The missing arms and legs was a product of using our development client and isn't a bug to fix. The cafe isn't planned to open at release, nor is the tattoo shop. They'll be shortly after. We've shown the apartments in depth, so that wasn't a focus. You can find that video on YouTube. As for the combat video we showed, keep in mind that we're developing Identity in full. Some core features aren't in the Town Square, and it's not usually the same people working on those areas. You'll notice that area had less polish than the soon-to-be-released Town Square because it had less focus at this time

So... We're about two months behind the "definite" release date of Town Square now. I'm not one to complain at this stuff as I understand game development can take longer than expected when you really want to perfect something. However, the Town Square is essentially a beta module, so really it doesn't need to be perfect before it can be released, that said I'm really looking forward to actually getting in to see what the game looks and feels like, and how the interactions work. My biggest worry with Asylum right now, is not their failure to meet their own deadlines, but it's the complete lack of official communication. I've posted numerous times now that Asylum need to be more engaging with their community; there's nothing being released on their own official website about... well, anything. - The last announcement was April 20th. - The last dev-blog was a month ago. - The last stream was 3 days ago (quite recent, but before that, it was a month... and there's only 5 videos total on their YouTube channel). - The twitch account doesn't seem to have any real content aside from watching someone design a singular object with someone talking over it... and while it's cool to see some things being made by professionals, I really don't get why objects like this are still being made when the module is two months behind its definite release date... surely a deck-chair or lamp or whatever can wait. That's purely aesthetic extras which shouldn't be holding up development at all. - The last I heard was the TS module will be released when the new website goes live at the end of April / start of May, but still no website or any further update on that front. So what gives? Why is there an absolute void between Asylum and their own community? Either I'm missing critical information channels here that are filling these voids, or there's a massive void where there should be a huge flow of information two months past their own deadline. It really shouldn't be too difficult with a Community Manager to simply put out a quick update article every week detailing what's happening, why there are delays, what the team is working on, where the game's direction is heading etc... you know, simply engage with your community. I used to have a huge presence in Halo 3's Forge on a community site called Forge Hub, and we released several article pieces weekly... it isn't that difficult, and the staff members back then did it all for free. One article every three months is NOT keeping a community informed, and currently a lot of this community aren't just community members, they've paid in advance for this game and need to be treated like customers... and you shouldn't be misinforming and keeping your customers in the dark. EDIT: This isn't a topic to discuss the deadline, or why development is slow... it is to discuss the lack of communication, and why the communications put out there are all scattered across several different media outlets, as opposed to being uniform and on their own website.

I think this post is honest and constructive. I don't understand why you have to be either a die hard fan who doesn't question anything (PRESTON_BODHI_343) or think everything is a scam (Eschaton). It is more than acceptable to question the development direction they have taken here, as well as their lack of community engagement, especially when they talk about community as something they value. Now, I have backed this project, and I am eagerly awaiting TS just like everyone else. But at the same time, I am also unhappy with the way they have handled information and communicating what is going on so that their backers, customers, and future playerbase have a somewhat better understanding. ESPECIALLY given their poor track record. So both sides are wrong. It is perfectly reasonable to question what the heck is going on here, but calling it a scam is irritating too. We are still seeing stuff, but honestly, not enough. Also FYI, you wouldn't have one of your developers write articles each week, to your point, that wouldn't make sense when there is clearly a lot of work for them to do. BUT you could very well delegate that task to someone who is not developing. Or hire someone specifically to engage your community and such. Come on, thats pretty basic.

First of all, is it even in your jurisdiction to go after an organization of this size? I thought that was the FBI's job. Sure you might make small busts, but you're a small drop in the bucket when it comes to law enforcement against organizations like these. So before you go acting like some vigilante cop that wants to target an organization that as of this moment, has done absolutely nothing wrong, how about you make sure your own department is actually a force to be reckoned with, first? I'll end it off with another Charles de Montesquieu quote, since for whatever reason you seem to adore him. "There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice." - Charles de Montesquieu

Good shit, new name is dope

There will be no Hacking. Confirmed by Devs in a live stream when I asked

From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remember'd; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother. IDENTITY WIKI INFORMATION ON APACHES MOTORCYCLE CLUB BIO: Apaches MC is a motorcycle club founded in Chicago, Illinois. The whole foundation is said to begun in the late 60's like many other clubs, It is said that the founders were members of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion which saw many combat missions during 1966. Following their return home, the men sought after the brotherhood in the war, they found common interests which was drinking, girls and riding harleys. The small group looked for ways to sustain their new lifestyle. In the beginning, it was small white collar crimes, but with the expansion of the club, came dirtier jobs and bigger payouts. After a few months of gradually moving into the narcotic and weapon scene, the club started to get more and more comfortable with the easy money, and started opening up new chapters all over the north east and south western United States. The founder of Apaches MC, is Sergeant first class James Carter who was drafted into the Vietnam war in early 1965. He spent two tours fighting in operation Kansas and operation Washington in 1966 and later fought in 1967. Upon returning home in 1968, he founded Apache's Motorcycle Club in his home town of northern Chicago, with his closest tight nit group of friends from his squad. Later in 1970, a new chapter of Apache's was born in the eastern side of Chicago, both were very feared chapters who partied and lived together on a daily basis. The Apaches MC are well known to be vicious when fighting, like that of their Native American counterpart. A well known story of that is between a rival club the Chicago Horsemen MC in the mid 1970's, where several Apache's set up a string of tire wire across the road efficiently killing two oncoming rival club members. The remaining Horsemen ended up crashing, and were succumb to Apaches waiting on the side with bats and wrenches, and they were ultimately beaten to death. The Apaches MC is only known to the majority of the public, as being bunch of Harley enthusiasts. To the law enforcement and other criminal organizations they are known as the most ruthless gangs to still live in today's society. They have three main goals, money, power and turf. Joining the Apaches isn't easy, they are small, and ultra secretive, about 300-400 strong, spread across 6 states, this ruthless gang doesn't warm up to outsiders. Recently opening up a chapter in Roseport, the motorcycle club intends on taking over Identity.

He is the clubs figurehead and is usually the spokesman when dealing with the police or the media. The prez is the chairman at club meetings and represents the chapter at national meetings. Vice President: The Vice president is second in charge and fills in when the president is away. The vice prez is often the heir apparent to the clubs leadership although this isn't always the case. It's his job to make sure that matters passed at club meetings are carried out satisfactorily. Sergeant at Arms: The Sergeant at Arms is basically the gang's ' policeman ' although most would not like to be referred to in this way.

The sergeant looks after the gang's firearms and other weapons. Secretary: The secretary is responsible for the clubs paperwork.

The Secretary is usually the person who handles the proceeds of the clubs illegal activity. Patch Members: Patch members are members of the club who have earned the right to wear the clubs colours, after a suitable period spent ' prospecting '. They take part in the running of the club and attend the gang's weekly meeting ('church'). They are commonly refereed to as ' members' or in some clubs ' patches'. Prospect: A prospect is a ' prospective member ' of the club who is yet to earn his patch. Prospects are expected to do what they're told and follow the orders of patch members. They must be prepared to engage in illegal activities to prove their loyalty to the gang. Prospects have no voting rights and do not attend meetings unless invited in. The prospect period can be up to 1 week ingame, it all depends on how you perform and if the club votes you in as a successful prospect by earning their respect. Hang-Around's: This stage is before ' prospective member ' which is known as a ' hang-around '. The purpose of the hang-around stage is to become known by all members before being accepted as a prospect. The hang-around period is purely based on whether an officer in the club thinks you have what it takes to prospect for us.

If a member is caught disobeying, the club will call a secret meeting and put the member on trial they will first have 3 strikes if they exceed this strikes they will then be voted out (could result in death). 3. Easiest way to keep a secret between 3 people, kill 2 of them. 4. Take the club seriously, but remember to also have fun, stick by the rules of the club and the server, and you'll have a blast. 5. Upon failure of paying dues within four weeks, member shall be suspended and turn in his colors.

Testing is actually a much longer process than coding usually... for example, you code the key handler to pop up your interface under a certain key press... you also have to factor in what happens around all scenarios in that key press; is the player dead, are they moving, are they already performing an action, is an interface already open, has the key been pressed once or multiple times, is the action of they key press already in progress... etc etc. Testing can be an extremely difficult process to go through because you have to try think of all circumstances that a player would experience when pressing that particular key, or triggering that specific event. Obviously once you identify a bug, you then have to adjust the coding to rectify it, which then means you need to restart the testing.

Holy mother of Christ give it a rest already. You say it's his job to keep the forums clear of garbage, hello?? This kind of post contradicts your message. Maybe if less people like you didn't make useless posts slamming people like lucky and the devs maybe things would be smoother. What the f**k more do you want from lucky that he hasn't already said? Jesus Christ the self entitlement is real. He can't answer questions he doesn't have the answer to and can't give information he doesn't have. If you can't grasp the concept of how this works do us all a favor and don't make a post. Cus so far all I'm seeing is someone going round in circles, lucky gives you the best answer he can and here we are you not listening and just repeating yourself. If you have such a problem go and message John, otherwise shut the hell up already. @luckyduck can you or someone else lock this thread please? While I understand it's easier to remove notifications it's a wasted thread and is just pointless.

Full agreement. I've been saying this stuff for awhile now - as a fellow indie developer, I think dev to playerbase communication is imperative! Organization is important as well. Consistency. And transparency.

Remember, its most likely you both won't even be in the same server. (It is currently unknown how cross-server organizations will work.) Remember, though, no meta-gaming and everyone will be happy.

^^ Boom, mic drop

Hello, @davidohgdf, we see that you are not an idiot and can open a history book and realize the terror and poverty communism brings to the workers that they "intend" to protect. this is why we invite you to join "better dead than red" an anti communist organization set up to protect the working class, law enforcement and business owners from the dangers of communism. please feel free to join our discord and we can talk further https://discord.gg/AY8AZNE

the game will come out eventual but if it dose not come out by the end of the year we all got robbed

Oh shut up you whinge bag and cry us a river. We don't care for your trolling attitude. Go back to call of duty or wherever you came from

Lol never even heard of you and your weak ass club till yesterday. Get clout kid, don’t worry tho when I drop your club you and all your lil buddies can rock my support club patch, how you like that?? One thing though we don’t allow you to wear goofy shit like scarfs and skinny jeans and shit so you gonna have to let go of your childhood a Lil bit. But don’t worry I’ll make sure your President is wearing a property patch.

The fact you even mentioned another club to back you up and protect you shows everything, your club is a bitch who ain’t got no honor and can’t fight their own battles. Don’t worry Esqueletos are gonna whoop yo ass and your stupid ass back up. Your weak ass threats aren’t scaring anyone kid.

That don’t make you a star that makes you a little bitch.

Is this a joke?? Did your dumbass really say “this is how many members we have” and post a fucking Mongols gangland video?? Lol im fucking dying yo!! Your weak ass actually compared you and your brother clubs to the mongols, you guys look like jokes. I used to beat on kids like you don’t matter how many numbers you had I used to get 4 and 6 Pieces on lil pussy clubs like yourself you don’t scare me one bit leva so I can’t wait to put you and your gay ass club in a body bag.

It's being released between now and somewhen ?

There are no guards, but the Prison will be open for players to join a gang, make make-shift shanks and so on. There will be lots of fun things to do. You can go and make a court case to try and plead that you are not guilty so that you can get out of prison earlier if you successfully get the Jury's votes as not-guilty.

Hey there,, so on Official servers the language will stay as English but at the full game release the game will get localisation for other languages. However I am sure that someone will start a private server with the Russian language only at a point to cater for your language.

Fucking communists. Make me cringe. You all need a dose of right wing dick.

This discord is still active for anybody and anybody who is interested in motorcycle club culture.

Glad to be a member.

They've been saying Town Square Module would be released back in December, then Easter, now its summer lol

I've been keeping an eye on the Dev Tracker they have put up for a while. Every now and then I'll look and see somethings gone from "In Progress" to "In Testing", or just "Completed" all together. Progress is being made.

I believe it has to do with the type of platform this forum uses. It uses Invision Community, a fairly popular platform used by SecondLife and other forums. I do not think that Asylum Entertainment has control over this issue.

That's for sure

Yeah, it would be much better is they just put in on dropbox or something quick and shared it with us all..... Like all those other professional games companies do....

Only form of hacking is the street signs to convey messages as confirmed by John himself

Foreal im from gta 5 and it aint gonna be anything like gta i cant wait to see these clubs try the same shit

Yes.

Video was wack as hell don’t claim to RP heavy when your club members are wearing scarfs and have bright red hair with skinny jeans, and if you come in Identity with the mind set of walking around like your the shit and thinkin you’re gonna kill any who stands in your way, your gonna get stomped out homie. Better trust on that shit - Esqueletos mc

You will get a steam key in your email yes. However you will not be able to purchase the game on Steam until the full game release.

When it releases. If you get the $15 pack then you will get it at the "Full Game Release", if you get the $30 pack then you will get it when Town Square releases.

bro I play emergency which is still pre-alpha, this game has a lot of bugs but its out for people to play and they have made a huge progress from when I bought the game. if u release the game and tell people that its not finished no one will be upset because there is something. they can release game play videos all day long, and it looks good to me. so im tired of hearing "oh they are working hard." or "oh, there's a lot of little things that still need to be done." it sounds like an excuse to not release something. I bet you then this list is done there would be another problem to fix and wont release the game. its they gotten over 1 million dollars to do what ever they need to do with it. its just unacceptable.

Quite interesting. I like this idea.

Right now that is still the plan.

Casinos are probably not something that can be run by players, at least not in the first module. It's probably just a thing to mess around with on the official servers, run by AI and a way to gamble all your life savings away.

Thank you for your answer Have a nice day

@Kellog Alot of people feel like this

Hello friends, I have been watching this for a while and seeing the tracker get smaller and smaller on tasks. I couldn't help but pledge, Will I need friends to be able to play this game? As I have no PC friends, they're all console (boo) If so, maybe some of you guys can be my friends! My name is Luke I am 21 from England. I'm glad to be here with you all. Regards Luke.

A.F.F.A

Lets hope that is becomes legal for both medical and recreationally! I would definitely like to see this business up and being useful to the community.
