A little thingy that you could hang on your wall would be enough imo + if people visit your house they know you won contest x

Horses just for aesthetics is such a nice idea. This really helps the atmosphere.

Yeah like an ingame social media app, which could be accessed from your real phone, when you are at work or in school to interact with others even when offline.

Will there be small minigames spread across the map? Like a pinball machine or arcade machines?

I love this, not like the regular in-party voice chat

"Did you get the handcuffs?" "Nah, zipties were 20% off." Zipties are about the best replacement they could have thought off

Is this a general appreciation thread? I'm totally joining! I don't have all that much to say, but thanks devs for having started such an awesome project!

How about news magazines? Since player-written books are already confirmed, somebody writing a weekly report would be awesome! I just have heard of a library, which sound like a take-books-for-free place, but selling them at a kiosk would be nice. I hope you can design the books at least a little.

I am starting to imagine a giant group of drug dealers owning a villa in the forest. Just the fact that this will be possible is getting me hyped again!

Nice, if this attention to detail is persistent throughout the game, it will be an great experiance!

Any updates?

Giving this a second thought you are probalby right. This maybe even stops some users from comitting a crime in the first place.

How about time just passing slower when offline (like 20x as much, so you had to be offline for 9 hrs to get rid of it). And when online you just had to wait and waste your time by socializing with others for 45 mins.

A crime scene investigation would be an awesome thing to have. This would be one of those tiny things that would make the game stand out.

How is the financial situation. Is says that about 750k+ were raised. Is this including kickstarter (I'd guess so)? Furthermore, if the average salary of a programmer is ~60k and of a graphics designer ~40k (according to payscale.com 24/09/17), how long will they be able to continue? I have no experiance with in-depth financial business, but I think the budget looks kinda thight, especially over such a long period of time.

Oh, great to hear! Thanks for the update

I hope so, or at least not worth grinding for hours. Just like real life, i guess.

Welcome!

Maybe the games exposure is somewhat low. I don't know much about PR, but ~19k people having bought the game to this day seems not that much, considering the size of this project.

Those dumpsters are looking better than me

~~~ New start, somewhat comfused by the last few posts ~~~ Here you go: I recently found an old woman under my bed.

Imagine the following: At the beginning inveting in already very organized groups would be the way to go. Optimal, if there are close to none competitiors. Ofc the worth of the company will rise, so it is like easy profit. We would also need enough people buying/selling stocks, so the whole system doesen't crash. I personally think a stock market would be great, but added in a more developed stage of the game. This way the devs are able to see if this whole thing would work.

This immigration kinda thingy is probably the best way to go. This way, a big part of people trying to rig votings are already giving up on doing so. How about "your account had to exist for xx time and has to have yy hours of gameplay on record" (I know the grammer was weak with this one).
