I Don't know if a question like this has been asked. and i know within identity you can take photos and things to hang up in your house. But a question that's been eating away at me is... Can you be a photographer? and get better cameras than just using your in game phone? and upon this topic, Photography is used in both Modeling, and Artistic photography. and i was wondering, Store clothing and things like that, will we have models and photographers to advertise the new items that have been made, such as clothing and accessories? and how do the clothing stores fully work? is it just an NPC? do you get to customize a shop? Can you craft clothing yourself with a sewing machine? If you could i think being a model for clothing brands would be a really interesting Job, and so would being a photographer? because not only with photography you can do model shots, and leisure shots/artistic shots but if there is a news paper for identity it could open up opportunities there for a photographer for the newspaper... There are so many opportunities there. and i think it would be really cool to implement some stuff like this. if newspapers are a thing, will there also be magazines? could you be a writer? write your own magazine, that people could buy, and read to learn about all the good fashion scoops, and best places to buy furniture, and fun activities to do around the city's? Could we write books? that players could read? and if so would we need to go to a publisher first to sell our books? Soo many questions and ideas have just hit me im sorry hahhahaha

So we know that hugging and kissing may be in the game. Now i am not entirely sure how this would work as it is involving 2 player characters in one conjoined animation. However, my question is that will this open the opportunity for other actions involving 2 players such as shaking hands, fist bumping and other such actions. Would really like to see actions like this where you actually physically interact with another character and not just do the wave action at the same time and try and make it look like a high 5

DEV BLOG #001 Greetings Citizens, It has been just over a year since you helped successfully kick start Identity into existence! We want to thank you all for your continued support by providing you all with regular updates following the development process for Identity. Engaging with our community is one of the best ways we can show our thanks, and a development blog is a perfect opportunity for us to bring you along for the ride. As you’ve seen throughout the past year, there is no game out there that is quite like Identity, and through your support, you have proven to us that Identity is a vision worth turning into a reality! Feedback has shown us that you all really appreciate our attempts to respond to virtually every question we receive on social media. Twitter and Facebook have been a huge boost in exposure for Identity, and so it is time we begin to explore other avenues of exposure to help our community understand a bit more about the game. In the coming months, our fans will see their first glimpse of gameplay for Identity! We are all extremely excited to show off our first gameplay video, which will fully explore the mechanics of apartment and housing customization. With this video, you will see that we have stayed true to our original art direction from the original Kickstarter trailer, while maintaining high standards in realistic lighting and graphics. We can safely say that we have improved many of the areas of our design that needed attention since February last year. Apartment & Housing Customization Apartments and houses within Identity will have a fully customizable interior. You will be able to change the wall paper on every wall in every room, place furniture anywhere there is space on the ground, swap out doors, windows, baseboards, crown moulding, and even wainscoting! We have made no compromise to the level of detail in which you can customize your apartments or homes, in order to truly express your sense of home decor. With this level of control, there is virtually no chance that the interior of two homes will ever look alike. There will be hundreds of furniture items available to purchase in-game in every style and design, from traditional to contemporary. Furniture in Identity can even be crafted, sold, or traded to other players, and those who wish to try their hand at crafting hand-made furniture from a variety of materials can place a crafting table anywhere they wish inside their homes! And if you wish to share your space with a partner, friend, or even a group of friends, homes and apartments will be available for sale throughout the world that support multiple roommates depending the size of the space and how many bedrooms are available. The home-owner may even grant build permissions to any number of roommates, even visitors, to help them decorate their living space. When you are finished, invite your friends over to compliment you on your interior decorating skills! If you’re anything like us, we know you will spend more time cleaning up this virtual home than you do your real one! Radio This week, our team has also placed a lot of our development efforts into building a functioning radio system that will allow you to listen to your favorite real-world radio stations through placed radio objects inside your virtual home, or car! Yes, you can flip through the channels in your car radio, which will also broadcast to the immediate area outside your car. Imagine driving down the street and having everyone you pass know you listen to NSYNC! One other major part of this feature that we are excited to tell you about is player operated talk-shows which you can personally host, or tune-in and listen to, from your car radio or home. The way we currently have this planned out for hosts, is to have actual physical broadcast stations on the map that you can enter as a player and begin hosting your own radio talk-show. Player’s listening from their car or home can browse a list of channels currently being hosted at that very moment, and listen to you live, talking about government conspiracies and UFO’s! We are really hoping that this feature will have a major social impact for Identity. Like you, we see a lot of potential in something like this for budding stars within the community. We would absolutely love to see many of you sprout a career that started in a game we developed, and ended with us listening to your lovely voice on our actual car radio! The Town Square (Social Module) Many of you already know of, and are eagerly anticipating the release of the planned “Town Square” module that is currently still in production. While we can’t give you an exact date on when that will be ready, progress is steady, and we are as excited as you are to meet you all for the first time in a virtual environment. You may already be aware that Identity is largely influenced by a landmass in the south-eastern portion of the United States. The Town Square itself is only a small portion of a larger city built into the final version of Identity called Ash Hill, a reference to Asheville, North Carolina where we had originally planned to move Asylum’s office. We picked this area of the world particularly because it offered a wide range of geographical variance. The transition between Identity’s mix of biomes needed to feel natural, and this area offered most of what we had been looking for. As for the other cities in Identity, their influences may become more clear to you now. Myrtle Beach is obviously Turtle Beach in Identity, and Roseport is less subtle, but a mix between Atlanta and New York City. When we first started, we kept everything, including the structures and world props level to the ground, a mistake we have since corrected. We quickly realized that cities are rarely ever flat, and knew that setting that precedent now would benefit Identity in the future. The next time you see The Town Square module, we are confident that you will notice the difference compared to earlier screenshots, what such a small transformation makes for immersion in a game environment. Moving Forward We want to thank our community for being so patient with us. Over the course of the past year, we’ve seen many work-in-progress screenshots of assets destined for Identity, and while we believe they serve as a sample of the work we have already put into the game, we know that many of you are still anxious to see video. Our current priority is to get things ready to show off, or more specifically, the housing/apartment customization first. We are convinced that many of you will appreciate the time and effort we have put into this feature, so that you will be able to fully express yourself through your character and virtual home. We know we’ve been pretty quiet this past year, and the criticism we’ve heard from our fans on that through social media and the forums have not fallen on deaf ears! We will start to release regular updates through development blogs and continue to find new ways to interact with our community, to show you our gratitude for your support. You yourself can become more involved by contributing to the discussion with your ideas at www.identityrpg.com/community. We’ll see you there, and thank you again! Always remember that we are gamers too and we are as excited as you are to play Identity at launch!

I can't wait for Townsquare so we can finally see how the CC looks like.

I hope so! >-< Too little character screenshots, too many houses and buildings!

GAHH!~ you are a Dime, thank you for this, So much info ahah Im so hopeing this game goes as well as it sounds!! Its intense, i can see this game going 2 ways.. 1. Being popular with a Good community full of interesting and diverse people Or 2. Being a complete fail, With a community of GTA Gansta wanna be twelvies, Gunning down everyone they see (even if weapons are hard to get) There will always be them trollers and annoying Biggots, who are out to annoy and destroy people. and ive already seen some people like that on the forums.. im just worried that people will turn this into another GTA or APB game.. there seems to be alot of diverse content and im hopeing the more social activites dont get neglected due to the sad amount of dis respectful trollers. Seems like this will be a twelvies wet dream coming from GTA or COD, being all like 'DIEEE DIEE DIIEEEEE' Not sure how they will handle the PVP aspect of the game but i hope they make a very good system. i dont wanna die ever 2 seconds just because i walk outside to go buy groceries or something like that.....

I have just started up a YouTube channel called Tritania AKA (Razza229) and I need help making it better and having more viewers to my content as I will be recording gameplay of Identity once it has been released! if you could simply Subscribe, share, like or comment it would be a huge help. Thankyou LINK IS HERE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQeT6yQ-MHHEtSj0x5xDR9Q

Hey there mate !!!!

And that's why you will have no clue where these races take place

I'm going to rise through the ranks and become chief of police. I cannot wait to clean the streets of the scum who aim to ruin lives!

I want to look like an episode 1 Rick Grimes, I'll be the best cop around.

You need an introduction and commentary not just music in the background if you want more sub's. Make better videos.

Hopefully so mind blowing, that you can make your character look like virtually anyone..... until it glitches.

I know that, but the Devs have also repeatedly said they don't want to enable players to grief others with this and other features. Regardless, i'm stoked that it's confirmed.

I Totally understand, and i guess if some form of offensive materials are written in the book, They could have a Report system where you can report it, and maybe one of the Devs or GM's could look at it and make judgement of wether or not it is wrong to have this content in it. And one thing id like to have, is a diary or something where i can write down some things that i have seen, and if its something that effects my character in a negative way or something i could write about her how it effect her, and about her psychological state.. Id do this because like.. i think it would be interesting if i lost or miss placed my diary and if some random decided to read it or something.. it would give some realisim to it or i dunnoo!~

* batman theme song nanananana* Vixie to the... twitter! About photography: So yeah, it's in the plans and you'll be able to frame them. I'd therefore think it'd be possible to also sell them in an art gallery or a furniture store. About writing: So that's a "maybe". It'll definitely be in the game at one point but we don't know if on launch or after it. However, Identity plans to make in-game internet with secret websites and I'd assume you can make your own website or will have your own website, so you could post stories there... But I don't think you'd get paid for it.

if celebrities were ever a thing!~ id be a photographer/paparazzi ahah!~ Could even sneak into criminal businesses, take a few snaps shots of all the criminal activity then haul it all off to the police!~ i will probably Die in the process!~ But hey i gotta get a perfect shot of them criminals in action!~ Will write a magazine about 'Catching Crime Just in time' talking about the latest criminal acts around town. and snoop out the locations that all this goes down!~ ahaha id be like... an annoying reporter only.. i write about it in magazines that no one will read... T-T UUUUHH Damn might as well stay at home in the trailer, and paint away like the sad old woman i am..

Really like the idea of photography

I think that loft style will be very popular among the "capital city" apartment owners. There are already some pictures presenting it, but here's a little bit more:

It would be very hard to realize such a character creation system (great but still hard). Lets just stick to the sliders and stuff and hope that developers will make it right, but nobody knows exactly how it will look like. Maybe they will invent something revolutionary and mind blowing...

Ahh right i see. Still in the wrong section i guess then

@Herzog The New World Order = The Illuminati

G'dayy! I also like to drop some beats Anyway if you need anything don't be afraid to ask haha.

Only hairstyle I want is... GIVE ME PURPLE HAIR DYE! Gonna make my character dress a bit like me- black clothes, heavy sharp eyeliner, purple or dark lipstick and PURRRRRRRRRRRRPLE HAAAAAAAAIR! *vixie's half-face reveal*

HELLO identity brothers... We need to publish identity everywhere we need to make the people to know about. our community is above 6000 members and we need to publish the game in twitter , facebook, youtube everywhere, we need to establish fan bases in social network. LETS WORK TOGETHER. on every video on youtube just write in comment section about identity and put the twitter account and the website url and u made ur job, LETS UNITE TO MAKE IDENTITY BIGGER,STRONGER,POPULAR THAN EVER LETS MARCH

Yes. Let's go on everyone's YouTube video and spam it with a website link

I love architecture as well, and would love to see some rustic houses! They kind of remind of mountain houses, and I think they would look really cool if these styles of houses would appear in the mountain area of Identity Island!

Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?

Everything that is unique will be server bonded. So things like apartments, clothes, pets, cars, crimes etc will most likely be servers-wide, character appearance and stats included. Buildings- no. Buildings can have 1 owner at a time on a single server.

If you own anything in a official server say "server #1" and then say go on "server #2" of the official servers, all your things will carry over with every official server, so there is no worries there but if you are wanted for murder on 1 official server then you will be wanted on all official servers! Also the only thing is the community servers the money you make on them will not carry over to any other server. If I have answered your question or have been helpful please leave a like!

i would say it would be like fallout 4 where u can change it and morph it to your likeing

Oh I totally agree with you.... just kidding get out. and learn to english.

This is autistic.

National Identity Symphony Orchestra (NISO) → that would be epic!
