I like this

I, Armati Damiani pledge my allegiance to the Luprano Family.

From my understanding it will stay out along with the next 2 modules until the full game is released. If I am wrong maybe a mod can correct me.

It's mostly self-creation, all the business ideas you see here are concepts and plans. Starting your own business on here will rely mostly on your imagination, to start just simply make a forum post with your ideas and logos and what else you want to tell or show. Ingame there will be corporations which will be the tool for implementing your business. Probably your best bet at making logos and designs would be Photoshop or something like that, as for implenting those logos in game I'm not sure about it you would have to refer to the twitch clip directory and see if theres anything there.

the thing thats suprising me is that they are showing these "place holder assets" while there is no footage on the town square.....

See, this word you're using is the problem: faith. I have faith in a lot of things. Some people call me too optimistic about many things in life. However, gaming is not one of them. Why? Because faith has NEVER worked out in gaming. never. There are literally zero instances where faith on its own turned out to be all you needed for games in development. Sure, this could be an exception and, again, I sure hope so. But to have faith and faith alone in game development is a grave mistake. As for not understanding why people still think this is fake, let me explain why I still consider this an option. All those screenshots above, all the live streams and all other communication towards the outside world have shown the same things: words and still images of "stuff and things". For hundreds of thousands of dollars I would sit behind a screen for several hours a week as well, working on random mockups that could potentially be used in a game, wouldn't you? Just wait until the buyers protection is no longer in effect and you have yourself a ton of free money. Considered that option? Because I did. Now let me state this once again: I am not saying this is the case, but I do consider it to be an option. Actual proof is still not present and until it is you have to rely on this thing called faith in the gaming industry. Yeah, no thanks.

Asylum Entertainment would like to present to you, the first look at Identity's gameplay trailer, giving you a vertical slice of what you can expect from the upcoming MMORPG

Hey Guys, I thought I would share with you a little guide I designed a few years ago for businesses in Arma 3 Life. It's a simple business model that worked pretty well. It's more or less an algorithm for any business you choose to make. It allows for your employees to be paid, and will minimize them breaking off for sole profit. It is purposely written so that anyone can understand. --------------- Business Model System This is the business model system for maximum efficiency for any business. This model uses a percentage based pay and is designed to be easily modified and easily implemented. Here is the Key for the following guide: A- Overhead (This is the money you need to cover your expenses) B- Profit (This is the money you make after your initial investment has been covered) C- Employee Payroll (This is the money for you to pay your employees) D- Investors Payroll (This is the money to pay your investors) ----------------- Generally speaking you need to arrange all of your investors payroll and your employee payroll to only come from your profits. It is important to remember what your total investment is, your profit, and your payroll. Be sure that you keep an eye on your finances. This is an example of the business model: Your total Overhead (A) is $1000 You have one investor, who has invested $1000 into your business in exchange for 5% of your profit (B). This places a $20,000 valuation on your company. You have one employee plus yourself. Your employees and investors make 5% of your profits. From 100% of your profit (B), you now owe 10%, which leaves you with 90% of your profit. Your profit is $5000. This means that $250 goes to your investor, $250 goes to your employees. 90% of your profit or $4500 is now left over. You invest $2000 into your Overhead this time. You have the same amount of investors. Your company's valuation is still only $20,000. You have gained another employee plus yourself. You have banked $2500. If your profit from a $1000 investment was $5000, this means you made $6000 from the total investment. In turn you expect to make double because of your investment of $2000. This puts you at a $10,000 profit. 5% of $10,000 is $500. You pay your employees $500 and your investor $500. This leaves you with a total of $9000 profit. This algorithm is a progressive system. You do not have to pay any specific percentage, I was simply explaining the math with the easy percentages. ---------------- Q: Why would someone work for me, if they could make the same amount as me? A: Your employee pays no overhead, he uses your equipment, he uses your services, he uses your resources. He has no risk involved. If he is robbed, it is not his money he is losing. (Or She). Also, your employee will scale with more employees and more profit. Whereas if he were to do it all on his own, he would make the same singular profit without the ability to scale, unless he were to create his own company. (Or She). Not to mention, you could promote the employee to making more of a percentage. Q: Why not split the profits evenly? A: You can do that! Except you do need to take out your next expenses before dividing up the profit. Always cover your next venture. Q: Why bank the money? A: The reason for banking your money is insurance. If you are robbed, or an expensive piece of equipment is lost, stolen, or broken, you need to be able to cover those expenses. You pay yourself, the same amount as you pay your employees. You bank the remainder for upgrades and incidentals. Q: Is this the only system that works? A: Heavens no. There are many different systems that work, this is just an easy one to start with until you get your feet wet. ----------------------- Should you have any questions, or anything you would like to add to this guide (Business Model) please reply and leave a comment.

RP STORY OF VITO PALLAZZOLO Born Vittorio Pallazzolo in Bari, southern Italy, a few streets away from Carmelo Barbero and Frank Luprano's relatives. He was son of a construction manager with long work days and poor payment. Vito's father, Alfonso Palazzolo, was also an amateur boxer who was a strong head of the family. Vito loved boxing as well, just like his father and was not afraid of blood. Slowly, step after step, his mother, Luciana Palazzolo (name meaning: light) strove to achieve her life goals; becoming a mathematic-teacher (she loved the handling of numbers and people) and having self-employment, she was always devoting her energy and time to new areas of income: no matter if it was real estate, precious metals, precious stones, new business investments and taking advantage of untapped business niches (bakery in a place, where people need one...). Vito Palazzolo had a great mix between the endeavor of logical thinking,independent education and hard work. His father died early at a work accident. This layed a huge amount of responsibility on Vito. He was forced to become an adult and his mother was overwhelmed with this situation. She gave Vito a huge amount of money – just in hope he wouldn't see her falling deeper and deeper :she threw her money away, drunk during the daytime and losing her discipline to keep her business running. One day she bought wine in a gas station, was drunk, happy, laughing, and walked out into the street, not watching the traffic into a car, which put her body in the oncoming traffic and she was hit by a truck. Vito got his master in chemistry at the age of 22. It was a great balancing act between the research of new areas (drugs), improving the process of known drugs and the legal work in the laboratory as a researcher (not well paid, but a safe place). Vito quickly recognized that the changing of the world begins with him: He had to see: In problems the freedom of decision. In decisions - their consequences and possible outcomes. In errors - learning and trying again with a better start - which in turn lead to success. He will always be as modest as his mother, no one will ever know how much power and money is working in the background. The security over money stands: Dead people are not able to spend their million of dollars. You should work as hard as possible without putting yourself in danger, think in larger time intervals, and let the money work for you. Discipline daily to work on future goals was vital for Vito. The way you present yourself, your appearance, gestures, facial expression - is your self-confidence. Vito acknowledged three key questions in his day to day business; What is time-consuming? What is profit? What is dangerous? Protecting the family is the most important: therefore he had no problems to sell his drugs in foreign countries. He was not a gun nut, they were only a means for the purpose; protection and solving “problems”. He always solves his problems personally, if necessary, with his hands. He was quick to realize that he could not achieve everything on his own, so he joined the Luprano family through connections in Bari, and eventually came over to the island, after proving his loyalty during various tasks. With the first orders he realized quickly that violence did not irritate him, he could shoot people without hesitation but the thrill of making money with his mind is what gave him his adrenaline rush.Vito wanted to work for the office of the consigliere, which seemed to him in an unachievable distance, but was his goal. Due to his negotiating skills, the nickname "Snake" was awarded to him. He can judge people well and therefore also manipulate well psychologically. He was a great actor, even to people to whom he desires death; he could surrender and be friendly and, if necessary, give the death penalty - which made him an unpredictable weapon. His enemies can not look into him, but their are feeling of him has to be fully illuminated. He was struggling to move to the next step as early as possible, he had a healthy balance between philosophy and action. Now his attitude and skills in life keep all doors open for him.

Available for everyone with Founder ($30+) and above.

I wouldn't compare ourselves to investors in publishers, for what reason you might ask? Well 1. We never invested Thousands of Dollars did we? We put a small amount. Yes we deserve a bit of Transparency and we do get it from these developers. Now we are also allowed to be annoyed but, If you back something pre-release and that is "Donating/ Pledging" like we have for Identity. Well we don't have the right to a refund because we are "Donating". You cannot compared yourself to an investor unless you pledge/ donated/ invest Thousands of Dollars etc into the game. Asylum have been saying to everyone, if you don't believe/ feel like it is sufficient with evidence on the game and are not confident about the project, then you were supposed to hold back and not pledge. It is purely your decision to pledge and is not any fault of Asylum's that you are not pleased about what you are getting. They give sufficient information, and sufficient transparency. It is the people who demand things that games fail hard like "NMS" The community demanded it and also the publishers pushed it out also because of the community and so it failed on launch. Next time hold off until the full game or at least your standard in evidence on the game is available before pledging into a project because you pledging makes it difficult as when you pledge, that money gets taken into account of the budget. Then because it is counted in the budget, if you go for a refund, it screws on the calculated budget for the developers. Sit back until Module 1 releases before you pledge again as that means you can get your evidence from Fans/ YT'ers.

We have 30 days left for the trailer....

Well that sounds crazy, already enough for me, thanks!

1. yes $30+, If you pledged at a earlier stage e.g. kickstarter then it is anything which is Founder or above which is equivalent to the $30 pledge now (Was cheaper at kickstarter). 2. It will be available on Steam from day 1. You will download it either through steam or the website. If you download it through steam, you will still need to download the game launcher which you have to sign in using your store/game account. (Store account on this website is the Game account.) 3. There is no ETA on the Full Game release and well anyone who says 2019 is giving their opinion and theirs alone. It is not Official.

March 21st 2018. They stream every week on a Tuesday and Thursday. They give more communication than you think.

Hi @SwitchOnTwitch, Welcome in our community ! I hope you'll enjoy chatting in the forum.

in rp no one is going to take you seriously if you call your gang ' the animal kingdom ' lmao and what do you mean ' there will be a few of these per server ' acting like all the servers are combined so what you do on one server you can take that progress to another server, wont work like that, you would just end up having different things on different servers.

When you have hundreds of people constantly riding your ass to produce something they can see or else they’ll request a refund, then you have no choice. You say that it’s currently your top priority so people will relax. Have everybody continue to do their job and take time making the video because that shit isn’t important right now. And then release it and have everybody complaining about it anyways. This game was announced three years ago. It takes soooo much time to make a game. Even if it’s a 2D game or a game like Minecraft. It takes time. UI, Animation, Models, Graphics, Bug Fixing and then actually creating the things they promised is hard as all hell, especially when half the community is yelling at them threatening to take their funding away from them. You knew what you were getting into when you donated. You knew that they said everything was a work in progress and doesn’t represent the final game. Leave them the hell alone, let them make the game they wanna make. Don’t pressure them to release shit for you if you’re just gonna shit on it. You’re lucky they show you anything at all. Stop complaining

Imagine if the roads of Identity was like this:

Steam key will be sent out at the pledge respective times but Identity will have it’s own launcher which you will need to sign in to with your store/ game account.

Well I am glad you joined the community. Hope you like it ?

The Town Square module (module one) will let you meet other players and add them in your contact list. You'll also be able to visit a few places to see how it looks like, and I also believe you'll be able to mess around in the apartment and garage you'll get from your pledge. You won't be able to drive your vehicle, but you'll be able to customize the apartment for free. But please note that when the full beta will release (after all three modules), your apartment will be reset to its original state.

I'm very excited about the launch, but I'd like to know in this beta of the 21st, what can we do in this beta?

Yes, for careers e.g. Police, Fire and EMS. There will be a locker room for the Police as this is and has been confirmed/ explained already. To go on and off duty as a officer you must go into the police stations locker room and get changed into your police uniform for "On Duty" and your civilian clothes for "Off Duty. I will very much say that it is likely the same with EMS and the Fire Department but these are things that have not really been worked on but I imagine will be similar to the Police career. When "Off Duty" you can go and do what ever you want to do. Hunt, Fish, Pick Apples, Farm, Mining, Lumberjack, Treasure hunting, scuba diving, exploring and many more. There will be Offices you can buy for your business' Yes, you can create your own Brand logo/ company logo, store vehicles and all sorts. (Not sure where or how you get the storage space). 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Not sure 4. No 5. Work (not sure), Personal (See Twitch clip Directory) 6. Likely 7. Not Livestock and not sure really on the rest. 8. Fuel prices will be realistic but the Governor can change it but it will be capped to how high and how low it can go. 9. Yes, cars and other vehicles can break down. 10. The Speedometer will be fully functional. All of the car things will be functional. 11. Cool Idea, I will give this/ forward this idea to the devs for you. 12. You can be a car mechanic (See twitch clips directory. 13. For your Driving license and more things like becoming qualified to be a police officer, Fire Fighter or EMS you have to watch a tutorial before getting the license or qualification to get such a career. 14. You can eat and drink at restaurants

Nope, You cannot host a server on your PC. You must Rent a server and this is the Only option, otherwise you can join an Official server! @Aerotactics This is the answer on another post. The twitch clip explains and answers the tutorial questions. There will probably be online tutorials made by the team and/or the community. There's also some features in the game that requires passing a small tutorial, for example passing your driver's licence in game, or when you apply for the police officer career. Some other stuff will probably be with a little bit of trial and error, like the more risky stuff (*cough* making meth *cough*). Here's a clip that explains a little bit about the kind of tutorials you'll expect to see in the game: https://clips.twitch.tv/BraveUninterestedEchidnaArgieB8

Just adding some screenshots in here. Some may not be the final product, but are pretty close to what you'll see in game. I think I've seen Jade work on one of the apartments, not sure if it was one from these blueprints: Then there's these lovely screenshots, but contains a few placeholders. It'll be polished before the module releases don't worry.

im glad to FINALLY see some gameplay and action i have been wondering what it would be like for the longest...i think it looks great but in the video game world you can never expect great things when the game is in development...these people are working as hard as possible and i personally appreciate it...keep up the good works guys!!! <3

So as a (hopefully) major suit design and manufacturing company, I plan on having a prestigious feeling to my brand, I want you to be able to know that a person is of high-class by the fact that they are wearing my product. Because of this, I need a recognisable brand and for that to work I need people to see it. Because of this, I will be offering a business package deal, where if your employees purchase our products through your company, we will offer the company a small commission based on the volume of sales. For example, if we see that your employees are buying our products at a rate of 20 units monthly on average, your commission will be higher than if we are getting 10 units of sales on average. To make this system more appealing to the employees, we will offer the company a discount on those products. So, a £500 suit may only cost £450 if you buy through the company, plus the company may get a 10% commission on that £450, giving them a £45 profit from the sale. If you have 20 employees doing this monthly, that is a potential £900 profit monthly for your business. Because of the high profitability of this agreement, we can only offer it to businesses who follow our T's & C's which can be read below. Terms And Conditions - Your employees may only wear our suits that are purchased using this system for work related purposes. - You agree to pay a one-time-fee of £500 (as insurance that you will promote our system). - The company agrees not to resell our products at any time. - If there is a damaged product, it must be returned to Keys High-End Apparel as soon as possible with a detailed report on the damages. - This system may only be used by employees of the business that is using this system. Let me know below if this is something you think your business is interested in, and we can discuss this further. Thanks.
