What a crazy several weeks since the last dev blog post! The increased exposure and attention from the apartment video has resulted in a surge of additional funding for Identity, which has translated into an expanded team with two new full-time developers coming on board and more to join soon. Work has been going very well. Motown, your community manager, has started transitioning into the role of producer to help manage our expanding team. This has helped to reduce some of the work-load on myself so it's been a very welcome change and he's proving to be great for the role. Our lead character artist, Miroslav, has been hard at work on numerous enhancements including building our makeup and blemish systems. This will give us the freedom to add all kinds of makeup options, especially for females but also for men. Your options at character creation will be a bit limited, but a vanity table will let you customize your makeup much further. Blemishes allow us to modify the skin in a whole lot of ways, from just a little blush on the cheeks to full-body freckles and more. Miroslav has also done an excellent job expanding eye customization for your characters which won't just tint the color of the iris but change its entire pattern to properly match the styles seen in those eyes in reality. He's also expanded our options for hair and facial hair. Feature development has also been going quickly and smoothly. Among others, we've built the contacts and friends systems which will be available in the Town Square module. When you meet people in the world you'll be able to exchange contact information, adding their number and name to your phone. This then acts like a friends list in other games, but you can even text or phone them with real working voice systems. It's also integrated with your Steam friends to make finding them easier. Environment art is also moving along, with several artists working full-time to give you beautiful environments. We've hired on some more artists and are even reworking some of the earlier assets we produced to bring the up to our now higher standards. Identity YouTube channel PowerGaming7 had the chance to speak with myself and Motown for a while after asking his viewers for a bunch of questions to ask. The result was an almost one hour long video where we shared all sorts of information you may not have heard before. You can find the link to this video right here. Once again, I want to thank every one of you for your continued support! Every pledge that comes in goes straight into the development of new features and helps us get the game to you a little bit faster. The attention we've seen over the last couple of months has been staggering, and we are excited to show you more of the gameplay soon!

Probably already been posted, got this in an email today from the Dev team. Enjoohooyyyyy

Redwood Working's was founded in 1891 in Washington State with no more than 14 men in total. Redwood Working's was originally called Woodesso's but after they became known for their huge take on quality furniture they became Redwood Working's. One of the first pictures taken at the Redwood Logging Mill in 1896. Locals began to purchase up extreme amounts of furniture that was made by Redwood trees because of its distinctive pattern and design. When the company began to gain traction the owner of Woodeso's sold the company to William Benin William Benin posing for his company portrait, 1896. When Benin purchased the company he stopped manufacturing furniture with Redwood trees and moved over to Walnut, Maple, Oak and Chestnut. He felt that these woods were in higher number and could grow nearly limitlessly. The company's profits rose nearly 47% by time 1911 rolled around. By then Redwood Working's had moved to Northern California and Oregon to start logging there. Two men posing for their hard work, 1912. For about 30 years the profits declined slowly which brought the death of William Benin at age 62. When his son Sam Benin took over he began to see a new line of work for RedWood Working's. He began to produce some of the first guitars for people like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and made a special piano for Jerry Lee Lewis. When the 60's rolled around the British Invasion was in full swing. Led Zeppelin, The Who and Queen were dominating the airwaves alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Clapton and Small Faces. Samuel had shaped a logging company into more than just a logging company. He became good friends with the makers of Fender and Gibson and began sharing some of his own guitar designs with them. Together they made guitars like the Gibson SG, Fender Strat, Les Paul, Telecaster and many more. At one point Samuel was in talk with Eddie Van Halen to make his own signature amplifiers. Sadly Samuel died of cancer at the age of 83, and Eddie Van Halen went on to make his 5150 brand of amps. Now the company is owned by Jason Harrison. The company still makes furniture and guitars and with Jason's knowledge of instruments he's sure to make waves on the Island.

Hi folks, I'm new here, and I hope to be a clothing designer in-game. Maybe even hold an annual fashion week. I also hope to sell affordable art for everyone's apartments, or even sell my actual photography in-game. Besides that, I plan on being a frequent fixture at the karaoke bars during my downtime, so come join me for a few sessions of "drunken karaoke."

Logs back on four hours later to see that world peace has been established and Bin Laden was just a fall guy

That is true, especially with the fact that the name sticks I sorta agree on this. Each server could even have their own name for the island

Everyone please be careful of a scam email being sent around from "asylumentertaiment@gmail.com" notice no "n" after the "ai" The email contains a message that states Identity is out for testing and directs you to a link to donate money to get access. If you receive this email or one similar don't donate money as it is not real and mark it as spam.

Just a thought but would this not be an interesting Item you get one and it changes your name in the game while active so people can't find you as easy and think you just look like someone else. Also make and sell them to other players.

I really think there should be vaporizers (vape pens) in the game. Let me know what you think!

Couldn't resist that title. I have two questions regarding gender in identity. 1. Will we be able to change our avatar's gender in the character customization any time in game? 2. Are clothes restricted by gender? (I.E. would a woman be allowed to put on a suit and tie, or a man put on a dress?) These are some options that I would love to see in Identity!

Thought I'd bump this and re-introduce myself as I haven't visited the forum since I made this thread haha. Nothing has really changed, except I'm 24 now I just read the email update and everything is looking incredible, I'm so excited! I intend to start hanging around here a lot more.

yeah it's on the dev blog post on the forum under announcements.

The percent bar for the Town Square Module is manually updated, so they will only update it when they feel they've reached a significant milestone! Seeing as they've hired 2 more developers for the game, according to the new Devblog, I'm sure it won't be long until they reach another milestone in the module and update the bar!

I got to see some carrots in the new devblog. I'm not even mad, I'd eat the fuck outta those carrots. New models are looking good too

That's like Kickapoo telling me that Identity will have nudity. That's not official news. That's just him telling me it. Those videos are "Official" in the sense that the developers didn't make it and didn't confirm it either. They just talked about it. For future reference, there is no official video talking about drugs

@Shimozukachi

Hotel jobs in a rpg game was something I wanted since before this kind of game was announced. I'm not sure how extensive the hotels are going to be in the game: if you'll just be in a room with basic amenities or be able to go to a pool, spa or even an on site restaurant. I'm thinking the former, but perhaps there will be those kinds of things around town somewhere.

I honestly think it shouldn't have a name. That makes it more special when people have their own interpretation of what it could be

I was wondering if there is a system in place that prevents people copying artwork, music, and writings from being copied by someone other than the actual creator. Is there a system where only the owner can copy their creations and sell them? I personally would love to write books, make artwork, compose a song, then make copies and sell them. Is there a system for that as well? Thank you, if there is any similar information as well someone could add please go ahead. -Sofetios

Here: https://discord.gg/k7drXVn This is the un-official identity discord server that the devs and mods are active on; also with a lot of people using it!

I would enjoy working here

> logs into identity server > sees that 100% of player's have modeled their character off of Bin Laden > logs off identity server

The next video will be on "gun customisation" which is due to come out before the 1st module releases. The first module is due to release by the end of march at the latest with no delays!

Sweet, gonna have to get some grungey clothes from here

Not only that but that Imgur link is pinned onto Town Square - General board on this forum

I actually have something rolling with that though. The band currently has two guitarists and needs a drummer, singer and bassist

When it comes out. You can't tell me not to be vague when this question is asked every other week. And it always is given the same answer. If they take the time to search it up they wouldn't have to get replies like that now would they.

America likes Russian as bad guys. THEY KILLED APOLLO

This is McLovin all over again!

i would see volvo s70

What happens when someone like a Governor is killed? Does he just respawn and can continue his role in office?

AUDI S8//NISSAN GTR R35//LIMO FOR THE GOVERNER//BLACK TRUCK WITH BULLET PROOF WINDOWS

It's a given

what?! why? now our scottish friends won't be able to wear any dress! that's racist! they need them for le scottisch reich just kidding. don't take this serious

@EyeKey @AlexJamesTravers @DoctorFosterGloster @Kickapoo @Hatoful Here is Motown's answer when I asked him on steam. 19:37 - Motown: This is something we planned for early on, but it's more likely that it won't make it into Identity before launch. Possibly not at all. 19:39 - Motown: We'd love too but clothing already takes up a lot of our time, and doing so would probably double the amount of time it takes up.

I'd like some chocolate ones.

Don't forget wingman, and friend, and emotional punching bag.

There was something I rped when playing Altis life was I stuck myself in prison as a prisoner with a life sentence for whatever season and started a prison gang and what not. No clue why but I love rping a notorious prisoner but I don't know if I'll be allowed to so I'll have to speak to an admin.

I would like to RP an average middle aged bike enthusiast who slowly but surly begins to lead a life of crime smuggling weapons across the island and later creating a motorcycle gang. Or i would like to RP as a trucker who just spends his time driving, sleeping at motels and getting into fights at bars. Or, i know it sounds rather stupid or boring, i would like to just RP my whole time on the college campus. I like the idea of being a student at the uni and it is a great place to just soak in RP from others. It would be fun to RP a reckless teen as he battles through Uni.

Paramedic/firefighter of course. Hoping to save as many lives as I can.

I'm going to be a stripper If it's still a job they'll do...

I'm probably going to be a paramedic and save lives.
