  1. Three questions

    Hey there @MikaFromDenmark, 1. So it will be more like you have either money on you to give to friends etc. and I believe it will be either you pay in cash or with a credit card. 2. You have to go and pick up such assets from the storage area they are at I believe. 3. Well Houses might be sold out/ rented out, but apartments are unlimited and so they have to resort to an apartment until one becomes free to buy. The houses are on a first come first served basis.

    Hello Identity Backers, Thank you for pledging towards the development of Identity! Our records indicate that a pledge was made from this email address and that you're interested in project updates. This month in development Wow, what a month. It's been busy here at Asylum as usual, so let's get down to the interesting stuff! As expected, our current focus is on the Town Square so that we can get it out to you as soon as possible. We're finalising the interior of the library and art gallery (shared within one building) and adding polish to the environment. Once the clothing store interior is complete following that, the Town Square environment is ready to go. We'll continuously be adding more art after release though; specifically for house furnishings, decorations and clothing. In addition to the environment art, Miroslav (character artist) has been creating all sorts of hair assets which allow us to show hair appropriately when wearing a hat or helmet. This is a big task for him as it means making variations to match the hat options for each length of hair, but in the end it'll ensure your hair always looks as you'd expect when wearing headgear. Hair under a hat; work in progress Right next to the clothing shop you'll find a bicycle store where you can get a sneak preview of some of the bikes you'll be able to ride around in the full Identity release. We showed you a bicycle work in progress last blog post and now you can see the finished result of that below. This image will give you a rough idea of the detail level you'll see in Identity's vehicles. Ridable bicycle With more final systems coming online for the Town Square release, we now have functioning phones. Each player will start with a cellphone, although you'll be able to upgrade it with three mobile OS options available. The phone OS' each have a unique and interesting style. Characters also have a designated phone number assigned when they're created; you'll be able to get a custom number for a fee. These phones work just as you'd expect. You're able to dial up another player and speak with voice remotely. Businesses can even get a business line which, when called, will contact a member of that corporation who's online. Shot from an internal system test: advertising While the art of the billboard above isn't final, it gives you a very good idea of what you can expect in Identity for advertising. That's right, you can really publish messages around the world through billboards and other means. Corporations and those running for government office can purchase billboard space to help get their message out. You'll select a graphical template from a large list of options and then attach a brief message or other customization to make it your own. These billboards can also be moderated by the server operators. There are other similar advertising systems, too. For example digital road signs can be made to show custom messages by the current government. We can't wait to show you more of Identity, and we'll soon have that opportunity with the release of an overhauled website. Those current pledge packages are about to go away forever, and some of the rewards won't be available for purchase again after the new website changes. Also, follow us on our Twitch channel if you'd like to stop in and ask questions of the developers. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you'll find a few developers playing a random game from 4pm EST to 5pm EST. Ask any questions and they'll be happy to answer on stream. Catch some of Identity's developers hard at work and see how they make the magic happen: we'll be providing development streaming dates and times on Twitter, soon! -- John VanderZwet Let's Make Identity Great! Identity's development is going great thanks to the support of people like you, but systems like these take a lot of manpower and resources to create. Identity has an awesome community behind it, but when more people know about what we're creating and our budget grows from pledges, we can not only work faster but we can do more, too. If you're as excited to play Identity as we are making it, help spread the word. The gaming industry has needed a game like Identity for too long; let's make it great together!
  3. How to add photo's to posts?

    Did you try dragging and dropping the image? If yes then I am not sure.

    It is possible that you won't be able to buy into the modules and Beta access when the 1st module comes out but if that package does stay it will likely/ will be a higher price.
  5. Favourite Colour

    Just put "Other" after adding like 9 colours.
  6. Whether the FBI?

    Having no branch like the DEA does not mean no drugs, because there is drugs. There is just no specific/ agency for tackling drugs.
  7. Whether the FBI?

    There is not going to be FBI or DEA departments in Identity I am pretty sure about it and I am sure they confirmed it was not going to be in the game.
  8. Favourite Colour

    Do a Poll vote as it is easier!!!
  9. Upvoting Ideas

    Hey there, as far as I know, there is no way for the devs to implement such thing in this section. So unfortunately they can't do that however the devs do look at ideas and some ideas that they think would be a great addition which they have not thought about will be added but also if so many people request such things then the devs could change their minds. For instance; many people wanted buses and initially the devs wasn't adding them and because so many people requested them, they decided to add them. I hope this helps, -LuckyDuck.
  10. Music Integration

    You won't be able to stream your own music/ or upload / import anything into the game unfortunately.
  11. Gender Identity & Expression [SUGGESTION]

    Hey @cole97, I believe that this is wanted by a few already but unfortunately a lot of people want so many different things that not everything can be done in the game, well especially before the release of the full game. Some sacrifices are made for better sacrifices and some limitations on what we can do is upon the concern of what the devs can do. They said maybe in the future but not before the release of the game and so it is a maybe and that is unfortunate but if there is not so many people such like yourself wanting such a feature it might not even be worth doing that extra work big or small to satisfy the needs of the few and arguably spending more money on the things which are not urgently needed. I can say, you will have to wait and see, but most of this may be my opinion but it does count to a lot of variables on such matters. (PS it would add some interesting things / RP to see.) Kind regards, -LuckyDuck.
  12. Karaoke and possible "Entertainment Carreer"

    Hey there, At this point of time I know that the Karaoke and entertainment part is all down to the players and so if someone wants to earn money it is up to them to get known and maybe players could hire you for such events as there is a concert hall for such things if the karaoke machine is there too. However it is more an extra thing for fun and not a mechanic. I am sure you will be able to get paid if people want to hire you themselves and that could be down to getting a good reputation. Kind regards, -LuckyDuck.
  13. Graphics - Level of Details

    I won't need this much power but it is needed as because my cpu is i5 3775 series so I need that upgraded and I thought I might as well go all out or nothing and my warranty on this one will run out next year I believe. I am specifically getting this new setup for Identity but also Star Citizen and other new games which will flood the market. EDIT: Also by the time I buy it, newer parts will be out meaning these parts will be lower in price and so it might cost less than $2000 at that point.
  14. Wow

    Hello and Welcome @BarrettSimms to the identity community! Please check out the 2 FAQ's, as they have good information regarding questions you might have. Feel free to ask a question on the forum or PM me and I will be glad to answer it for you. Enjoy your stay here! -LuckyDuck.
  15. Political Platform

    People manage over here and I believe these high rates are because we have free health care too.
  16. Anonymous

    You do know that it is such thing that you are undermining the police and also not abiding by the law and also you could stop a better punishment or an investigation the police might have and they could target you and your group for murder... Beware if I see you I will be surely reporting your activities to the police. Killing is not justified by another persons actions but by your own and so you will pay the price instead of he who you kill. I will have eyes and ears everywhere, even on you without your knowledge. hehe Good Luck.
  17. Political Platform

    Just my opinion but I think these taxes are low not high. These are the ones in the UK: Income Tax rates and bands Band Taxable income Tax rate Personal Allowance Up to £11,500 0% Basic rate £11,501 to £45,000 20% Higher rate £45,001 to £150,000 40% Additional rate over £150,000 45% So the £11,500 personal allowance is about $15,000. Now these are high income tax rates. It is however your choice but this is just my feedback / opinion on the matter. Hope this helps. Best regards, LcukyDuck.
  18. About SPAM topics

    Ignore them yes but report them too if you want to help us find them posts quicker and to delete them. Thank you.
  19. Graphics - Level of Details

    Try playing ArmA 3, GTA V or Ark as I am sure they are more demanding games than DayZ standalone. I go with GBP and so yes the PC costs like £1750/ $2240. Here is my PC part picker with everything I got. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JzfmZ8
  20. What's up citizens!!!???

    Hello @HAWK, Welcome to the community! If you would like to ask a question, feel free to PM me or ask on the forum by mentioning me and I will be glad to answer to the best of my knowledge. Best regards, LuckyDuck.
  21. It's Still Early...ish

    Oh No problem and I understand you are very new to it but I just thought informing you of something mentioned which can't happen, so you are able to change it / get ahead of it.
  22. Kids in game

    The only thing I know of it is affordable.
  23. It's Still Early...ish

    There is not a way for people to use real money for resources other than cosmetic items alone. It is not a pay to win game might I add.
  24. Hello @danking777 and Welcome to the community! The information can be found on the shop page like it is said above but I will answer and give you info as well. Ok so if you look on the store page you will notice it says Passport (Full Game) or something similar, well that is the full game when it releases on steam yes and just for the full game it is heavily discounted right now. While if you pledge it helps the developers; develop the game quicker and also gives you the game for a small some of $15 which will be about $45 on release. If you upgrade or go straight to the $30 package, you will get not only the full game (Your Passport) but you will also get access to the Beta and Modules. The Modules are considered Alpha stages which are standalone pieces of the game and once all 3 modules are released shortly after will be the Beta which is going to be the closest thing to the full game itself. I hope this summarised it for you and see you around. Please read the 2 FAQ's as they have great info for you. They can be found linked in my signature. Best regards, LuckyDuck.
  25. Earlier Release

    Well I am here for no AI as GTA already gives me the AI option. Also AI cannot be interacted with like players and so really it is more immersive without AI in the world. Another thing is I don't like AI especially in GTA/ driving around because they ram you randomly, they don't go at green lights straight away and you cannot yell at them making them react to you. I think having no AI is for the better as for RP and also as it is more immersive instead of having it "more life like". Sacrificing the "More life like" for immersion and RP potential interaction is a worthy sacrifice to me.
