Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

Catching up on the Kickstarter/Shut Up and Take Our Likes!

This week we’re going to get into a little Kickstarter book keeping. No, not numbers - backlog.

We’re not where - we want to be with Kickstarter fulfillment, I’m sure that’s pretty universal for almost every project at this point in the lifecycle. We’ve finally got a a few of the errant ducks in a row allowing us to move forward so tonight we’re going to talk about where art comes into that picture and how we’re moving forward with that.

A little bit back we sent out our first survey, for the backers who purchased our “physical” badge, seen below. Bear in mind that’s not quite the final version, I keep finding little tweaks, but we’re nearly there. We stepped back a bit on prioritization on this due to the number of folks who had not yet filled out their survey. IF YOU BOUGHT A BADGE and you didn’t fill out a survey monkey survey, check the email address you use for Kickstarter and let us know if you can’t find it. We’re going to start production soon.

Not that is the untrimmed version.

A bit after that we sent our second survey, to the backers who purchased the Mogul perks. This is one of my favorite things we did with the Kickstarter. As described, it lets the backers define a piece of architecture for the city and have their own unique base (lair?) access as part of the building. Pretty cool. And the responses we got back were great. Last week Art, Lore, and tech sat down and went over the responses collected to far to whittle down the requests to make certain we could accomplish and integrate everyone’s ideas. We hedged our bets with the survey, asking for more than one request just in case we ran into something we didn’t think we could work into the map. Impressively, almost every first choice went through and it really got some wheels turning in Lore and Art. It was a great meeting.

Over the next few weeks one of our principal concept artists, Joerden Leigh will be reaching out to each of those backers to move these concepts through the the first stages of concept art before turning them over to the 3D artists. If you haven’t seen the updated MWM site ( http://www.missingworldsmedia.com ) you can get a small idea of what Joerden can do. We’re very lucky to have him.

In parallel to that, we’re going to be sending out the surveys for our Fashionista, Lethal Weapon, and Double Trouble surveys. If you picked those up in the Perks cart, be sure to keep an eye out for those surveys. REMEMBER - the contact information we have for you comes from Kickstarter and will ALWAYS be sent to the address you used with Kickstarter unless you updated it with our Perks cart.

Our T-Shirt order is finally in with Teelaunch and should go to press in the next week or so - we’ll make certain that lands in the updates the week it happens. The September shirt will go in shortly after and that will be the last one handled as a bulk order. Starting with the October shirt you’ll be able to order your shirt via http://shirtofthemonth.cityoftitans.com. This is our new, Teelaunch based store where you’ll be able to order the latest shirt and get it in days rather than waiting til the middle of next month.

Speaking of the new shirt - here it is. Doctor Tyche Advances! by our own Copper Cockroach.

You like us. You've told us many times. But do you [i]like[/i] like us? I mean...would you...like us on [i]Facebook[/i]?

Would you like us TEN THOUSAND TIMES?

We may already have five thousand likes on our MWM page, but I think we all know there's a whole lot more of us out there. You all really came through for us during the Kickstarter, and we've been relatively quiet since – just doing our work and putting out our updates, the occasional interview. But now we're approaching the one year mark since then, and we figure it's time to reach out again. I think there's a whole lot more out there who'd like to know we're here, would like to like our Facebook page. In fact, I think there are at least twice as many as we've already got.

Well, actually, there are probably at least twenty or thirty times as many – but we're only asking you to find ten thousand for now.

So...cue the new meme, please!

This is our call to action – get us to TEN THOUSAND LIKES by the end of October. We have special reveals planned for each additional 1000 likes you get us, and each one is going to be better than the last. Goodies range from some long overdue ask-a-dev sessions to a whole new level of artistic shiny. Some of them might even move...we'll release a list of the rewards later. After all, the first few thousand should be easy right?

Easy because we don't want all these new likes to go to our MWM facebook page – the one you've been following all this time. I mean, we won't mind if they go there too, but our goal is to draw all your attention to another facebook page that has quietly existed for some time. Well, quiet time is over. There is a City of Titans facebook page, and it's about time we all paid attention to it. We will now start putting City of Titans specific news there, and things more related to the company of MWM on the MWM page. So over the next month, expect a shift, and posts that point to the CoT page rather than directly to the updates, as we guide you all over. The City of Titans page only has about two thousand likes right now – so the first three thousand should be a snap right? Just hop on over and add your like there too. The first three reveals are as good as yours.

But don't stop watching MWM – that's where calls to action and requests for recruitment will be going, among other things. Ask about the game on the City of Titans page. Ask how you can help us make games on the MWM page.

The drive culminates on the update before Halloween – you treat us and we'll treat you. Promise.

So...spread it around you all! You have your orders. Ten thousand likes on the CoT facebook page by the end of October and I promise, we'll give you something that will make you very glad you did. Here's the link.
