Aliens? There will be Easter Eggs which I think they said includes UFOs , but you'll only be able to see them from a far distance, like strange sky phenomenons. Zombies? Nope, zombie games never really attracted me (despite having played a few) Hurricanes? Yeah would make the most sense in terms of immersion. War? I'll probably be staying away from big crowds and relax in quiet places. I'll also be one of the last guys to get a gun.

There will be a stress system to prevent RDM to happen too often. And a newbie who just started the game will most likely not be able to go very far in the game if he doesn't know what to do. The AK 47 is one of the highest end weapons which is illegal, and any firearms will show up on the player who carry it. You could also get banned if they find out you're doing a few RDM on purpose and that you're reported. Good luck to all trolls who come to ruin the fun of others. In terms of punishment, if you're caught doing a small crime (for example, not paying a ticket), you'll be sent to jail for a few minutes. But if you commit a big crime (like murder), you'll be sent to prison. The max amount of time is currently set to 45 minutes (can be subject to change), but you can still stay in prison due to the amount of activities you can do in there. You can also appeal your crime and there's a whole court system behind it, with a judge, random juries, lawyers. There will be moderators, but I'm not sure what they can do and how much power they are given.

It's been said there will be public and community rented servers. It's not 100% confirmed, but I think money, items and houses/apartments will not transfer. The pledge rewards will transfer though, like the apartment and car for example. They might consider modding support but it's not going to be guaranteed to be there. You'll be able to have more control over who joins as a police officer, but I'm not sure if they'll plan to add more control over which ranks you can make.

I'm not sure if buying an apartment in game would automatically give you a garage. But what I know is there is different garages available in public with various sizes for different vehicles. Also, a garage for an apartment would be in the basement of the building.

Then I'm curious what was the apartment video about... There was (old) animations, customization. And when I say "comment", I'm talking about all the replies that has been made on this thread you created. I know what a comment is, which is a remark, observation or criticism. There's various ways of wording our opinion about more or less good features. For example I'd say "I feel like using placeholders might have not been the best idea for the first impression." But anyways... However you want to say it is up to you. And what do you mean about the chip on my shoulder? I wasn't trying to be salty. I'll tell you what facts I'm aware of: usage of old placeholders, short video, range of feelings among the community including hype, mixed feelings and disappointment. But anyways, I'm just going to wait until they release the video of Town Square then judge, because it's been said a lot of things will be improved, unlike the crime video which was set in a region that haven't been touched for probably a few years. I hope they work on walking animations soon at least, which was probably the thing that most people was disappointed about.

Then you'll be facing the consequences the driver is facing, unless you can detach your seat belts and leave the vehicle while it's moving.

I've watched several twitch clips to see where this game is going, then I thought about a few things that I'd like a bit more clarifications. 1- The mostly important thing I'd like answers about would be what happens in different scenarios when a player disconnects or lose connection. I know they talked a bit about for example if you committed a crime, that the character doesn't instantly disappear. But does that apply to everything in general? For example while being a passenger and the driver disconnects, or during any interactions with the world. 2- Another thing, when going out of bounds, you can literally die. But can you swim underwater without a proper suit? Can you drown if you stay for too long without air supply? 3- They talked a little bit about tools but I don't recall them going too much into details. But what kind of tools will you be able to get to mine? Wood cut? Farm? I know there would be picks, axes, but what about augers, chainsaws, hoes, plows? Also is there going to be anything you can use to maintain or even improve your crops? 4- In terms of trucking in a transport corporation, is there any details yet? Like protocols, contracts, logs to fill. I know some of the people talked about that it will be sort of based from my favorite trucking simulator. 5- Another concern is about measurement units. Imperial or metric? Can you toggle it in the options? 6- I know some items can age, and even gain value. But can something get old and be worth nothing or very low value? I guess this one really depends.

A lot of things change in the gaming industry like updates, overhauls, redoing a feature from scratch, DLCs, etc. I don't think the purpose of the video was to make the people react like "Wow! That's impressive and cool looking!". Maybe it was just to showcase a few features you can do in game which aren't very important at this time. As I said, the future video of Town Square will include new animations that will be completely redone. It'll be of higher quality as far as I know than the one from Crime and Arrest.

I guess I was forced to use one of those answers for what video I wanted to see next. As a car guy... I think you can guess which one I took. But yeah, they should put more efforts on Town Square, which is really coming very soon anyways (just a little over a month). Videos take some extra efforts to put all together and make sure it pleases the crowd. Then when you release the module, it's the job of the players to test it. If people are unhappy about certain features/bugs, then you'll tell the developers about it.

^ That is a comment, just like anything that follows the thread you posted. Also I forgot to rectify you about something, the crime video isn't the first game play video. I can't help it but I've noticed there's been a lot of people who's been really disappointed about the time it took to release a short crime video with outdated placeholders. I think I've said it before, there's been a lot of things that has been redone from scratch. Also, we should expect the Town Square video to be much higher quality. You know the developers are working at the moment to make new assets and will replace animations and other things in a soon future. And how a game is improved is with good constructive criticism and a team who listen to the people. I doubt the team didn't learn anything from the feedback of the community.

Then what's the reason that you're here and posting these comments? That's borderline shaming the developers for your high quality needs. If you love their work, then support them, be constructive. I've never ever said anything bad towards the work of the developers. If something left me with mixed feelings, I shared my opinion without being pessimist or telling them "oh they should have done this a long time ago". Also, if it happens that you know how to do a better job than them, why don't you apply to work for them and help them?

You would certainly like to watch the future video of Town Square. No details and no ETA has been given yet, but it'll be released before the first module for sure. Also don't forget that a lot of elements in the few videos are old but will definitely change. It's been confirmed that the animations, foliage, shooting and driving physics will be redone.

Nobody knows everything, but it just seems that some people have absolutely no idea what's going on then just complain. Sure there's things that the developers doesn't tell us, but if there's one thing that I know, is that it takes an enormous amount of time and efforts for such a small team to do that kind of thing. You'd expect a hell lot to be done, when a project this big would usually require tens of millions of dollar, and a few hundred employees. Also, did I forget to mention that the little farm stead area is the least of their priority for now? Okay yeah showing off some unfinished features might not have been the best idea, but you should wait for the next video for Town Square at least. Then if you're still unsatisfied about what a team of about 20 developers have done... Maybe you could tell them what you think should be improved. But don't forget, things doesn't happen in the blink of an eye.

I know the damage concept wasn't explained in depth, but I remember they have said that the most common damage will be tires, like flats. If you have a spare, and I assume you probably need the tools for it, you'll be able to easily fix it. But I'm not sure you'll get away with a broken engine. In terms of visuals, if I recall correctly, they won't make it insanely realistic (to avoid flooding the network with damage data), so yeah. Oh and another thing is, there's such thing as driving without a seat belt, and even getting wounded (or possibly dying?). You might also get damage on very rough roads with potholes, or while hitting certain objects.

Some objects seems to be photo realistic. One of the developers uses a cool technology called photogrammetry, which is basically taking pictures from various angles and create realistic assets. I'm really looking forward to see Town Square in its glory!

Do you guys even understand what is going on in the background? Those assets and animations were two years old! That's what John and Sean have said in the latest stream video. Now you might be asking why didn't they focus on putting new animations and assets in the first place? I might not be able to fully answer that question though, but rest assured that the Town Square module will have fancy new assets and animations will be completely changed.

@njayminsim1115 Hey, just a friendly reminder you can always put multiple quotes in one post. Yes I think the same way. The animations will be changed prior to release of Town Square. I agree with that. I'm not looking forward the Discord chat exploding again though.

Anything that'll get you in troubles. Making/selling drugs, shooting people, breaking road rules. There might be some more but there's no full list that has been announced.

Also I'll add that there will be seasonal events and decorations. Seasons isn't in their scope at the moment but they might consider it later on.

Hello and welcome to the community @Yaron !

FR: Pour obtenir une section française dans le forum, il faut un modérateur qui parle couramment français. Malheureusement, ce n'est pas le cas actuel. S'ils ouvrent le recrutement de nouveau, je peux tenter ma chance. EN: To obtain a French section in the forum, it would require a moderator who speaks fluent French. Sadly, this is not the actual case. If they open the recruitment again, I can give it a try.

It's actually possible to be a mechanic and use a tow truck. But I think that's not part of corporations from what I can understand. https://clips.twitch.tv/AuspiciousBlightedSandstormNononoCat & https://clips.twitch.tv/ImpossibleStupidMushroomKappa

Forensics isn't a planned feature at the moment. https://clips.twitch.tv/AffluentPhilanthropicRabbitPMSTwin

I agree, animations were kinda off. But I think they consider using motion capture method in the future, so hopefully it'll be much smoother when you're walking. For the driving physics, they're still very early and rough. They will work on it for the Racing Module. There's been a lot of assets and foliage that has been reworked and will be reworked again. It saddens me when people doesn't always understand what is the deal behind the scene. But hey, if you're not happy with what you invested into, then you can refund and wait. I mean when you invest in these type of games, you know what you're getting into.

"Smoke weed everyday", sorry that song just popped in my mind. You'll be able to grow weed on farm lands by the way. I guess we'll have to wait quite some time before we see footage, if they'll show it before the full Beta.
