Family matters It was just a month ago that we announced the official release date for the Town Square module. Since then, we've been hard at work turning that promise into a reality. Team expansions, UI drama, family additions and a whole new Unreal Engine amounted into a crazy time! For me, the biggest news this month was the arrival of my second beautiful daughter, Aria, on the 19th. It's been a lot of fun and not as sleepless as I expected. It meant a week off for me although the team in the office hadn't skipped a single beat while I was away. My week away was the first week of work for two new developers here at the office. Andrew (McWOLF), a gameplay programmer, and Artur (Archer), a UI/UX designer and developer have joined the team. Both have already proven themselves to be great at what they do! You've got questions, they've got answers Identity's community members and YouTubers have interviewed the developers. Your questions have been asked; check it out to see what the developers say about the way Identity is played! IDENTITY RPG DEVELOPER Q&A NOVEMBER, 2017 Identity Game - Podcast - Developer Q&A - #2 Join us on Twitch at 4PM EST on Tuesdays and Thursdays to watch Identity's developers at work. Most of these streams also have other developers present to answer the questions of those watching, live! Are you interested in hearing answers to other questions? Our developers have been answering questions on live streams for some time now and Brandon (BeachBall), our community manager, has compiled an enormous list of questions and answers. Check out the TWITCH CLIPS DIRECTORY forum thread. The little engine that couldn't We're really excited to show you gameplay footage, not only of the Town Square module but what you can expect to see beyond the modules! We've been hard at work on this, but our aging build of the Unreal Engine just couldn't cope with the advanced vehicle physics systems we're implementing in Identity! This meant it was time for the dreaded engine merge, something our lead programmer Sone has been fearing for years! Every once in a while (usually every year or so) we have to merge all of the modifications we've made to the core Unreal Engine into the latest release. It's an absolutely enormous undertaking, but it's done and good to go. Now that we're running the latest version of the engine, we can support more advanced technologies and we can bring you a more immersive experience, even in the Town Square. Just wait 'til you see what we're doing with vehicles! The UI disaster! Early in the month we hit a road-block. Our licensed middleware system for the user interface in Identity, Scaleform, was discontinued! The industry leading system would be no more, and we had to make the tough decision to abandon it now to save grief in the future. It was like a slap in the face. All of our user interface code had to be scrapped and replaced! While Scaleform was a Flash based system, our new UI would not be. We've signed on with Coherent Labs, and the new UI is under way. While unexpected, it's actually a blessing in disguise! Our new Coherent system allows for faster development, and while it's a minor setback now it'll speed things up considerably going forward. Our new guy, Artur, is dedicated to the user interface in Identity and our UI will be stronger now because of it. With Artur's help, I don't expect this to affect development time for Town Square even at all. We have more hands on deck to cover the added work. On the horizon With our expanding development team, we're able to focus our efforts in more areas of Identity's development. With vehicle and weapon systems now getting attention, we're once again progressing towards a short but feature packed gameplay video for you guys to check out.

Kneeling on the ground and checking his throat. White Mask looks behind him seeing that his number one fan was gone. He would stand up rubbing his knee caps. He dust himself off with the snow and looks around. "Really? Really?......Really? you are just going to be like that and leave?" He shakes his head and fixes his white suit. "A phone call would of been better maybe you would of have told me what you wanted instead of giving me the run around with words!" He holds his arms up as he talks "WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU STILL DID NOT GIVE ME THE REASON WHY I AM OUT HERE!" He sighs. "ok ok calm down let go back and see what he said." White Mask holds out his hand and then makes a one with his pointer finger. " One...Break into the asylum to get my attention." puts up two fingers. " I come to the park we have our self a good old fashion western stand off." Three fingers "The clown says you and I can make a good team" White Mask nods and puts up four fingers " I mess around like I always do he says stop we want nearly the something." White Mask starts to walk in circles now as the snow flurries fall." Five" holds out five fingers. " I get slammed against that tree." Points to the tree. " He says he is a train psycho warfare person guy." raises his other hand up and makes six." Six, he tells me that is his job I give him a tic-tac." holds up seven fingers. "Seven, I say this is all fun and games or something like that but I need to know what he wants since he said we make a good team. I mean time is running out I got things to do brah." White Mask stops under the tree and holds up eight fingers " Eight, I get kicked, and then a freakin WWE choke hold on me as he says, people want anarchy.....but they want other people to provide it. Uhh duh we know.." holds up nine fingers "Nine, The dude disappears in the snow like a freakin magician." Puts his last remaining finger up to make ten. "Ok and TEN, I stand here, still not knowing what he wanted. did he want a partnership? did he want to Start a New World Order? Or did he just wanted to talk and put me in a choke hold just because....." White Mask shakes his head and starts walking out of the park. "Well Shit White Mask maybe oh.....you know what you did...Im sooooo stupid I should of realize, he wanted an 8x11 pictured autograph of me.... so stupid well he will call if he wants to explain himself a little bit better, maybe I will call that Gene guy, I mean I did let all the murders and killers lose from the asylum once with his money I did what he wanted...I mean its not my fault that they are not killing they are their own..person" White Mask just keeps rambling on and on. Then his head twitches as he snaps. He removes his mask and placing inside his suit jacket. He then runs his hands through his hair and then places them into his suit pocket, leaving the park. He would walk down the street and cross the street to where there is a fancy restaurant where only the rich like to eat and party. White Mask walks up to the door and gets stopped but he shows his papers and the guy at the door lets him.

Not looking to lead a political party but to work with a party. I have not read throught the parties on this forums but it is on my to do list for sure. My short Bio in Identity is a lawyer who enjoys the finer things in life such as well made suits, cigars, and fine whiskeies. As a lawyer I have an open door policie to anyone requesting my help. As for politics maybe one day I will strive for a higher billet but for now I want to help build parties and help grow buisness within the economy. Anyone looking for an adviser or any other jobs that need to be fullfield please leave a reply with a summary of your party and I will for sure have a look at your party.

As the Wanderer steps closer and closer to White Mask. He stops Wanderer dead in his track by placing his finger in the middle of his chest. "ummm ok a couple things. One I know its getting cold out here on this island but we don't need to get close for warmth. Two you see that is the differences between me and you. If you can't make a name for yourself no-one will remember you. Its like that one saying uhhh who said it best....Hero's get remembered but Villain's never die. And 'C.' " White Mask removes his pointer from Wanderers chest and reaches into his suit pocket. He then pulls out a thing of Tic-Tac's. and shakes them. " I don't know what you have been eating but damn homie." White Mask stops shaking the tic-tac's and reached over slowly putting them in Wanderer's right pant pocket. "Keep'em please..okay this is all fun and all but" He points to his invisible watch on his hand. "you haven't made a clear of your offer yet" He taps his invisible watch again. "Tick Tock Tick Tock"

No they won’t be giving a free copy to Youtubers and no, you have to pay individually

White Mask gets picked up and slammed against the tree. After the Wanderer says his very hurtful words to White Mask and lets him down. He fixes his white Suit jacket. “Man you are not a super fan..more of a stage 5 clinger..” He looks over at Wanderer as he fixes the rest of his suit. “So let me get this straight, you think me and you can be something do extraordinary things together?” He smirks under his mask “you know I am kidda a lone wolf kind guy, I mean I clearly have fans.” He laughs a litte and then stops as a snow flake falls right in front of his face. “ohh ahh” He holds his hand out trying to catch it. White Mask twitches and snaps back to the Wanderer. “So a team you say…make it worth my wild you have 30 seconds, So I am either walking away or shaking your hand.”

that's how I felt the moment I saw the game hehe
