Well, i finally got my tablet working and kinda got bored while doing an all nighter. From bordem came this and although its not really finished yet i do hope to get as many people in this picture and dress up their cartoon as your character would be. So if you are not yet on the board and would like to be, then please comment below with your characters appearance and what not. I would like to see as many people on this board or another like it. POST BELOW!!! @Paratus @Motown @Hanshi-Toshiro @Dekan @Herzog @ShenjiNagasaki

Yesterday afternoon, for another Identity Insider, we've released a video detailing the workings of player housing in Identity and what it has to offer at our present point in development. This gives you a good idea of the level of fidelity we're going for in all of our key systems, and more videos will follow as we continue. Housing was chosen for our first video as our initial focus in development is for features present in the upcoming Town Square module. If you haven't already seen the video, check it out above. Housing as you've seen in the video is an excellent place to hang out with friends, but it has a lot of good practical uses, too! First, housing is the primary storage location for items you've collected. Whether it's a bookshelf full of books, a gun-rack with wall-mounted guns, or a crate full of junk, it's sort of like a bank for tangible stuff. Housing is also valuable for moderate crafting, too. Some advanced recipes might require a factory, but a lot of stuff can be created at your home using special crafting tables. A hydroponics table can even be used to grow small-scale plants, legal or otherwise!

We at Asylum Entertainment are very excited to tell you, our community, how you will be able to get into the game sooner than you think! Identity's modules are small portions of Identity which will be released before Identity is ready for the world. This lets you experience part of the game months sooner than otherwise possible. The first module you'll be getting your hands on is a social environment which we've called Town Square. The Town Square will include all major social components, and will allow you to finally create and customize your characters. You can meet hundreds of new people and explore several cool features of the peaceful city life. For more details on Town Square, check out the modules page on the Identity website. Following the release of Town Square you'll experience SWAT player versus player action and eventually vehicle races of all sorts. We'll be bringing you more information on the modules as they progress!

Idea - JOB ARTICLES I Think it would be cool if someone looking for a job could go to a building which contains articles for jobs around the area. These articles could be placed by business owners looking for new employees or the game could generate jobs every once in a while. This would allow People to easily spread news that they are looking for an employee. They could also have specific needs on that CV where people would be rejected if they did not have them (e.g Driving licence, Experience) You could also have it where multiple people could give in submissions and the owner of the business could pick the person that they feel would be good for their job (they may be able to organise interviews). I feel like they could also add Training where a specific person would need a certain training licence on their 'CV' to do that job. The Employer would need to pay a fee to put it on the article so it would be a fair system. This would help the employer , looking for people, the employee, finding that job. It could also open up illegal activities like CV forgery so they could get that job or people could hire an employee and take them hostage. This is just an idea, if anyone has any other improvements please let me know. - JT

Nobody is entirely sure if the Rizzuto family are a faction of the Bonnanos, but before they broke off they were a faction of the Cotroni family, who are Calabrian (therefore most likely Ndragheta). That said, the Rizzutos are definitely the most violent active Italian OC group in the US now that Philly is doing the smart thing and not killing each other every two seconds. My point is that compared to the 20th century, very few people are killed in Italian-American OC these days. And that's probably for the best.

You can always roleplay as a mime.

From the 1997 film, "Donnie Brasco".

The long awaited customization video is finally here, please feel free to leave your feedback and tell us what you liked most!

I can't wait to get my hands on this game! This game is something I've always wanted to happen. I'm going to love getting to know everyone here and forging my own path in the world! Perhaps one day you'll all work for me! Or I'll be the unknown mail manager in the basement of Super.Co.Inc. Either or, I'll be happy doing it!

Dear haters of this game, I understand that a lot of people have many doubts on this game thinking that it will be a 2nd "No Man's Sky" and it's too ambitious of a project, or simply just impossible, then please reconsider and give this game a chance. Yes there are a lot of expectations in this game and yes it has limitations but this game is striving to become a new genre all in itself. After this game comes out, or even before, you might see big corporations trying to copy this as this has become very popular and very unique. This brings me to my main point. If your trying to say that this game is like those made by major corporations, it's not. It's made by a small team of developers who fantasized about this type of game. Instead of sitting around like the rest of us do and expect a game like this to be handed to us, they took the initiative and MADE this game. Also, we aren't buying "early access" per say. We are giving the developers money to continue working on this game and bring this community something that we all enjoy. Most of us are here because we wanted this type of game to come out and when it did, we all jumped on the great idea and are trying to make it a reality. The people who pledge $30 or more will get beta access, yes. This doesn't mean that they are trying to suck all the money out of us as they can. They simply NEED funding unlike games made by BE or BLIZZARD or Valve, etc. I hope you put this here as a joke. If you meant this in a detrimental way then I think that you need to find a better use of your time. Again, the people of the Identity community love this game and wish for it to be a reality. If we didn't buy "early access" and all the other perks, then there would be no game. Valve can pump out new games for as long as they want without selling early access. They can make games that are F2P and have no micro transactions whatsoever simply because of the fact that they have the funding too and will be bringing in more money than they know what to do with. This being said, Asylum Entertainment has no major funding expect for the people that like the community and the game. I can't speak for everyone, but I think that most people part of the community appreciate what Asylum Entertainment is doing and giving us a game that is 1. Cheap, 2. NOT pay to win, and 3. Something that a lot of people have fantasized about for a long time. You can buy the game and become the most powerful person on the official servers just by playing and being dedicated. I am not 100% on this but I heard that it will cost around $15 USD to buy the full game. There are micro transactions but they are purely cosmetic. This is purely a community based driven game. Almost the whole world is controlled by the people. This is a game created by the people for the people. If you still have doubts in your mind then that's fine, different people have different opinions and you are entitled to yours. I hope that you can at least not spread hate about this game. Thanks for reading and if you agree then leave a like to show the power of the community and to show that you really care about this game! ~Rem P.S: If this can for some reason get pinned, It might help show the haters the power of the people and community!

MTA SA is basically, Gta SanAndreas multiplayer on PC. There is one server on that game called Cit2. It usually has 800 people on it. Basically no NPC, and 800 real people on the SanAndreas map. There are tons of jobs, Police, ambulance, fireman, garbage man, farmer, fisher, pilot, and criminal. With all of these jobs come custom scripting to make them full. Farmers have custom jobs, and ways to plant things and get money, fisher get boats and do a sort of minigame to actually get fish, and criminals have turfing, different drugs, robbing stores, atms, and houses. Every house on the server is also ownable by a player like identity will be. In case anyone plays the game, pm me.

Thank you for the reply! I am definitely very interested in joining when this awesome game comes out.

@Hzap thank you for your interest in us, we cannot wait to get started on Identity and begin expanding. To answer your question regarding what style bike or bikes we ride, we ride cruiser, bobber, chopper, panhead, etc. we stay away from crotch Rockets ,modz, etc. I hope that helps you.

Your obvoisoly new to this community. You should be happy we got that video, we waited a long time for this video. They don't roll out these videos weekly. You can go watch power gaming 7 on YT he has videos talking about Identity features. But it's not new gameplay videos.

i feel this to almost be a matrix quote but i know its not..... but i still like it!!! Gloucestershire is my area how about you? Thank you all for the welcome.

Thank You brother.

Name: Junior Timoteo Nickname: Gamebred Age: 25 Hair/Eye: Black & Brown Height/Weight: 6'1" 205Ibs Fighting out Of: Maui, HI Amateur Record: 9-0 Pro Record: 13-3 Belts/Ranks Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Minotauro Nogueira. Brown Belt in Machida Karate under Yoshizo Machida. Junior Timoteo was born on the island of Maui on Dec 21, 1991. He is of Hawaiian and Portuguese descent. Right after birth his grandfather adopted him. His grandfather is Silvano Timoteo, a high ranking member of the Hawaiian Syndicate. Junior was homeschooled by a private tutor hired by his grandfather. When his lessons were finished his grandpa's friend Big Joe Kaleikini (Hitman for the HS) would come over and train him in Boxing. At the age of 16 Junior excelled in his studies so much he was able to graduate a year early. When he graduated he expressed interest in joining the ranks of the Hawaiian Syndicate and live the life like his Grandfather Silvano and his Uncle Nelson. His Grandpa shut that idea down real quick. He wanted Junior to live a different life. One more successful. He obliged with his Grandpas wishes and decided to become a fighter. At the age of 17 his grandpa gave him the money he made Junior save since he was 5 which came out to about 10k and sent him off to achieve his goal. But Junior no longer wants to be just a boxer. He wants to be a Mixed Martial Artist. So he went to the place he knew he could achieve his dream. Los Santos, San Andreas. Today He has trained with the likes of the Nogueira Brothers, Lyoto & Chinzo Machida, BJ Penn and Vitor Belfort. He has an amateur Record of 9-0 and a Pro Record of 13-3. He is also a member of Feared n Fearless MC. His grandfather wasn't too happy of him joining a 1%er MC but Junior flew him out to meet the brothers and Grandpa Silvano actually had a good time and is happy his only grandson finally found a sense of brotherhood. He is now coming to Identity to break thru in the MMA world.

Very thought out. Enjoyed the read and the idea of being a fighter.

You guys seem enthusiastic

I was referring to the lawyer killed outside his shop, it wa supposedly done by n'drangheta. I dont have a direct source for it, but if you do some digging you can easily find it, even watch a coule of documentaries. They are heavily involved in huge construction.

Definitely in the Torrio/Capone days of the Chicago Outfit, but they've also worked together quite a few times. Who? The Rizzuto family? Do you have a source for that? There was 1 hit in Melbourne earlier in the year, but he wasn't a made man, just a mob lawyer. An Ndragheta figure was hit in NSW a few weeks ago, maybe that's what you're referring to.

Yes traditionally they have been in the u.s.

Ya I understand and agree with your point. Also, the Cotroni family were Calabrese, but they were different because they weren't n'drangheta back in Italy and when they came over to Canada they modelled their family structure after the Sicilian style. Today the Rizzuto clan is mainly Sicilian but also includes Italians from other regions, and in that sense they are a true pan-Italian, yet Sicilian based, la cosa nostra family.

Maybe it's not as grandiose as it was in the 20th century but hits are still prominent nowadays. Even in the small country of Ireland there were 10 men killed in the Kinahan-Hutch feud over the past year. These included hits overseas, hits in a hotel during a press conference whete the hitmen were disguised as gaurds, and a hit in a family pub.

Not a bad idea. if anyone wants me to id be more than happy

Come to think of it, it sort of reminds me of Cyanide & Happiness for the art style.

Call it what you want, but you can probably count the number of NYC mobsters who've been killed in the last 10 years on both hands.

I'm more so interested in seeing what the devs are able to do when they're no longer restricted by the ArmA engine and mission files for the servers. From what I've seen, this game will over-satisfy. Hello everyone.

I would love to join this fine organization! Please good sir fill me in!

I've seen quite a few 'community backed' games come and go over the past few years, so it's amusing to me to see the same basic arguments being used for this game as all the others. It's also amusing to see all the same complaints about 'it taking too long' or 'it being pay to win', etcetera. I'm going to back this project, at the minimum level, because it's being made by the people that created Altis Life (which is the most interesting Arma mod I've ever played). I don't have any expectations for Identity. I don't expect it to be finished in the 2-3 years. I don't have an opinion on how gameplay or game mechanics should be designed. I just want to see how the project unveils, and I want to give John VanderZwet a chance to make his dream game. Too often, I see people trying to imprint their own ideas and expectations on games that are in development. They get upset when a game doesn't follow their logic or understanding, or it takes too long to develop. This happens from both haters and fanboys, and I think gamers, as a whole, need to take a step back and realize that not every game has to fit their specific requirements. It's ok for someone to develop something outside of the norms. We should enjoy a game for what it is, and try to understand what the developer is trying to make for us. If the developer has clear vision, and the ability to make a good engine, then the game will be successful. It's important that we embrace this model of funding going forward. I think everyone is tired of AAA publishers releasing the same garbage again and again, and community backing is how we break that cycle. It's how we get back to getting games made by gamers, for gamers. Obviously, there's a lot of risk in this funding model but I feel that it's worth it if it uncovers those 'diamond in the rough' games that would otherwise remain hidden away. I look forward to helping test this game, and although I don't plan on being active in this community, I will voice my input in a calm and logical manner. And on a personal note REM: I look forward to hearing your radio broadcasts in-game someday . Your signature is a little huge though, so maybe trim it down a bit. I had to hide it, and now I don't know how to get it back.

In that case, ill apply, is there a form I need to fill out? I didn't see anything on the page.

I would like to officially like to welcome Jeremy ``Jerry`` Sirata as a made member of our family. Salute fratello. I would also like to extend a warm return to Carmelo our enforcer.

I joined this forum when it was about 3 days old, and I have been on since. While I have had my doubts and been inactive for sometime now i am back with new love for the devs since they showed us the first real gameplay. The game is looking great. Can´t wait to play and live in this world of ours with those I´ve talked to on these forums since it opened. The friends I´ve made here, the troubles @Kickapoo has gotten himself into and required my help, and the sneaky detective of Misneden Security (now discontinued) @Norway174. Not to mention my first interactions here was with @FlyingDuck who I have talked loads with. The old guard is to numerous to mention, the times I´ve enjoy to many to count. Big shoutout to @Arlmar @Katie @Vix and so many others. While we all been here the devs have been very active, been apart of discussions, answered questions and deleted cancerous threads while being friendly to the community #Hugs4TheIdentityRPGDevs #Hugs2TheIdentityCommunity and #Hugs4me

Ah thank you for your support. Much appreciated. ___ Also sorry for this bumping message but after long absent and some low inactivity we would like to state we are still alive. We also got a recent question about recruitment and what type of server side we will play on. First we are open for recruitment. Send a pm to me and I will evaluate your "application" for further association with the Famtiano Family. We will also be operating in the EU. Thank you for your time once again, fellow citizens.

I would rather the developers do DLC's than have servers modded. But yes modding has true potential but when modding comes it takes over the game and you will find that no one plays the servers without modding and it ruins it, mods take over the game and some people could make a lot of new content for their server and then the non modded servers won't survive if they don't mod with custom content if they are newly up.

Interesting concept, hopefully it works out very well for you bro. It would be pretty cool seeing street gangs like The Warriors. "Can You Dig It?"

I really hope you guys can optimize it well for lower end PC's, it would be cool, I can run Arma 3 decently, but not the best.

I would love to see cars from the 70's 80's and 90's for example the old jap card like the Datsun 1200 ute and the ae86 corolla but also others like the ke70, ke30, ae71 corolla both wagon and sedans and stuff like the 180sx, r32 skyline and the s13 Sylvia all with extensive body and engine mods like intercoolers, rims, lowering suspension etc. would also like to see some 4x4s like the old Toyota hilux and Willys jeep.

Without the mustache, obviously.

Hello citizens! It's been too long since our last developer blog entry, so I wanted to take the time today to update all of our backers on Identity's current state of development, as well as give a little more insight into the process behind the scenes. During the first year and a bit of development, most of the time was spent developing key backend systems. Networking modifications, weapon physics, character customization, voice communication and so on. That's all behind us now, and I'm happy to say it's gone as well as we could have hoped. Now and for the past couple of months we've moved on to gameplay development, making those backend features do the fun stuff. This Month in Development In this last month our lead character artist, Miroslav, has finished up everything we need for your characters going into the Town Square release. We're always going to be adding more character customizations over time, but to start you'll have the choice between 4 male and 5 female race options. After selecting your base race you can customize further with skin tones, blemishes, scars, eye color, hair styles, hair colors and tweaks to facial features. Identity is expanding on the usual character customization, though, as some of the options available can only be gotten through achievements. Prison tattoos are an example; if you see someone with such a tattoo you know they've done something to earn it. A lot of work this month has also gone into the player housing systems. In following our previous messages, our home customization system has been in place for some months although we've been expanding the floorplans in preperation for the Town Square module release. Sean, or Motown as you may know him, has prepared the various apartments you will have in the Town Square. If you have made a smaller pledge to Identity and do not have an apartment yet, we're going to be giving you access to a temporary (small) home in the Town Square so that you can play with the cusomization features. If you've pledged for a package containing an apartment, Town Square will show what you'll have in the full Identity game upon release. Just this morning our lead programmer, Henrik (AKA Mathalion), finished up the karaoke systems. It's a minor feature for Identity as a whole, but it's going to be loads of fun in the Town Square module! Just off the lobby of the hotel is a slick little bar, complete with a karaoke stage. You'll be able to queue up your favorite songs on the karaoke machine and see the lyrics on one of the monitors around the stage. The microphone on the stage really works, too, amplifying your voice out of the speakers so that your singing can be heard by everyone there! Most of us are terrible singers, so karaoke is going to have a lot of hilarious moments. If you're just there to watch, the restaurant by the stage is fully functional, too! It's Been Too Long I'll just come right out and say it: we at Asylum Entertainment have really had poor PR these last months, and you guys deserve better. You deserve much more frequent updates, and we're committing to give you that moving forward. We're a relatively small development team today. Currently a core staff of 5 incredibly talented full-time developers, I'm amazed every day with what this team can accomplish. Outside of our core we have a handful of part-time workers, mostly artists, who are also very skilled. Because we're a small team, many of us have to wear several hats. For example, Sean is our community manager but also a 3D artist. I myself am the project manager, a programmer and interface developer. This leads to few resources to dedicate towards PR as there's so much work to be done on the game itself. This is something we knew though, and we're going to set some time aside regularly to keep you in the loop. The Town Square module is coming soon. We're in the final months of 2016 now, and you'll finally be inside the first piece of the Identity world in the first quarter of 2017. It's a little later than we originally hoped since we're dedicated to making sure everything is smooth and stable from the first moments. Identity is an enormous undertaking, but the most difficult bits are behind us and we're drawing near! What to Expect The first stage of game development is always very boring to talk about, and also doesn't give us much to show you. Creating those backend systems that drive the game behind the scenes is one of the most important phases, but it's not very glamorous. It's for this reason that most games aren't announced until they're a couple years into development. Now that we're past that point, we're going to be able to start showing you real Identity gameplay. The first gameplay video you'll see is going to be in November and will show you just how detailed and in-depth Identity is becomming! You'll see a walkthrough of our housing system, showing just how far it can be customized and some of the cool fun features you'll find in there. Following that video we'll give you a glimpse of the Town Square features, leading up to its release. It's been a ton of work and a long time coming, but we're moving forward at a great pace and everything is about to get very exciting over here.

Is anything going to be done about 12 year old kids coming in and playing the game like it's GTA? (Going around on killing sprees and killing other players for the fun of it) That might get annoying. I feel like it'll be inevitable. Also, sort of a side-question. What will happen when the player does die? Do they start over or something?

The age rating will be 18 but the devs don't mind younger people playing, also there will be nothing in place to stop 12 year old kids playing but they will not be able to get guns like in GTA (they will be more rare) and so that's a more of a thing. When you die on official servers, you lose the money on you, guns, etc. but not clothing. You will either respawn at your last binding area (house/ apartment) or wait for a ambulance to arrive and a paramedic to revive you.

Nice question, I also wanted to know what happends when a player dies

Well I'm not being rude I'm just telling it like it is. If you don't want to participate in the pre business thing then don't. But the smart ones who want to start a business will already have somewhat of an idea of where to start. I have a dealership business and i'v spoken to admins and developers about it and I have a pretty good idea of where and how my business stands. At the end of the day your post was unnecessary. Stop ruining people's creativity and being negative. You have posted this 3 times and is annoying. Nobody cares and we aren't going to stop. If you don't like it there's a log out button if you need it. Again not being rude just my "two cents"

Hey guys, I'm really happy about how excited you all are to see these screenshots of the Town Square. They're just meant to be a little something to show you guys how progress is going for that module! You might remember the first screenshot of this location that we published back in may, and will notice that the square has been completely rebuilt from that original version! Just keep in mind that this is a work in progress with much of the detail, props, decals, lighting and textures still remaining to be added to the scene. Old Square:

Contracts information: Need someone investigated? Some crime family taken down (perhaps a rival)? Body guards? Security? Well you have come to the right place. Atlas is not only doing contracts for the government but for everyone with enough cash! We have guards, a task force and a more then competent intelligence agency, all at your hands. Message me today so we can go over a plan of action!

Hello Vincent. I'm pleased to see this good looking security system. I am running for Governor and i would sure to hire you if we win, for security of course. I hope you support the campaign for hope. Vote for hope vote Dino.

Mr. Falcone is a respected and powerful individual, and I am pleased to announce that we are allied. Atlas and ASC is working together, and his enemies are our enemies. See that as a warning. Sebastian Valentine Founder and CEO, Aegis Security Consulting
