Hello FireRealm8113, Identity will feature the ability to broadcast your voice on the in-game radio, but there’s no mechanic currently planned that would allow you to record footage for a television show. You’ll be able to take pictures with your phone, but won’t be able to record video. Here’s a segment from a previous stream where the Art Director talks a bit about the camera feature: Mechanics (Can you take pictures and videos with the in-game phone?) https://clips.twitch.tv/MoldyBlazingMarjoramSwiftRage And below are two clips of the CEO discussing the ability to host your own radio show: Mechanics (Does the in-game radio pick up IRL stations? Can I host my own?) https://clips.twitch.tv/GiantAgileGoatRickroll Mechanics (Will there be radio stations? 2) https://clips.twitch.tv/DeterminedExquisiteMagpieTriHard That being said, we are still looking to include both YouTube and Twitch support sometime in the future. While these features won’t be available at Town Square’s launch, you may be able to satisfy that itch for a TV series once they’re introduced. For example, you could record Identity gameplay through the use of your preferred recording software, and edit together a video to post on YouTube. You could then gather friends to watch your series together from within Identity. The full game of Identity will include special private theatres where you can watch YouTube videos with players of your choosing. Players in the Town Square Module will eventually be able to watch such content on TVs. I’ll link a clip of the Art Director discussing private theatres, and one where the CEO and Art Director specifically discuss Twitch integration: Mechanics (Can you watch YouTube videos in movie theatres?) https://clips.twitch.tv/RefinedSmoggyCheetahEleGiggle Mechanics (Can you watch twitch streams on your television at home?) https://clips.twitch.tv/JoyousBigSpindleMVGame And for further reference, here are two clips of the CEO discussing the use of public TVs: Environment (Can I use public TVs or Theaters to watch what I want?) https://clips.twitch.tv/AbnegateShortCatPrimeMe Environment (Can I use public TVs or Theaters to watch what I want? 2) https://clips.twitch.tv/FaintCooperativeClipsmomDancingBaby If you are new to recording gameplay footage, I highly recommend you try to use the capture software provided by your GPU manufacturer (Radeon ReLive for AMD GPUs and Nvidia Shadowplay for Nvidia GPUs). Open Broadcast Software is also another good free alternative. Lastly, the topic of wanting sets for certain RP scenarios, particularly a newsroom, did arise in one of our previous streams. I’ll link the clip highlighting the discussion below with the Art Director if you’d interested: Environment (Will there be TV Studios/Newsrooms you could RP in? ft. Radio info) https://clips.twitch.tv/SmokyCharmingNuggetsBloodTrail In summary, Identity won't have a built in mechanic that will allow you to record + host television shows. You can, however, take advantage of the in-game streaming services (watching YouTube on TVs for example) to reach a similar end result. These services won’t be included at Town Square’s launch, but the developers will try to integrate them as soon as they can.

Salutations everyone, We're planning to show off some more gameplay tomorrow, so I'd like to give you all another quick heads up as to what you can expect. Firstly, we'll begin streaming with an artist at the usual time of 4PM ET. We currently have Jade scheduled for tomorrow, and you'll be able to catch us live at https://www.twitch.tv/identityrpg. Near the end of the stream, we'll hand it over to John and he'll be able to show us more of Town Square. While the amount of content he can highlight is dependent on how far along the programmers are, the plan is to cover most or all of the things he mentioned he'd like to show in the previous Developer Blog (with a few extras). To begin, he'd like to walk around the environment at night, and show off more interiors of the surrounding buildings. I've reminded John to have motion blur turned off, and to try out 1st person mode at some point. Users have been requesting that they see the animations that correspond to Mark's Emote Icons, so I also asked him to play one or two of his favorite animations. John also plans to walk us through a bit of the karaoke functionality while in "streamer mode", an option that prevents licensed music from playing on the client's end. He wants to show how a user can load up a song, where the lyrics will be displayed, and how the microphone functions. (He's trying to get either Motown or I to demonstrate such functionality... Not sure if I want to embarrass myself by demonstrating how abysmal my singing voice really is.) The inventory system should also be working correctly now, so we'll be able to interact with the newspaper and weed this time around. There may also be more features showcased than what is mentioned above, time permitting. We're aiming to wrap everything up by 5PM ET. (The previous stream admittedly ran rather late, so it's possible we may end up carrying over into the next hour. We'll see.) The VOD will also be archived like last time for those who cannot attend the livestream. That's it for now. Have a great rest of your day everyone, see you tomorrow!

While we aim to update the tracker near the end of every workday, there have been times where nothing was updated. There used to be a bug that prevented the visual from changing that has since been rectified, but there have been nights where the team worked overtime and were unable to update their progress. The remaining tasks also require at least a few days each to fully complete, which explains why you sometimes see the tracker update when there’s no visual change to the progress bars. Work has been completed on these days, but not enough to move any bars forward on the webpage. I believe the programmers are currently working on systems that pertain to user inventory and the shop interface. They’ve also been tackling some of the oddities that occurred during our stream on May 29th (shirtless character, inventory items not being usable). Regarding the website, we’re still waiting on the technology partner mentioned in Dev Blog #017. They’ll allow us to offer new payment options on the Identity Shop page, but they unfortunately haven’t been quick to respond to our inquiries. I’ve been told that switching to a different partner would take longer than it would be to wait for a response, however. If I receive any news pertaining to the website’s progress, I’ll definitely let the community know. @Nook You’ll have a week after the new website launches to grab the current pledge reward packages at their current prices. Here’s a clip of the CEO talking about it (he begins speaking at about 13 seconds in): Meta (Will the shop prices remain the same for a week to give users a heads up?) https://clips.twitch.tv/EnthusiasticTriumphantRamenOMGScoots

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!

Hey tozany4u! If you were to upgrade from "Speed Demon" to "The VIP", you would gain an additional 2k in-game starting cash, a Two Bedroom Apartment, and a Dozen Random Outfits. You would lose the Luxury One Bedroom Apartment, however. Motown came on stream not too long ago to discuss additions to the current pledge reward packages, so this is what you might be referring to! I'll link the clip below: Meta (Have there been any changes to the current pledge reward packages?) https://clips.twitch.tv/BovineFriendlyStingrayArsonNoSexy He states that "The VIP" will be given another 1k of starting cash (meaning that the VIP will grant 5k starting cash total), the Old Dirt Bike, and the Used Motorcycle. No changes were made to "Speed Demon", but "Up-Sized" was given an extra 1k of starting cash as well. That being said, after Motown's changes, "The VIP" includes: Passport Founder Hat Beta Access $5,000 Game Cash Two Bedroom Apartment Two Car Garage Sports Car Dozen Random Outfits Old Dirt Bike Used Motorcycle

Hey MartinaMarley! I sent a reply to your inbox, but just to reiterate, the store keeps track of how much money you've pledged. If you purchased the Citizen pledge reward package ($15), then the Founder (regularly $30) will display as a $15 dollar purchase instead. By making two individual purchases of $15, you'll unlock the rewards found in the Founder pledge reward package, hence you'll be able to access the Modules + Beta. If you'd ever like me to double check that you have the Founder package, message me your Account ID and I'll see what claimable rewards are associated with your account!
