    The past months here at the studio have been hectic, but our labors are paying off. It is with regret that I must make the decision to push back the public release of the Town Square module from April 23; however, the delay will be quite minor. Because this is now the second delay to an official firm release date, and because we expect this delay to be short-lived, we are as of this announcement releasing the Asylum Task Tracker. The new task tracker, visible on the Town Square section of the official website (here's a link for you), offers the Identity community and fans absolute transparency in our development progress. You can now see the tasks we have to complete before we're ready for the module to be publicly available. It will be updated each and every day. The list is not long, and displays all tasks since the tracker was created only a day ago. When all of the tasks are completed, of which none are major, Town Square will be released on Steam and available for play. Furthermore, the new Identity website is on schedule for a release just next week! The new website will come with all sorts of cool new features and we'll be building on it constantly as we move forward, too. With the release of the new website, I'm also going to begin regular Identity Insider releases. These Insider publications will add a ton of very detailed information on key systems within Identity. Delays are unfortunately a reality of all game development, whether a game is being produced by a large studio with hundreds of developers or a small team, such as ours, with only dozens. We faced unforeseeable technical issues recently; however, all of the issues we had have been fully resolved and, as you can see with the new tracker, release is extremely close. As soon as we get some final bits of art in place, we're going to compile a Town Square trailer video and begin showing off the game and environments on our development streams. So to sum it all up, keep an eye on the new tracker (see that link above) and follow our progress. The tracker will be updated once per day as it has to be done manually. Once we get our production software updated so that it can be automated, it'll be a live display. I also want to say that you to our loyal community and fan-base. Delays are never a fun thing to experience with any game, so everyone here in the studio is working overtime like crazy to get you into our world. You'll be in the Town Square very soon and this is going to make the game a much better experience. I'm really excited for our first module release as it's shaping up to be a really fun and beautiful experience. In fact, the Town Square is much more than I even though it would have been early on; I'm extremely happy with what we've put together. I hope you enjoy the peak behind the scenes with the new task tracker and we'll be seeing you in the square soon!

    Last month, you stated that you were nearly done but needed a little bit longer to finish up, and so gave yourselves an extra month to deliver the TS module. This, was clearly intentional lies. Judging by your dev tracker, you haven't completed UI, UX, gameplay, animations, 2D graphics, character art, environment, props, technical art, or systems. How could you have possibly been 'nearly done' last month when the most basic elements weren't completed. Last delay, you made it out as if you just needed to smoothen out some animations or design a new font, which was intentional deceitfulness. I ask you this, what have you completed 100%? Because it seems to me the most basic elements of a game aren't even close to being done, so what exactly is done?

    Here's a tip, don't give a date if you're going to keep delaying. Can you really blame people for being pissed at this point? I sure as hell don't. We all knew this would happen anyway because it seems to be a recurring theme. You guys make a big announcement that things are going great to get everyone's hopes up and then when it comes close to release date oh look conveniently there's a setback like always. Hate to say it paratus but I can't be surprised if people start to think we're being strung along. Twice you guys have said this is being released on such and such date and twice you've retracted it less than 5 days before expected date arrives. To all of us that seems like you guys are just throwing dates out there and then extending it. The last time you delayed this you said everything was almost done and that you only needed an extra month yet now you've delayed this once again and this time there isn't even a valid reason. Suspicious is the first thing we're all thinking sorry but it's a fair and valid statement

    Unfortunately threads like this put doubts in people's minds, someone like me who has had full faith from day one now doesn't know where to stand because my mind is pondering on whether it is a scam. Deep down I believe this is genuine but the lack of communication from the devs doesn't help anyone and only makes it worse when the delays happen

    The module is simultaneously an alpha and a very small (incomplete) portion of the actual game. What people are getting at is there's all this talk about polishing and making it 100%, but it's well understood to be a very early look into the game, something that's supposed to ensure us that they're actually doing something. It is well understood that the game will still be in development and subject to massive changes. It's naive to think that they're going to achieve something that's 100% by any reasonable stretch of the imagination, especially for a module. The problem is we still haven't seen anything that suggests they've actually got a game. April 23rd was a moment of truth, and it's been a pretty damning blow -- I cannot depend on anything these people say. It's so unfortunate that what could have been an exciting weekend for the community has turned out to be another disappointment.

    Don't really know how to start this so Ill just get right into my opinion. I have been waiting for a game like this for so long, the idea of a standalone version of Role-playing in a GTA like environment (No I'm not comparing them). Now obviously there is the GTA mod for role-playing like the old SAMP, but this is a game thats notion is role-playing elements at the core. I have little hope for official/public servers (at this point) but I do not know how they will be handled rules wise, but private servers with a white-listing process I believe will be the healthy option. The issue for so many games these days is hype, the moment we hear an announcement, see a trailer and/or see game play, we start forming our opinions with what we're presented. This leads to the expectation of receiving what we feel we are promised but It seems over the last several years we have forgotten what ALPHA testing is, what BETA testing is and in the case of INDENTITY, modules. Before you jump to the conclusion and say 'but we've been waiting for years' let me ask 'would you prefer they release the game with bugs and every-one cries that the TESTING phase of the game has bugs'? because thats what happens when you rush a game. GTA 4 releasing in 2008 and GTA 5 releasing in 2013... That's 5 years. Now the first announcement for GTA 5 was in late 2011 so from announcement to release is 2 years, 2 years (if not more for full development) for a well funded, popular and talented company with more then 1000 people working on GTA 5. But people expect a brand new company Asylum Entertainment Inc to release a fully working game with minimal bugs/issues in roughly the same time?. (Yes GTA 5 is a bigger game but they also had 1000+ people working on it and it took 3 years for an announcement) Now I haven't been following INDENTITY that closely, So from a quick glance at the forums due to the upcoming town square release Iv seen a number of people complaining about the wait time which from what I gathered is about 3 years. In 3 years a brand new company has released some game play and trailers of a brand new game. I guarantee Asylum Entertainment Inc doesn't have over 1000 people working on this game, let alone experienced people (This is NOT meant as an insult to the devs) so in my opinion, they've done pretty well for 3 years (again the average time I see mentioned in the complaints). The other complaint I had noticed is the communication from the devs is rather poor, now please remember they are humans, they have a life outside of developing this game. They probably have full-time jobs since they need to support themselves/and their families not to mention time off. However I can understand the frustration of poor communication from devs, I understand we all want to play this game, we want to know whats going on and when this and that is happening and we don't like having information being dropped on us when its delays or other issues because we have paid money for a product and expect some sort of service and product for that. It seems some people (NOT ALL) feel entitled because they willingly pay for a product regardless of knowing it is still in development and by a new small team company. I feel like I need to mention as well that this is module 1 that is being delayed... Module 1 is the core aspect of the game, they need it to function properly, where as module 2 and 3 are the extra content so they need module 1 to work as intended, which I would like them to be able to achieve. Better that then a buggy nu-optimized release. Please remain realistic about the devs, please remain optimistic about the game itself, please express concerns (in a reasonable manner). BUT PLEASE DO NOT BITCH ON THE FORUMS WHEN YOU PAID MONEY FOR A PRODUCT YOU KNEW FULL WELL WAS STILL BEING DEVELOPED BY A NEW COMPANY. This is my opinion, this is not meant as malicious or to insult anyone so please do not flame me but I would like to know what you're opinion is. Thank you

    I find it funny how people get so aggravated over a delay. It happens, bitching like a bunch of pussies isn't going to help anything. I've been following the game's development with a friend of mine since before this website was even up, the only thing you can do to not go stir crazy waiting for the game is to merely check in every month or so, check any updates, and if the game isn't out, go on with your fucking life for another month, and check in again. Don't bother responding to me about how the Asylum team has lost your trust because I couldn't care less and I'm sure there are plenty of others who don't want to hear your gripes either, even some who've been following the game since day one. They're working with a million dollar budget, I'd rather them take another two years to make a fantastic game rather than release an unfinished product that I've spent sixty dollars on.

    They shouldn't be announcing a f*****g release date in the first place. If they can't get their shit done on time then don't get people's hopes up thinking it'll come out, they've had more than enough chances and time and they've had nothing to show for it except a two minute clip that's taken nearly 3 years to give us. Highly unprofessional frankly. Anyone can post rendered pictures but we want to see actual game play footage so we know this ain't bullshit, yet we can't even get a simple trailer, why you ask? Because at this stage I'm starting to think they've not actually got anything and have just been taking us for mugs, sure as hell feels like it

    THE PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY PARTY (P.R.P.) The ANTHEM of "The People's Revolutionary Party": (SHALL BE EDITED AND REVISED OVERTIME) Name: The People's Revolutionary Party (P.R.P.) Founder/Representative: Damien Malik Ideology: Direct-Democratic Communism Explanation of the ideology: The Direct-Democratic Communist State shall include: A Communist State involves providing each and every single proletarian (labourer) with free, unlimited, and sustainable food, clothing, shelter, energy, education, and healthcare. In the process, the proletarian-state (worker-owned state) shall seize the means of production within a centralized economy in order to ensure that each and every single human being attains the basic necessities to life. Finally, the idea of "class" shall be abolished in order to prevent the bourgeoisie from exploiting the citizens of the state. A Direct-Democracy involves providing citizens with the ability to elect Laws that shall be enacted by the representative of The People's Revolutionary Party, rather than to elect a representative that enacts Laws and policies on behalf of the people. In other terms, in order to prevent the representative from misrepresenting the interests of the proletariat, the representative MUST fulfill the either ACCEPTED or REJECTED proposal by the majority of the citizens within the state or city. Thus, the state is truthfully governed by the PEOPLE based on the sole premise that the PEOPLE elect Laws and policies rather than representatives within office. Hypothetically, if the representative refrains from fulfilling the elected demand of the public, excluding for unconstitutional purposes, the proletarian shall possess every Right to impeach the representative through either peaceful OR violent means. The constitution shall mention that the Law enforcement officers of the state shall be OBLIGATED to overthrow the representative that does not represent the ELECTED decision of the majority, excluding unconstitutional policies, rather than to defend the representatives as it's public servants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DEFINITIONS: Citizen: According to The People's Revolutionary Party, a "Citizen" is identified as an EMPLOYED LABOURER. Any individual that INTENTIONALLY and VOLUNTARILY chooses to remain unemployed, excluding students, physically disabled individuals, and mentally disabled individuals, shall NOT be classified as a citizen of the state. In other terms, a VOLUNTARILY unemployed individual is NOT granted with ANY benefits or Rights by The People's Revolutionary Party considering that the Rights are applied to LABOURERS or WORKING-CLASS CITIZENS. Constitution of The People's Revolutionary Party: 1. Freedom of Expression: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to express their opinion to the public, excluding hate-speech that may provoke acts of violence within the nation. 2. Right to Food: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to attain a three-course meal during the day. 3. Right to Water: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to sanitary water. 4. Right to Shelter: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to possess a dwelling place with a heating/cooling system, a bed, a fridge, a stove, and a roof over their heads. 5. Right to be Clothed: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to possess clothing in order to survive the cold and/or warm environments. 6. Right to Energy: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to possess energy within their dwelling place, including fuel for their vehicles. 7. Right to Healthcare: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to a doctor, hospital bed, and medication. 8. Right to Education: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to be educated within primary, secondary, and post-secondary educational institutions. 9. Right to Mobility: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to travel throughout the city without any interference, unless the subject infringes the criminal code. 10. Right to Bear Arms: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to possess, own, and travel with a firearm, excluding former felons that have been charged for committing a violent criminal act. 11. Right to Participation: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to participate within Direct-Democratic elections regarding the foreign and domestic political, economic, social, and militaristic policies of the state/city. 12. Right to Protect: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to utilize REASONABLE FORCE against any individual that intends to inflict harm against a human being through unconstitutional and unlawful means. 13. Right to Exist: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to EXIST, despite their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, sexual preference, religious belief, age, nationality, language, physical or mental disability, and political spectrum. This right does NOT include individuals that commit criminal acts. 14. Right to Remain Silent: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to remain silent within any political, legal, social, militaristic, executive, legislative, or economic procedures. In other terms, citizens possess the Right to remain silent, regardless of the situation. 16. Right to Personal Space: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to Personal Space, excluding during circumstances in-which the state possesses probable cause to breach one's personal space for legal, political, or security purposes. 15.. Right to Revolt: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to utilize REASONABLE FORCE, through peaceful or violent means, in order to overthrow a political leader that commits one of the following offenses: ---> i. Misrepresentation: An act of "Misrepresentation" involves MISREPRESENTING a CONSTITUTIONAL LAW that is proposed by The People through Direct-Democratic Means. In other terms, an act of "Misrepresentation" involves REJECTING a CONSTITUTIONAL proposition that is presented by The People via a Direct-Democratic Election. ---> ii. Unconstitutionalism: An act of "Unconstitutionalism" involves REPRESENTING an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW that is proposed by The People through Direct-Democratic Means. In other terms, an act of "Unconstitutionalism" involves ACCEPTING an UNCONSTITUTIONAL proposition that is presented by The People via a Direct-Democratic Election. ---> iii. Counter-Revolutionarism: An act of "Counter-Revolutionarism" involves INTENTIONALLY neglecting an individual's Right to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. An act of "Counter-Revolutionarism" is not applied to citizens that are imprisoned regarding the inability to attain access to education. Additionally, a citizen that VOLUNTARILY remains unemployed, despite being presented with the opportunity of a job, cannot attain benefits from the state (excluding extremely physically and mentally disabled subjects). Thus, an act of "Counter-Revolutionarism" does not apply to INTENTIONALLY unemployed individuals considering that The People's Revolutionary Party merely assists LABOURERS of the state. Furthermore, Law enforcement officers shall be obligated to determine whether the "victim" truthfully lacks the funds to attain food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education during either the "Excess Cycle" or "Classist Period" (Cycles, Periods, and Ages are listed BELOW). In the process, The People are expected to provide evidence confirming that the representative had INTENTIONALLY neglected to provide an individual with access to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. Finally, The People must present evidence confirming that the individual is truthfully neglected the Right to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. If it is not the case, the subject shall be charged for committing the act/offense of "Perjury" (shall be a Criminal Law within the Criminal Code). Otherwise, the representative shall be EXPECTED to provide the individual with the Right to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education within SEVEN DAYS. Failure to provide the victim with Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education shall result in being overthrown by The People. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The People's Revolutionary Court: The People's Revolutionary Courts shall be divided into three sections: 1. The People's Constitutional Court: "The People's Constitutional Court" involves charging and/or defending individuals, regardless of their authority, for committing unconstitutional offenses. Usually, members of "The People's Revolutionary Party" are charged for committing Unconstitutional acts that may result in a suspension of their membership, termination of their membership, or imprisonment COMBINED with a verbal and written apology to The People via a speech. The procedure involves randomly selecting thirteen jurors via a PUBLIC RAFFLE in order to determine whether the individual is "guilty" or "not guilty" for committing an Unconstitutional offense of either "Misrepresentation", "Unconstitutionalism", or "Counter-Revolutionarism". A lawyer shall be presented to the defendant and prosecutor, combined with a THIRD PARTY Lawyer that critically analyses and questions both parties (defendant and prosecutor) on behalf of The People considering that THE PEOPLE possess every Right to propose questions and critical statements regarding the case. In other terms, the "Third Lawyer" is "The People's Lawyer" that represents the observers of the offense (The offense of "Misrepresentation" and "Unconstitutionalism" shall be observed by each and every citizen within the island). 2. The People's Criminal Court: "The People's Criminal Court" involves charging and/or defending citizens regarding offenses that infringe the criminal code of the state/city/island. The defendant and prosecutor shall be presented with a Lawyer in order to represent their stance within the case. Finally, thirteen jurors shall be randomly selected and summoned to the courts via a PUBLIC RAFFLE. 3. The People's Civil Court: "The People's Civil Court" involves resolving civil disputes such as divorces, contract agreements (different from theft), and numerous other civil matters that are not deemed to be a criminal offense. However, certain civil disputes may be transferred to "The People's Criminal Court" considering that a breach in a contract agreement (could be classified as an act of theft) or an act of spousal abuse may be mentioned within "The People's Civil Court", resulting in resolving a criminal case within the "The People's Criminal Court". Each party shall be presented with a lawyer in order to defend their case. In the process, either a JUDGE that is APPOINTED by "The People's Revolutionary Party" or FIVE JURORS that are randomly selected via a public raffle shall form a conclusion regarding the case. Finally, both parties shall be capable of determining whether the case is resolved by an appointed Judge or a randomly selected group of five jurors. If an agreement cannot be formed, the decision to either appoint a judge or randomly select five jurors shall be formed via a raffle. Each and every single court procedure shall consist of a "PEOPLE'S ADVISER", a "P.A." shall be responsible for REVIEWING the information to the jurors in order to ensure that each and every juror is WELL-INFORMED of the Constitutional, Criminal, and Civil Laws that are enacted within the state. The "People's Adviser" is expected to provide jurors with an OBJECTIVE analysis of the entire case in order for the jurors to produce a WELL-INFORMED conclusion during the verdict. The People's Revolutionary Party's "Economic" Cycles + Taxation System "Excess Cycle": The "Excess Cycle" indicates that the state consists of an EXCESS of commodities and services due to OVERPRODUCTION and UNDER-CONSUMPTION. For example, if the state produces an excess of 1000 cans/bags of coffee, each and every single citizen shall possess 100 cans/bags of coffee during that time period. In other terms, an "EXCESS" of goods results in abolishing the "Revolutionary Tax" (100% taxation on every citizen) in order to form a UNIVERSAL TAX that taxes each and every single human being a percentage that is above 5% and beneath 50%. Universal Taxation: Universal Tax in-between 6%-49% "The Classist Period": The "Classist Period" indicates that a major division has been formed within the classes. In other terms, the income-inequality gap has expanded to the extent that the "Classes" have been divided into three main groups: The Proletariat Class, Petty-Bourgeois Class, and Bourgeois Class. Thus, an "Income-Tax" shall be formed based on the FIVE QUNTILE CLASS-BASED SYSTEM: INCOME TAX: 1. Upper Bourgeois Class (Highest taxation) 2. Upper-Middle Bourgeois Class (Second highest taxation) 3. Middle/Petty-Bourgeois Class (Third highest taxation) 4. Lower-Middle Proletarian Class (Minuscule taxation) 5. Lower Proletarian Class (Minimal taxation) "The Revolutionary Age": The "Revolutionary Age" indicates that the classes have remain divided, despite the income-tax. In the process, the "Income Taxation" policy does not provide individuals with Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. Thus, The People's Revolutionary Party shall be expected to enact a "Revolutionary Tax" that ensures that each and every single human being attains access to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education within the PLANNED ECONOMY: Revolutionary Tax: 100% Universal Taxation that is applied to each and every single human being within the state. The Revolutionary Tax shall ensure that each and every single human being attains access to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. The cycles/periods circulate in the following order: "The Classist Period", "The Revolutionary Age", and "The Excess Cycle". Examples of The Order of Cycles/Periods/Ages: 1. "The Classist Period" 2. "The Revolutionary Age" 3. "The Excess Cycle" 4. "The Classist Period" 5. "The Revolutionary Age" 6. "The Excess Cycle" ETC... -------------------------------------------------------------- HIRING! (E-mail me) Roles WITHIN the organization: 1. Political Members and Representatives 2. Political Advisors (Office Administration) 3. Economic Advisors (Office Administration) 4. Surveyor (Surveys nation... consensus report) 5. Propaganda Expert/Agent (media) 6. Journalists (media) 7. Reporters (media) 8. Distributors (Distribution of goods) etc... more to come. Roles OUTSIDE of the organization: 1. Security Guards Application: Full Name: Current Occupation: Former Occupation(s): Residence/Address: Reason for joining: <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Coalitions: 1. The Anti-Right Coalition: - The People's Revolutionary Party - The Radical Democratic-Left Party ============================================================================================ PRODUCE QUESTIONS IN ORDER TO ATTAIN RESPONSES THAT SHALL BE ADDED TO THE MAIN POST: Q&A (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS): Q: 3 words my friend: Tyranny of the Majority. What if the majority decides to Lynche members of the other half because they are criminals when they are actually innocent? What if the majority decides to subjugate minorities in order to better their own lives? By your government, the Majority has tyranny. A: Each and every citizen deserves the Right to Life, Liberty, and Personal Space. Thus, any act that infringes the Constitution, including lynching the majority without probable cause, is a criminal offense to the party. In the process, lynchings will be prohibited considering that the death penalty is not a necessary or ethical method towards reinforcing positive behaviors and removing negative behaviors within society. Q: How much privacy? Do certain people get more privacy than others? What about the right to not be verbally abused? What if the majority classifies a dirty rag as clothing for the minority? I could go on forever. The point is, the majority has too much power. A: How much privacy? Each and every human being possesses the Right to privacy as long as subjects do not infringe the criminal Laws of the state. In other terms, government agents are expected to attain probable cause or a warrant from a judge, in order to infringe one's Right to privacy. The majority cannot enact such Laws against the minority considering that it infringes their Right to Liberty. In fact, one cannot enact any policies that causes one group to be supposedly inferior or superior to another group, excluding certain government-based jobs that involves attaining certain privileges. For example, a Law enforcement officer shall possess the privilege to search and seize a criminal's items during an arrest. Verbal abuse shall be measured within the judicial system depending on whether the verbal abuse is an act of harassment. An individual possesses the Right to state "F*ck you" as long as it is not a repetitive act that offends an individual or party. However, an individual that possesses a permit to protest within the street possesses every Right to express their ideals within their physical boundaries without being charged for harassment considering that the "victim" could easily depart from the location. Q: Sounds identical to a welfare state. What will prevent citizens from remaining unemployed due to the amount of benefits and hand-outs that are given by the government? A: Individuals will not attain such benefits from the state unless they are laborers within the state, excluding individuals that are either too physically or mentally disabled to fulfill a single role within the system. Either way, a physically disabled person would possess a job that does not involve physical labour while a mentally disabled individual shall fulfill a role that is functional and desirable for their precious minds. Q: The party's policy on "Hate Speech" and "Discrimination" could be abused in order to serve the interests of the state. Would "hating the government" be classified as "Hate-Speech"? A: Any acts of discrimination is intolerable as long as the city/state is governed by The People's Revolutionary Party. However, groups shall be prosecuted if their acts include promoting hate-speech towards another group considering that it may incite violence against a group based on their ideals. For example, a Neo-Nazi cannot express his hatred towards the Negro population considering that it may provoke radical individuals to commit acts of violence against an individual based on the colour of their skin. In the process, an individual is capable of expressing their opposing ideals against the political party as long as it does not promote violence against a representative that abides by the P.R.P. Constitution. One must understand that it is LEGAL for an individual to state "overthrow the government" if the individual commits an act of "Misrepresentation", excluding the rejection of unconstitutional propositions. However, one cannot incite violence against the party as long as the party remains constitutional with it's actions considering that inciting violence would infringe the party's Right to Life and Liberty. Disagreement is separate from hate-speech. Q: How shall the state be funded? What is the taxation plan for the party? A: Within a planned economy, resources shall be re-allocated according to one's needs. Thus, the SUPPLY of PRODUCED GOODS and SERVICES shall be equally distributed amongst the people. For example, the production of 100,000 bags of coffee beans shall result in providing each and every citizen with 100 bags of coffee (1000 people per server) etc... It shall depend on the circumstances at the time considering that 100% taxation shall be necessary during an economic crisis that involves government intervention. However, during a time period that involves receiving an excess of goods, the taxation shall be formed solely based on an "income-tax" that is mathematically and scientifically measured by our economists. Funding? The people shall produce commodities and services that shall be distributed to the public. Simple as it sounds, it is effective when each and every human being fulfills the role that they desire within society. In other terms, the "100% Tax" shall be revoked as long as each and every single human being attains free food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education combined with other luxuries that are equally distributed by the party. However, the "100% tax" shall be re-enacted if the income-inequality gap increases to the extent that it forms a division between classes. Q: Will all citizens earn a equal amount for each job, or will you be payed more for the more intensive labor (Mentally&physically). For example a truck driver compared to a construction worker. Or will you drop that aspect of communism and allow people to still earn more then the person next to him/her. And if so how high will taxation be? A: In reality, it often depends on the circumstances. The objective of the party involves ensuring that the citizens fulfill roles that they desire for non-materialistic purposes. Thus, an individual should function as a doctor for the sole purpose of functioning as a doctor rather than functioning as a doctor in order to accumulate an extensive amount of wealth. Thus, the party would expect individuals to be paid the identical wage in order to ensure that one's labour is "internalized" rather than "externalized". http://aluceromontano.tripod.com/id11.html However, as long as each and every human being is capable of attaining Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education, wages could be divided according to one's internalized labour. Thus, a doctor may earn more than a garbage man/woman as long as each and every human being attains Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. During periods of overproduction, taxation shall be decreased to a simple "income-tax" that involves increasing taxation to individuals with a higher income and decreasing taxation to individuals with a lower-income based on a "five-quintile" class structure. 1. Upper Class 2. Upper-Middle Class 3. Middle Class 4. Lower-Middle Class 5. Lower Class Overproduction results in enacting an "INCOME-TAX" considering that each and every human being shall attain an EXCESS of Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. For example, the production of 100,000 cans/bags of coffee shall provide each citizen with 100 cans/bags of coffee, indicating that a commodity is in EXCESS to the public. However, during a time period of underproduction and underconsumption, the "Income-Tax" shall be abolished in exchange for a "100% Universal Tax" in order for the party to distribute resources a bit more effectively, according to the NEEDS of the people. Q: Your view on marriage? Gay marriage? Beastiality? A: Marriage shall remain identical to the current system, excluding the establishment of the idea of "ownership". Thus, the items that are shared between both individuals or partners within a "legal bond" does not consist of "private property" considering that "private property" shall be replaced with "personal items". It merely involves the elimination of the capitalist idea of "ownership".Homosexuality, alongside forming homosexual relationships and legal bonds, shall be a legal and acceptable act that is supported by The People's Revolutionary Party considering that it is one's Right to Life and Liberty.It shall be illegal for human beings to engage in sexual relations or a legal bond with an animal considering that the animal is incapable of voluntarily consenting to such agreements via a verbal or written contract. It shall be illegal for adults to engage in sexual relations or a legal bond with children considering that a child's mind is not well-developed to form to voluntary decision to engage in either sexual relations or a legal bond with an adult through a verbal or written contract. However, it shall be legal for a sixteen year-old to consent to sexual relations with another individual that is in-between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. Q: It is impossible for a democracy to be present within Communism. In reality, it is only effective within Capitalist systems. What is your opinion on such a claim? A: Communism and Democracy are 100% synonymous with one another considering that Communist serves the interests of the whole while a democracy serves the interests of a majority under Constitutional guidelines. In reality, Democracies are antonymous to capitalism based on the sole premise that a capitalistic system serves the interest of an INDIVIDUAL'S PRIVATE INTERESTS while a democracy serves the interests of a MAJORITY'S NATIONAL INTEREST. Usually, the INDIVIDUAL'S PRIVATE INTEREST involves wealthy bourgeois multi-millionaires and billionaires countering against the political proposals of working-class citizens considering that the MAJORITY of citizens within any given nation is within the lower three quintiles of the financial class-based system. Thus, politicians within advanced capitalist Neo-Liberal democracies often serve the interests of the top two dominant quintiles despite possessing a majority population of the top three lowest quintiles. In other terms, the Neo-Liberal advanced capitalist bourgeois-state serves the interests of the wealthy via capitalism while neglecting the democratic decisions of the public considering that elected officials do not fulfill their promises in public in order to serve the interests of the bourgeoisie/wealthy land owners. In conclusion, capitalism is NOT synonymous with democratic ideals while COMMUNISM is 100% synonymous with Direct-Democratic ideals. Q: How shall the P.R.P. provide 300-1000 citizens with free housing? A: The taxation system shall ensure that each and every single human being is capable of residing within a two-bedroom apartment, regardless as to whether the state is in the "Income Tax" stage or "Universal/Revolutionary Tax" stage. Q: How shall a "Direct-Democracy" be formed within the state? A: The people propose ideals and and vote on the proposition in order for The People's Revolutionary Party to review whether the proposition is "CONSTITUTIONAL" or "UNCONSTITUTIONAL". If the Law or policy is Unconstitutional, it shall be REJECTED by the representative of the party. If the Law is Constitutional, it shall be accepted by the representative of the party. If the representative ACCEPTS an Unconstitutional policy, the representative shall be overthrown by a COMBINATION of the PARTY, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND PEOPLE for enacting an Unconstitutional Law and committing an act of "Unconstitutionalism". If the representative REJECTS a Constitutional policy, the representative shall be overthrown by a COMBINATION of the PARTY, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND PEOPLE for committing the offense of "Misrepresentation".

    i really thinking about getting my refund, since the dev never keep there words anymore, all we have seen so far is just placeholders, not even new pictures of the townsquare... Not the video that they told us some dev blogs ago. and i dont know why the devs just dont show us anything to prove us wrong. Put a video up of the town square so they dont lose anymore money.... but they dont... even on thursday stream on twitch, said one of the dev, everything is going to the plan, and its going out on monday? and now another delay......

    If they start closing threads because they are negative towards the game, it shows to potential buyers that the devs are not to be trusted, and are against free speech. If you take your fanboyism glasses off and put on your critical thinking hat, you'd understand. You don't have to agree with the negativity but you can ADD to the conversation instead of shutting it down

    Exactly, if it isn't realesed by the end of may, I will refund.

    Closing threads because you don't agree with them is pathetic. Let people show their frustration, most of us at one point have been scammed by Early Access games. If you start censoring people because they have opinions you don't like, you will lose even more people. Look at WarZ and games similar to that, where Devs have been banning people for "Wrong think". If you want "constructive" threads, then add to the conversation instead of whining to close it. Make the conversation happen

    understandable , yes. i too would rather have a polished game than some trash. especially after putting that kind of money into it. but, the further we go into this it seems the less we are told. i have watched streams and what not i have no doubt in my mind the game is in progress but theres nothing keeping me here minus false deadlines. its just like mastahakill said its cartman telling us how great it is yet we cant see it or use it.

    Won't lie. I had really high hopes for this game too but I'm thinking about throwing in the towel. I'll still try to hang onto the hope I have left for this game. You know that episode of south park when Cartman gets his own roller coaster park and won't let anybody in but talks about how great it is? That pretty much sums up how I feel. I want in but they won't let me, they talk about how great it is, but I'm not allowed in. I love the people who are trying to make this game a reality. I'm sure you guys have been really hard at work. Hanging onto hope, keep up the good work, and please deliver asap (Clip from South Park, Season 5 , Episode 6. ((I do not own this.))

    Yeah well I was thinking that today, it only took so long for the Town Square module cause its a brand new game, once thats out with the core game being in play, I don't believe cars and weapon will take to much time since the core game will already be there.

    The fact that they have consistently provided factual DATES, not to mention not "approximates" but ACTUAL DOWN TO EXACT DATES of release and then pushes it back makes me FURIOUS. If you're gonna be inefficient in your work just state it instead of making up lies and providing fake dates. I had backed this game before the release of the town square in hopes that they actually complete their job but sadly I was in false hope, once again like everyone else. I just feel bad for the people who spent a lot of money on this waste of time. Also, I would like to know how to refund cause not even 30$ is worth this joke of a company. What a disappointment.

    Few months now it's delayed again and again.... i really would like to know what's the real reason to do that again and again, and don't tell me "bugs blabla.... " it's a beta and then anyway there will be bugs. Never seen a game in beta without bugs, never... it's not a good reason. So why just don't let us see what is the level of the actual version.

    Can anyone tell me how to do a refund? Dont get me wrong, i wont say anything negative about the game itself, but those devs are a laugh. One delay after another, they have delayed this game for years now. So no, i would like to receive my money back, and wait till the game has been released, to see what the reviews be like. i really wanted to back you guys up, as this game could be a game changer. But this has gone to far.

    all the videos they have released are placeholders and bought assets - basically a concept and not actual gameplay

    I still 100% support the devs and this projects, I’m just upset they aren’t more open with the fans and waited until 3 days prior to release to delay.

    i've calmed down a lot since the delay was announced, sure get it off your chest but don't go overboard like i kind of did. i didn't realise it at the time but there is a difference between venting and going over the top

    Y'all are a fucking joke, and I hope the same few guys that have been defending the team every time they delay something feel ashamed. Your team has lost every ounce of trust I've had, its truly pathetic that you have yet to live up to a single promise you've given the community in the years this forum has been up.

    http://www.identityrpg.com/info/modules/townsquare/ i claimed that nothing was being done to show progress, evidently i was wrong and that the delay may not be as bad as i thought, so i apologise for my distress and lashing out as such

    Two years still is an absurd guess. Any guess above two months is absurd, they only need to complete 58 more tasks, they have 6 so far today, and literally thousands since 2015. In fact if they continue at this current pace of 5 or 6 tasks per day, it will be ready in only 10 days time. So there is no need to be dramatic.

    it is when twice in a row a date has been given with confidence and assurance only to be taken back just before release

    that's dangerously optimistic pal. by their track record we're looking two years away from the first module, Christ i don't want to imagine how much shit we'll go through with module 2 and 3

    Going from a date back to a progress bar is clearly regressive. Dealing with missed deadlines by dropping the deadlines isn't transparent, it's more obtuse than giving another date. I knew it would be delayed, but I had my doubts it would actually be quite this bad.

    The tasks included in that tracker are those from the time the tracker was developed, just over a day ago.

    That would be interesting, but keeping your identity hidden as a hit-man would be problematic. Maybe a signature outfit comes into play that hides your personal identity but makes your criminal personality know to many. All sounds fun, but i wanna see the punishment if one were to be caught

    Hey guys, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Motown in the discord has just confirmed another delay with no upcoming ETA. All information about the release will be through the Dev Tracker.
