Are the modules Alpha or Beta? The Modules are not any kind of beta but serve more as a Alpha! The Beta will be the closest thing to the full game. When is the Beta going to release? There is no current release point for the Beta except after all 3 modules are released. (Late 2018 is my estimate) When is this Game going to release? There is no point for when it is known to release. (My Estimate will be Early 2019 Release) Town Square Release Schedule? The first Module is due to release 21st March 2018 30th November 2018 as so the developers can be sure to hit the release date. 21st March 2018 Countdown When is there going to be game play footage? The next video is said to be on Gun Mechanics, and I would hope to think it will be shown before the S.W.A.T. Module. Crime & Punishment Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT2b4YvylI4 Character Creation + Quick Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kctp79UE5sI Day/Night + Interiors + Interactions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNcJj4C_8ZE Homes/ Apartments: Hotels are free, apartments are infinite, all will get to try an apartment in town square, and there will be limited houses around the map, and that Homes can Store items and are useful as HQ's for gangs. Pledges/ and Prices: Some pledges will stay and prices of them will increase while the rest of the pledges will be removed from the store completely. This will be done when the new Website launches which will likely be Early 2018 and so make use of the time left! New website has already been launched. Higher packages are likely going to be removed during Town Square release or later on. Pledge Car Insurance: There will be life time insurance for the pledge cars/ vehicles. Server Player Capacity: The server player capacity is going to be between 300 - 500 players per server! Server size: Will be 300-500 players. What will the size of the "Town Square" be? The "Town Square" module will be as stated a Town Square and there is no "Figure" on the size of it as of yet! Will this game be released on Consoles? No this game is exclusively for PC however after the full game release the Developers will look into console porting. MoTown's Answer to a post on the forum: Our official answer on the topic of consoles is that we have no current plans to release Identity to console platforms, but have promised to do our research into what it might require after our PC launch. This is not a promise that Identity will be available on console, simply a promise to look into it. At the moment, it would be fair to say that it is outside of our scope and budget. Will this game be for MAC and Linux? Yes it will but I don't know if it will be shortly after launch of the game. Will there be AI (Artificial Intelligence)/ NPC's be roaming the map? No, this game is a player run game, but will have a few NPC's filling up the boring jobs which you and I would not do for hours on end e.g. standing at the tills of a shop, also they will be in the un-ownable shops too and they will be around in back-alleys to represent a (Black Market Dealer and Drug Dealers). Will there be any aircraft in this game? No there will not be aircraft in this game but the developers did mention a glider and possibly in the very far future they could still add them but that's not certain. Will there be Undercover cops? No, The reason why there won't be undercover cops is because the developers want a distinctive difference between cops and civilians/ criminals. How many buttons will be in the game? Probably more, but there will be radial menus for some things that will cut down on buttons. What steering wheels are supported? So far the Thrust-master ones are confirmed. ( if its a popular steering wheel, it'll work) Will this game be VR supported? Yes, the developers are working on it and want to be able to have VR supported because they want to use it too when playing the game. Unfortunately they don't think it will be supported at full game release. Is this game Subscription based? No! You buy the game (passport) and then you can play anytime with no more paying. Is there in-game Purchases? (read next question and the answer) Yes. Is this game Pay to Win? No, You can only buy cosmetic items. (Items which don't give players advantages). What are the system requirements? There is no official knowledge yet as its too early to say, but if you can run games like GTA V, Arma 3 and Ark you should be fine. System requirements are on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/792990/Identity/ How is in-game money going to work? Money will be as close and realistic to the USD. What are the names of the 3 cities? Ash Hill, Roseport and Turtle Beach. Can you break in/ raid someones home? No, police cannot raid your house and also no one can rob your house. In correspondance to police not being able to raid your home, it is that you cannot enter your property if wanted either. What age rating will the game be? This game will be Rated 18+. Can you live with someone? Yes you can but you have to have a bedroom for every person who lives in your house. This even includes if you marry someone! Gangs: There will be a gang system, such as making a guild in MMO's. Gangs will have ranks and even HQ's which can be someone's house where all gang members have access or a shop a gang member owns. In Town square, there will not be a gang system YET, but there will be a friends contact on your phones and you can easily roleplay your gang, to begin with. You can have biker gangs, as there are Bikes (such as the ones in the pledges) and leather jackets. You can put insignias on your clothes to show off your gang. There won't be designated gang categories, such as Biker gang or Mafia, but you can Roleplay your gang to be any type you want. There will, however, be areas of the map designed for specific sub-cultures, such as bars that are Biker themed, such as Biker Club Bars. A player can always buy a bar, make it a Biker Club / Bar and make it the HQ of their Biker Gang, or the same with a Mafia gang, etc... Stress System: The Stress System is the games anti-RDM (random deathmatch = randomly killing people for no reason) system. What happens is everyone has a stress level, and if you stress is low, you take less damage, and high, you take normal damage. When you pull out a gun, you instantly get high stress, and when one is aimed at you or you are near a fight, your stress will slowly rise. This helps you to fight back and try and get the advantage on a gunman by using the stress system to your advantage. In weapon customisation: People always ask if there will be silencers or 8X scopes, and there will not be any long range optics or silencers in Identity. Murder: WILL be auto reported and you will be instantly wanted, other crimes require witnesses and a 911 call. Can you Marry? Yes, you can marry both sex. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reddit and Exclusive interview questions and answers Below ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Weapon Customisation? Weapon customization is quite detailed. Some weapons have more room for changes than others of course, but things like stocks, grips, sights and even paint/finish can be customized. Weapon actions are one of those things that don't work well in video games, mostly because no matter what you have in the game you're still firing with a mouse, and it will feel counter-intuitive making it over-complicated. For example, if you have a double action pistol and pull the trigger, your mouse click is all the same no matter if the hammer is back or forward so we need to design around the peripherals people are using to play. Weapon jams are something you can encounter. Our weapon physics are incredibly advanced and was one of the first systems completed long ago. We can create magazines of any size which hold physically accurate ammo. Calibre and even type (holopoint, FMJ, etc) have an effect on trajectory. Our programmer on the weapon physics read a lot of papers to get proper formulas, and they function off the same math used by real-world forensics. A bullet fired in Identity will travel almost identically to the same being fired in the real world, even when it comes down to things like stopping power versus penetration. Will there be physics to shoot through walls or boxes? Things that a bullet would usually go though in real world situations. Absolutely. Bullets are influenced by the material they hit. If it's wood, it will pass right through it with very little change to velocity, but a thin sheet of metal may still allow the bullet to pass through, yet reduce velocity enough that it may not kill, or do much damage to its target on the other side when it impacts. 1. What is in game prison like? 2. Is it like real prison with guards, rec time, shiving, and keeping a tight grip on the soap? 3. How does the drug manufacturing and trafficking work? 4. Can I get methylamine? 1. Identity's prison is very much a game within a game. As a prisoner, you can join one of three prison factions and battle for territory, or just hang out in the recreational room and chat and interact with other prisoners while you wait out your time. You'll be able to craft a crude shank and attack others, or attempt a prison escape as a group that the police will be forced to respond too from across the map. There are no player prison guards though. The decision for that was mostly just because we couldn't find a way to keep it engaging and fun. We don't want people to be forced to sit and watch other players. 2. For those in prison however, when they've served their time, they may simply exit the prison through a series of corridors that only they have access too, or if they just have a lengthy prison sentence, they can request a trial which will notify random players across the map to report for jury duty, in which case they will plead their case, and have their fate decided on by a vote whether to be released early, or spend the rest of their time behind bars. 3. & 4. In the outside world, there are a number of drug manufacturing processes, including the production of meth, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. Each has its own unique crafting process. For instance, in order to cook meth, which is the highest paying and most valuable drug in Identity, it will require the player to purchase a mobile RV, convert it into a meth lab, and then steal all of the ingredients from across the map in certain factory locations. They'll then have to spend time cooking the meth through a series of time-based processes that determine the quality of the product before finally selling it to an NPC drug dealer for a big payout (or you can consume it if you feel like cutting into your hard-earned profits). 1)Price when the game releases 2)Will there be realistic payments for the jobs(on official servers)? I really hate it when you deliver a huge track full of diamonds and get 10k for it just breaks the immersion 3)Will the items take physical space inside the car not only for furniture but with job items as well (Weed, diamonds,etc) and will you be able to put more staff in the car if Let's say you have a 4 man vehicle but its only you and a friend inside so you have 2 sheets left will that mean extra space? 4)Will the things you buy have realistic prices? For example if you buy a Ferrari it will cost you something like 150k? 5)Will there be real life cars in the game or unlicensed cars like in gta v 6)Will there be any A.I cops or enemies? 7)Will i be able to raid other players houses? 8)Will there be a report system so you can instant report someone if he rdm's/vdm's you 9)Will there be an in game recorder so you can have proof for rdm ? (something like plays.tv lets say) 10)will there be a casino? 11)Any micro transactions? (not for cosmetic items) 12)Can you compare the driving to another game so we kinda know how driving will be like ?(i hope not like arma) 13)Will you be able to shoot while inside a vehicle 14)will there be rebel items like armored(extra armor and guns)vehicles, helicopters, jets. 1. Currently, you can pre-order, or pledge early for Identity for as low as $15 (without beta access) or $30 (with beta access) from our website @ identityrpg.com - however, we expect the price of the game to jump up to about $45 when it hits steam, as steam takes a pretty large chunk of income from each sale. 2. Expect Identity's currency to be realistic in value, so your pay will also be realistic. A pair of shoes may cost about $40, and a decent car around $30,000. A lot of games reward players with such high numbers in currency and damage though because there seems to be a psychological attracting to larger numbers, so we can understand why games do it but it won't be that way in Identity. 3. Items will take up physical space inside the trunk of a car. When a player accesses the trunk, there is a 2D grid placement system in which each item takes up a number of squares on the grid depending on its shape and size. The largest items will not fit inside the trunk of a small car, so a big semi-truck with a trailer may be necessary. 4. Oops, I answered this with #2 as well. 5. There won't be real-world cars or brands in Identity. We can't afford the license fees to include real brands in our game, and we're almost certain these companies would not want their brands associated with vehicle damage, or some of the criminal and illegal elements also featured in the game. 6. There won't be AI cops out in the game environment, driving police vehicles, or paroling streets. If there are any, they will simply stand behind a desk at the station recruiting new player officers or providing information. 7. You will not be able to raid another players house, or enter their house without their permission. We want player homes to be your personal space, safe from any outside influence. Players are going to put a lot of effort customizing their homes, and we don't want to jeopardize or disturb the work they put into it. 8. RDM/VDM isn't an enforced rule on official servers, but there will be a tool for reporting these actions on private servers who create rules for these actions. Instead, on Official servers, we have a stress system in place to discourage random attacks or griefing. 9. There won't be an in-game video recording tool, but you can use 3rd party video recording software like OBS, Fraps, or Shadowplay. 10. There will be casinos in Identity, but they are not player owned. 11. Micro-transactions exist for cosmetics, some vehicles, and some apartments, and will be claimable across all servers (hopefully including private servers). We will not sell weapons. 12. Expect driving in Identity to be realistic, much like Grand Theft Auto IV, not V. Players won't be able to survive crazy stunt jumps in Identity, and enough damage could disable your vehicle. Unfortunately however, we cannot easily do a damage model like you might expect to see in BeamNG. Damage has to be networked across the server, and we feel transmitting that much damage data could hurt performance. 13. You won't be able to shoot from inside your vehicle. We want to discourage random acts of violence for the sake of roleplay. 14. There won't be any armoured vehicles in Identity, apart from maybe SWAT trucks. We don't want to give anyone a PVP advantage based on vehicle armor. Aircraft are also not present in Identity, as it is important to us that players do not skip over potential encounters they may have gotten into while driving, and of course because we don't want the world to feel smaller by flying quickly from point A to point B. If anyone thinks of more FAQ questions please comment and I can add them in.

Hello everyone. My name is Charlie and for the past three or so years I have been playing simulator and roleplay based games. I enjoy the feeling of being in a reality separate from your own. Whether it be a job I can't have or a life I can't live, video games are the place I got to live those dreams and work those jobs. That is why I was so excited to hear about a game such as Identity where I can be almost anything. As one that enjoys politics however not being one that has ever gotten in the field of it, the promise of a 'player government' really intrigued me. So here I am same as you anxiously awaiting the arrival of a wonderful promise being brought to fruition.

Hey there, @Danthecancerman! It's great to have you within the community. It's great to hear that you enjoy games similar to this as, if you liked any of the ones you may have previously played then this one is sure to double, no, triple the capabilities of those by bringing the MMORPG experience to a whole new level. As for being intrigued by Identity politics, you may very well enjoy The Podium board (click the golden text). Whilst I'm here, I'll throw in a few helpful links just in case you haven't yet seen them and I'll even throw in my political campaign's website should you be interested in reviewing some of our policies, acts and laws. You can view them here. Links: FAQ - Made by Motown FAQ Extended - Made by JamesLuck01 Official Identity Discord

Oooooohh, @FrancePourLaVie keep going!

Marie meets with the retiring officer, she thanks him for his hours upon hours of hard work and that he deserves all of the praise that he is getting. Then Marie gets a text from Pierre that reads, “URGENT news about the Hamilton party, meet me IMMEDIATELY”. Marie socialises and thanks the police for their amazing work in a quick speech at the banquet and then slips out the back door, where her driver, Jacques, is waiting to take her to Pierre. When she arrives, Pierre sits her down and closes the door, with some of Marie’s bodyguards standing outside the door. Pierre pulls down the curtains and sits down opposite Marie. “What is so “urgent” that you had me whisked away from the police banquet”, Marie says. ”Don’t worry, this is groundbreaking”.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but why would you want to limit it to people who are already involved in Identitys parties, @LuciousTimes ? @FrancePourLaVie I might give it a go if I get time in the nearest future

Marie is in the back of her Mercedes, with Jacque driving in the front when she receives a phone call from Pierre. He tells her that Brian Hamilton secretly decided to run last night, and that he took 2% from Marie and 2% from Lucious. Marie is suspicious as to why Brian kept his announcement on the low down but she keeps her mind focused on the workers union that she is meeting with.

Suddenly the Order logo appears on everyone’s TV. A podium is seen the Order logo on it. It seems that they are in front of a town hall or something like that. A man to be in his fifty’s walks up to the podium wearing his dress uniforms that are all black with black hat with a red band around it. It looks like he was someone important from all the medals he has on his chest. As he stands on behind the podium the Templars walk out behind him and stand next to him, two on each side of the man. General Crimson stood behind the man as he would put his glasses on and open his folder to speak. “My Name is General J. Williams of thy Order. Please do not be afraid. We are here to help you and the city. Thy Saviors are here for your protection to get rid of the darkness of your CITY!” He slams his fist down on the podium. General Williams: “Today starts a new Era on thy island, And we say no more darkness and hello to the light that dis city once was.” The camera pans out to see a sea of Saviors or Red caps as you call them along with tanks, APCs, SUVs and Humvees. As the Saviors clap and the camera goes back to General Williams. General Williams: “ in about five minutes The Order will be online and the start of the campaign will began.” A drone fly’s overhead and then hovers by General Williams. “Dess Drones will be our eyes in thy city to find the evil so that we can deal with them. Do Not be afraid of thy drones as day are here for your protection as we all are. A curfew is in affect. If you are caught out past seven you will be arrested and sent to the work camp where you will be put on trial for you faith of thy city. So do not be out past seven.” The General looks back at General Crimson and nods as he turns back to the people. General Williams: “Lastly thy police force will go under training from the Order to become better officers and one with thy Order. Everyone who is not a Police officers, Fire department or EMTs will be giving jobs to run thy city properly, Food & water will be handed out every Wednesday at O eight hundred right here. There will be plenty for everyone and everyone will get their food & water so we ask you to wait in line. If you do not wait and get out of hand you will be sent to the work camp and put on trial for your crimes. Now everyone must come down to city hall to be entered into our data base your ticket number for food and water, and your new job title. Do Not make us come get you, this is your only warning. Thy Order Thanks you for your cooperation. For the ORDER!” General Williams slams his fist into his chest as so does the Templar’s next to him. The tv screen goes black with the Order logo on it. It also has writing on the screen that tells you what you must do before curfew

This could be done by anyone, this isn’t limited to people already involved in politics. Even you could do it!

I think the easiest thing would be if you made a questionnaire and got all parties to respond :-)

It could be capable of fulfilling such a task as long as it is dedicated towards strategically analyzing each and every single aspect of a political party prior to concluding their location along the political compass, alongside with producing a detailed yet brief summary of each political party.

I have been silent regarding this information due to inside opinions on the releasing of it, however, I feel now is the time. As stated in the original post, excluding myself, there will be 4 other Government Officials. 3 of them have been chosen. @JoelKeys will act as the Lieutenant Governor, @NexusGaming will act as the Business Counsel, and @Andrew811 will act as the Criminology Counsel. I’m proud to have them all at my side. The remaining position is the Security Counsel, that position is still needing to be filled.

(( Ditching me, and going straight to Ghost, eh? Kidding... )) (( EDIT: Top of page 6! Whoho! )) After having made her way into the Police Station, being dropped off by Barret. She'd make her way to the front desk. Whole place is dark, and eerie. And there's no one around. The whole place looks like a mess, and shot up. But there's no bodies, or anything. Suspecting something isn't right, she'd draw her gun. Having only ever fired this gun in training, at dummy targets. She'd make her way around the desk, her leg hurting a bit after the crash. The blood on her forehead, pretty much dried up by now. And mostly gone. Zoey looks around, and tries to whisper, "Hello.... Is anyone there?", her whispers met with silence. In the dark room, only lit very dimply by the lights from the outside trough the closed blinds over the windows. And a few lights flickering. Almost as if this place was taken from a horror zombie scene. She makes her way, trying her best to sneak, over to the locker rooms. Where she grabs a med kit. And she goes to pull up her pant leg, and applying some bandages to her leg. After a few minutes, she hears engines from the garage down bellow starting to rev up. Thinking it's the rest of the police force, preparing to head out to regain control on the streets. She makes her way out of the locker room. And down the hallway, to the elevator, and stairs down to the garages. Just as the makes her way to the elevator, she stops in front of the doors. Noticing it was actually moving up to her floor. And before she has time to react, the doors open to the elevator pings, and the doors open. Zoey immediately spots the three guards inside, catching her off-guard. She was totally expecting police officers to come out of there. And equally surprised are the three guards inside of the elevator, not expecting anyone alive. Zoey quickly attempts to draw her gun in self defense, as the two guards in the back. With their weapons to the side, are much faster than Zoey. And aims at her. And the lead guard in the middle of the two, steps forward quickly, and grabs Zoey's gun by the barrel, and keeps it pointed away. As he reached up with his other hand, and grabs her by the throat. Even lifting her up a little from the ground by her throat. She quickly drops her gun, as she's struggling to breath. She'd move both her hands up to the lead guard's arm, as he's choking her, trying to resist. On the verge of passing out, he steps to the side. And tosses her into the back wall in the elevator. Just hard enough to make her make a large dent in the wall. And she falls down, hitting the ground. While she's not knocked unconscious, just yet. She's feeling rather weak, and disoriented. As the two guards turns, and points the rifles at her. The lead guard commands, "Cuff her, and take her to the others.". One of the guards responds, "Yes, sir.", and goes down to grabs Zoey's cuffs, and moves her onto her stomach, where he then cuffs her hands behind her back, with her own cuffs. He'd then grab her arm, and lift her up to her feet. As he starts patting her down, and removing anything she could use to escape, weapons, tools, keys and even her phone. Zoey, feeling unable to hold on any longer, simply passes out. The guard grabs her over his shoulder, and takes her to a cell in the police station. And tosses her on the ground in one of them, and locks the door shut. And leaves.

1. No you cannot. 2. Character may roll over but nothing on progress because there is no progressing in the Town Square Module. (PS: They have been answered before but don't worry.) If you need more information please look at the Twitch Clip Directory! Kind regards, LuckyDuck.

Lucious then gives a slight grin, but Brian stands up and ask “are 3 people not better than 2?”

When she arrived, there were 2 familiar faces already in the room - Lucious Times and Brian Hamilton!

Sounds like something the IPO should be doing! @NanoSpace @Identity_Party_Org

Oh boy! Can u stream doctor who?

Updated Added: - New Bylaw: Rape is a no, harm to kids is a no - New patched member, Former President of the BCR MC New York Charter @Micky_Tohmpson! Removed: - Known Criminal Activities: Contract killing

Lucious calls Hamilton and invites him over, they talk, laugh and Lucious even ends up playing some Texas Hold ‘Em with him. As they play Lucious lets Brian know that he’ll definitely find a place for him, due to the results being nearly a clear reelection for Times. Brian didn’t seem the slightest of irritated, and said “thank you!”

Lucious pulls up to Marie’s place and fills her in...Brian was invited but seemed extremely busy!

Marie ties her golden hair up in a bun and indicates for Brain to sit down. Marie looks in Lucious' direction and asks, "How many casualties have been reported after the attack?".
