All that time on your hands yet you couldn't even find the search function, a-fucking-mazing.

*Two of Frank's soldiers are in the restaurant and come out from the backroom. They were collecting protection money and about to grab some pastries when they notice Henry being hit by the old woman.* "Who da fuck are you." The wise guy with a heavy east coast accent said. *The black guys come in looking for Henry. They have baggy pants and look like they are from the ghetto.* "What the fuck do you mulignan spooks want, cannoli or something?"

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.

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!

Paulie Napolitano was born in New York City to a blue-collar Italian family. From an early age Paulie was interested in the mob life, mainly due to his uncle's position as a soldier in the Gambino Crime Family. Paulie was a pretty quiet kid, never really got picked on, but was no bully himself. One day sitting outside his house with his friends, Paulie witnessed his first murder. A group of black teens were walking down the street when a car full of mobsters pulled from around the corner, and started shooting at them with a handgun. One immediately dropped to the ground, and the rest ran away. The car sped by and so did Paulie and his friends. That was a day Paulie would never forget. Once he was in high school, Paulie became involved in the mob, specifically the Gambino Family, just like his uncle. And by the time he turned 25, he was a made man. During this time, a rival mobster walked into a deli run by the Gambino's and shot every one he could. Within seconds a Gambino Capo pulled out a pistol and shot him dead. He wasn't the only victim, Paulie was shot in the chest and was facing critical injuries. Paulie was immediately taken to the hospital and was treated for his wound. He was released from the hospital and returned to his normal life. Over the next few days he found out that the Gambino's falsely accused him of being a rat and were planning to kill him. Later that day he overheard people talking about this place called Roseport. A new city on an island thriving, and it turned out tons of Italians are immigrating there. So looking for a haven, he packed his bags and went to Roseport. He moved into a small apartment in Little Italy and was looking for people to meet. One day he decided to try this Italian place out. Once seated he noticed this tall, pretty intimidating man sitting next to him. He decided to strike-up a conversation with him and exchanged life stories. Turns out the guy's name was Frank Luprano and was looking to start a crime family in the city. Paulie was ecstatic and immediately discussed his interest. Frank and Paulie then started to get involved in drugs, illegal weapon smuggling, extortion, etc. Once gaining a fairly large following, they decided to create the family. Frank offered Paulie the position of Underboss and he quickly accepted. That's where the Luprano Family began. Name: Paulie Napolitano Age: 35-40 Residence: Roseport

Mein Kompf. The strongest piece of literature for the white male or anybody that thinks the way they do. 'My Fight' written and published by Adolf Hitler in 1925. A good 15 years before the start of World War 2. It just goes to show that power is already destined for those who crave it most. My story begins in February of 1979. I was born in Los Angelas, California to my mother, father and sister Sarah. Growing up in a community mostly dominated by blacks wasn't the easiest thing to overcome. But as you get older you form your opinions on other people's thoughts and outlooks on life. For me it was my grandfather who fought in World War 2 in The Third Reich. And I read his journal everyday for 6 years until I decided to form my own opinions and stop following others. And that was my first real move into what I became. I became a man who killed black people because of the way they looked. Killed Mexicans because of the way they smelled. Harassed Jews because of the stereotypes brought on by them. In around 1991 my friend Hanshi and I started up a new era of an already dying breed. A gang of white men who wanted to rebel to regain control of the future. Tri City Skins. Killing any and all colored people because of what we were taught and what we had seen. Suburban America can kiss my ass because we were the ones who struggled with our identities. Not what dress we're gonna wear to prom. But before that... Before Hanshi even. There was Marcus Hawkins. An African American male who bullied my friends and me relentlessly through Freshman Year of Highschool. Beat us up, call us names and threaten to hurt my family. And I took it because I was afraid of what would happen if I stood up. I thought that if I stood up somehow it would be worse. After so many years of being followed home getting called names I had enough. I shaved my head until every little hair was gone. I wanted to be as smooth as a marble. And all night I flipped my switchblade in and out. Practicing and getting my fingers toughened up. And then the next day after a long day of humility and torture I turned right instead of left. I took Marcus into an alley and stabbed him fourteen times in the stomach. And I walked away like nothing ever happened. More will be continued I guess.

My life began in 1983, in south side Las Angeles to my strict, Japanese father and I never new my mother. None of my family has a military past, my father is a blue-collar worker and his extremely strict on the rules, as I stated before. My young school years were great, good friends and great teachers. But my High School years is where my life starts to get out of hand. It was 6th grade where my all-white school conjoined with an all-black school. Of course I was scared. These kids were not like me, and my friends have left me to go hang out with girls or other black kids. I wasn't like these kids, I was working class, I wanted a job; I wanted to work. These kids found their excitement and enjoyment by bullying me. Names like gook, jap, Asian boy and every Asian like insult you can think of. Look, Iv'e never done anything wrong in my life. I'm just trying to do my work and go to college. Until 10th grade when I was hassled, every-single day. The teachers did nothing, the principal did nothing; and most importantly, my friends did nothing. (wasn't like I has any friends) And I had enough. I started adopting neo-nazi styles and beliefs, I wore skinny jeans, bought a pair of black doc martens, white polo and red skinny suspenders became my everyday style. I no more sat down while kids yelled at me. I stood up and looked them in the eyes. I remember the first time I stood up for myself. I remember it so vividly, like it's a lucid dream. It was when I first turned 16, I was a sophomore. I was all-state on the baseball team, that was the only good time to relax, the whole team was white and they all loved me. But anyways, my normal bully was following me while I was late to practice. I began to get this wicked feeling, like I saw a ghost. So I began to panic, thinking alot sense the baseball field was like a half a mile away. And he just wont stop following me, he didn't talk, didn't call out to me.Maybe he was coming to apologize? no. Why would he? So I began to realize I could just clock him right in the head with my wooden bat that I never used. I stood around the corner of outside of the library. I sat their and sat until I heard him right around the corner. Just right before he turned around I turned the corner with the bat hanging down towards my feet. That was the first time I looked at him face to face. I saw his eyes, blue. He looked at me aswell, and went for his pocket. I lifted the bat up and socked him on the side of the head. The sound, the sound of a bat hitting a head. It was none like others. Not like a bat hitting a ball, like a bat hitting rock. I kept smashing his head until I saw his eye pop out his socket. Then I got scared. Very, very fucking scared. Long story short I did 10 years in prison on a mentally insane charge. Later known the kid had a 9 mm pistol on him.

*As Henry awakes the day after his meeting with Frank he rolls over to see its late in the afternoon. He rolls out of bed and puts on his brown boots and black leather hoodie. He walks to his phone and calls Hanshi back.*

We will be taking applications for in store positions after the launch

"It's the Tri-City skins." Paulie says while readjusting the M1911. "What about them?" Frank asks. "Henry and I are currently discussing and proposing an alliance. We've discussed boundaries and how we're going to run business together. I've got a good feeling about these guys Frank." Paulie pulls out a glass and grabs the bottle of champagne sitting next to him. He pours himself a glass and then makes a gesture offering Frank a cup.

*A black Lincoln Town car pulls up to a grand house. Frank gets out of the car and it drives off. Frank had one of his men drop him off because his car was riddled with bullets.* *There is the peaceful sound of a fountain trickling as Frank walks up the interlocked stairs of the manor. He presses the door bell next to the solid oak door. A long and luxurious chine emanates from within the home. Frank notices the camera next to the door. A quick buzzing noise emits from the door and it unlocks.* *Frank walks in and shuts the door. The house is beautiful: granite floors with decorative inlays adorn the ground while Frank looks up to an open to above entranceway with a balcony. It is very bright and the stark whiteness is refreshing.* "Frankie boy!" A voice exlaims. Frank turns around and his underboss Paulie emerges from the kitchen. "Your doing alright for yourself paesan." Frank says as the two men embrace and Frank Pat's him on the back. "See all dis marble. I got it imported from Italy, it cost me a fucking fortune. Anyways come to the library, we can have a drink." "Paulie, things got fucked up with the Russians, they tried to whack us out but we got them first. Rocco got shot but it looks like he's fine." "Motherfuckers. Things like that are why I always keep my piece with me." The hilt of an m1911 with ivory grips is visible from Paulie's trouser's. "By the way I got something to discuss with you." "I know, Sonny told me. What is it Paulie?"

"Yeah, they've got their priorities set though. You can't blame them for being who they are or else they'll defy you even more." *Gene slips on his reading glasses and puts a napkin over his lap and eats his toast.* "Can you believe these stock markets? They're fluctuating so much that there isn't any room for improvement. And don't even get me started on the Presidential and Vice Presidential Debates. They're gonna ruin all of us."

*Henry pulls out his switchblade and takes the other black guy into the restaurant and throws him to the ground.* I wanna know! Who the fuck you think you are to shoot at me and chase me down the fucking street you dumb fucks! You get too hyped up on kool aid you mother fuckers!" *Henry stabs him in the leg* "ANSWER ME!" "Fuck you. You boiled egg lookin motha fucka!" "Yeah.. Prison will do that to you." *Henry stabs the man in the stomach multiple times. He stands up and wipes his hands on his shirt.* "Well I'm sorry about that fellas. We'll take these assholes back down to the boonies for ya."

*Henry starts running down the alley further. He jumps over a dumpster in the way and runs down little Italy.* "Hey motha fucka! Where you goin nigga!" *Henry turns around and sees the group chasing after him.* "Fuck!" *Henry bolts into a small Italian restaurant.* "And you wonder why people profile you!" *The small Italian woman behind the counter greets him. He jumps behind the counter and ducks down. She starts hitting him with a big piece of bread* "Fuckin stop lady!"

*Frank drove around the curb and was suddenly in Roseport's little Italy. It was a vibrant area adorned with Italian flags and was mostly old brick buildings from the early 1900's. Frank parked his Cadillac in front of a storefront with a modest but nice looking sign, reading "La Bellezza Café."* *Frank walked up to the entrance; there were three very shady looking Italian American men standing out front, two of them smoking. They were dressed in leather jackets and one had a tracksuit. They nodded in respect as Frank entered the café.* "Ohhhh, how are ya boss? Haven't seen you in a little while". Sonny explained from his spot at the bar. "Good, good, how was turtle beach? I see you gotta tan." Frank smirked as he and Sonny greeted each other with a european kiss on the cheek. "Ya it was nice, a bit humid though. Did you talk with Paulie yet? He wants to ask you something. Anyways, i talked to those russian guys and they want to meet with you today." "Today? Fuck, alright I guess. If these guys want to sell drugs in Roseport big time, they better be willing to give us a cut." "Your damn right Frankie. Anyways cmon let's have a drink."

Hopefully there will be some kind of driving test as seen in some of the arma 3 mods. Probably it will either be that, or the usual 'buy license' as also seen in alot of the altis life servers. Good idea to implent insurence to the game, especially if there would be diffrent types of insurences, like in the real world, the more expensive the more it covers. Could also see the registration part work, were it would be in the criminals best interest to not have the car registered, like having the ability to counterfit license plate, or steal cars to use in robberies etc. So it wont be easily traced back to them, making more work for the detectives at the presinct!

*Frank's eyes flicker open, they are heavy and crusty, so he wipes them.* *Frank goes to his kitchen and makes an espresso. He lived in the penthouse of a 6 story luxury condominium, with reinforced floor to ceiling windows and a view of the city. * "Hey Sonny, hows it going?" Frank said over the phone. "I'm coming over in a little bit, ciao." *Frank got changed into a short sleeved dress shirt with black slacks and a gold crucifix chain paired with a fine black lamb leather jacket.*

"Why thank you my dear boy" He says patting Hanshi's shoulder "Its been passed down through many generations since the 1800's" He says as he turns to blabber on. *He quickly turns back to Hanshi* "Can i get you a drink at all friend? Tea, coffee??"

Mafia 2 had the best story out of any game about the Mafia I've ever seen. It had seriousness and comedy and that fuckin game felt like a Francis Ford Coppola movie about the Mafia. It was a masterpiece.

Gene Smith was born in London, England in 1984. After his mother and father divorced Gene moved to Los Angeles, California with his father. After going to school in L.A. For around 20 years Gene moved back to London in 2003 at the age of 22. He attended UCL as he was an international student and further got a main degree in creative fields. He then studied for business and his medical degree. After graduating in 2010 in multiple fields Gene moved back to the States with his father. He later moved to Michigan where he worked as a medical doctor for DeVos Children Hospital. Helping children beat Leukemia and removing tumors. Once he felt fulfilled from his job he took a leave of absence from the medical field. He moved to the Island in late 2013 after spending all his years in the states. After moving there he had fallen in love with a girl named Sarah who he later married. Once he had gotten married he started up a small business that worked on finding different ways to make prosthetics out of recyclable materials. And after that business venture had gone well enough to sell the company he had free time on his hands. He met a man who offered him a seat in his club where he could be the acting Vice Chairman. He thought it would be a new opportunity so he accepted immediately. Maybe he'll have more opportunities now.

So what top games are they that allowed in-game money bought with real life money? Because all i see is that it would mean that people will not work and instead will just buy in-game currency so that they can get rich and maybe trolls will do it to get guns and kill everyone. Why even ask for something that will ruin the game experience. The competition to get rich and rule with money. As some would say "Money is Power". EDIT: So far your the only person who has asked for the game to be pay to win as far as I know on this forum.

Welcome!
