I was gone for a few months due to multiple training events. After playing classic Wow for the past month, I remembered this game concept. I was thinking about testing the module again, but there was no update since I've been back. How is the module and should I use the data for it?

This game is an early release product, yes maybe it's been in development for 4 years but guys please take a step back. I've played and yes it's very basic at the moment with some bugs but that happens on every early release title, especially when they've made you guys fully aware this is just the Town Square. An unknown indie gaming company comes up and pledges to create a great city life RP style game better than we've ever seen before, and we shoot them down before they've even released a patch? I'm on a 1050Ti and I'm running the game fine just a few lag spikes when entering stores which I can deal with. I understand the waiting time is frustrating and there is always an urge to write a bad review to make people aware of the progress but be honest! They haven't scammed you, if you purchased one of the very expensive packs then you scammed yourself really, I got the $30 founder pack and I'm already happy with my investment let alone when the game is fully released. This is the first of three modules and even if it takes another year or two to bring the new modules into place then so be it! We will come back in a year or two's time and begin playing the real game mechanics of Identity. My point being... Give them more time, if you've had the patience to wait 4 years like some of you make out then you've got the patience to bare with the Dev's and let them do what they need to do. There is a lot of work in place here for such a small company, Asylum Entertainment has my support and I will continue to play parts of it whilst it's in early access. Peace!

So as you are still wondering when the town square will be released well we basically have a date for that as clearly states it will be published at the end of the month on steam (October) so the latest of the release date is 31st anything before is just a bonus.

The time has finally come! I'm going to start this dev blog update with the news you really want: the Identity Town Square module will be published to Steam before the end of this month (October)! This means that you'll be able to create your characters, meet other players and set up your homes very soon. Here's how it'll work: before the end of the month, the Identity Town Square store page will be published. At this point, we need to wait for Steam's approval of our application which takes a couple of weeks. Once approved and released, you'll be in the square! The great news here is that when the Town Square does show up on Steam, the date shown (which will be quite near) is the absolute date that you'll be playing. We're so very close to getting the foundation of Identity out there for you to get your hands on! Next to come, the SWAT module's development will take but a fraction of the time to create as the Town Square has the foundation in place for the entire MMORPG. The back-end we need to push forward is here and from the point of the Town Square release our development focus is switched over to gameplay features. As a developer, this feels great! Get your Identity Steam key! We're getting close! You can now connect your Steam account to your Identity game account and obtain your Identity game Steam key. This key will add Identity to your library so that when Identity is released, you can download it and start playing immediately without having to do anything else. To get your key, login on the main site at www.IdentityRPG.com. You can then go to the Account tab of your profile where you'll see an option to link your Steam account. You must have BETA ACCESS on your account to claim a key! ATTENTION! You can only attach one steam account to one game account, and it's permanent. Be sure you're logged into your game account which has the items you've purchased before attaching a Steam account! While you won't get Identity in your game library just yet, you will as soon as we're published and approved. Handing out the keys like this allows us to reduce load on our servers. We currently have 20,000 keys in the system and we'll be adding more. Once you've obtained your key from the Identity website you can enter it into your Steam client, but be sure that you're logged into the Steam account where you'd like to own Identity. Click the Games menu in Steam, and then Activate a Product on Steam. Identity Insider: Prison Life Another Identity Insider is here, giving you a detailed look into the prison mechanics of Identity. You can see more Insider updates on the about page of the Identity website. Identity prison concept art Eventually, your luck is going to run out. Crime does pay, and it pays well, but the long arm of the law will catch up with you. For minor crimes you might see a ticket or time in jail, but serious offences will land you in prison. In Identity, prison has a culture and lifestyle of its own. You might be there as punishment, but there’s a lot going on while you’re serving your sentence. Put in your time in your cellblock’s relative safety, or choose to step out and join a prison gang. Prison Gangs Prison gangs are the core of your activity behind bars. With three gangs vying for control around you, you’ll need to choose a side to stay safe on the inside. Those without gangs are even more vulnerable when they step outside the safety of their own cellblock. Each prison gang has access to a private contraband market, providing its members with unique looks, makeshift weapons and more. Don’t get caught with illegal goods, though, as some police officer players could be serving as prison guards in their down-time. Infamy You’ll need to pull your weight if you want the protection that a gang can offer. Your gang is going to ask a lot of you; prison life is incredibly dangerous. Each gang member will be offered tasks to carry out for cigarettes, the prison currency of choice, allowing access to equipment and items from the contraband markets within the walls. You may be asked to shank a rival inmate or to destroy a treasured artifact deep in hostile turf, for example. Special achievements available within prison, often related to nefarious activity, will unlock customizations such as tattoos or haircuts so that you can send a message to those around you on the outside. Sentencing You could be serving up to 45 minutes behind bars. That is, unless you take matters into your own hands! As a good and obedient inmate, you have the options of working for the prison with small jobs such as pressing plates or cleaning up trash in the yard. This work will reduce your sentence time. Time is money, though. Sometimes you just can’t wait. If you’re willing to take the risk, you can force your way out. When conditions are right and the inmates are ready, you might be able to get into a guard room and get your hands on a weapon. This can kickoff an entire player-versus-player scenario between a group of inmates and the guard forces. Fight your way out through an increasingly difficult situation and you’re home free; you’re going to have an even bigger bounty on your head, though. Prison breaks can also happen from the outside. If the prison isn’t on lockdown, outside gangs can gear up and bring the fight to the police. These conflicts are much more intense, though, and there is a lot of risk involved as the police are well equipped and the attackers can lose everything if killed or arrested. Trial by Jury If you hate the idea of getting your hands dirty with work but you’re not up for risking a longer sentence trying to escape, you might want to try your luck in front of a jury of your peers. Those with a heavy term can request a trial. Several random citizens around the land will be summoned to jury duty, being paid if they answer the call. Your fate will be in their hands, and also on the shoulders of your attorney. You might represent yourself or hire a smooth-talking legal corporation to help get you off the hook. You or your lawyer will have a short opportunity to explain how the law must have wronged you (you’re innocent, right?) and then it’s all up to the jury. If most of the jury declares you not-guilty, you’re free to go; however, if only a few don’t buy your story it’s back to your small cell. Serving Your Time When you’re not in the mood for the gritty and competitive life in gang warfare, find your way to the common areas in the prison. Common areas are safe zones with all sorts of ways to pass the time with other inmates around you. The common area gives you safe access to weightlifting, TVs which play from a variety of streaming services, billiards and more. You might be locked up, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun! DasMEHDI plays Town Square live! Earlier this month, DasMEHDI, a popular Twitch streamer, had the chance to hop into our development build and explore the Town Square with his friends. Check out the hilarious footage below! Note that this is an early development build, which was already outdated at the time of play, and is not representive of the Town Square's current state. Still, it's a lot of fun! DasMEHDI Early TS Development Build Play New website is here The Identity website has had an overhaul to prepare for the Town Square release and Steam integrations. The new website brings all kinds of cool new features, mostly for the game account systems and the Identity shop! We're also going to be filling up the About page with all sorts of new information from the Insider releases. Now that the website has a true and proper shop, you can now get your hands on cool new items without having to buy entire packages. The shop now has all kinds of exclusive items, including apartment pets! You'll be able to get your hands on friendly critters for your home in-game as well, although those featured on the shop are only available there. Some of these items are only available for a limited time. Some of the new items include: Custom T-Shirt Graphic - Upload an image which can be placed on T-Shirts you create in-game! Each image can be used on 10 shirts. Vanity License Plate - Show your style with a custom license plate, visible on your in-game vehicle. Vanity Phone Number - Want a number that's easy to remember? Get a vanity phone number for yourself or your business. More Apartment Floorplans - Floor plans which haven't been available since Kickstarter, including the enormous Penthouse. Huge Clothing Packages - Clothing packages including clothes with dozens of original brands. Pets! Cats, dogs and more - Pets currently available include sphynx and tabby cats as well as pugs, maltese and the shiba inu (doge?). Another important note: when the new payment options (aside from PayPal) go live, we'll shortly after be removing all of the old packages. We will at this time never again be selling cash, so there's not much time remaining to get starter cash before Identity goes live. This is not something we plan to sell again in the future, but all who have it in their account will be able to claim that cash once on each server. Visit the New Identity Site Now! The Twitch Clips If you've been following Identity's development closely, you probably already know that developers stream their work live on the Identity Twitch channel every Tuesday and Thursday. We also use that time to answer almost every question that gets asked about Identity's development and gameplay. Now that we've been doing this a while, we've answered a lot of questions. Our awesome community manager, BeachBall, has taken the time to compile a massive list of questions linked to clips where they're answered by a developer. Get comfy and head over to the Twitch Clips Directory forum thread. If you haven't found this already, be prepared to spend a good bit of time listening to all sorts of awesome information. This is the best place to learn of Identity's fine details! -- John VanderZwet

Hey everyone, Was announced release date? I don't know sorry about this. I have some informations about this but I can't believe another one because of Internet has many results. Anyone can say about another date or guess it ? With my best regards.

So we all know that allot of people in this community are mad, and I can get why, and I think the developers also can get why they are mad. To everyone that is mad: Yes, I get it, you paid (Pledged actually) for a game, some even paid over 3 years ago and some only last month, as they were expecting a game by now. I completely, and I think I can speak for the team working on the game too, that they fully understand why you are mad. And yes, it is true that the transparancy is a bit lacking, and that we now have a "fancy" tracker that has been on the same thing for the past weeks. But all of you do have to understand that, creating games takes time. This is not activision with a million dollar budget, and this is not Rockstar, they are still trying to give you the best experience like we loved in Arma. Just for comparison, GTA V took 5 years, and research and everything behind it prob even longer. And they have tens till hundreds of people in their team and we all know, Rockstars budget is basicly unlimited. So for all you guys, be a bit more patient. Start arguing if the module is really shitty, then we can talk again. For the developers: Yes, we know you work hard, yes we appriciate what you are doing, but it has been 3 years. And you guys gave us dates, and you guys gaves us trackers. Instead you guys should have gone into the darkness and work on it, not like this as you promised transparancy, and being honest and open to us. And you guys are none of those right now. I hope you guys are going to give us the best module there is, but do remember, if it is not great at all, people will get even more pissed and I wouldnt be suprised of people in the states start a court case against you guys to get their, and maybe also our money back. Sorry for the bad english, and I hope you all now atleast calm down a bit.

It's being released between now and somewhen ?

Hello everyone, I am wondering; do you have to have the beta passport in order to play the TSM? Thank you!

So what do you guys think, when will the first module release? I hope next week.

I just saw the video (a little late lol) but I am blown away. I can't describe it right now I've waited for this so long words fail me. What are your reactions? -Diddly

Hey guys, I’d like to share my guess for the release date of the town square. So far, it has taken the devs 14 days to complete 32/64 of the remaining tasks. So, based off this, it should take another 14 days to complete the other half, giving us a release date of around May 17th. Yes, yes I know different tasks take a different amount of time, but I thought it’d be a fun thing to do while we’re waiting for the much anticipated release of the town square. Share your own guesses down below. Cheers!

So I was just wondering where you guys stand a week later. Please ask any questions you have here. I am here for debate and for helping you guys!

Hey I noticed the task tracker hasn't been updated in two days when they said they would update it everyday... Thoughts?

I am so hyped by this game. How you can decorate your own house to when you drive a vehicle how the gear switches work and actually have to put your car in park! I can’t wait. When is the release?

Will the Town Square module release at midnight(12:00 AM)? If so, in what timezone? I'm an early bird.

I wondered if there is any specific date for the beta release?? Because a friend and I wanna sign up the 30$ version to be able to test the game in BETA

I looked over the forums to find if someone asked this (oddly specific) question, and I couldn't find any. So, I want to know what time of day on April 23rd Identity will be released. Because April 23rd is a Monday, most people will be at work or school, and personally I'd like to download this game as soon as I possibly could.

So they said in Dev #011 - Identity Town Square module will be released, to all backers with a $30 or higher pledge, on this coming March 21st. But in 'modules' is written COMING APRIL 23, 2018. Oh and in Q&A is We expect the first module, Town Square, to be available in early 2017.. My question is, can I actually play now or I really have to wait? I have pledged 'Founder' rank.

Hello devs, many people probably think about getting a refund now and i really understand. The ts release is getting pushed back again and i think you should give a little bit more to the people who still believe in this project. What about giving everybody who pledged before ts comes out a little extra money? Biker and up-sized 2000$ Speed demon 4000$ VIP 8000$ What do you guys think about my suggestion?

Hey guys, i'm new citizen here, i just want to know some things about the beta in 2 days. The beta is only for the $30 or more ? What we can do in this beta on identity?

I have been following this game for a few months now, and I am very exited for its beta release. My one question is if the game trailer and identity insider content that is said to come out this month will be released. Thanks in advance.

When will The Town Square Be Released?

I have a question when is officially released?

Will streamers be able to stream the beta/youtubers be able to make video's about i?

What are your guys' thoughts on the release date for the town square module? If you haven't heard, the Town Square Module will be released on March 21, 2018. We are around 5 months away from the town square module. Are you guys happy about this or not? Let me know what your opinions are! Personally, I'm a little bummed out that the town square is being released so long from now, but I'm sure that it will be worth the wait.
