First of all let me start by saying that this is, in no way, an attempt to start any kind of flame war, or to attack Asylum. I represent a genuine group of concerned investors who, for whatever reason, decided to back this enterprise. Over the last few months people have been posting about Motown/Paratus being scammers, about how we should 'do our research' etc etc. Well we did our research BEFORE we invested and I want to make it clear that these posters have quite clearly NOT done any research of their own. All the controversy surrounding Arma3 mods did NOT involve Altis Life, Motown or Paratus. So those are not our concerns. We invested in Identity simply because we shared their vision, but now we would like an answer. Before I ask the obvious question, I want to make something else clear, we do NOT want an answer from a 'fan' or a moderator, we want to hear from the Devs. The question is this: Is Identity still in development, and if so, what is it's status as of today? If, like us, you are a concerned investor in this project, then please sign this petition for a reply & maybe we can see an end to the constant posting of this same dam question over and over again.

With all the recent families sprouting up and making a name for themselves I want to say to them, I hope your endeavors are fruitful. But please keep family violence to a minimum. We've already gotten family feuds going on already so anymore we'll kill ourselves. Let's keep it clean boys ya know?

worst thing would be if the identity servers would be full of rdm and vdm players like sometimes the asylum altis life ones.

Hello and Welcome to the Identity community! Great to have you join us here in the wait and please use the FAQ and search bar to find answers that you need. If you need to just quote me and I will reply to your questions. 2 FAQ links in my signature at the bottom of all my posts, so please read them both and then search if there is a question not answered there already.

It would be awesome if we have a blizzard some day and the streets will be covered with snow and the locomotion will be laborious.

True

Interesting.

Hello everyone! First, I have to say that I like this community and some people have some good realistic ideas. Second, some people seem to not know what have actually been confirme by the devs so, I found some good vídeos of the subject, I recomend seeing it before asking some of the questions that some people ask. There are like 90 very short vídeos explaning everything what has been said, not so as opinion vídeos. Good day everyone!

Yeh these have been made by one of the members on the forums. Very good videos

And I think no real TV channels will be in the game obviously... The costs would be VERY high...

I think that a intranet has already been talked about. So deep costumization of everything I think it's not needed so the more important things are done.

They could do that but from my understanding they don't want to say hey this or this has happened. They don't want to say it because if they say it but then change that or something else they will be called scammers. If it isn't 100% going to happen they wont post it.

I understand that, but I do think that they have 10 minutes once a month to post a quick dev update. Just something, even if it was just a quick jot note list

It has been stated that, all weapons will be visible while on a player. That they can't be concealed. I'm sure this aspect ill follow over to other items. I mean if it's like your keys or phone, you'd expect that be in a pocket though.

Ohhh boi when James starts to change sides you know shit goin down

Hey guys, thanks for your concerns. Identity is absolutely still in active development, but we understand these concerns have a tendency to grow within the community each time we have become quieter than usual. We're a small team with limited resources so we spend a lot of that time focusing on development tasks. Development is our first love, and none of us are really experts at marketing or Public Relations. We definitely owe our fans a lot more attention than we've given, and admittedly, our PR game has been pretty poor. Until we get that sorted, you can actively find Paratus and I on the unofficial, fan Discord server. Message us anytime for any reason! I'm always around and available for a chat about anything you'd like to talk about. Paratus doesn't seem to check his messages quite as often, and the others don't seem to be very chatty on social networks, but we've extended invites to them for when they do decide to eventually join us. It's important to know that most game projects spend a few years in development before they are announced to the world. That gives them the added benefit of working without pressure from their communities. But Identity was announced when development started, so we've always struggled with knowing when to prioritize marketing over development being a small team, especially myself being both the Community Manager and a 3D artist on the project. It's been a challenge for me to switch between modes, and I regret that I haven't been very effective at it. As a quick progress update. Last week, on the art side, we finished up all of the remaining face sculpts, complete with textures and shaders, that you have seen us posting periodically on Twitter, and those, along with about 50 pieces of clothing (we still need so much more) are currently undergoing rigging. And on the programming side, we completed the karaoke feature, which we will test on Monday. I myself am working on 3d modeling a one bedroom apartment, as well as a hotel bedroom. These things will all be featured in the Town Square module as well as the completed game! Thank you again for all of your support, and I hope this provides a sliver of the information you guys have been craving to hear about!

First off, I am not paid at all to moderate the forums. I do it voluntarily. Secondly, map designing isn't as easy as you make sound, same goes with models. They are working to make this game very realistic so they don't half ass their models; they put intricate details which you can see in the pictures shown. Not only do they need to make the model itself, but texturing it is very complex. They do this thing call unwrapping which lays out every side, corner and so on to where they then add textures making sure it fits perfectly on the model and there are no design errors on the finish product. So for the Town Square, all the objects shown in the picture take time and since they didn't show anymore than that it is either stuff still a work in progress or they aren't ready to reveal it yet. Everything on Twitter is planned, so if it isn't in the game it was just a decision changed before modules, beta and release. Many things come and go while games are in development. You shouldn't have had hopes that the game would be done March 2015 because they never game that early of a date, they stated different dates this year, but Motown has already said things have been delayed and he shouldn't have given such a ambitious date for the game. That's why we still haven't gotten release dates for anything because they are still very unsure about when it will be finished so they don't want to give a date and have to delay it again.

And at this point identity is sitting at almost 220k

as long as it's not extremely laggy i'm good.
