Yes you can stream or make videos of all 3 modules and beta. Keep in mind the modules are not the beta, they are essentially an alpha test.

Keep in mind that the Town Square also is the foundation for the rest of the game, so the modules after Town Square will be released faster.

The time draws near! In the last dev blog I sent out, I mentioned that we were going to announce the release date for our first playable game module, the Town Square. Those of you who follow our Twitter and Twitch streams will have already learned this date. It's a very exciting and important time for Identity; we're fast approaching the time where you'll first step foot in Identity's grand world. We've crunched all the numbers and can now say with fair confidence that the Identity Town Square module will be released, to all backers with a $30 or higher pledge, on this coming March 21st. What will you find in the Town Square? The Town Square is a social game module. You'll be able to create your character, which may be transferable to the retail game after release, and meet hundreds of other Identity backers in the town square of the clean and quaint city of Ash Hill. You'll be able to talk to those around you, add them to your phone contacts and have full phone and IM support to stay in touch. You'll find a completely functional cinema playing full movies around the clock, a karaoke bar to show off your skills (or see me making a fool of myself), a working restaurant, art gallery, shops and more. The biggest single feature is the housing system. You're getting a taste of the full and complete player housing mechanics that you'll find in Identity. Everyone will have access to a tiny apartment, but those who pledged for higher rewards will be able to check out and decorate their larger spaces. It's a preview of what you'll have in the full game. Invite friends to your place and party it up! After the initial release of the module, we'll continue to add features to the Town Square as they are completed in development for Identity. Barbershops and tattoo parlors will let you customize your character further. A garage will let you sample your vehicles. You'll even get to test your ability with firearms in the police shooting range before the SWAT module is released. For me, one of the most exciting parts of Town Square is just to get inside the game and finally get a feel for Identity and how it plays. Check out a few of the Town Square work-in-progress shots we've released in the past. It's been a long road for the development team here at Asylum, but we're almost there! Flexing our new manpower Productivity has skyrocketed with our new office. We're working better and there are now many more of us knocking out code and assets each day. Our programming team has expanded with Charles and we're still hiring more. We've brought three new and incredibly talented 3D artists on board as well as a new technical artist. Brandon, our new Community Manager, has been hard at work keeping you in the loop. These guys are all proving their worth each day and I'm extremely excited about where Asylum is going. Looking to the future With some of our Town Square art wrapping up now, we're beginning to shift a bit of our focus to the second module: SWAT. The SWAT module will be a team vs team competitive shooter using the combat mechanics you'll find in the full Identity release. Expect combat to be slower and more realistic than most similar games. You'll learn much more about this module as work progresses. Above is an MP5 sub machinegun which will be used by the SWAT forces. This particular model was created from scratch in a matter of days by one of our new artists, Dan. The awesome talent of our art team is undeniable! -- John VanderZwet

I will be accepting no salary as governor. Instead I will donate my cheque to the police force to keep them well paid without raising taxes to high levels. Unified Party The Unified Party is a Bipartisan political platform dedicated strictly to the creation and stabilization of a clean government choice and a thriving economy. Our goal is to prevent YOUR governance to be ran by a slew of children bending to the whim of criminal networks. The Unified party will ALWAYS stand direct to the majority populace of popular favor. Our representatives will not be swayed by dirty money, backroom politics, or standardized threats. Platform Policies Our platform polices will be and will remain always to support small government, the lowest possible tax rate, and Marijuana legalization to stimulate the economy. It is the right of the citizens to have the means to defend themselves against vagrant criminals. If we take the firearms out of the hands of the citizens we leave them defenseless against the criminal organizations that reign over black market economies. Where we believe in the capabilities of the police force, we also believe that an armed society, is a polite one. We will not be concerning ourselves with things of lesser consequence, such as jaywalking, or noise complaints. You won't see Draconian Laws or penalties under the Unification Party; We believe in Bipartisan policies, that benefit the community as a whole and endorse economic stimulation and growth. Our policies will always reflect these basic values and understandings, you won't be distracted with flashy websites to disguise corruption or totalitarianism. Sleight of Hand Don't fall prey to the sleight of hand tactics being utilized by other "fundamentalists" parties. You do NOT require high tax rates for a safe community. The citizens have a RIGHT to protect themselves with firearms. Business' shouldn't be taxed more because they make more. We believe in flat rate taxes across the board, unlike the majority of our competition that want to increase taxes dramatically dependent on your yearly income. The successful shouldn't have to pay for the unsuccessful, nor will they under the Unified Party. Don't fall victim to false politics, corrupted deals, and high tax rates. Unified The Unified Party is a stand against corruption. It's a champion for the legitimate citizen and business owner. We will not stand by idly and allow competing political parties to lord themselves over the civilians. We will not settle for the lesser of the two evils. Divided we fall, but UNIFIED WE STAND. A personal thanks to @Jax for designing and creating our insignia and helping the campaign along since it's creation.

( @YaLocalOreo ) well if you get the urge to RP you are more than welcome to come and RP the more the merrier.

( @YaLocalOreo )Yea if you want to rp with someone shoot them a pm and they will get back to you or if you want to rp with someone shoot them a pm. We are a cool group of peeps.

Hey, welcome! Just remember if you want the 100$ package to get it before town square, as after Town Square gets released on the 21st of March 2018, it and most other packages will not be available anymore, and the default 30$ package will rise in price significantly

Hi thanks for the reply, I will wait till almost then to purchase it.

Hi Charlespayne and welcome! You have to wait until the first module gets released. The first module (called Town Square) will be available on 21st March 2018.

[ @YaLocalOreo Yea I guess so, normally rp just wonders and you find people. Try and write an RP post, i'll go off of yours ]

The inventory will be a grid system which will likely call for some neatness on the player's part if they want to be able to utilize the full storage capacity. Very similar to the Deus Ex games. This will be the case for vehicle storage as well. However, the weight of an item will not bring effects on things such as vehicle performance. There won't be extra weight for the car and handling will remain the same regardless of what's inside storage-wise. Things like backpacks will be in the game and will be able to be used as a space for more storage. Example of Deus Ex's grid inventory system:

Officers and SWAT will have their own radio channel.

There’s an AI driven train like someone said, And players can drive a city bus

A new one

Yes we do and I choose not to post them...for members only

There will be a train that is driven by a AI. The transportation industry is confirmed please research the game or use the search bar before posting. The transportation industry was confirmed here. https://www.identityrpg.com/info/corp/

Great post! Thinking of applying for a position.

I voted!

You will be able to change clothings in a closet or wardrobe Im thinking you cannot take off or put on a backpack unless you do that at a closet Also the inventory space will be somewhat like arma (I think) but I know there will be a weight system that will have inventory slots and you can only enter that certain weight or size limit

You can store items in the trunk of your car where each item will then be visible to you as it fills up.

IDENTITY POLITICAL ORGANIZATION DEBATE Good day to you all. Today I just wanted to post about our plans for the debate and how you can see it when the time comes. We are currently working out the structure of the debate, but most likely it will be in the IPO discord through voice chat in the style of a town hall meeting. All debaters will be there ether as themselves or with a representative from the party who will speak for the party. The audience will be able to type up questions in the live debate questions channel where the moderator of the debate can ask the debaters questions that the audience wants to know. NOTE that all questions will have to be approved before asked. The main topics are still being decided, but the structure will most likely be a major topic then audience questions (5-10) More details about what those topics are will be sent out two days before the debate, giving the debaters a short time to figure out their arguments. We currently have 3 out of the 8 slots filled for debaters, I encourage any political party that wants to have a chance to have their voice heard to go to our discord and talk to one of our staff to sign up for the debate. If you haven't already joined the discord link will be at the bottom of this post! PLEASE NOTE: ALL DEBATERS MUST BE ABLE TO DO VOICE CHAT, OR IF THEY CANNOT AS A PARTY LEADER DO SO, HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE WHO WILL NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH THE PARTY LEADER DURING THE DEBATE. MODERATOR WILL NOT READ FOR DEBATERS!! As for the date and time of the debate, these are things that are still being determined, but we will inform you all when we are able to figure out a good time and date for all participants. The time frame for the debate will probably last somewhere from 1 hour to 2. And that's it, we will continue to inform you of more information once we are able to. You can also join the IPO discord to get current information about the debate as it comes out. We hope to all see you at the debate! LINKS: IPO DISCORD: https://discord.gg/3KWCQur

@NotGummyBear I always wanted to crack down on crime, I've revised the laws before due to how excessive they were. The more I learn about the game the more I revise. I'll speak with the devs, watch some more videos and look through my policies again. Thank you for analyzing.

Oh dear, oh dear Lucious, you seem to be struggling in the polls, I'm perfectly happy with my position in the polls, in fact I am rising every day in power, however the fact that you used to be basically unbeatable in the polls really does make me wonder if this is the beginning of the end for you? No offence intended, just wanted to hear your opinion on the new polls! -Marie-Clare Bouchard, Founder and President of "The Front National".

Long story short: Yes, you are allowed to stream it and make video content about it.

Great business model!

No you don't need mental health services or counseling your beyond that you need Jesus and the love of a caring parent. But you make a good point there should be an actual asylum in game for characters to plead insanity.

I am Christian myself, but I am also left, so I support the Christian Left. And that is much better than Catholicism. You will absolutly never support that. That's really sad.

At first they were a very small team of 3 devs working on the game. What happened was that Town Square was originally supposed to be its own isolated thing. But later they discovered that they can save much time by using Town Square as a baseline for future modules, it took longer but if done right, it should significantly cut time spent on modules 2 and 3. So it wont take years to develop. March 21 2018 is a realistic date that they can achieve now. They've denoted a good amount of time to both creating and playtesting. That being said, all businesses encounter hiccups from time to time, like if a systems programmer falls super ill for like a week while working on something critical to development progress. They've definitely given themselves a good buffer with this date, but there's always the aspect of the unknown that could delay things. BUT they're working crazy hard to meet this deadline, as fulfilling deadlines most certainly builds confidence. Also - every tuesday and thursday they're streaming progress on 3D Art, animations and things on their channel twitch.tv/identityrpg. You can watch Jade's (one of the Devs / Artists) stream as well as he's streaming like everyday on new models twitch.tv/leetperkins Once Town Square is released, the percentage goes up from 89% to 100%.

I think what a lot of people forget is that when the game was announced there was basically nothing but ideas, development started soon after building it up from scratch (which is why the first module has been taking so long.) Not only that, but the Town Square has been redone SEVERAL times, if you look at the TS page under the "About" tab, those are very old pictures of what it used to look like.

Believe it will be based of your time played as an officer. High command staff will be taken from a developer or any Identity staff member. This can be changed on private servers.

Im in Ohio, is that close enough?

support for candidate retracted

No matter how long we wait for the game, or new ideas come out...no matter anything, I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR!

nvm I decided not to join
