the IDENTITY release

IDENTITY is a release for players rather than creators - we have some tasty treats for creators coming in the next release after this. But Facebook and Twitter players will welcome this one...

We're moving another step away from dependence on Facebook and Twitter. You can still use them to log in - but you're no longer limited to inviting Facebook and Twitter friends to social actions in Fallen London. Instead, you have a friends list you can populate as you like, even if you log in via email. For convenience, you can still import any Twitter or Facebook friends who also have a StoryNexus login - but you don't have to do that. You can just add users one at a time if you prefer.

Of course this means anyone can add you to their friends list - so we're adding a Block feature to prevent unwanted invitations.

We've added a couple of other convenience features too - you can unlink a StoryNexus account from Twitter and Facebook (so you can easily switch it to another Twitter or Facebook account, for instance), and you can change your username.

All this is available both in Fallen London, and in other StoryNexus games (which will be adding social actions in a couple of months).

IDENTITY should go live around 20th September. Take a look at http://bit.ly/SNRoadmap for information on what else we have planned.
