It's been a busy, eventful and productive month for the Identity team at Asylum! Only a few weeks ago we released our first video showing real in-game content, the player housing system, and Identity has gotten a good bit of much-needed exposure! If you haven't seen the video, visit Identity's YouTube channel. Our programmers, especially Henrik Sonesson, have upgraded our inventory mechanics and created two new important gameplay systems these last weeks. The library which you'll have access to in the Town Square module is now in place and functional. Players can both read public domain classic books in-game, or even write their own and submit them to the library for other players to read. In addition, the NPC shop systems are now in place. When you enter most shops you'll be able to find the items you need on racks or displays around the store. Grab what it is you're looking for and then make your way to the cash register to make the purchase. In some places you can preview the items you're holding even before buying; for example, in a clothing store you can go into a change room. This system even allows for shoplifting some items, although player-crafted or very expensive items cannot be shoplifted on official servers. On the art front, we've brought on new artists and are continuing to build the world you'll be exploring. We've also been focusing on the interiors of buildings and characters. We've gotten our first facial hair assets and are approaching a complete character customization system. An overhaul of character skin and hair has Identity's characters looking incredibly life-like in comparison to other MMORPGs. Next on that list for a re-work is the eyes.

We could attack their employees or employers (i.e. if the politician was a gangster grunt before entering office), and the politicians themselves. By attacking their businesses, we interrupt some of their income.

I would just like to wish the developers and community a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for when it is here! Also I for one cannot wait till the new year as it will be only a few months from the 1st Module! I have been waiting so long with most of you, like those who are making it real and well I hope you enjoy the upcoming weeks! So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! James!

On official servers, it'll be set that you can see the name of a player who your crosshair or cursor is currently over. There will also be an option for community servers which hides all names of players until they "wave" at you, to introduce themselves.

like say if i went a week without getting hair cut or shaveing mine bread or hair it should start to grow some each week like something they did on the witcher 3

Recently I was on the website for the upcoming game 'Last Year' Which is pretty much the Friday the 13th game. Anyway, I noticed on that site that it had a 'Backer only area' which meant that the people who had backed the game on kickstarter had first hand access to prototypes, screenshots and sneak peeks etc. I think that would be a superb idea here because to be honest the people who helped get this thing off the ground in the first place haven't been put forward of anybody else whatsoever. What do you guys think? @HairyGrenade @Motown @Paratus

My goal as of right now for this game is to marry or basically be family with a mafia don or something so I can be part of the crime world possibly without doing much crime myself because honestly I bet I would be terrible at it. But yeah my best qualities are that I firmly believe in snitches get stitches and I'd be glad to be the face of a business for money laundering or distracting the police or anything like that. Hmu if you're interested

.

Yes.

Looks good, it's cool that your taking business classes :), what a better way to simulate what you learned than applying it in identity

You wouldn't repo a vehicle just for non-payment on insurance, just revoke the coverage and then you'll be flagged as driving without insurance when stopped by cops.

I was going to hide it under the pile of dirty/clean laundry on my bedroom floor.

I don't really understand why this would be a performance issue, more like modelling resource limits.

All they said was that you'll get a studio apartment and you have to make sure before buying that you are want a thing that isn't finished yet, no matter how it'll turn out.

There will be some buildings you can lease

If everything will perform well enough to add it, then yes, but if it was to become a thing in the game it'd be way after release.

This is a great idea for a business, hope to see it in-game!

If you ever need a transporter on a job like this hmu. - i'll provide my own vehicle

I would also like to see what I'm buying if I'm pledging a few hundred dollars. (CURSE THE CANADIAN DOLLAR RN)

Eventually, I'm going to have to guess yes. I can imagine the Dev's understand the importance of offices, storage units, warehouses, etc. I agree with the idea, organizations need a central location to act out of. Well actually I eat my words, OF COURSE there is going to be offices one can purchase and use. If there is going to be professions that logically require office space EX: Lawyers, Government, CEOs, Fat Cats, Top Cats, Short Cats.... It will be so.

i want them to build the ability to build your own house

Happy Holidays everyone! Don't get too fat over Christmas and remember to enjoy yourself, this shit comes but once a year!

I'm excited to see all of the jobs they'll offer once everything is official but as of now I'm kind of planning to try to marry a mobster and hope they're successful at their job. And then maybe I'll own a little business myself that they can use to launder money or hide from the cops or whatever.

I thought about this and I thought to myself, "FirstTimeFrest, what if each corporation had to register to the "gov't". This list would be available for everyone on their phone or computer though a broker app. People would be able to invest in different corps that they know. These corps would then gain a small amount of income through stocks and would help make a larger profit. This would increase the stock price and people could make money this way." Then I said to myself, "FirstTimeFrest, That is a good idea."

You won't need food or drink desperately but if they are low, you may be affected by stuff like not running as fast, idk about needing a toilet/ restroom. Food and drink will not kill you quickly like a survival game/ this means you will not need to rely on buying food and water all the time.

Here's the real difference: In life, professional criminals accept that prison time is a part of what they do, they know the risks. In games, more often than not, players are not professional criminals, they're just players that cause trouble, & most of the time they're not even breaking any rules. Identity is going to change that perspective, put simply, 'If you can't do the time, don't do the crime'. I would expect to see some serious prison time on most private servers,but at the moment we're still not sure about what exactly Asylum intend to do here, and there are certain things we need to know: First, and most important, will game mechanics actually enable you to be a professional criminal? I'm talking about crimes other than those involving causing damage to other people here, i.e making money. Secondly, is the amount of time someone spends in jail/prison something that we'll be about to decide upon on private servers? Third, we've all heard that prison is going to be a 'mini world', an awful lot is going to depend on the exact definition of that, so what is it? One thing is clear, time behind bars IS going to play a major role in Identity, players need to be aware of, and accept it, before they embark on a life in crime.

We'd love to do this! We still need to integrate pledge tiers into forum user accounts. After that is sorted, we'll see about making this happen!

That's fucked because I was legit thinking of a food delivery service where we pick the food up at the store and deliver it to you....so if my guys go missing while delivering to a log cabin out in the woods....You're the first cat I'm calling

Happy Holidays man! Can't wait to chat with you guys in-game in the next few months. Cheers to a new year and a new sense of motivation for the devs with the recent 1.3k extra players coming into the community.

AAAYYEEE Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too James! I appreciate the shout out, and Devs, I'm sure we wont mind if you guys take a couple days off to enjoy time with your families So please, do. *****THIS IS PURELY SPECULATION GENTLEMAN DON'T QUOTE US***** Side note: So James you've been watching longer than I have. What do you estimate? At the latest February for the module to be released?

Yeah, but it will slow down the rp as typing is slower than just talking and so it won't make a difference. Also I think voices will need a license for them, unless they made their own and so if they can't make them then they won't want to payout money they need else where.

How does health system work and can police officers interrogate me if I go to the hospital after getting shot

I am not completely sure but it might be something like TFR (Task Force Radio) for teamspeak or might be integrated into the game. You might want to ask one of the devs over twitter to get the best answer. But hey, what do I know? Im just a weeb with a keyboard.

Yes,It a Parody of Intel

True

They have said the the 55% is the hole game and that the town module is really at 95+%. @Vix any info on this for him?

@1337av Remember, just because they haven't updated the percentage, doesn't mean they aren't working on it. Also, they haven't been giving many updates which is a little unfair, but we will have to make do. But the Town Square module is expected to be released within this month or next. Hope this helps!
