    Don't assume you know anything about the person you're talking to, it just makes you look like an idiot. I actually am a software developer and I actually do make games as a hobby. Just because you don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about doesn't mean nobody else does either. I know exactly what goes into making a game, and I know that the developers for this are probably working extremely hard on it. That doesn't mean that it will turn out well, it doesn't mean I should blindly throw money at them, and it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be obligated to show the people that might be willing to give them money something to instill some faith. The first gameplay video was not a promising first look at this game, and the developers have done nothing at all to provide any sort of reassurance that the game won't actually look like that video. If they want more people to support them then they need to show something that is worth supporting. If they do release this module and raise the price without showing anything then that points to them not actually having faith in their own product, or its potential community. If they're getting a lot of negative attention then clearly they're doing something wrong. The people waiting on the fence aren't cheap, we're smart. There are hundreds of these games that fail, and it'd be stupid to blindly give them money based on some text on their website and some reference quality models that they're showing on Twitter/Facebook. I have backed a couple dozen crowdfunded games, I actually love backing these games as a matter of fact (I just bought one last night that even had a free playable demo, something Asylum could learn from), but I will not do so without seeing something that shows that the developers are living up to the promises they're making on their websites. Star Citizen is successful because of their approach and because of their transparency. Elite Dangerous is another example, same with Dauntless, Pillars of Eternity, Torment: Tide of Numenera, etc. Those games had hours worth of footage before any playable pieces were available and most of them didn't raise the price as soon as a new "module" or major update released either. Divinity Original Sin for example had over 50 video updates on the progress of the game, most of which showed new footage even if it wasn't quite finished, and kept the same price even after their full retail release. Those games were all extremely successful and the developers were more than happy to show off in-progress features, and I do the same at work with my customers. I've happily demoed changes or in-progress features to an application for customers, they understand that things aren't finished and there may be some bugs but they don't care. They're generally just happy to see that progress is being made.

    Prison is not like that, you will be able to roam and do things, like join a gang in prison, make make-shift knives etc. You will be able to play chess and other things. Prison is like a whole new game in Identity and you can request a trial/ go to the court and argue your case. If your court case fails then you can go and try break out of prison. However Jail is a small amount of time which is how you describe it. But it will be for smaller crimes.

    Black Diamond Enterprises Demonestra's Office (More darker wood and more modernized.) Themes About Us Black Diamond Enterprises is a business enterprise with many similarities of a normal Corporate Business, our goals are to be one of the best and biggest organizations out there, consisting of mostly manufacturing, transporting, security, and influence. We mostly got our inspiration from Grand Theft Auto Online's business tactics and gameplay with the whole CEO Offices and Businesses, Biker Businesses, and VIP work. We consist of a loyal crew with people willing to jump in and grind and make this Enterprise huge and booming. See ya'll soon. History Matthew Demonestra, or previously known as...Classified... started out as a middle class guy from Nashville, Tennessee as hopes of living a successful life. Life didn't want to give that to him and people, family, everything was giving him severe problems and he decided when he turned 18 was to pack up and leave. He landed on the island in hopes to start fresh and live a better life. Life here gave him shit aswell, and he was living poor and alone on the island. One day he bumped into one of his old friends Jose from back home and he saw the shitty way Matthew was in so he took to him place for awhile and discussed and catched up on alot. He told him that he was investing alot into Cryptocurrency and make a large amount of money and he wanted to start something big together. They sat in their condo for hours and hours discussing their plans. They finally decided on a Corporate Business and soon named it what it is today Black Diamond Enterprises. They used their conjoined cash to buy a classy Old Spice wooden style office in the highest building in Ash Hill and bought everything they needed for it. Jose would apoint Matthew to the CEO of Black Diamond Enterprises and soon he become his right hand COO of Black Diamond. Their plans was to make it a normally booming business legal wise, but Matthew decided to go a different route. Matthew made connections with local Mafias and large criminal organizations into making a huge profit more than any business on the island combined could think of. Matthew gathered a bunch of his old friends that were willing to take part in the whole deal and sat down and made a structure. Head of Production, Head of Smuggling, Head of Security, Head of Influence, Head of Logistics, Head of Operations, Underbosses for the heads, Sicarios for any rival organization issues, and Obreros for each section of work. They bought warehouses, Casinos, Businesses, setting up everything... all in all Matthew and Jose's simple idea of a business would turn into one of the biggest and most profitable business to their wildest dreams. Criminal Activities Drug Manufacturing, Weapon Manufacturing, Contract Killing, Illegal Gambling, High End Burglary, Racketeering, Rum Bootlegging, Loansharking, Police Corruption, Extortion, Money Laundering, Coercion, High End Hijacking. (Note: Some of the bad stuff like Coercion and Extrotion are only for dire circumstances and rivals, we're not here to hurt the general public... to either help or keep them far from harms way.)

Philips Milo Jason Bourne Associates Maxwell_Entertainment RedDoesGaming EDDIE SPAGETTI NIGGEFETY Radio Aziz Chloe Allied The Moretti Mafia The Luprano Mafia Farmers Market Bourne Car Rentals Ice Jewelers Apaches MC Information CEO of Black Diamond The Chief Executive Officer of Black Diamond, he runs the heads, underbosses, obreros, everyone with a bit of freedom to keep everyone happy. He makes connections with the deepest of organizations and plans for activities, mostly with the Operations sector. COO of Black Diamond The Chief Operating Officer of Black Diamond and the CEO's Second in Command, he runs the company just as much as the CEO, basically an extra pair of hands to work with the load. Head of Production Head of Production runs the Underboss of Production and the Obreros of that section. They'd control a variety of warehouses and places to consist of making anything and everything that'll sell for a high price, Weed, Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, PSP, LSD, Speed, Illegal Snipers, Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, Pistols, Melees, Documents, you name it, we do it and the Head of Production is the ring leader. Head of Smuggling Head of Smuggling is basically the Smuggler, anything that can be smuggled, transported, exported we do it, the Head's Underboss runs the Obreros to transport their goods quickly, swiftly, without getting in to much trouble, so this sector only hires the best in Smuggling/Trafficking. Head of Security Head of Security and its Underboss and Obreros run the sector of... well... Security, they can range from Security of High End Officials, basically keeping the Enterprise secure from any and all forms of threat. Head of Influence Head of Influence and its staff are the connections other than the CEO. They get normal people into either working with or investing into Black Diamond, their major skill in persuasion and charisma take a major part into this sector of work Head of Logistics Logistics is considered the most simple sector in Black Diamond, sorta like Velocity Logistics but with a twist, if someone needs some equipment or anything transported, we'll do it at a price, simple as that. Head of Operations The Operations sector might be considered the most hardest in Black Diamond, but also the most rewarded. Employees in this sector will have a Large area of jobs and activities to work under. Employees can go from High End Hijacking of tuner cars and luxury vehicles, to Racketeering, to Rum Bootlegging, to Loansharking, to Illegal Gambling rings, to Money Laundering, to anything imaginable, it goes here in Operations. Underboss The, well Underboss of the Heads of each sector of work. They take the work load off of the Head and control the work of the Obreros of their sector, keeping things in check as they see fit. Employees Spanish for "worker", the Obreros are the main workforce of Black Diamond and keeping it ontop. Without any Obreros, they would be nothing and Black Diamond would fail in an instant. Their designated sector is where they work at, they are the most respected piece of Black Diamond Siacrios Associates The Assocates are not fully apart of Black Diamond, just there for support or small time help or anyone will be put here until they get hired for a position in the Sectors of work. Allied The connections and allies of Black Diamond, giving the Enterprise and HUGE wide range of network in the criminal world, more trade, more profit, and less enemies come outta here.

    We don't need police/sheriff in the Town Square, we only need mall cops, because they are cheaper labour force than police/sheriff and... -They dont need weapons, maybe taser, flashlight or nightstick but mostly mall cop uses hot sauce as their primary weapon -Cheaper labour force, they will save millions of dollars for city in salaries -Mall cops uses eco friendly vehicles like segway or they walk -And they are funny

    Just that. In light of the TS Module being delayed (again), and it apparently being so close to being finished. One would think that you would see some more gameplay videoes and screenshots coming from the devs to whet the appetite of those excited and to calm the nerves of those skeptical. It's just a weird choice not too release more in my opinion. Thoughts?

    I hope we don't see any game play video ever, for the same reason I don't watch movie trailers. I want to discover everything live. The task list leading up to TS is almost finished, relax and let the dev's do their thing.

    I guess you missed the part where I'm a real software developer, as in that is my career and what I do for a living. Game development specifically is currently a hobby, software development is not. Developers asking their community for funding should be showing content, and I would guess there are actually very few examples of them not doing so. From the dozens of crowd funded games I have followed and backed Asylum is an exception, not the norm. I've followed quite a few crowd funded games (I regularly check in news and updates for about 20 and have backed roughly 30 others) and this is the first one that has had an impending release without any footage whatsoever of that release. It's also one of the only times I've seen a developer state that they're going to raise the price as soon as the first release is out, not giving anyone any time to actually see how the game runs, looks, or plays since there is no footage of the module at all.

    About 25% will be in real life appointments, food, water, shower, laundry and girlfriend. Friends outside of the game will be put on hold. 75% into the game every day.

    Salutations everyone, I just wanted to give you all a quick heads up as to how Tuesday's stream will function. The current plan is to host a regular development stream for about 45 minutes, then give John (the CEO) a moment to stream some gameplay near the end. Both streams will take place in the usual spot: https://www.twitch.tv/identityrpg The goal is to give viewers a brief tour of Town Square after he creates a character to play as. While we won't show off too many features just yet (we need a few more programming + UI tasks to be completed in order to make some features look and operate properly), the prospect of seeing a character move within Town Square's environment is quite exciting. We know many have grown fatigued of seeing Art streams, so we hope that this will be a welcome change in atmosphere. If you can't tune in on Tuesday, don't worry. I'll make sure the VOD is preserved on YouTube, and I'll most certainly be recording highlights of the stream using Twitch's Clip feature. That's all for now! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend, see you next week!

    This aint cops and crims and if you want to play that go find another game. An "average joe" will probably become richer than a criminal or vice versa. It's all player based so you dont know whos is going to be at the top. I know one gang who isn't going to be at the top and that's the Yakuza.

    I would love a glimpse of actual gameplay next week . I do not expect perfection. In fact I expect some things to break, to not look good, and to not function smoothly or as expected. To expect otherwise would not be appropriate for a pre-Alpha release. I will not assume that just because something matches the expectations I listed above, that everything will be that way, or that it will always be that way. My opinions will be tempered by the current state of the game's development. I hope that the demonstration show cases what is working and what will soon be available for the early access users to play, and not some cool things that are either a long way off, or still under consideration for inclusion in the game.

    And as a side note, too, anything that is "free", and is trying to be like Identity, will not be worth the download space. ?????? ????????????? ???. is the best life-simulation RPG developing studio on the market, and they work with heart and soul - - - for the community, not for the money.

    The thing to remember here is this isn't GTA, in fact it's GTA 10x better. In Grand theft auto you can only play the criminal and when cops arrive they instantly go to kill, the cops in identity won't do that, they'll only be allowed to use lethal force if you attempt to kill them or injure them using extreme force. Secondly you'll be able to do near enough anything such as get a job or a career ( difference is jobs get easy money but not a good source of income whereas careers are full time and bring much more money in ), own your own business or brand and sell clothing or just about anything else possibly. You'll be able to go fishing and farming and even cook meth or other drugs and distribute or use them for your own recreational purposes etc. This game will be nothing like GTA, it'll make GTA look like a playground compared to identity and because of the RP aspect you'll be able to do whatever you want in peace of mind knowing that 99.9% of the time you won't be disturbed by other players unless you come across some chancer who thinks it is GTA and wants to go try and mug every person he comes across. ( In my personal opinion I don't think young people should be allowed to play this and should be restricted to an 18+ game, after all it's based on real life and I don't want COD kiddies coming in like it's day one of a new cod game ). That said I'm looking absolutely forward with full excitement for identity and I couldn't be more excited as each day goes by and the task tracker is completed more and more, so everyone so tight and enjoy the ride, because it's coming sooner than we think and it'll be worth the wait. Thanks for reading.

    Full game probably won’t be out until 2020 or 2021 even..
