Posted November 10, 2017 Here are the stream notes for Identity's twitch stream on November the 9th. Remember - Certain elements are subject to change, especially specific numbers, etc... - Game play videos is in the works. Previously the Dev team was running an old version of Unreal Engine, but this week they are merging the game and upgrading to the latest version. UI is a top priority right now. There is also a vehicle physics video planned soon, but it cant be done until engine merge is finished which should take around a week. - There will be lots of weapon attachments including a range of optics, flashlights, compensators, etc... There will be no very long range optics or silencers as this would make murder too easy of a task and promote RDM. By making murder an automatic wanted level and police report, it makes murder a lot more important and discourages RDM, whilst also promoting jobs such as assassins who will take the risk of the murder. - Your civilian life is very separate from your cop life. You will join the server as a civilian and can go to the police station to clock in as a police officer where you will be allowed to join depending on the servers max number of cops allowed at one time. You can own a corporation and be a cop at the same time through this system. - There will be character creation, but it will be limited in certain parts to avoid unrealistic characters being made that ruin Role play. - Town Square Features: An Art Gallery (you can Paint pictures in your house and take them to the gallery to submit them. If it is accepted everyone who goes to the gallery around the world will see your masterpiece. - Karaoke bar, Chess and other board games should be ready for Town Square and more board games are planned for later on. Later on you will also be able to have your own chess sets you can take to your apartment. - Town square has been a total redo artistically since early kickstarter concept art. - To vote for your governor you will have to go to a voting booth which will be in city, usually in high population areas such as Town Hall. Whichever Governor pays more gets higher priority in the voting list (basically if your campaign fund is more you will be high up in the list of candidates to vote for and so will get more votes out of the hundreds of applicants that will be in the list). The same applies for billboards, where more money means higher billboard priority. - Marijuana business will be easy to run, where you simply have to find it, pick it, process it and sell it. The same can not be said for other drugs. Meth will be much more complicated to make and can be dangerous to make (for example you need to wear appropriate clothing. With Coke you will need to stomp the leaves, process the product with gas, etc... All the drugs were very researched - John spent days "researching" these drugs. - Kidnapping: You can restrain people with zip ties, and you can then force people into the back of your vehicle. There are special animations for throwing people into back of cars. - There will not be helicopters or planes in Identity as they remove interaction. - There will be Debit cards (which can't be stolen). They are for convenience purposes so you don't go to a shop to realise you are 23$ short and have to go back to an ATM. They will not accepted everywhere, such as in illegal areas. Someone asked: will detectives have access to debit transactions? Not planned yet but they will take it into consideration as it would make carrying cash (though risky) more useful for criminals. - You can get containers and fill them with drugs, weapons and other items and transport them by vehicle. - Pledge cars will have a lifetime insurance. Stealing cars is a touchy subject at the moment as vehicles with insurance could be duped if you stole a car and could take it for yourself. - Mechanics have the ability to repair vehicles. You can get called out to repair someones car and then you can tow it back to work on it, or replace a wheel there and then. - Trains will be AI run going cross map at high speeds. You can walk around the interior of the train while they are in motion. Busses will be player run and can be run by corporations. - You will need to refuel your cars quite regularly as they want this mechanic to be realistic. - You can go to the gym to improve physical attack stats (i.e. punches) but it won't change character appearance (how muscly you are) as they would have to make different sizes of all clothes for all physiques and there are a huge amount of clothes planned for the game especially seeing that players can make their own clothes. - Pledge rewards won't come with a drivers licence, but they will be easy to get (more like a tutorial video and game play scenarios such as getting tickets to teach role play and the realistic driving mechanics which should be a 5-10 mins task) Police can revoke your drivers licence for reckless driving. - Corporation logos can be branded on clothing to show something is authentic. - When you create a shirt you can have a decal on it (such as a logo or a graphic) and then you can choose clothing material, patterns (stripes, circles, checkered, etc...), colour each part of pattern, rotate patterns - variety is endless. - There will be a 2 seat Harley styled motorcycle. - You can wear 2 layers of clothing (shirt and jacket for example). - There will be tons of Easter eggs and little things that the map has to offer that can be found. The Devs really enjoy adding pop culture elements, and items such as (examples they named could be implemented) big foot in the woods, UFO's in the sky, etc... - You can make/drink coffee. - If you kill a corporation leader nothing really happens. The corporation isn't lost but it can be a show of rivalry. - You can't take clothes off bodies but can ask for their clothes in robberies. - Rain will effect road conditions. This mechanic is really based on the tyres your car has. Your car can get multiple types of tyres for different conditions. -RV's can switch between meth labs and drive-able vehicles, but you can't cook meth whilst driving. - Vehicles will despawn after around 45 mins.
