Contemporary sandbox MMORPG Identity says that it is going to great lengths to deliver an authentic-feeling experience for its fans, which is why the team went out to a firing range to record weapon sounds and modeled ballistic physics based on real formulas for its guns.
As the team doesn’t have a sound specialist yet, a bulk of the work has come from one of the developers who simply owns a lot of guns and was game to have them recorded. The team said that these recordings are placeholders for now until they get something better.
Of course, fans don’t want to hear about weapon sounds — they want to know when they’ll finally be able to test this game. Happily, it looks like the community is about to be rewarded for its long patience: “With the Town Square development moving along, we’re not far off from showing the world real Identity gameplay! January is going to be a big month. For us in the studio, we’re excited to get our hands on a few new technology demos that might have a huge impact on Identity!”
