Happy Halloween everyone! What are you guys dressing up as for Halloween? I'm going as a clown!

I would have to agree, I would believe there would be a similar training system in place on official servers. Private servers will more than likely be different, allowing server owners to make their own system.

I might be completely wrong here as I search for the correct clip, BUT I do believe you will be able to write and sell your books, or just have them in the library! Once/If I can find the clip I'll be sure to post it!

Welcome @Papa_Hedge to the journey! Sit back, relax and grab some coffee, hope to see you in game!

I would agree with Capped, upscaling seems like the most legitimate way to do this. I usually like the play a scenario out in my head to see if certain ideas would work out so check this out. You were kidnapped and robbed, you have no phone, money or clothes, but the nearest Town would take you an hour to get to. Some people will probably just kill themselves to get teleported back to the nearest town, or get arrested to be brought back into a town. I would love to see that much realism in this game, but that might be to much.

I can promise you, missing a date for an announcement is not a new low. For example : I've recently started following another games development and after doing some research the other day, I found out they stated development in 2015 and actually had a Early Access release date for 2015. 2 years later, they are still trucking along and have yet to give any keys out. Game development isn't as easy as some may think as you may already know, but the point I'm trying to get at is - These guys could launch the module tomorrow filled with bugs and a lot less content than they anticipated, BUT they are being patient, taking their time and making this game good. I've said this before, but I do have faith in a release date coming in this month.

Love that show!

I truly do believe they will announce the release date this month, now, that could be today, or it could be on October 31st at 11:59. After watching the development VODs, the devs really do seem like they are cracking down and trying to get a release date out this month. Especially with the new hires and the new studio, these guys are really starting to get efficient! I have faith!

I'd love to see some 20s-70s stuff implemented, I feel like it would give a totally unique vibe in the game, although it would need to be 1920-70s or modern day, mixing those 2 up seems like it would be quite odd.

I would like to believe there wont be a 100% success rate for Detectives, just so criminals have somewhat of a chance. Although - if this is a feature, a good way to go about it would be detectives finding shells on the ground of a certain caliber, or a piece of clothing, something that you can compare and contrast rather than run it on a DNA scanner and getting a result.

I dont think the lack of moderation will be a giant issue for official servers, if it does become an issue, im sure these guys will sort it out and make it work. Theres also private servers! A lot of people are excited for this game, I've seen quite a few people already say they plan on starting private servers, private servers always have more moderation and volunteers compared to official servers, would be great to look into those.

In the last Dev stream, Motown confirmed they will not be heading the the Switch direction, portable Identity may sound great, but will have a lot of issues

I could see that being the case as well, I guess we'll just have to find out and see!

Agreed! I very highly doubt that there wont be a revive system, maybe more or less being knocked unconscious and needing medical treatment rather than dying and needing resuscitation.

Interesting question, I'm sure the Police and EMS will need to work together to figure out the cause of death and take action, but I would also like to know if there would be a system in place to kind of help the process along? Great question!

You'll be able to drive to your residence, but the house/apartment will be in its own instance. Luckily you'll be loading while going up the elevator! The reason there will be instances is because of the customization, basically to reduce lag in the actual world. Your friends will be able to join you in your apartment, and you can add them as a roommate who will be allowed to help you build!

I believe they said there will be a way to report players! Since Official servers will be less moderated due to the amount of Official servers they will have, this seems like a great way to deal with that!

Yeah, that might be something we'd have to wait for a little later towards the vehicle module release to find out. It would be more immersive to drop an entire engine in the car rather than fiddling with a slider, but I could see it happening either way. Were still quite a bit out till the Vehicle Mod though.

A Death sentence does sound like a good solution, although, I feel that would need to be decided by a trial, just to remove any trolls from inside the PD. Of course, they did say the 45 minute max time might be changed at a later date, but I personally feel as if 45 minutes is a good start. Its long enough for it to really inconvenience you, but not long enough to make you have to stop RP, and leave your PC on with Identity running while you're off at the Grocery store for 2-3 hours. Although, custom servers may have the ability to lower/raise that timer.

Planet Coaster, i LOVE micromanagement games, and its super casual as well. Along with that I just picked up a game called Voxel Turf, its kind of like Saints Row, GTA San Andreas, Minecraft and Sid Miers: Civ all mixed together, its less casual than Planet Coaster, but its quite fun!

In this at 6:55 he showcases the Laptop they have! As @Shwado said, 'Facefile' might be the closest thing you're looking for!

Awesome work! This is the type of stuff that makes me giddy when trying to learn how to model!

Sure can! from

I dont feel like something that in-depth will be implemented, at least for the first release. I think the Devs are more focused on getting the core game out. As for hiring other people, if you own a towing/mechanic business in game, you can hire and task anyone and everyone who wishes be join your company! from Also : If you head into the Other Careers topic, you can see what people are talking about as well as the Board Room which showcases people advertising their businesses they plan to open upon release!

Thats a great model for starting out! I recently tried getting into 3D modeling myself, but found I'm terrible at it haha! I'm sure when the Gun module releases there will be some Desert Eagle-esque guns! Kind of a standard for games nowadays.
