Hello Identity Backers, Thank you for pledging towards the development of Identity! Our records indicate that a pledge was made from this email address and that you're interested in project updates. This month in development Wow, what a month. It's been busy here at Asylum as usual, so let's get down to the interesting stuff! As expected, our current focus is on the Town Square so that we can get it out to you as soon as possible. We're finalising the interior of the library and art gallery (shared within one building) and adding polish to the environment. Once the clothing store interior is complete following that, the Town Square environment is ready to go. We'll continuously be adding more art after release though; specifically for house furnishings, decorations and clothing. In addition to the environment art, Miroslav (character artist) has been creating all sorts of hair assets which allow us to show hair appropriately when wearing a hat or helmet. This is a big task for him as it means making variations to match the hat options for each length of hair, but in the end it'll ensure your hair always looks as you'd expect when wearing headgear. Hair under a hat; work in progress Right next to the clothing shop you'll find a bicycle store where you can get a sneak preview of some of the bikes you'll be able to ride around in the full Identity release. We showed you a bicycle work in progress last blog post and now you can see the finished result of that below. This image will give you a rough idea of the detail level you'll see in Identity's vehicles. Ridable bicycle With more final systems coming online for the Town Square release, we now have functioning phones. Each player will start with a cellphone, although you'll be able to upgrade it with three mobile OS options available. The phone OS' each have a unique and interesting style. Characters also have a designated phone number assigned when they're created; you'll be able to get a custom number for a fee. These phones work just as you'd expect. You're able to dial up another player and speak with voice remotely. Businesses can even get a business line which, when called, will contact a member of that corporation who's online. Shot from an internal system test: advertising While the art of the billboard above isn't final, it gives you a very good idea of what you can expect in Identity for advertising. That's right, you can really publish messages around the world through billboards and other means. Corporations and those running for government office can purchase billboard space to help get their message out. You'll select a graphical template from a large list of options and then attach a brief message or other customization to make it your own. These billboards can also be moderated by the server operators. There are other similar advertising systems, too. For example digital road signs can be made to show custom messages by the current government. We can't wait to show you more of Identity, and we'll soon have that opportunity with the release of an overhauled website. Those current pledge packages are about to go away forever, and some of the rewards won't be available for purchase again after the new website changes. Also, follow us on our Twitch channel if you'd like to stop in and ask questions of the developers. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you'll find a few developers playing a random game from 4pm EST to 5pm EST. Ask any questions and they'll be happy to answer on stream. Catch some of Identity's developers hard at work and see how they make the magic happen: we'll be providing development streaming dates and times on Twitter, soon! -- John VanderZwet Let's Make Identity Great! Identity's development is going great thanks to the support of people like you, but systems like these take a lot of manpower and resources to create. Identity has an awesome community behind it, but when more people know about what we're creating and our budget grows from pledges, we can not only work faster but we can do more, too. If you're as excited to play Identity as we are making it, help spread the word. The gaming industry has needed a game like Identity for too long; let's make it great together!

Guys I forgot here is the Karaoke machine they showed today at the end of the twitch stream. https://gyazo.com/4bf799ce49f130beae2184cbf89869b0

Hey @Lexan @Tanner_ @CareKajze @Cuuka Thank you for your praise but I think the whole community here does very much a lot too and I think they deserve as much praise as me. This whole community is welcoming like no other I have heard and well that is also something; however like @JamesLuck01 said, that cookie is too delicious and so I will be eating mine alone, however you guys can have a different one . Also I think I would not be here helping as fast as I do without the community being such a great asset as a whole. You guys help out a lot and are worth the time to me as this is a fantastic community to be a part of and so I will be here and do what I do best, help everyone out as much as I can. It also however is in my nature to help people out as it is my personality. Have fun and see you in the TS module hopefully. (PS: I will eat your cookies if you don't eat them first ) Kind regards, LuckyDuck.

" The gaming industry has needed a game like Identity for too long; let's make it great together! " So true SOON

@CareKajze That cookie looks too delicious to share.

if i was a betting man, July 1st. but i could honestly see them doing a weekday release since less people would be able to get on since alot of people work during weekdays, would be easier on the servers without knowing how they will handle

Its so EXCITING!

Warning: If you are going to watch their twitch stream, expect a boatload of "Wheres strife" or "Strife or riot"

" We're finalising the interior of the library and art gallery (shared within one building) and adding polish to the environment. Once the clothing store interior is complete following that, the Town Square environment is ready to go. " SOON

Light hearted joke it was not. Insult it was to be. HMM.

Thank you for your kind words, @Lexan Realy appreciate it. There is nothing to add to the words of @LuckyDuck: We as a community

I just wanted to add which I forgot for my "OP": I forgot to add that; "We as a community" are all a part of shaping the community into how it is today and not just one member. We Moderators may add the finishing touches but it is the community as a whole which makes up how it shapes itself!

This cookie look tasty :q

Welcome to the forums and thanks for the pledge!

It's true, I have been here for quite some time now but I am not that active here as I am on Reddit or Discord. Literally every thread or question asked he is always there to help people. Good job mate, you deserve a cookie! P.S. James and others you can share this cookie with LuckyDuck

Positions: (all interviews will be done in-game in person, PM me for more info on anything regarding positions, or anything in this post for that matter, or if interested in a job) Logo Design Artist (filled) Logo Design Artists/Experts will be our guys on the front lines on both the forums and the in-game world. They will provide logo and brand designs that will help your company and/or storefront really pop out and outshine any competition. Bob Ross Inc only employees logo designers with an impeccable skill set, with only the mindset of making your company shine. You can trust our team of dedicated experts to provide your business with a logo that everyone will soon know and love. Store Artistic Advisers (2-4 needed, depending on volume of customers) For this position, it is highly recommended that you know a fine bit about art, and are able to easily converse with customers and recommend available art pieces to the customer based on their preferences and budget. Once the customer is satisfied with their choice of art piece(s), it is up to you to close the purchase and offer a bill of sale to confirm both the sale and the art's originality. The salary for this position is purely dependent on the quantity and quality of the art pieces you sell. make sure to log the amount of sales you make per day and verify this with copies of your bill(s) of sale(s), only to be handed in directly to me (the CEO) at the end of the day, or if I am not present, the store manager, and if not present so on down the chain of command. Art Promoter (5 needed) You will constantly be on the road, visiting different towns and cities to make sure our client's art pieces are appropriately displayed. Visit wealthy parts of town and museums or public places such as high-end restaurants or business parlors, and negotiate price ranges to ensure that the client's art piece may be displayed at that location. Organize business meeting and discussions. For lack of a better term, do EVERYTHING within your power to get our clients art out and about and known around the world. The more famous it becomes, the more it sells for, and the more you, the salesman, make in profit. Much like the Store Artistic Adviser, your salary is purely dependent on the Quantity and Quality of the art you sell. make sure to log the amount of sales you make per day and verify this with copies of your bill(s) of sale(s), only to be handed in directly to me (the CEO) at the end of the day, or if I am not present, the store manager, and if not present so on down the chain of command. Custom Artist (An art piece that YOU made must be present at the interview for verification of your skill)(No More Positions!) Possibly one of the hardest positions to fill at our company, it will also be the most rewarding, both financially and personally. You will be tasked with creating custom art pieces upon customer request. This may involve the customer in question sitting down in a pose or stature, and you captivating that figure onto the canvas, or possibly the customer conveying what they want verbally, and you taking notes and later creating the very masterpiece they desire. This position requires serious artistic skill and is not suited for everyone. Art/Literature Teacher This position as well is very suited to that of the artistically creative, as well as to the charisma and teacher within you. Not only must you be able to paint at a near expert level (not equivalent to that of the custom artist but admirably close), you must also be able to convey your skills upon your pupils in a way that makes them a fine creator, while at the same time not completely giving away your artistic secrets. The same would apply for the Literature professor, as you would have to be able to have great linguistic skill as well as knowledge in editorial and other correctional skills, obviously, all required in this profession. Staff CEO/Founder: @KingBen1223 Chief Editor (In Charge of the Literature Aspect of Bob Ross Inc): @WhtGhstBlckGhst Custom Artist (5/5, but still feel free to apply): @Broccoli, @mrbeardma, @KiddoRampage , @lemonsxorange, @J-REMY Art/ literature Professor : @WhtGhstBlckGhst (Literature) 1 MORE NEEDED FOR ART TEACHER Art Promoter: 5 STILL NEEDED Store Artisitc Advisers: 5 STILL NEEDED Logo Designer: @whitehorn MORE POSITIONS ON THE WAY!!! (PM me if you are avid in a specific art, yet it has not been included in this post, and I'll be sure to add it to our services and staff positions) Application (Post in Comments below or PM me) Name: Timezone: Job that you are applying for: Experience (an art piece that YOU made must be shown if applying for Custom Artist or Art Tutor): What makes you more deserving of the job than anyone else: And that's it! Please PM if interested in any positions, or if you want to get a head start in the more artistic positions of Bob Ross Inc, PM a piece of digital art that you have created (please provide proof that you have created it, I.E signature, watermarks *DISCLAIMER* Bob Ross Inc. Promoter of the Arts is in no way related to nor derived from Bob Rosstm , rather we are a fictional store within a fictional setting selling pieces that we made for fictional money.

I propose this subject so that we all help to create / modify your logos for free, Until the release of the game. Preferably logos and signature for a company or other! Not for any purpose other than for this game. Of course I put my help at your disposal, but everyone can contribute and help! This is the purpose of this topic ! (Until the release of the game, because the other artists and I will charge our services in game, for my part anyway) ! " A logo reflects the values and quality of your business. It is the first link between the customer and you. A poor quality logo, not worked, with bad colors or bad layout will not attract the customer. On the contrary, a simple, clear and timeless logo will attract a wide range of customers ! " _______________________________________ List of works : JamesLuck01 : Canceled. Mattrock607 : Finished.

First off I'd like to say stoked I am for this game. I made sure yo pledge 30$ but I just feel it deserves more support from me(which it will be getting) I'd like to give a thanks to the devs for making a game we have al been waiting for, and for being close yo this community. Can't wait wait yo use my passport!

i like this

I'm probably not the only one wandering this, but when is the next dev update or post? I believe there is one like once a month or that's what I thought. I'm always excited to see a new dev post, or update and see the progress the team has made. I can't wait for the release of this game, and I understand that nothing comes fast. But keeping the backers in the loop is always greatly appreciated.

You mean July?

Not this week.

It really is! I'm mostly sure that we will receive the module this week, if not -- this month.

so, your names James huh

Weclome swnotor we are all excited hope we meet in-game. Sincerly

Cliche, but hopefully honest! I would be willing to give to the church as I'd already intended on doing! As Governor it'd only make sense!

I question, is this meant to be legitimate? I'd hate to see a man use God for only for his personal gain!

Welcome here Holyfather !

You will be fine... Just enjoy yourself here!!

This might be the incorrect place for this topic, but i really want to praise LuckyDuck for his great work on this community, i see him in every topic, he is extremely active and really cool with everyone, i just wanted to say that sorry if you were expecting something else haha but again, thanks Lucky you are doing an amazing job!! All the moderators are!!

Great! I run them all at 60 fps. I am planning to upgrade sometime soon. Thanks for the help

Love the chocolate.. Edit : Yes, we are a community, but you contribute enormously to its proper functioning, you are very present, and always ready to answer all the questions. You are humble (but at the same time, it is normal that you do not want to put yourself forward) Very good moderator work

Hello @Codes320 and welcome to the Identity community. Feel free to read the 2 FAQ's which you can find in my Signature. They provide good information about the Game. If you have any questions regarding the community or the game and which answer you can't find in the forums, feel free to contact me. What kind of business will it be? Something serious or something, lets say, less serious business Enjoy your stay here -Radack

Welcome to the forum!

Hello to all international identity fans out there! Today we are very happy to finally release our Identity Developer Q&A. Motown, developer and community Manager of IdentityRPG was so nice to answer a total of 22 questions regarding Identity. All questions where asked by you guys. The Second Identity Team would like to thank Motown for taking his time and answering these questions. Have fun reading! English Q&A: https://secondidentity.net/wcf/index.php?article/22-english-identity-developer-q-a-with-motown/ German Q&A: In Translation...

Well it accumulates and you get more stiff once the game comes out. As for a pc build with a 2k budget you are in the clear. The motherboard as well as cpu will be about 3-6 depending on it or I7. As for the Gpu, that's where I say the 1070 or 1080 anywhere from 300-600. Watercooling the cpu, another 200. Ram, and ssd, about 500. This is all I'm USD as I live in the states. Not sure how much those parts are over seas.

I'd love to wake up and have a walk down to the coffee shop

I agree, @LuckyDuck you're what makes this forum the forum it is today Thanks!

Well depends on your budget. I will help you out, and same pledged 30 planed to pledge 30 every month

thank you

Id love a coffee

Can't wait to have my coffee

The devs awnsered a question like this on twitter, i'll see if I can find a link later.

It depends on the server. On official servers there are no age limits or surveys from what I heard but past crimes and actions will be held accountable for. On private servers it is up to the owner on what happens, he came make it exactly like Altis and have a age limit for all the devs care but it will still have to be somewhat similar to the original intended gameplay. Hope this helped!

The issue could be resolved by providing players with the ability to submit the currency through an ATM-like machine rather than remaining dependent on the player to attain the wealth. I.E. the owner or an employee of a gas station is unavailable at 2:30AM. Thus, the consumer purchases gas from a machine, identical to a vending machine. *Deposits $20 in order to attain $20 worth of fuel/gas*

500 bucks is the cost of a PC needed to run this game
