Yeah i knew what you were saying. I just was not being super detailed so that was my fault. Thank you for clarifying!

Sorry I wasnt being very specific I guess what I meant by "early game" was like in the beginning we all wont have tons of money right? I more so meant early game as in new players and late game as in players with more money or money to spare. Again these were just suggestions sorry for my ideas.

It really would not be as bad as you are making it seem. All they would have to do is provide a cooldown time based on what is being hacked as to not affect common folks too much. Lets say you can only hack a phone every 30 mins or the hack only affects like your ability to call and text someone for 5 mins. Same for TVs the hack would last substantially shorter than the cooldown time of the hack. Another thing to take into account if this was an in depth part of the game it you could add more security you could pay for so then only certain TVs and phones could be hacked. Like for instance a phone inside the governors room would most likely have more security so it wouldnt be hackable or at least hackable early game. But all of these are just ideas and what I know is just electric street signs are hackable currently.

I do really appreciate all the work the team is doing. Not a lot of people can fully understand how difficult the full development of a game actually is, so I thank you all. Keep up the good work, because I know y'all will do great things for this game!

I did have an error as well. It did not persist long but long enough for me to notice. But yeah its good now

I get why they are not doing another ETA on the release of the modules and I feel like it might have to do with them already having set dates then delaying the release. If I was in their shoes I would do the same thing as I would not want to delay a game/module again. Don't get me wrong this is not me bashing them or anything I honestly feel its the right decision be it a hard one. Many people feel they are left in the dark or feel like they do not care about us but Id rather come home to a surprise than to have a date for them to find another bug or issue to delay the game. I understand making a games takes time and patience we just need to give it time and patience as a community.

Thanks! And Thank you too! I cant wait for this!

True that would work to be honest and would create new jobs alongside the hacking type job. Obviously both of these would require very in depth planning for even just the hacking side of it but I do like the idea of having someway to counteract the hacking. So maybe it just depends on how much money you put into your hack/security. Honestly I was thinking of so type of hacking mini game like to hack into a phone you have to complete a puzzle. The first type of puzzle that comes to mind is the puzzle from "The Hulk" game back in 2003 Or even a puzzle sort of like fallout terminal hacking as seen in the image below Obviously these are just ideas again as I am not 100% sure how this could affect the overall aspect of the game. In my eyes I would not want it to be at the forefront but more so just a side thing that can help in the grand scheme of cops and robbers. As well as provide more jobs and maybe even another mini-game.

I like the way you think!

In Dev Blog #19 it highlighted a Town Square game play live stream. I honestly loved what I saw, but what caught my eye was something probably others thought was small. During the video on the Blog at around the 3:50 mark he (still learning names) states "the governors can control the messages that are on these however other players can hack them" then goes on to explain the duration of the hack and that you can put messages on there and such and then immediately goes to something else. To me hacking can be a whole different job on the side. Like we should be able to hack lets say someones phone where they cant call or text someone for like 5 or 10 mins and obviously it has a cool down or cost a lot to do. The main reason for hacking a phone is getting an upper hand in a gang war as stated in Dev blog #20 What this could allow for is more of a surprise attack at the cost of hiring someone on the side. Obviously hacking could be implemented more into the game as in hacking TVs to show messages or terrorize someone. Computers to get information on someone like a cop or rival. In my eyes if hacking was implemented even more so than stated in Dev Blog #19 I bet you someone would form a hacking group kinda famous like Anonymous. This could already be an idea or it could be broken in some way so its just a thought but I love the idea of having a career and then being a hacker on the side.

Hello my name is Garrison and I am currently 21 years old attending college in the state of Georgia. I live near Atlanta granted everyone in Georgia lives near Atlanta. Iv been following this game for a while now without any post because I tend to stay in the back, but I am extremely excited and cannot wait. I also cannot wait to see some Georgia influence in the game as it is somewhat based/designed on the idea of the south east! I honestly plan on becoming a cop and eventually joining SWAT. But who knows maybe ill be a hacker/bad cop (hack the signs that were said to be able to be hacked) on the side guess we will have to find out.

I assume this means like preview each one before you actually purchase/buy it. Whereas you could still customize your own if you do decide to buy one. Buts that is just my take on it.
