I just wanted to clarify at the conferences there are usually cops as well as private security. The cops because of the large public gathering in a public area...and private security for the private buildings safety. Wont go in detail but there is both. Sorry if you knew, just wanted to clarify

Yes they had different time periods but this is the first date. They technicay "flaked" 1-2 time periods for the module. If you want to call it that. This is the first date they confirmed

One thing I have learned working for a cust. Service in this field...people are like that. I do however, appreciate the fact that the devs stuck to their word. That is so important and I hope they stick with it. Better to go beyond expectation rather that over promise.

I would have preffered they dont date drop tbh and they date drop when its ready IMO. The actual date itself if released then, i dont mind

Yeah i saw it on the forums but im working so cant be on discord:P (on phone during breaks).

There is more than just gangland videos. Do a quick google search as i dont want to post links. Becareful with names that already exist is all.

@Narc I assume you mean "The Rare Breed" and "Rare Breed". It becomes a gray area of the law just like having a restaurant called The McDonald would be. If they are too similar, then yes, it becomes an issue. The only thing is as long as the developers take down the name when asked/brought to their attention, they won't get in trouble. The worst that would probably happen is the person will be visited but if the devs take it down it might not be worth pursuing.

I agree with some of the posts. The biggest issue is that they keep giving dates, I think that if they harvested the power of surprise and just decided to drop it, yes people at first would be frustrated with the lack of information, but it would give a better effect then missing deadlines. I really suggest that anyone who makes a game does this. Every time I see a date, I don't get excited, I become discouraged. I wish they would just say...oh btw, Townsquare is up for download, forgot to mention. That would have been hilarious and awesome. But oh well, now to hope they give out the date. Also, the community seems to be on the younger side, they might even be people who haven't backed games and who haven't seen how development can be. There is nothing wrong with this, but you do come to expect a lot more. I have learned that each company has their own set of issues but generally, the one thing I find common is the time is usually underestimated. That being said, I've seen that all the time in the gaming industry.

@NanoSpace honestly you'd be surprised by how community attitudes of 'frustration' have an opposite effect. Most of the time, what really happens is companies stop caring about the "criticism" because if they did, it would do more harm then good.

Already planned to some degree. Already planned as well, just obviously there will be limited things that the gov. can do. Some of the other jobs are planned as well but there are great ideas. It's always awesome to see how many people have cool ideas. Makes the forum so much fun

I agree that once the game comes out, it would be awesome. Right now, I don't see it being feasible/realistic for here. It would be awesome and allows people to see what type of features are to look forward to easily.

I'm usually quietly looking at discord but yes, I too am now getting real excited for a date! It would be so amazing to be able to finally get to try it out

I'd be ok with it being a marketing tool. It's a way for some companies to make money but first, the game needs to be released and then it needs to be popular so we'll see.

Sorry to disappoint you but I work in a telecom company and that is far from the cost of a new model of phones. Try closer to 1k

My point is things need to be done then and there. You can't have long investigations as this is a game not real life. People aren't obliged to play and are not always on at the same time. It's going to be a lot more live action rather than investigative. You have to realize the limits of a game. You can't have everything be like in real life. It just can't work that way

They don't want the whole thing to be as secretive. The crimes will be visible and the cops will be as well. The whole idea is that making everything so secret is actually a lot harder in a game then in the real world. How to avoid abuse and unfair gameplay the whole thing becomes a lot more complex for no reason. The point is to keep the game fun. Plus there won't be as long as quests as in real life as people will just stop showing up and then what? restart the whole process. The point is to make it fun so things can be done then and there.

I'm part of the group of people that is looking for a political career in identity. I love games w/ politics and hopefully, it will be well implemented. Otherwise, I want to be a business owner.
