I don't like it when people complain about not getting info when the devs do Q and A's as well as have been giving us more Dev Blogs. Yes, we have been waiting a long time especially the Kick-starter backers. Unless people are the Kick-starter backers then I do not see why people complain because they have not been waiting as long as those guys have been and really those who don't pledge before complaining can't really complain either because they have nothing to lose really; however they can complain if they have waited and actually put money in. No one understands these days that 2 years is not enough for a game in development and I believe it is a minimum of 3 years to expect a game like this and really that is how development is, delays over more delays which is a good thing for the game but can be annoying for the backers because they have helped out early on. If the developers give us everything now about the game, what will there be to look forward to? I don't think there will be something we won't know about the game to look forward to after all and well also I want to look forward to trying everything out, but also not getting all that information now because I want to have hype when the game comes out. I however don't want to know everything about the game and so I have nothing to be excited for when playing the game. This is however my opinion and always will be above and below is a fact which has been seen lately. The more the community complains and asks for more content the more developers give in. The more the developers give in, is how much more the community members ask for more anyways. This is an endless cycle of "Give me more and I will be fine" but once the info has been given, the person asks for more again and won't stop. The more we get the more we want. Communities make games fall apart but also can make games strive. An example of a game falling apart partly by the community is "No Mans Sky": the "NMS" community pushed the developers to the brink which caused the game to not be completed like it was shown off as it would be, it was because the community pushed the devs to give a unfinished game. It also was caused by the publisher because they wanted the game out on a tight deadline, which happened to be that it didn't get finished by in which delayed the game. They still pushed it back too short of what the game needed with the community pushing for a game to be released and that pressure is hard to maintain after enough of it. I just wan the game to release like you guys and I have been waiting a long time like a lot of the community has and I can say that I have seen the developers here improve with PR over the last 6 months more than anything even though they are still a very small team with people working more than 1 job at a time. I hope everyone is happy when the module releases and the advice is if you are not happy with the little info we get then don't pledge until you are satisfied. Pledge if you understand we could get a big delay again but understand why and all the reason it is for a good reason but also if you want to help the devs out. Thank you if you read my ramble and I hope everyone understands. Cheerio and I hope I can answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.

I'm curious about your age. Please be honest. Nobody cares it's just curiousity. We can look it up in your profile anyway!

Hello everyone! Some of you might remember that I had a thread on the old forum with an Imgur album containing all pictures posted by the developers on Twitter and Facebook. I just wanted to let you all know, both those who might have seen it but had forgot about it, aswell as new people who found it just now that it still exists and is updated as soon as a new picture is released. You can access it here, feel free to use it (or not use it) however you like. Take care!

Hello all, My name is Logan, I am 19 and Im from UK, I was born in the US but moved to the UK! I have been following Idenity for a while now, and i will be putting money into the game to help out. I started playing roleplay on gmod and was instantly hooked, i then started owning servers such as santosrp and perp. I am so exited for the realise of this game and each day i get more exited. I would love to start to get to know the community and i hope you guys can be people i get to know!! - Logan

Name: Bruce (I dont give my actual name lol) Age: 16 Hobbies: Gaming. Thats literally it i have over 3000 hours on Skyrim, 400+ Fallout 4, Garry's Mod 1800+, CS:GO 225+, Fallout: New Vegas 170+, Rust 175+. Personal Crap: Im a sophomore for 2 more weeks, i have a ton of dogs and live in America. I have no clue why im writing this crap its not like anybody cares that i have doggos and live in 'merica. Feelings About Identity: I am so freaking excited for this game even though it probably wont be out for at least a couple months. Im a little late on the hype train though i only got aboard a couple months ago because i saw it on a top 20 RPG's to look forward to in 2017. Im trying to talk my best friend into getting the game but hes not much for rp as much as fps's so i might need to find an apartment buddy from whatever server i choose to go on. So yea cool cool thats me Bruce and yea fun stuff cant wait.

NOT SURPRISED

I think he meant that the point is that "Star Citizen" had a lot more funding and has a lot more devs working on it because of that and it was scheduled for a release years ago and got delayed 2 times already. They got over $1 million as of kickstarter and that was many many years ago, yet it was delayed and so he is asking for people not to compare games with out a real reference. I am not sure if this is what he means or if he means stop complaining about everything.

1. if you can craft it you can sell it. 2. possible 3. nah, both partners are humans but instead of knowing eachother and deciding by theirself if they want to live ingame with eachother they have to stay in a radius of 100 meters to eachother (for 2 years) to be able to have a first date. if they are more than 100 meters away from eachother they have to do i again kappa. 4.

hallo erstmal. schön zu wissen dass wir hier im englischen forum nicht die einzigen sind welche sich sehr auf das spiel freuen, doch ich würde gerne erfahren ob ihr von den entwicklern die erlaubnis habt deren url unter einer anderen top level domain zu verwenden. wenn nicht wäre es am besten die forenmoderatoren dembezüglich zu kontaktieren (ich empfehle @HairyGrenade. er ist sehr freundlich und meiner meinung nach am hilfreichsten), den durch diese würde die anfrage eher an die entwickler gelangen. und in zukunft bitte in englisch (das ist dein zweiter deutscher thread zu eurer webseite in einem englischen forum) mit freundlichen grüßen, shimozukachi

Hello @captainspikester, i've send you a message regarding your question why your post got removed. I hope i could help you with that

No, I am saying they can't really complain unless they have really pledged but also why should they complain if people who have waited much longer than them and they are being more patient than the ones who come late. Complaining don't/ won't make the game or info come quicker. I am saying don't pledge if you will just complain because of lack of info or delays.

So people aren't allowed to complain about waiting because other people have waited longer? That's like not being allowed to complain about losing your finger because some person lost his whole arm.

would you fit? Imma need one or two for formal events.

A lot of under 18 players

All that is wise thinking, however, we don't know if players in the game will be affected! Plus, legal Marijuana isn't a choice, the devs already said it will be legal!

That's a possibility!

My Governor Campaign Timeline Honesty, something that I feel will help clear all worry and negativity! In the beginning, when I first joined the forums I looked through the Podium and saw two Governor candidates, @ThomasHetch and @JoelKeys ! I've always loved politics so I looked into their campaigns. Joel was doin great fas ar as policy's appeal to the people and Thomas' popularity was just amazing! This is when I decided to start my campaign! So...I began with making the foundations of my Political Party; The Royal Family Party! After I had built the foundations conversations positive and negative had begun! I felt I needed a solid support system that could back me up no matter what. Someone who would be praising of my campaign and critical to the others; a simple game of political war! Idiotic enough I was, I went to the gangs. At that time I felt gangs are loyal and as an elected official I could help protect them from the law! Even though then I didn't like criminals I was more concerned about getting into a position to where I could impact the law for the good of the Island! Several gangs contacted me, I had willing supporters left and right! Then I took the time to think and realized I didn't want to be working with already declared criminals! I then returned to the Podium where I continued my proper campaign, but before long a few more governor candidates showed up...like @BobbyCruz . With that, a few of my previous gang related ideas floated back to surface! My University, laws, political party, etc weren't being discussed. Recently I'd been on the battlefield throwing all the defensive statements I could throw. But then I thought for a minute. Would I be worried if my leader had had activities with gangs...? Answer is yes! That's why NO GANG RELATED, MOB RELATED, ILLEGAL ACTIVITY RELATED MEMBERS ARE ANY LONGER PART OF THE ROYAL FAMILY! @BobbyCruz and I have different views just as all of us candidates do. But, we agree on one thing for sure...and that's the certainty that our leaders aren't corrupt. So to give credit, Bobby was right in his suspicion, right for putting it in the light, right for continuing to give his advice! I currently have great support towards my campaign, between @FatherOfLoyalty and @Dylan_Heisner the campaign continues to flourish! I'll admit, I want to have a great political experience in the game! I'm going to continue this campaign and pray it continues to succeed! May the odds be in the favor of all us candidates!

You're always in line to recive my gratitude! Thanks you very kindly!

I'm aware it's not a big deal...none of this is! I was just curious!

Why is there so little Political Discussion? It in truth...surprises me!

I find favor in this here "Anonymous"! For Anonymous (in real life) has always had my interest!

I'm not being defensive, I'm doing you the kindness of giving you an explanation! And as I said I'm not corrupt! Just because I accept support doesn't make me corrupt. It's not kind to sling around words like that!

I'm like Trump and Obama in one my friend! ?

Frank has been good to us and I ensured he would have all his members back together due to the fact that he can't post! It was simply a favor. So don't assume I actively recruit criminals for fun like some fool. You wanna call me corrupt then call me corrupt! I know what I am. No slick talking cliche politician is gonna change that! And like myself and my manager just stated, we didn't state any one supported us. We stated that he was in OUR good grace. Please, read before you post. Your advice is to run a clean campaign, how's that going for you Bobby? I run my game campaign the way I see if. If I openly accept aid from criminals then so be it! I'll be committing no crimes if that's what you mean to imply! Remember this is a game and my policies work the best. Nobody wants the stress of the real world in a game. Stick to being slick Bobby. Run your campaign and I'll run mine. You wanna be the cliche politician go ahead. Don't get in a social brawl for what you feel may be a shot at my campaign.

....top quality.....

I was going to suggest additional split. 40+ really should be something more like: 40 - 50 50 - 60 60 - 70 70+ But out of the results it doesn't really seem to make much sense so far. It also tells something about how far is still OP from his forties (who I admit not having checked in his profile) But I'll tell you something: age doesn't necessarily pulls you out of gaming. Looks like this particular genre is not that attractive for this age though, while we have other genres certainly crowded. Just a curiosity.

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.
