Posted March 18, 2017 Well, to be honest I expected this. Not the first time Asylum are excusing themselves. Let's hope the wait will be worth it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe even Motown got involved with the conversation and stated that it will be replaced with a gameplay video instead. I searched for it and could't find anything regarding this. (maybe i just couldn't find it) But if there whould be any communication regarding the delay of the module there whouldn't be much threads about "when will the module be released" and "when do you think the module will be released". When it comes to releasedates, the community whould know it if there was any public announcement. (Because the people are hyped for a date) The only thing i knew about was this : But this is no official announcement for the delay. Regarding to this post many people just expected that the module will not be released in march. Well with the latest discussion in discord the module will be deleayed. But an official announcement is still pending and there was no public talk about it as you said (no offense against you, just my result) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2017 Well it's the end of March already. Motown is sick from what he said which I find highly logical from what he's been doing. He went to PAX and GDC and those things are cold conventions. If not April then at least mid April by my guestament. You gotta realize this game is three years old. I can see them wanting to perfect it. Investors are picky people. 9 minutes ago, Woritmor said: I searched for it and could't find anything regarding this.

He went to PAX and GDC and those things are cold conventions. If not April then at least mid April by my guestament. You gotta realize this game is three years old. I can see them wanting to perfect it. Investors are picky people. That's for sure. Well, i don't write this because i am "angry" or "mad" that it has been delayed.I can understand this and i say i am not bad informed about the game because of reading the forums and Q&A's etc. But when it comes to Identity many people say that the communication of the developers is bad and because of this some people think that this game is scam. (Here in the Forums are posts about it and on Reddit for example) As you said the game is 3 years old already and in this timespan too less information has been given to the community. "Just" 2 Videos, Concept Arts but nothing playable. For most peopel it's to little. Many people (like me) also want official information from the developers and don't want to find about if the module has been delayed by a discord screenshot some user posted here. They want to hear it from @Motown or @Paratus here in the Forums or on the social Media pages. Now the news will be spread cause of this thread, maybe later on Reddit and people again start to think "why didn't they officialy announce the delay and we had to find out because of rumors and another Discord Screenshot?" (And even the Screenshot posted here doesn't have an official statement because its not Motowns area as he said) That's what many people will think and i can understand it. Even in my oppinion they should announce the delay officialy in a devblog for example in the next days. Else some people could get mad again I tried to empathize with the other peoples thoughts regarding on what they already wrote here in the forums and on reddit about the game. So please see this post an well-intentioned advice to the developers and not as a flame post from myself. Thank you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't start working properly on the game until the kickstarter was over / funded. I think a good estimation of the module being delayed at most of 3 weeks but I think it will be mid April around the 14th being my estimate. The reason I think it has only been delayed by so much is because the devs only was delayed by at most 2 weeks from going GDC and PAX, I am including that Motown was ill after as well with the delays.

Posted March 19, 2017 2 hours ago, JamesLuck01 said: I think the racing module will be more complicated to get perfected. I hope so. Vehicle dynamics are a pretty complicated feat of both understanding engineering and programming so I hope they have someone in place to deal with that properly. Quote All vehicles are being made with painstakingly realistic physics and high fidelity. This is a quote from their kickstarter and something I'm following very closely myself. It's something I hope they get right and essentially makes or breaks this game for me. I hope it takes a very decent amount of time to work on and I definitely don't mind if it gets delayed. My only issue with it is how to make "painstakingly realistic physics" accessible to a general audience without dumbing it down. Various racing and driving simulators do NOT work well with either controller or mouse and keyboard. Looking at console examples like Forza and Gran Turismo have dumbed down physics to be more responsive for casual controller use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2017 I'm sure this game is brought up various times throughout the forum and this game's related forum websites as well, but I believe we should entrust in the developers and other's related with the game as well, but we sure as hell don't want another No Man's Sky on our hands. Not saying that this game will be, but it's another one of those "too good to be true" games, and we all know that to be true. Sure we have the capability, but it's the funding. If No Man's Sky would have been funded and had a capable team, it could have been a massive success and not fallen off so quickly. I understand the "hands-off developers", put a bit a scare into the community, we have reason to after the recent failure of games the past year and so on, but I believe we should let the development stage run its course and determine the game and companies outcome after the first module is release. I too hope to see a statement from the developers confirming or debunking these alleged claims soon. Hopefully, we will! If you took the time to read this entire post, thanks.

Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Looks like to me in the first OP that arky is just spreading some bs, at no point did motown ever agree to what a random guy on the forums and discord, is saying. Then Mr.Clark asked motown on the 18th of march 2017, asking if its been delayed then motown has just stated you're probably hearing rumours but cant comment on timelines. Chill out everyone till we get an official statement, yes motown stated that the town square is behind because of pax and gdc but no one ever stated anything official.

Not the first time a game, show (Rick and Morty), or whatever's been delayed. Nevertheless, if they make it worth the wait I'll be more than happy to excuse their miscalculation. Development is hard, otherwise all of us here who have the time to be complaining about it all day would probably be even looking to help the Identity team themselves; After all they're always open to new talent.
