found a location that is safe. Once you park the RV, you can deploy the meth lab. You will not be able to move the vehicle.

Can you live completely off the radar?
Yes you can live entirely off the land. You will have to find storage, chop trees, find shelter, gather water, and hunt animals. You do not need to enter a city or town in order to survive.

Malls / social gathering places / safe zones are protected with metal detectors that will confiscate weapons.
Cellphones can capture photos.

Character customisation.
- Head options are more than just a base face configuration. Different races have different head shapes and body features.
From that pint you can manipulate the base face.
Then you can edit complexion / eyes etc…
- Tattoos are found In game, not in character customisation.
Shanking people in prison will unlock relevant tattoos etc…
- Makeup can be changed quite easily at any time.
- There are hair physics on long hair and clothing with wind and movement.

I hope at least one person gets something from this. Please leave comments and feedback. Cheers x
