From messages in Identity's official discord (https://discord.gg/ffZ4bX8) it has been confirmed by Beach Ball that tomorrow there will be a Dev Blog with the release date in it! The Devs have been working hard and also plan to release a gameplay footage video sometime next week hopefully On top of all of this, they are making their own anti-cheat so that it is perfect for Identity. What town square will include, in the words of BeachBall the community manager, "town square is pretty much what the name implies, get to check out stuff regarding housing (apartments), cinema, karaoke, social aspect stuff." Later on will come the SWAT Module, which will include some guns to include gunfights to the game, then next should be the racing module, with streets, racetracks and cars. I trust most of you (like me) will be really glad to hear all this See you all in the module Edit: Just to clarify IF for any reason they choose that they need a slight delay, don't be discouraged, it will come Double Edit: More confirmation it should be on the 31st

If only they knew

Hey, wanted to update the polls for the current list of runners and parties, if I missed anyone can you please let me know so I can add it. Wanted to use this to get a general idea of the well political identity of the community that will be going into Town Square. Polling ends 11/6/2017 at 12pm EST

A good game is a game that has been polished and has had effort put into it... just make yourself busy with something else till you can try the modules or even play the full game.

As long as one overstands that democracies cannot coexist with capitalism considering that capitalism serves the interests of the "individual" while a democratic system serves the interests of the "majority" or "whole". Communism serves the interests of the whole while Socialism serves the interests of the majority. Thus, democratic systems are much more aligned with the Left.

Sounds pretty good to me, seeing as how everyone wants everything from this game and expects so much I'm not complaining. Stream was decent.

Hey everyone, my name's Brumafriend. I'm from the United Kingdom and got this game a while ago but forgot about it until recently. Now that the game's nearing release, I wanted to greet you all & intend to be an active member of the community.

In Canada, where they are based its Currently 11:20am on the 31st of Oct. The Dev blog is being written as we speak with the release date info.

Thanks (:

Yes, you can break out, people can break you out but beware cops will swarm the place in no time I am sure. You can craft makeshift weapons in prison, sell contraband, and do various jobs or do other various lot of things.

For official servers you will have to complete a tutorial and have a slot available Like @GrandmaGlock said. Private servers will love to have you if you have real life experience and will have a custom training and recruitment system like @Dimmies said. I would recommend learning and experiencing the game on official servers first while communities are made and you can find one to stick with :).

The game trailer confirmed, patrol, SWAT, detective, and DEA. Things can change over time though, especially two years.

Yeah, I was worried people would just see that. It has to be said, but I highly doubt it won't be tomorrow

Damn... you must be really excited

HELLO TO ALL THE NEW PEOPLES, WELCOME TO THE GREAT IDENTITY COMMUNITY.

Honestly, at least the developers are polite when addressing concerns, it's the community that have a problem with people who express concern or highlight the developer's accountability. That being said, most of those people are fairly recent backers (a year or so back, give or take) and don't really comprehend that many of us have been waiting for at least double that time. It's why I've stopped voicing an opinion on anything at all. If anything killed my hype, it's not the devs, its the self-proclaimed vanguards of their development process that aggressively respond to any criticism of their lack of meaningful updates with posts like 'Stop criticizing the devs' 'try making the game yourself' 'why don't you get a refund and leave' 'Do you know how long it takes to make a game like this' 'I'm sick of posts asking about x and y'. It's a handful of people, and they know who they are... It's not a constructive way of responding to curious or concerned backers, and I think those members of the community need to behave with a little more tact. Edit: And the developers SHOULD try and listen to their community and the people who have contributed to their project, in response to @Rinyuaru-Kun... The release date's announcement was promised by them for this month, and in my opinion, yes, they should keep their word.

Sorry if this is already answered, but would you be able to be a film crew, with your own cameras and have a TV station? Seems like it could be fun to do with friends

Disregard this post, and it's contents. I'm working on a new character concept. Which hopefully will be much cooler! While, I was always aware there would be no FBI available in the game since before I made these. I never intended to take it as far as I did. Anyway, thanks for all the great RP. And I'll hope to see you all in the Social Module on March, 21st! (Click the images to enlarge.) Out-Of-Character Please note, this is an In-character document, available only to the police force. However, I don't mind if any outside sources should get their hands on this, and possibly use it against my character. It's all a part of the fun and games, and any good RP story needs something dramatic. I would also really love some feedback on these documents. Please know I reserve the right to change these documents at any time, without notice. Feel free to post here, or PM me with any questions. You can also view the whole high-quality album here. Thank you!

March 21st

If "The People's Revolutionary Party" will become a governor, we will gladly support him. Greetings Comrade and Chairman Maurice Clinton

Cya in 2021 for full release

Not that far! I'm happy!

Since I'm a lion I guess I'll dress up as a man!

The release date for the 1st Module will be announced in todays Dev-Blog. Because this thread is no longer needed, i will close it for now.

Welcome to Identity, get involved...politics is a great start to get with an active community.

Count me in

So you got out huh, I see you don't have a weapon. So if you're not gonna kill me, what are you gonna do? Marco is sitting in the living room eating pizza with D I live in our old car for fucks sakes, I know you're the guy to go to when you in a tight situation. Marco leans back in his chair Now that's what I like to hear, but after last time... Yeah I know, I got pinched and you couldn't do anything about it. D interupted Four years ago Capital Bank Raleigh, NC Shit feds are here. D says to Marco and Jack AL-FUCKING-RIGHT, PEOPLE, WHO THE FUCK CALLED THE POLICE Jack yells at the hostages No one's stepping up to the plate huh, M, grab the scanner. Marco brings a device that looks like an old metal detector with a few new mods Jack scans all the hostages and it beeps on a guy in a black suit *BOOM* the police bust through the back door You got lucky bud, lesson here, don't fuck with bank robbers. Jack fires some shots into the lobby and some feds fall to the floor We have fucking hostages don't come closer. 10 minutes later The boys make their way out of the bank with a large score they all get into different cars D gets into the 300zx Marco and Jack manage to escape D gets into a police chase He hits a spike strip on the highway and stops 4 months ago D is making his way through a sewers in a prison jumpsuit He comes up to an opening 3 months ago D is at a bar drinking, on TV news of Marco's heist comes on a policeman on the TV says that there were four guys one was wearing a black dragon mask D remembers Marco's old car with a black dragon on the side It's worth a shot Present So that's how you found me huh, from my old car. Yeah, but anyway... Hey Marc, you might wanna see this on the TV the hockey stadium is surrounded by cops the reporter describes the whole incedent this is getting out of hand, Sanchez get some corrupt cop on the line. ( @UnknownX nice one, @BarrettSimms PM me if you got any ideas on what Marco should do with the police. RP a little empty huh.)

Oddly enough I find this hilarious that I'm trying not to laugh ?? it's just the way you present it haha

Welcome . You came at a good time with town square near, hope you enjoy your stay

That's amusing, since the most famous political party of History was the German National Socialist party in the 30's

Thanks, will update now.

Looking forward to seeing what's coming up, and to see the release daste of the Town Square of course

I agree that quality requires all the time it takes. Better to wait for a good product to use rather than having the satisfaction of starting, but being disappointed and having trouble using it. Anyway, I think that having an exploratory version, even defective and incomplete, can help developers find errors and bugs faster through users reports... so I hope to see the "test" version soon, testing it to improve it

The People's Revolutionary Party has officially produced an "ANTI-RIGHT COALITION" with "The Radical Democratic-Left Party".

Ah, yes of course! Spoke to you multiple times nice to see a similar face. Really love this post too keep it up!

We have now launched a brand new website! Click the text above to visit! We will also no longer be accepting applications to join our team via Google Forms. Instead, we will be using our own, brand new form submission system! Please take a look at the new website and let us know what your thoughts are on it!

I will happily lawfully represent this family.

It's this behavior that honestly has turned me away from really having a vested interest in the development of this game. I appreciate that you're trying to stick up for the developers, but they really REALLY do not need your help. I prefer hearing a response from them addressing issues (and I'm sure new backers, or people who are on the fence regarding whether to back the project or not) would agree with me. In my opinion, you're doing the game more harm than good. If people want to complain to the developers, okay, that's fine, they can do that... I'm very confident in the developer's abilities to respond and not cave into any 'pressure'. In the end, the developers will release the game when they feel it's ready to be released, yes, I agree with that; and that's precisely the point... No amount of criticism is going to FORCE them to release the module in a state that they would not want us to experience. They don't have a publisher breathing down their neck regarding meeting release dates (Publishers being the only people, at this point in development, capable of really pressuring them to release anything). TL;dr: I have faith in the publishers being able to release the module without feeling any 'pressure' from criticism, as they've proven they're professional with regards to handling negative comments and criticism, they don't need anyone to stick up for them/aggressively respond to anyone on their behalf. Again, this is all my opinion, and should not be considered as me trying to stop you from what you do, you're entitled to behave how you see fit... I just think that this particular behavior has harmed the production of this game more than it has benefited it, and I'm speaking from my personal hype (I'm a $100 backer, from Kickstarter).

@Narc I assume you mean "The Rare Breed" and "Rare Breed". It becomes a gray area of the law just like having a restaurant called The McDonald would be. If they are too similar, then yes, it becomes an issue. The only thing is as long as the developers take down the name when asked/brought to their attention, they won't get in trouble. The worst that would probably happen is the person will be visited but if the devs take it down it might not be worth pursuing.

"Susan!" Explosion was heard as he laid on the ice with his hand out reaching out to her. "No!" He lowers his head as a tear fall from his eye. "You.....you monster!" "No no names White Mask...but thank you for the compliment." White Mask Laughs walking off the ice with Bob the Butcher. Simms yells in rage and slams his fist down on the ice getting to his feet. Breathing heavy Simms stands there looking at where his family once ways, he then turns around Seeing the two criminals make their way towards the exit. White Mask would turn around and wave by towards Simms as Simms reaches into his shoulder holster pulling his pistol and aiming it towards White Mask. White Mask tilted his head looking at Simms and then quickly jumps in front of Bob the Butcher way as Simms pulls the trigger back sending rounds down towards White Mask. Walking towards them Simms keeps pulling the trigger as the bullets blast into the back of Bob the Butchers back. White Mask would hold Bob up like a shield taking all the bullets that flew towards him. 'Click, click, click, click, click, click' Bobs body would go limp from the many gun shots to the back. White Mask would let Bobs body go as it falls to the ground. As White Mask stands there watching Bob lifeless body lay on the ground and then over at Simms. "Damn Rambo!" Simms would Yell and tossing his empty gun towards White Mask's head but he would duck out of the way watching the gun past him. "Nice throw Nolan Ryan!" He laughs turning back towards Simms only to see him charging at him."AHHHHHH!" Simms yell but White Mask would quickly run and head upstairs to the nose bleed section on the ice arena."There no place to run or hide anymore White Mask. The SWAT team is here and your ass is MINE!" Simms ran after White Mask but of course White Mask would just laugh as he ran. They reach the top of the nose bleed sections only to see White Mask run back to the seating area of the arena. Simms would give chase watching him where he went, but he was still feeling the affects of the baseball bat to the knees. Simms walked to the top of the stairs standing there not seeing White Mask anywhere by the seats. "Where did you go?" White Mask appears behind Simms. "Poof here I am" Simms would turn around just in time as White Mask would tackle him down the stairs. They tumble down the stairs all the way down to the front row as the railing stops them. Both of them are tangled and laying on each other but of course that crazy ass White Mask just laughed laying there. Simms got to his feet slowly grabbing White Mask by his collar jacket as he sat there laughing. Simms grabbed the mask and ripped it off his face tossing it over the railing. He pulls his arm back making a fist and then slams his fist into his face repeatedly. "You" He slams his fist into his face again. "Killed" and again "my" again "Wife" and again "My Daughter" again and again. White Mask would just laugh the whole time as his face was covered in blood. White Mask would just laugh spiting up blood. Simms picked him up and held him against the railing. The SWAT team finally reached them surrounding the stair ways with their guns drawn. Simms would turn around and lets go of White Mask, finally seeing the SWAT team here. He smiled and turned around the bloody White Mask started to climb over the railing. Simms quickly grabbed him as he started to fall but misses. White Mask laughs as he falls but his foot gets caught between the railing and hangs upside with his foot caught. Simms grabbed his leg as the bloody White Mask hangs laughing. "Your Not getting away that easy." Simms says pulling him up, and tosses him back down on the ground. the SWAT team moves in and handcuffs White Mask. They would lift him up and escort White Mask to paddy wagon and off to jail, as a few other SWAT members would check out Simms making sure he is ok. A few minutes later the EMTS are wrapping White Mask face up with bandages. Simms looks over at the hand cuffed White Mask sitting in the back of the ambulance as SWAT surrounded him. White Mask looked over at Simms leaning against the squad car with a blank around him and a ice pack on his head. White Mask would give Simms a slow clap as best as he could being handcuffed. Once the EMTS were done with White Mask he was escorted to the paddy wagon and then off the Jail. The beat down Simms watched the paddy wagon leave and then lowers his head tossing the ice pack to the ground. He removes the blanket around his shoulders and walks to his car. He climbs in and turns to see Tommy Two times getting put into a squad car. He then looks down at his badge and pulls it off his belt and looks at. A tear falls from his eyes as he flicks his badge into the passenger side of his car and takes off into the night. (Hey Thanks @UnknownX for helping me write this it was cool to talk to you and work this SL out. can't wait to see what we can do next and also thanks for helping my Char. development. Im sure we will cross paths soon thanks again bro.)

inb4 delayed

Hmhmmm shame, so many of them wanna be mods, and so few of them show any inclination to actually help.

Not just the developers, but the handful of people in the community that feel the need to put people down constantly because of posts expressing concern or accountability on a dead line the devs set and fail to meet time after time.

They SHOULD be listening. This isn't them releasing a video (the last one was delayed by atleast 4 months) , this isn't them releasing the module (which has been delayed by almost a year now), this is them releasing a RELEASE date. It would be very pathetic if they couldn't give us a date in the same month they told us they would. A new low for the devs.

So the Devs shouldn't shouldn't listen to anyone that quotes them because in your opinion anyone that attempts accountability is wrong and should be shamed. Your go to weapon, you do it every time. Also its got nothing to do with rushing the devs, people post topics like this because of the repeated patterns of unrealistic goals and announcements. Anyone that has been following this since 14 would be hard pressed to say that there isn't an issue.

watch the release date be in December or next year

3D modeling can be difficult to get into, especially when you go into programs like Maya or 3DS Max, the UI is insanely intimidating. Check out some of my stuff! https://brendan3d.com/portfolio/

It seems like your one problem might not be much of a problem after all. In Identity, it's mostly just low influence (mostly cosmetic) items which cannot be lost. Things like your debit card, your clothing, and so on. Items which don't give you a strength but instead offer convenience. Most other things can indeed be lost. If you die out in the woods because you thought you could fist fight a bear then you might not have lost much, as there's a good chance you could get back to that place before everything despawns. When someone else is around though, they can loot your corpse and take what's dropped. This is mostly an issue of convenience, and we go for a balance of such versus risk. We fully understand that for life to be exciting, death has to be scary. At the same time, why make people go back to their closet and change their outfit over and over again?
