Hello everyone, I'm new to this game and I'm very excited to play it. Since all of you are contributing in the forum with suggestions, I would like to explain mine. I'm a car otaku, love to drive and modify cars the way I like. If this game is going to be "realistic" it definitely will need a complex vehicle section. --TYPES OF CARS Variety is the clue here. From new cars to old, from basic and simple cars to special models and one-of-a-kind. Micro-cars, small cars, sedans, sport cars, hyper cars, small and big vans, trucks, big rigs, etc. The more the better. Take a look at other games like Gran Turismo, there are more than 1000 different cars (although some of them are different versions of the same model), or GTA V with classes and diversity. Another important category is using different types and versions of the same model. For example, using the Ford Mustang that everybody knows, it's not the same a 1969 Mustang Boss 302 and a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost Convertible. Also, in the very same year there are lots of variants, taking the 1969 Mustang, there are the Base, Convertible, Mach 1, Boss 302, Boss 429, and special versions like the Super Cobra Jet. All with their own engine trims and transmissions. This apply to all the cars, another example, this time more complex with a Japanese car: the Nissan 180SX (know as 240SX in the USA and 200SX in Europe). A popular car among tuners and drifters all around the globe. As far as I know, Identity will be based on USA, so the local model will be the 240SX. The differences? Lots of them. Every region got a different engine and here comes the fuss. The original 180SX sold only in Japan started in 1989 with an engine called CA18DET, a 1.8 litter turbo. The model was called "Zenki ("early" in Japanese) by locals. It was sold from 1989 to 1990. From 1991 to 1995 the model got a facelift and an engine upgrade. The engine now was SR20DET, 2.0 liter with turbo. The car was called "Chuki" ("middle" by locals). Notice the visual and performance differences? The final form was in 1996 to 1998. The model got upgraded in visuals, called the Type X. The engine was the same with so little upgrades. The car was called Kouki ("late" in Japanese). The visuals were shocking different. Since that was a Japan-only sold car and we're in the USA, the car available would be the 240SX. Read the "Import" section to see how to get the 180SX. The 240SX was sold from 1989 to 1995 in the USA, using both the Zenki and Chuki models BUT both with different engines as the 180SX. Both used the KA24DE, a 2.4 litter engine, low-performance taken from a Nissan truck used in the States. Why? Don't ask me. A popular modification to the 240SX is to swap the engine with a SR20DET. In Europe, it was the same as in the USA but with the early-Japanese engine CA18DET. So here you got it, same model with different variations and engine. --IMPORT AND EXPORTING CARS The local cars are great, but don't you want that rare gem that was only sold in a certain country? Importing cars is a popular choice by automotive freaks to buy a cheaper or different cars as everybody else. In the USA, you can't import cars that were never sold here unless they are +25 years old. If you are up to trend in car news, you are aware of the Skyline GT-R R32 importing situation. The Skyline, a car that was never sold in the USA, now that has more than 25 years old you can freely import it and drive it. A forgiven fruit faster than a Porsche or a Ferrari from his era. Importing and exporting cars should be a business also. Local workshops bring into the States cars now legal from other countries like Japan or Europe, and at the same time they export local cars to those countries. It would be really cool if you could only buy these imported cars via those business. --MODIFICATION OPTIONS You have bought you desire car, it looks cool and bright. What do you do now? Tune it of course! So may options, styles, paints, wheels and stuff to convert your casual car into a one-of-a-kind. Let's start with the most common styles nowadays. -Tuner. Mostly used with Japanese cars. Build for performance but at the same time to look good. In a Japanese car, the more JDM the better. -Muscle car (drag racer, resto-mod,hot rod,...). In muscle cars, the most popular styles are the drag racer and the track racer, build for speed using just a few visual bits. Another style is the resto-mod, taking an old school musle car and modify it with the most modern and best parts available in the market. Really popular in the 2000's with heroes like Chip Foose. -Hot rods, rat rods, roadsters. Usually with 30's and 40's American cars, highly-modified from it's origins. Rat Rods are based on a more dirty and poor way. Also hot rods are very popular in drag racing series. -Drift cars. Looks very similar to tuner cars but more aggressive looking and modified for drifting. This style vary from practice cars to professional cars. Drifting was originated in Japan in the late 80's, consist in taking corners with your car sideways. Usually this style is only for fun purpose but in professional categories the winner is decided by a set of judges, judging style, speed and sideways angle. This style is NOT limited to just Japanese cars. -Race car, Time Attack, race-spec. Not just a race car, but a highly-modified car with just one purpose: fastest lap time. Visuals are not the most important aspect in this style, but aggressive looking and beautiful paint scheme are important too. -Bosozoku, Grachan, Kyusha, Japanese old school. The Bosozoku cars were originated in Japan in the 70's and consist in modify the car in a exaggerated style with colors, lights and big exhaust. The Kyusha evolved from Bosozoku, using a similar style but more focused on racing and performance. Note the evolution. -Stance, camber-gang, low-life, German style. Stance is a purely aesthetic style to look cool. Slamming your car to the ground to be the lowest. Very popular with European and Japanese cars. Usually the performance of the car has been left intact, or actually it has been worsened with the suspension geometry by having a crazy amount of camber in your wheels. There are still lots of different styles but these ones are the more popular and most important to start with. --RACE STYLES Now with your modified car you need a place to race with your friends. Where to start? -Street racing. Straight outta Fast & Furious. Street racing has been the most popular style for young people who has no money to go to a racetrack. Usually on sea ports, abandoned roads or mountain roads. Street racing embraces all kind of styles, from drag racing to touge to time trial. -Touge. Another kind of street racing but only in mountain roads. Racing downhill or uphill, or just freely drifting with your friends having a good time. Touge was originated in Japan and it's still very popular with young drifters. -Drag racing. The streets or the drag strip. 1/8 mile, a quarter mile or an entire mile. Racing from still to the finish line in a straight line. Very popular in the USA. -Time Attack. Originated as a cheap option to race in track. You race alone against the clock, and the one who gets the fastest lap time it's the winner. Nowadays it's a popular event and houses the fastest street modified cars. -Race spec. Race spec includes all the categories and races that happens in a race track. A group of cars, usually with similar performance, race side by side in a racetrack and the first one to complete all the laps it's the winner. These races start from basic-modified cars to official automakers race cars. -Drifting. Usually raced in small race tracks to save money. You don't race a drifting event, you just freely drift your car and have fun. In a judged drifting event, a set of judged set you a score based on style, speed and drift angle. I think those are the most popular race styles. Again, there are lots of styles left with different rules. Will update the post with more info in the upcoming days. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm War. I have this idea and it's gonna hopefully be something I can do. My idea for my character is to become police officer. I then will have someone follow my character around and he will be recording while we patrol, the plan is to basicallycreate a Cops or Live PD for Identity. I'll roleplay around the city and people can watch our youtube livestream, I'm excited, oh I'm really really excited.

Hello! I am Supreme Leader, and I am running for Governor through the National Identity Front. Who am I? Allow me to introduce myself in a bit more detail. My name is Supreme Leader, and I'm a Korean American male from Seattle, Washington. I have the innate ability to organize, and lead a group of people, as well as the ability to take criticism well. I am very open-minded, and I enjoy debating with others in order to sharpen my argumentative skills, and to ultimately be a well-rounded and rational person. My idea of the ideal government is one that for the most part, keeps out of the lives of it's people. The role of the government is not to be an invisible gun against the head to the civilians, but rather to help the collective population express their needs through their elected officials. This means that generally for social issues, I find that it's best for the people to decide their own fate, rather than some highly ranked official who has somehow convinced himself of his moral superiority to have the ability to make decisions for the collective majority. Here, I will state my general beliefs for a variety of different heated topics of political discussion. Feel free to question, and challenge me to debate on whatever topic of your choice. As does my party, the NIF, I promote intellectual conversation, and I find that it is one of the most healthy things that you can do for your brain. I'm completely against the idea of exclusion of thought and the idea of thought-policing, as I feel that if you truly are correct in your thinking, then you should have absolutely no problem in making the other person look like a complete idiot in an intellectual discussion. If not, you probably should sit down and consider thinking deeper into your political views. And even in the event that you cannot get to a common ground, being able to disagree while remaining united is the foundation of any great civilization built on intellectual expansion and development. Anyways, let's begin. Topics: Freedom of Speech - This is a topic not being discussed by the other candidates, but I feel that is necessary to address. The right to freedom of speech, historically, has always been created to help support unpopular speech. Popular speech has no need for such laws of protection, because popular speech protects itself. It is important that we hear out every possible political ideology out there, and then weed out those that are weak through proper, intellectual discussion. The concept goes something like this: If you truly believe that you are correct in comparison to another person, then what is the worry in taking to them in a debate? Challenging your views and beliefs with others does nothing more than help sharpen your ability to logical reason, but on top of that it helps weed out inferior or outdated beliefs within our society. Marijuana - I find it to be absolutely useless to waste our time and money on trying to fight against the use of recreational marijuana. However, I still strongly believe that there should be strict regulations on ALL different kinds of drugs. For example, I find that there should be a vote among the people in which we decide the legal age to purchase, and posses certain amounts of marijuana. I believe that in social topics such as these, that it should be in the hands of the people to decide their fate. Gun Control - I am a strong believer in the right to bear arms, for multiple different reasons. Firstly, I find that there is a always a threat of potential government tyranny. The people should be able to fight back against an authoritarian government, if it gets to that extreme. Secondly, the threat of being a victim of crime is always a constant threat as well. The people should be able to defend themselves against those wicked-minded, and also when criminals begin to acknowledge that more and more people are deciding to carry weapons, the crime rate will naturally decrease. However, with more loose policy on gun control, there must be more strict punishments if someone were to be caught misusing their firearms. Longer jail time, and other penalties need to be enforced to discourage this behavior. Minimum Wage - As a person who advocates for free-market, I do not feel there needs to be a need for government regulation on minimum wage. It's more than a myth that government or businesses controls prices, or wages. The market does. The government should not be saturating the market with enforcing fictitious prices and wages out of nowhere, because the market will naturally balance these wages and prices out through supply, demand, and the economic prosperity of the consumer base. The Law - With giving more freedoms to the people, there needs to be harsh punishments to deter these people from turning to a life of crime. This means longer prison sentences, and harsher penalties for committing crimes. Obviously, the punishments will vary dependent on the type of crime. However, with giving the people the privilege of certain liberties, we must give incentive them to maintain a positive lifestyle through having them acknowledge the dire consequences for going against the law of the land. The Government - I find that the role of the government is to accurately represent the people, and to give the people a voice in which they can express their views. Through this, I will help support intellectual discussion within our population, and enforce the law of freedom of speech. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Taxes - This one will be an odd-ball because we don't necessarily know how the economy will function as of now, and we can only make speculate at this point. However, these are my proposed tax plans (due to change, but the general principles will still be the same). Income Tax: Up to $9,000 ------- 3% tax $9000-$30,000 ------- 5% tax $30,000-$80,000 ------- 15% tax $80,000-$100,000 ------- 20% tax $100,000-$200,000 ------- 25% tax $200,000+ ------- 28% tax This proposed tax plan is to ensure power in the middle class, and to support consumerism in the market for not only people of business interests to thrive, but also our consumer population. I will also allow people to write-off donations and charity in their taxes, however to stop tax avoidance, only 70% of the total donations and charity will be able to be written off. This way a person of $200,000 income can't just "donate" $200,000 to a friend's organization, just for his friend to give it back to him, with the initial guy having zero tax liability. However, having the ability to write off donations and charity will still help give incentive people to give back to their communities, while still not taking a huge hit in their net incomes. Business Tax: I propose a low 2% corporate income tax, for a few reasons. 1) Increase in the job market With more businesses having to worry less about how much the government is going to take out of their profits, we should be helping them, as businesses will be an integral part of our economy. With the decrease in focus of taxes, businesses will be able to hire more, pay more, offer better benefits, etc. Now, you may ask: "What if the businesses just pocket the extra cash?" Something to understand is that with everything having to do with a business and a customer, there is always competition. With businesses looking for the best, most motivated, and most efficient workers, they have to offer something with employment that other businesses cannot. This is why we see such an increase of the better workers in the lower class moving to businesses like Amazon IRL, because they offer something to their employees that other businesses just can't compete with. To summarize a bit more, businesses will HAVE to employ more with BETTER benefits in order to even compete in the job market. This is why I don't propose a base minimum wage, because the market will determine this on its own accord, and pushing government regulation on this will do nothing more than harm to our free and open markets. 2) Better benefits for employees Same reasons as above ^^ Competition, competition, and more competition in the job market among employers to attract the best workers they possibly can. 3) If we drastically lower the corporate income tax, we could eliminate the special treatment for dividends and capital gains. The reason we currently have the special rates is to offset the "double taxation" of corporate profits. You can quibble with the term, but the fact remains that a 35% corporate income tax combined with, say, a 43% marginal income tax rate (once we add in the special Medicare surcharges), would be a hell of a disincentive for the very wealthy to invest; you're talking about lowering the projected return on an investment by almost 3/4. There's little question that this would be bad--there's a reason that not even Sweden attempts to levy those sorts of taxes on capital. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am aware that there are a multitude of topics that I may have missed, but feel free to ask me through a reply! I'd be more than happy to answer or challenge any of you to a debate. Supreme Leader for Governor! President of the National Identity Front (NIF)

NATIONAL IDENTITY FRONT (NIF) There is nothing more important than the political independence for a civilized group of people. As the people, we must embrace and share a communal identity with our nation to ensure that the political measures taken are for the furthering of full sovereignty, self-governance, and for the interest of the people. Through contextualizing history, we can understand that groups of people work best together when they share a common goal and idea. This is the ultimate goal of the National Identity Front. For those who are unaware, allow me to explain the meaning of Nationalism. Nationalism is the patriotic principle which sticks people together of different ethnic, tribal, linguistic, religious and cultural groupings into a single defined population, linked to a specific geographic territory. Our proposed system works through near-total democracy, with the voices of the people being heard over the non-elected bureaucrats who run our land. However, in order to reach such a democracy which is fair and equal for all, we must enforce an ethnostate to first achieve the aforementioned common goal, idea, and national identity. We are all for political discourse, and in fact, we promote it. We believe that no matter how much you may disagree with any form of speech, that if you are truly the "correct" one, then you should be able to out-argue them in an intellectual discussion. With the National Identity Front, our member base generally leans to fiscal conservatism, minimalism in government, market freedom, and, for the most part, social conservatism. However, our biggest focus is bringing the voice back to the people who built the lands in which we stand. It is the people's choice in which direction we take our land, with obviously the help of advice of council. How the Party is structured: President - Supreme Leader Vice Presidents - Djdobish, OnePumpWonder (There will be 2 of these) General Secretaries - iAreJayar (There will be 3 of these) Council Member - TBD (There will be 8 of these) NIF Members - Anyone who wants to help out and support the movement. We are looking for people who are like-minded, and want to help promote this party. If you want to join our party, PM me! Visit our website here: http://nationalidentityfront.co.nf This is a movement, and we need YOUR help to make IdentityRPG a truly great experience. UPDATE: The NIF President, Supreme Leader, is running for office. Show your support!

If you miss your rent/ bills payment then you will lose the house like @Devonor said but if you are offline you cannot make those payments and well that means you will lose them for inactivity / not paying. You will likely lose the money you put into your house but you won't lose the stuff inside the house as they will be moved to a bank etc. I think a player can probably own max 2 but that is my opinion and well it could only possibly be 1 per player. No, only those who pledged with the apartment as an extra will have one at the start, as because why would someone pledge for it and then everyone gets one anyways; also the devs would not have it on pledges if everyone started with one. Those with pledges under $90 will have to save up and buy the apartment. People who start with out an apartment at the start don't get one like you heard but they start off with a hotel room for free for a certain amount of time and then you get kicked out if you don't pay after the timer is gone. The apartments will be on the map and will be able to be walked to like the apartment video shows "the inside". I am sure that all apartments are unlimited. No knowledge on this as for now and I think nothing like this has been asked for the business buildings etc. Doubtful, for apartments and hosuses the player can invite who he/she wants to enter but I think they will be able to allow as many as they want.

This isn't gonna work because if the person hasn't seen the movie they aren't gonna watch the entire thing just to rate it on here...

Hey Guys, I thought I would share with you a little guide I designed a few years ago for businesses in Arma 3 Life. It's a simple business model that worked pretty well. It's more or less an algorithm for any business you choose to make. It allows for your employees to be paid, and will minimize them breaking off for sole profit. It is purposely written so that anyone can understand. --------------- Business Model System This is the business model system for maximum efficiency for any business. This model uses a percentage based pay and is designed to be easily modified and easily implemented. Here is the Key for the following guide: A- Overhead (This is the money you need to cover your expenses) B- Profit (This is the money you make after your initial investment has been covered) C- Employee Payroll (This is the money for you to pay your employees) D- Investors Payroll (This is the money to pay your investors) ----------------- Generally speaking you need to arrange all of your investors payroll and your employee payroll to only come from your profits. It is important to remember what your total investment is, your profit, and your payroll. Be sure that you keep an eye on your finances. This is an example of the business model: Your total Overhead (A) is $1000 You have one investor, who has invested $1000 into your business in exchange for 5% of your profit (B). This places a $20,000 valuation on your company. You have one employee plus yourself. Your employees and investors make 5% of your profits. From 100% of your profit (B), you now owe 10%, which leaves you with 90% of your profit. Your profit is $5000. This means that $250 goes to your investor, $250 goes to your employees. 90% of your profit or $4500 is now left over. You invest $2000 into your Overhead this time. You have the same amount of investors. Your company's valuation is still only $20,000. You have gained another employee plus yourself. You have banked $2500. If your profit from a $1000 investment was $5000, this means you made $6000 from the total investment. In turn you expect to make double because of your investment of $2000. This puts you at a $10,000 profit. 5% of $10,000 is $500. You pay your employees $500 and your investor $500. This leaves you with a total of $9000 profit. This algorithm is a progressive system. You do not have to pay any specific percentage, I was simply explaining the math with the easy percentages. ---------------- Q: Why would someone work for me, if they could make the same amount as me? A: Your employee pays no overhead, he uses your equipment, he uses your services, he uses your resources. He has no risk involved. If he is robbed, it is not his money he is losing. (Or She). Also, your employee will scale with more employees and more profit. Whereas if he were to do it all on his own, he would make the same singular profit without the ability to scale, unless he were to create his own company. (Or She). Not to mention, you could promote the employee to making more of a percentage. Q: Why not split the profits evenly? A: You can do that! Except you do need to take out your next expenses before dividing up the profit. Always cover your next venture. Q: Why bank the money? A: The reason for banking your money is insurance. If you are robbed, or an expensive piece of equipment is lost, stolen, or broken, you need to be able to cover those expenses. You pay yourself, the same amount as you pay your employees. You bank the remainder for upgrades and incidentals. Q: Is this the only system that works? A: Heavens no. There are many different systems that work, this is just an easy one to start with until you get your feet wet. ----------------------- Should you have any questions, or anything you would like to add to this guide (Business Model) please reply and leave a comment.

Hello! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jonathan, I'm mostly known as Alphoni online, and I'm quite new to the Identity community! I've been having a look around this community, and the game itself for a couple of days now and it seems promising! Just a couple of minutes before I made this post I actually pledged $90 to the community, because I truly do believe it has potential! And I've always been a fan of Life simulator games. So I'm really excited for the release! Allow me to introduce myself a little more! As I said, I'm Jonathan! I'm 19, I turn 20 in July. I work as a personal assistant (I help people with disabilities), got a lot of strange work hours, so the hours I'm online and active may vary a bit! I finished school last summer, I used to study Helicopter Technology, ended up working with disabled people, that took quite a turn, eh? Well, I'm happy with what I do! I got my own place, I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, It's enough for me to get by, I don't need a lot more room for my activities! I'm a very happy, optimistic and chatty person. I have it easy to get along with most people! So I believe I'll get to know most of you quite fast! Well, if you have any question, please ask! I'd love to talk! Kind regards, Alphoni

It would be so cool if you had a loud car, and it's sound would echo through the tunnel. And others would be able to hear it depending on how loud the car is. Like it would be louder if you prepared for it and had your windows down, like the music.

there using a program that makes it possible to use multiple servers for one (game)server if one server is having a lot of tasks (eg player movement and all those things) a other server can help out with those tasks.

Welcome to Identity, Mastahakill!

Uhm, thats why it would be a group of servers working together to handle the load exactly as I said.. Similar to how an HDD RAID(1) works but for a different reason/concept.. Therefore server wouldn't crash.. How do you think WoW and the other games do it? It's not one server it's many that come together to make 'one' server.. Also all your game needs to do is render the Models and textures that's it, the server would handle the other tasks.. Literally still the biggest performance draw is models and textures, not anything else, the next big performance hit is PhysX which is a totally different thing that doesn't at least at this moment apply here.. Your PC would need Memory to handle the people around you and all it needs is the coordinates.. So that's all you have to worry about fitting in the memory.. The rest of it as I said comes back to models and textures and you only need to handle the models and textures currently on the screen at that time, which is why in some games you get a super FPS boost when you look at the sky, even in full lobbies of people..

Thank you @JamesLuck01 for the information, it has been very helpful!

Someone asked for me to make a whole topic on what foods I would like to see in the game. I meant to just create a list of things that were only related to food, but things like "jewelry" and "clothing" can come from things like shellfish shells and fur from game. So I thought I may as well just include some of those. This list is suppose to be for reference for the "cook book" I want to make. Basically a list of foods, their ingredients required and their "crafting stages" example: Apples -> Sliced Apples OR Peeled & Sliced OR Diced Apples. So when you right click on a material that is able to be crafted into something else, a list of options should pop up that you can select from. You would need the required items in your inventory (for example an apple & a knife) to slice and peel. Because if you are right clicking on a Pie Dish and you only had the ingredients for an apple pie, I don't think you want to see the option to "craft a blueberry pie" when you don't even have the ingredients. To make things even faster there should only be 9 crafting options or less per crafting item. So you can simply just type "1" to select the first crafting option and keep right clicking the rest of your things.

I don't know about these forums, but on MyBB that was possible. You could make a separate forum group and choose what it does on specific sub forums. To avoid too many requests, there can be some requirements like 1000 unique players before you can get a forum.

We wish you good luck.

1. That is correct. 2. You can create a newspaper/ write article etc. (Confirmed) The newspapers automatically get delivered. 3. You can be a radio station host (Confirmed)

Yes but no. You can't enter a house or apartment without ones permission and so it would not be a thing allowing you to break in. However, even if it was possible to break in, you cannot hold a gun out because it is a safe zone but all in all the game is done so not even on private servers you will be able to break in as far as anyone knows.

I talked before about this very same issue, on another thread, and my point there was to be able to make a career as reporter, with options to try diffrent jobs within the TV station. And since this would be local for the server, then both twitch and youtobe would not be a media that fits for this. - I still think it should be made as an ingame option. It does not have to be a video showing the real players, but their caracter, when they talk, make interview or ex. are on the place on an onging bankheist, or police bust of a large drug deal. This could also be used (as told here on the thread) to cover a politicial debate, sponsored by local companys that want their names out. - This would fall to the ground on a Youtube or Twitch video (because its local material for a specific server), im not asking for this to work directly, as the first, but for sure something the devs should give a good thought to if its possible at some point. On top of that there are newspapers, and radios, I think there will be some kind of option to write some news articles ingame (think I did read about it somewhere here on the forum before), the radio should be possible by starting an online radio station, but again I think this should be done within the server, not a online radio station that all servers have acces to, if its local material they want to broadcast.

i would have it for every view. if there is a police chase i would have a dash cam view. If i'm just talking to a citizen it would just be a normal overlay of a camera.

This would be pretty cool but I wouldn't want it on the official servers. Maybe on servers hosted by players haha I know what I'm doing during the purge

I will be very happy when my rank changes, it currently has such a negative status. Lol

Yes, and I'm not worried I was simply pointing it out! On a recent topic in these Podium Topics an individual made that point. I wish I was aware who it was so that I could grant him the credit.

Not a problem, hope to see you around the forums

There is a Discord server that the community uses -- I will warn though that it's an unofficial Discord so there's not a bunch of equal power and regulation in it. More of just a "chat box" for their website (but not in the website :P) https://discord.gg/DFysp (Link expires in 30m)

The developers promised that they'll make it so there's no way that this game will be pay-to-win. I doubt that somebody can just buy all the perks on the server to have very much advantage over others. The current shop options are there to incentivize people to pre-order the game, so then the developers have more $$$ to work with. Also they can show to their investors that there IS a demand for the game, which can lead to more $$$ making the game overall better and less buggy

These are some pretty good questions 1) The developers have recently announced that they have started collaborations with other companies to allow them to spread the workload out. Also, they have announced that they have just got some recent investors which will help increase the budget of the game. It's unclear how they're doing it, but from what they've announced it seems like they're making progress! 2) This is also not really clear from the information we have so far. However, my assumption is that we're have some form of parliamentary government, where there will be multiple different parties which send their candidates to run for office. From there, the elected governor will have the power, with advice of council, to enforce laws regarding things such as alcohol, crime, tax, etc. Again, this isn't really clear so far because not alot has been released about the game and the functionality of the player community, so this is kind of a gray area. To address the second part of the question: "Does a governor really make a difference for a town?" YES. The governor will propose laws in which the people can vote for (at least my assumption). So it's important, just like in real life, that you keep up with the politics in order to ensure that the server you decide to choose will function in alignment of your views. 3) My assumption is that the drugs will have an in-game effect to your character. This will be pretty fun to mess around with, and the only way to get access to these drugs is finding a drug dealer. And don't doubt this economy, in games such as Gmod RP servers, drugs become a HUGE market because of the demand. Believe it or not, it's pretty fun to get high or get drunk and try driving for some people. 4) There will be restrictions on employment, as in real-life. The market may only demand about 5% of the population to be cops, and when those job slots start to fill up, then the town doesn't need any more cops. Also, this kind of connects to the 2nd question because Cops are government funded, meaning that the Governor will push policies that will affect this as well (such as how many cops are hired, the training, etc.).

I'm not sure if you're aware, but they're releasing it in modules and will be updating it continuously until the next one will be released. Some people are saying that it will most likely be released in the coming weeks -- one of the most active and knowledgeable members of the forums is estimating Easter weekend -- which I hope he's right about because I'm excited!

What do you plan to do in Identity? Do you have a character story yet? Any goals you wish to accomplish when the first module releases? I'm very interested, possibly we could have some role to play in each others lives in Identity -- as you know I've already had contact with you and you seem like a very mature and positive person Great talking to you, ~ SummitsEdge

A great point has been made...there are too many political parties! Especially when some are very similar!

Pleasure meeting you! I'm new here as well, and I'm excited to get to know you!

*winks*

Ahhh, I see what you're saying!

Still bedazzled by the possibilities this game is offering...social things definitely, housing, clothing. What is it we can't do?!

10,000 is pretty high. I'm grateful we might have 1,000 players on a server.

It'll get too crowded. The island is about 200km^2, we can space it out a bit

I personally think 300 is what the game should have, the game will be able to run smoothly and quickly, with 1,000s I feel it will be too crowded, take a look at games such as GTA 5 were it hosts a maximum of 30 players per server on a huge map, and you're constantly getting shot every where you go. And that's just 30 players, I feel identity shouldn't go beyond 500 players but if they chose 1000 lets see how that goes.

There is going to be an election where we decide who gets to go into office. My assumption is that there will be a cabinet, and a council who decides based on votes what will become enacted. If you check out The Podium you'll see what I mean.

Well think of the map size, and if people want unique homes, (witch none for the games below have) it will get some kind of limitations. And I cant think of any game that have 10.000 players on same server. Here is an example: Starwars have 40 player battles on the large servers. Battlefield 1 support 64 players GTA can handle up to 30 players on same session. Identity will start with 300, and have been aiming for 1000, and with the cooperation with SpartialOS it might open up for more players on same server witch are quite unique for any game. So keep up the good work guys.

God the OP SJW attitude is so strong. It's not rape when a male feels a girl up when he's a cop and she is a criminal. Deal with it femi-nazis! Luv u all <3

This won't happen on official servers and won't be a "system/ mechanic" in the game. The purge is not real in real life and so why would they do that? it is not realistic for it to happen and also those who don't want to participate in it on the film stayed home.... e.g. why would it not be allowed if it were to happen. "Pointless" and nothing like that would happen and so is un-realistic and a fantasy for most. Private servers will obviously be able to say if it can happen but remember why would they feed out guns because they are rare and so would in any case just make it easier for people to kill in future points. I get why you want it but really it won't work with the wanted system either because everyone will be wanted for killing and then they will go prison/ they won't be able to enter their homes once wanted...

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!

Understand, they didn't make that. It was a placeholder for the people interested in donating. They probably won't use that asset

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) 1. How are Kickstarter backers different from website backers? There is only one difference between backer rewards for the Kickstarter and website. Kickstarter backers will receive a unique in-game hat with the Kickstarter logo. Website backers receive a hat with the Identity logo. No new content in the future will ever display either of these logos. 2. Many people are confused on what the game is about. Would you mind telling us what your vision for the game is? Is the game more about Cops vs Robbers, or a balance between all the available paths? Identity is a cops and robbers game at heart, but it is a life simulator in so many other ways. We’re catering to role-play in a way that is possibly the first of its kind. Players have the freedom to pursue careers that will impact the player economy in their own unique way. Become a taxi driver, deliver goods to player-owned businesses, fight fires, save lives, argue a case in criminal court, or just hold out your hand and beg for money. Find, or steal your ‘identity’! 3. What can you tell us about the world? World size? Player limit? We anticipate that the playable world size will be 200 square kilometers, or 77 square miles in comparison. This means that the whole map is 14 km wide, and would take about an hour and a half to walk across. We hope to support up to 300 players (or more!) per server. 4. Can you expand on the professions? We know there will be cops, but what types of jobs will be available for civilians? Will they be able to create their own businesses? Create their own items? etc. Also, Medics and Firefighters? Players can choose from a wide range of professions, including the ability to become a Firefighter, EMT, Taxi Driver, Farmer, Bounty Hunter, Fisherman, Logger, Miner, Delivery Driver and even a business entrepreneur. The options available to you as a player get more specific than this even, but we aren’t yet ready to expand on the full list. The direction of development is prone to change, and we don’t want to promise anything that might change down the pipeline. Business ownership allows players to own factories and small business, giving them control over what items are manufactured and sold. Items created by a factory must be delivered to their destination city where store owners in that area can decide what quantity and type (formal wear, casual, punk outfits, weapons, etc.) they wish to list in their business. Some default items are always available in all stores for when market demand is not met. 5. How will death be handled? When a player dies, some items such as the money the player is carrying at that time, will be dropped on the ground and will become accessible to anyone in the area that wishes to take it. Clothing items will never be dropped. We have decided that a player’s character appearance in a social game like Identity is important. You will always look the way you decide your character to look. If the player is not resusitated by an EMT or teammate, the player is then prompted to respawn at the location of their last sync (house, apartment, city) Private servers have some control over what types of items players will drop on death, if any at all. 6. Can you expand on how the housing system will work? Size and availability of apartments and houses? Players can choose to own or rent housing in Identity, while apartments can also be shared with a friend or roommate depending on the size of the property. For instance, two friends, or a married couple can choose to purchase a 2 bedroom apartment where they both can live comfortably with each other. Apartments and houses are fully customizable, allowing players to place furniture and objects anywhere in the room. Home-owners can invite other players into their apartment or house at any time. Players cannot access another players home without an invitation. 7. Will there be any specific safe areas where people can go AFK or sit and socialize without being killed or robbed? There are safe zones within certain types of buildings in Identity. Metal detectors serve to preserve immersion, and will temporarily remove any weapons upon entry, allowing all players in the area to safely relax, socialize and meet new friends. These safe zones are known to us as “Sub-Hubs” or social gathering points that reflect on the lifestyle theme of their environment (Biker Bar, Business club, Bum alley, etc.). While many of these areas can only be accessed by law-abiding citizens, some Sub-Hubs are neutral and can be entered by any player on the map. Few areas are designated gathering points for active criminals looking for the right crime of opportunity, or new friends to help them plan their next heist. 8. How will player identification work in game? Will names appear above players heads? If so, at what distances will they be seen? As our design stands right now, the official servers do display names over heads within certain ranges. Some things like masks and balaclavas can affect this. Moreover, private servers have an option where they can hide names from all players unless greeted. By this I mean you won’t see the name over another player until they perform an emote action, after which you’ll always see their name.
