Identity's development has been moving at a pace we've never experienced in the past. With added full-time programming and art talent, we've been able to produce more content in a shorter time than expected. With all of the base features of Town Square in place, we've now been building up the supporting systems; the menu interfaces, server selection systems, character creation and more are well underway now. You'll get a good preview of the character customization soon! Ridable bicycle; work in progress Some exciting progress is also being seen beyond the Town Square! Our vehicle systems are starting to get fleshed out. We found the integrated Unreal Engine vehicle subsystems to be inadequate for the realism and fidelity we seek, so Identity will run on an entirely rebuilt vehicle physics engine. With this you can expect extremely realistic handling of bicycles, cars, vans, motorcycles, semi-trucks and more. We've got the Twitch Game development is an exciting career that many gamers aspire for. Just a couple of weeks ago we had test run streaming our development live on Twitch. In our first stream, our character artist Miroslav added different eyebrow varieties to Identity character head models. These are some of the eyebrow options you'll be able to choose when creating your characters; get an inside look at the work which goes into even a small detail as this. While the task Miroslav had at the time might not have been the most exciting, we're in the process of setting up a schedule for very regular streams from a variety of development departments. Keep an eye on Twitter and Facebook for stream time announcements. Click the preview below to watch the recorded stream. It runs at just under an hour in duration. Identity's first Dev Stream: Miroslav's Eyebrows You can find our Twitch channel at Twitch.tv/IdentityRPG. Follow us there to get notified when an Identity developer starts streaming! Path to the Town Square Town Square early revision; work in progress A lot of Town Square work has been accomplished since the last dev blog! From interface to animations and more feature polish, the Town Square is shaping up into a genuinely interesting social environment. We've been making everything we can in the environment interactive. If it looks like it would have some sort of purpose in reality, we're making it useful (or at least entertaining) in Identity, too! Grab a newspaper for the latest happenings, toss a coin into the fountain or grab a can of soda from the machine. Visual dynamics have been added as well. Simple things bring immersion to the environment. The clocks on buildings and towers show the real in-game time, the cinema marquee sign shows the movies playing with real times (which can be adjusted by owners of community servers in retail Identity) and more. We're making the Identity environment, and thus that in Town Square, feel alive and interactive. A hotel lobby at night -- John VanderZwet

Allow dislikes! Some of these guys post the stupidest things and I'd like to shit on them without having to quote them in the thread lol.

DATE POSTED: March 24th, 2017 Big changes for a bigger world! What a crazy time for the Identity development team over here at Asylum! We've been running all over the place for conferences and expos this month, including both GDC and PAX East, where we met all sorts of new talent and potential technology partners. We've unfortunately had to push back the release of the Town Square module from our original Q1 2017 release with all of the big developments here, but most systems are in place and it's not far off! The biggest and most exciting news we're officially announcing today is a new partnership with Improbable, the creators of SpatialOS! The Identity team has been testing the waters with SpatialOS for a couple of months now and we're incredibly excited about what it's going to mean for Identity. Identity can now be what we all hoped it would be, a true MMORPG in scale. SpatialOS is going to power Identity behind the scenes, allowing absolutely enormous scale for our world and the people playing in it. While we had originally hoped to be able to get 300 people into our servers with decent performance, with just a tiny bit more effort we're going to be able to expand that as far as the game needs. Instead of 300 players in a single server, we could now potentially have thousands. The size of our servers are now going to be set based on what we feel is ideal for a fun and immersive environment and we're not limited technically like we were expecting in the past. It opens more doors than simply the number of players on a server, too. With these changes we can now afford to have a more dynamic and interactive world. We've gained some freedom in manipulating the world and we can create features which we never imagined possible in a game of Identity's scale. This is all extremely exciting for the team. This technology is a scope-changer and Identity is going to be far better for it. Not only will our world grow, not only will the population be denser, but you'll even be able to leave your mark in many new ways. Development charging forward Concept art for Town Square art gallery and library, featuring player content We're working and expanding at an incredible rate. All key gameplay features for Town Square are now functional as we add polish and work to support SpatialOS in Identity. The development team has expanded with terrific new talent: Antoine joins Identity's 3D art team, Cody comes on board as a new systems and gameplay programmer and Liam comes in as our first dedicated web developer. Antoine and Cody both bring experience in their field to hasten development for Town Square and Identity as a whole. Liam's talents mean exciting new features on our website will be popping up soon. We've had plenty planned for our website for some time but haven't had the resources to bring these to you, until now.

Below is a conversation had between Motown and I via discord. He explained all the ranks and some SECRET ranks that I didn't even know myself. Here's a link to a video about this -> Motown-04/26/2017 hmm, there are Ranks you can earn based on how many likes you have, which are: Fugitive -100 Parolee -50 Bank Robber -20 Mugger -10 Wanderer -1 Immigrant 0 Opportunist 1 Apple Picker 10 Farmer 20 Entrepreneur 40 Diamond Miner 80 9 160 President 320 Rock Star 640 some random ones in there I forgot to change because I didn't think anyone would reach that many quickly Motown-04/26/2017 and titles for forum posts which are: Immigrant 0 Citizen 10 Farmer 50 Mugger 100 Burglar 250 Opportunist 500 Entrepreneur 1000 Foreman 1500 Executive 3000 Director 5000 Contributor 10000 yes it's a thing, but I think I have dislikes disabled on the forums currently

Hey Sjondefries! Good question! Unless it's a private server that requires it, players will not have to apply to join the police force. On Official servers, the process to join the police career is mostly automated. You may have to qualify through a training tutorial to get started, and then again after earning the right to become a detective, but you won't have to worry about talking to any players or staff on Official servers to become a cop. Private servers may choose to manually select their police officers, and will have the option to decide how that process is determined. If they'd like to interview people to qualify, they can.

I'm not sure exactly how many of you would be interested in this sort of thing, but once the full game releases, i would love to set up car meets and meet a ton of you all. I am huge into cars and cant wait to see how the devs have in store for us customization wise and i cant wait to see what you all do with your cars in game. I dont really care what kind of car you drive, muscle, import, truck, offroad, beater, bike, i just want a large social gathering of like minded people where we can all just sort of hang out and check out each others cars and get to know each other. I do plan on playing this with a good friend of mine but he isnt into cars like i am. Age doesnt really matter to me either as long as we're all respectful of each others cars and mature about everything. Sure the RP scenarios will be there for rivalries and races, but in all, i want for there to be a group of people who get to know each other and develop a true friendship all because we decided to go hang out with our cars. I guess, i kind of want to know you guy's thoughts on this. Would it be something that many of you would be interested in? Would anyone care to join me in opening a shop? Let me know your thoughts and hopefully we can continue to develop friendships starting here. See ya guys around! Jack Leyhe *EDIT* Devonor makes a good point. If we have enough people, would you guys be interested in me creating a steam group for the meets so everyone is notified of when and where? Seems like a good idea. I would also love to set up an actual car group in game with a name and logo for those interested to put on their cars (If thats something that we can do) Let me know, glad to see some interest in this. *EDIT 2* Discord Link here------> https://discord.gg/Pt9KcHP

True, forgot that the idiots we'd dislike would ruin us

i personally think modding should stay out of this, my reason being is that this is a realistic game based on real life and should stay that way, modding will only lead to people going over the top and making silly unrealistic creations. i say no thank you to mods but that shouldn't stop other players being able to enjoy them on other games

Me and a small group of others found that the riddle led us to a website. But we've hit bedrock, so we need more hints

The 9 principles and the 12 values the founding fathers had.

There was the 9-12 organization. A unified people, standing together Noble, Strong, Persistent, A united American people? The 9-12 Project (alternatively 9/12 Project, 912 Project) was a group created by American television and radio personality Glenn Beck. It was launched on the March 13, 2009, episode of Glenn Beck, the eponymous talk show on Fox News Channel. A website was launched to promote the group, and several local 9-12 groups formed soon after in cities throughout the United States.[2] According to Beck, the purpose of the project was "to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001 ... we were not obsessed with red states, blue states or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created."[3] 9-12 represents the date following the September 11 attacks in 2001, and "9 Principles" and "12 Values" that Beck believes represent the principles and values shared by the Founding Fathers.

Your opinion is yours, but if you do not think that some people will become total jerks on servers, then continue on. But if not, we will kill and sabotage those who deserve it.

Dunno how I'm gonna get alot of money without taxes, considering the fact I have a broken ankle that'll take a while to heal.. Anyways, I'll try my best to get a good pc!

I am glad you picked up on that. While this was done intentionally, it was more of a hint if someone had the initiative to find it. The 9,12 can be used for another reason, but I am very pleased to see that you noticed that. I very well may be in touch if you continue to show signs of initiative like this. Good luck

Sounds good man!

Sounds like a good deal, maybe we can get together and have one giant meet up sometime. Maybe host a full on show. I'll DM you sometime and we can talk a bit

Me and two of my buddies run a meetup and racing group called the Midnight Chasers. If you are interested you can find our post in the hideout section or I can post a link. We have some good ideas set up for this group and much like you want we have our own steam group and teamspeak server

id be one of those thousands of people lol. Im just working and trying to stay busy. Although if Town Square released when i go on vacation at the end of May i would die. haha GF wants to go to San Antonio for vacation and i might have to tell her we arent going.

Yea I dont see why not, I wonder if we will be able to manage our names in game, I would feel weird being REDLiNE in the crew Redline ahahha but I am sure we can figure it out, and yeahopefully interest shows, so far this topic did explode pretty quick!

Completely understand haha. I wont do Win10 until its required by all new games. I miss my drifting days and still have a few logos laying around on my pc...so...if we wanted...we could reuse my old drift team as a car group in game...just a thought

Couldn't agree more, hoping for a kind of "My summer car" parts system. Would be amazing to me. Funny little story...i used to drift competitively on Forza 4 and my drift team was named "Redline" So i can already tell i'm going to get along with you!

I would be totally down for this if you get enough people. You could make a discord or steam group to set up events and get everyone together. I'll be looking forward to more information soon :-)

I'll see you around in the car scene, that's for sure! I dunno what will be possible right off the bat from racing to customizing cars, but whatever it is count me in! That is primarily what I want to do in this game is customize, race and showoff cars. So hopefully the devs nail this aspect of the game.

I think we will get an announcement about a week before the module releases and so I think personally it will be longer but anything is possible. (I am not saying we will get an announcement a week before, but it is my opinion that there will be one before the module.)

Id say let the game get released then this stuff could follow still got a long way to go yet

Alright sure, I will contact him. And We would probably have special talkshows with Candidates and other politicians and we would love to interview you!

Every piece of information has been provided in my post. I know where you are, and if you know where you are then you know the password.

@JoelKeys what awaits at the end?

I for one, think that this idea is not bad, although it's not perfectly clear on what you do.

The wait is long.. but hopefully worth it!

welcome m8

It was just my opinion, but if they do add modding then that is up to the developers. I personally will just prefer they do the work and that be it because they deserve that while keeping it original.

LuckyDuck simply asked for you to kindly to search next time. Here is the other Post: Also the reason is because if every user don't search and just posts the same things, it clutters the forum and it makes it harder to find things and necessary info which could be on one post and then the next post don't have anything causing the guy who searched to go and post the same thing. I searched the word "Users" this was the first post which came up... Talking about checking 9 pages. EDIT: Just so you know that post is like 5 posts down from this one.

this is the issue with in game spending. i have no fucking will power to say no. Archeage had so many things you could get for real cash that by the end of it, i had nearly spent 1500$ without realizing it. don't get me wrong i had lots of fun and many hours into the game, however for this game, the 500$ is the only thing i am letting myself spend lol, so go big or go home. also I'm Canadian so that 500$ USD turned into 750$ pretty damn quick

Revelation 9,12: The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.

That is pay to win.. There for it is the worst way for devs to go.

Welcome to the community, nice to have you join us here. Also nice to meet you Soren! Please be sure to check both FAQ's out as they provide abundance of information and you could get answers you are looking for from them. Enjoy the forums and community, but please don't hesitate to ask a question if it has not been answered already and we will be sure to help you out if as best we can. Have fun and maybe see you in the Town Square Module!

If you don't know, you will never know. Work it out. What will be known eventually, must be known immediately. Do not wait.

You think you are this big leading organisation? Prove it. Crack my enigma.

It will likely consist of First name and Surname. The "Game account/ store account" name is the username which you use to log into your account via the launcher but the character name will be the first and surname.

Sounds interresting, but also very RISKY. What are you gonna do incase people get banned for lets say? use of cheats? Or what if people simple stops playing right after they borrowed 300k?

Hi there! I'm the Chief Design Officer at Supreme and I was responsible for the video. The process was fairly complex but I can break it down into a couple simple steps. 1. I acquired the base video footage 2. I used a complex motion tracking software known as boujou. Using this, I was able to recreate the space in the video using many thousand points in a 3D environment. 3. I exported the points to Adobe After Effects. 4. I cut parts of the video I didn't want and then added music. 5. Using the points created earlier, I assigned text and images to certain parts of the video. 6. I blended the added layers using masks and textures.

A while back he then said that he shouldn't have stated such a thing if he didn't know it would be done by then. People say things, stuff takes longer than expected, and development changes over time. It will be done when they say it is, no rush as it would make things sloppy.

Cool

I like it a lot! It looks a lot more... I guess home feeling? I don't know the word but it looks fantastic!

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:

@HairyGrenade please pin and feature this?

Sweet

Identity Forum Guidelines Last Edit: July 9th, 2018 Participation in the Official Identity forums constitutes agreement to the following guidelines, which apply to posts, profile information, avatars, signatures, private messaging, and any other content on this site and participation in general. The live nature of discussions in this community makes it difficult for staff to catch every violation of these rules. If you believe that someone has violated our User Guidelines, please send a private message to a member of our volunteer moderation team or staff with a link to the content and a brief description of what you believe is wrong. Please do not respond to a violation personally, as you may aggravate the situation and possibly violate our guidelines yourself. Any content that violates our User Guidelines will be removed. Interpretation of our guidelines is at the discretion of the staff. Please do 1. Report violations of the forum rules. Moderators will quickly review reports and make decisions based on the information you provide. 2. Respect others. Showing respect will encourage others to participate in discussion. 3. Like posts, that you feel contribute useful information to a discussion. 4. Read the rules, so that you do not accidentally receive an infraction or ban. 5. Be constructive. Help others by answering questions, and offer feedback to their ideas. 6. Read before posting. Fully Comprehend the topic of discussion and determine what has already been discussed. 7. Use proper grammar and spelling. Read your post before submitting. Spelling mistakes may attract attention away from the discussion. 8. Search for content related to your questions. There’s a good chance that there may already be an answer to what you are looking for! Please don’t 1. Troll. Trolling does not contribute to meaningful discussion. 2. Spam. Spamming clutters the forum and makes it difficult to find original content. 3. Flame, or attack others. Insults do not contribute to discussion, and will be removed. 4. Repost Deleted Content. Content that was deleted was removed for a reason, even if the reason is unclear. 5. Demonstrate or perpetuate toxic behavior. A user is considered toxic if they repeatedly make defamatory, threatening, insulting, or otherwise hateful remarks toward other users or staff. Please keep language civil when expressing your opinions. 6. Advertise websites or services unrelated to Identity. We do not sell advertising space on the Identity forums. 7. Cross Post. Cross-posting makes it difficult for users using the search function to find relevant information, and may be considered spam. 8. Ask for Likes. Likes are given to those for contributing useful information in a discussion. 9. Abuse reports. Reporting content with blank or inaccurate report descriptions will hinder a moderator's capacity to help. Please report content that is in violation of the rules, and not simply because you personally dislike another user. 10. Engage rule violators. You may accidentally violate these rules yourself by responding to others that you feel aren’t following these guidelines. 11. Make low-effort posts. Contribute useful information to the discussion, and avoid going off-topic. 12. Discuss Politics/Religion. These subjects are sensitive and may offend others. (There is a small place for fantasy politics within Identity's ecosystem. The Governor position will be able to tweak small settings within the game world, and must compete against others for power. The political systems within Identity are simplified and do not accurately reflect the processes involved with political discourse in the real world. Players may implicitly take inspiration from existing candidates or parties, but must not show any connections to real world politics through the use of logos/symbols, names (of existing leaders, existing parties, or of those within recent history), or slogans. By affiliating your party with a real world political faction, you are bringing such politics into discussion and grabbing the attention of those who recognize it. Real world politics typically invoke a strong emotional response in some viewers and can lead to vehement conflicts extremely quickly.) 13. Create multiple accounts. Only one account per person is authorized, so forum users can be easily identified. Avoiding a ban may result in further permanent action. 14. Operate a shared account. Sharing an account with another user will make conversation difficult should any of the account operators share a difference in opinion. Conflicting statements will impede our ability to help assist any single user on a shared account. Due to this, we request that each account is operated by a single, separate user. 15. Create forum posts that mention specific users in the title. Creating a new topic with the title specifically mentioning another user isn’t conducive to group discussion, especially if the targeted user isn’t comfortable responding in an open format. (For example, don’t make posts like “@usernamehere, why is x and not y?”) If you’re asking a question directly to another user, please do so using the inbox function on the forums. 16. Post Personal Information, or post links containing personal information. Sharing information about others can be harmful to their real-life. 17. Use forum features in unintended ways. Asking for likes, or making a game that incorporates the like/follow buttons artificially inflates user forum stats, making it difficult for other users to determine which content or user is contributing popular content to the site. 18. Discuss Moderator or Administrator actions Publicly. There are often reasons why a decision is made by a moderator or administrator that may be unclear to outside-parties, and off-topic discussion about an admin or moderator decision may be disruptive to a conversation. We politely ask that you trust and respect decisions made by staff. If you have an issue with a specific staff member, please report the matter to a Community Manager. 19. Impersonate Asylum Entertainment Staff or Moderators. When users seek assistance from moderators or Asylum staff, they shouldn't need to worry about encountering the possibility of dealing with an impostor. Always heed the official titles for staff roles on both the forums and discord to help avoid confusion. 20. Intentionally Spread False Information. Spreading rumors you know are falsified and portraying them as fact will only complicate Identity's development and serves to derail the actual constructive criticism offered by other users. Even accidentally giving out false information can be dangerous, so please ask a staff member or reference official statements (Dev Blogs for example). 21. Post or link to illegal, dangerous, offensive or NSFW content. Do not engage in activities that include (but are not limited to) the sharing of sexually explicit content, piracy, malicious code execution (viruses, malware, spyware etc.), gore. Please keep posts pertaining to the M-rated content in Identity reasonable. 22. Create or operate an account with the intention of solely boosting or supporting another user's reputation, poll votes, or opinions. We ask that all users contribute to the forums in ways that don't simply perpetuate someone else's particular viewpoint or account statistics. ***Moderators and staff have the final say on all matters. If you would like to report moderator abuse, contact a Community Manager directly. Creating public threads or posts that question or reference administrative decisions or potential administrative decisions is not permitted.*** ***Freedom of speech rights do not extend to privately owned websites, such as this one. These guidelines detail the types of behavior and activities that are allowed here.*** ***We reserve the right to deactivate any account and to edit or remove any content without warning. These guidelines are subject to change at any time without notice.*** ***If you have a question or suggestion about our User Guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact a moderator or admin and we will be glad to help in any way that we can.*** 3bdullah alzmeeeleee 6ree8 jbbbh #7mod mf95
