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.
Looking good

Sorry if I missed it but when will be able to get these files to adorn our pc's, tablets, mobiles? :)

Topographic maps can be spiffy! Unless they look like an '80s flight simulator.
Watching it at 1080p I thought that video looked a bit blurry.

Looks fine, got some good variety there.
Hey, I was glad I got the video editor to handle 1080.

I was trying to describe an 80's Fight simulator to my young nephew just yesterday.
He didn't believe me!
The wallpapers look great, by the way.
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
I'm partial to the first one with the rooks. It looks good. Really good. That one says "comic book art" to me. All the details, down to the checkered hair pattern, are awesome. The black and white "City of Titans" logo, honestly, also looks much better and standout than the multi-colored with brushed steel logo at the top of this page too, IMO.
The others don't particularly strike a chord with me. that's not to say they're bad or anything, I just don't care for the... style, I guess?

This is why we do an early peek, with a cross-section to see which pieces people respond to more. Then we know which areas we need to focus on.

I haven't said anything because I understand art is highly subjective and didn't want to hurt the artists' feelings, but if you're really looking for feedback then I have to say I agree with Xander: the b&w MWM screen is the most professional looking and the first gathering of characters is the closest to what I would consider proper comic book quality.
Spurn all ye kindle.
+1 except I kind of liked the painted looking one with the hawk\eagle guy. Kind of Kingdom Come painted-pannel looking.
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
I like the art style of the first group picture, and see a sci-fi appeal in the 3rd one with the (telekinetic?) bird, but to be honest I don't yet have a connection to any NPC groups. Anthem is the closest to being a recognizable / relatable character, perhaps. Until there's a connection for me, I'd gravitate toward cityscapes, action scenes, or "in production" artwork (showing the concept or progression of a building or costume) for desktops rather than group photos of NPCs. Of the choices in the video, the CoT color logo is the one I'd use.
what`s the extent of the wallpapers you`ll be using for this? I myself have issues ever finding anything i like for wallpapers that i HAVE to create or adjust in photoshop having said i run an extremely monitor-obsessive setup for an overall resolution of 7680x2880. not that i mind, as long as the outcome is good? (: but i`m mostly curious of we may stretch into the 1440p
We shout in anger, because we lose our calm. When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. But when people are in love, they don`t shout but talk softly. because their hearts are very close.
Im a fan of the Phoenix Plaza. I would like to see some more of it in there, like more buildings in the background, pedestrians, ect. All of it looked good though. Thanks artists!
Good day,
I agree with earlier statements, the first and third pictures are really great. I like the Phoenix Plaza as well. In fact for a background I would like to have that one that is in your video plus a "complete" one (showing all the textures). A before and after showing where we started and where we are going to end up.
Keep up the good work everyone.
Hmm... all good stuff. What would I like to see? I've been aching to see the character builder. But actually, when you mentioned the topographical maps, I was interested. Maybe not in topographical maps specifically, but a nice top-down map of the entire city.
I've liked topo maps since I was a kid. ;)

Gameplay Design, plus pitching in here and there on Art, Lore, Composition, Hijinx, etc.
As we refine the topo maps, it does shifts of various elements of the game. Much like in the real world, as things shift and change, it creates a domino effect.
As we place test objects onto the map (large blocks the size of buildings) we recognize that some zones are too close to others, some have too much empty space, etc, and we have to shift again. Comparing the original planned-for map to the current, a lot of these shifts have happened, some incredibly dramatic. I think the only zone with its original borders intact is Victory Beach, the amusement park.

Oooo...I cant wait to be able to make a gryphon char in the game! Darn it this game needs to come out NOW!! (hopefully I can give my gryphon briefs like a real superhero wears. :P )
Freeze evil doer...I SAID FREEZE!! *fires freeze ray*
Now would be good. Seriously. You guys need to hurry. I just tried to play DCUO for my Superhero fix and I just... couldn't...
Hurry.

... you think its borders are still intact from the original? Haven't looked very closely at the posted overview maps, have you? :)

Ahem. Before everyone breaks out the pitchforks, those would be the internally posted overviews for the purposes of making sure we didn't somehow accidentally transpose a bit of the Himalayas into the actual map data. You're not missing out on anything -- there's nothing in there yet that you haven't already seen (probably cleaner details of) during the various updates.
Actually, you've seen more than that, but I'll leave figuring out where as an exercise to the readership. I have to leave y'all *something* to chew on, after all...

I am just curious.is that background what those npcs will look like in game? or will they be more COX like in game?
Still waiting for wallpapers.
This is becoming a joke, as this is one of the low hanging fruit that you could have met.
And still you miss it.
*checks*
I do not see you on any of the perk levels which has the wallpaper included.
Please contact me with your KS email, pledge and perk tier level so I can resolve this.

Hail Titans!
I just contacted support, have the KS badge, Tier lvl is Dynamic Duo, and was asking how I can unlock the wallpapers after downloading them? That pesky password thing:) And also wanted to know where I should start for getting my Dynamic Duo friend involved? Like letting him in on the wallpapers too? I read the update, but still the whole process seems a little fuzzy.
Cheers,

(Ok),....I found the password(appropriately) hidden in the "Read More" area of that announcement. Sorry for the confusion there. I am still interested how the rewards will be shared with my Dynamic Duo friend?

When we send out your "buddy code" for Dynamic Duo, it will flag them with the same Kickstarter badge you have now. This then opens up the Kickstarter Exclusive section of the website, where everything is being stored.

They will need a cot account. But before we do that we do hope to be on the revised authentication system, which will allow you to be set up without being tied to the forum as we are right now.

Some of us still use 4:3 monitors. In the future please generate the standard aspect ratio wallpapers in higher resolutions than 640x480. 1600x1200 should not be a problem considering there are widescreen copies up to 1900x1200.
And I could go for some 3D art depicting some good looking water shaders :D
ex:

Even though everyone knows not allot of games made with Unity3D look as good, it all depends on the Shader Designer. Look at this 3D scene made in Unity3D. :/ http://youtu.be/oQKbS8sCBrY?t=1m
1920*1080 res is also nice to have ;)
I'll be sure to pass this along.
(really, the last 4:3 monitor I saw of that resolution was a 12 year old Sun)

Tried the link in Update 93 and it doesn't work for me, not sure if my kickstarter email is correctly linked, *previews post* Hmm, no K on my forum account, I did send in a email to get it linked, who do I prod again?
I didn't get to do the kickstater, but are there going to be wallpapers for people who didn't get to do the kickstater?
Send a PM to Doctor Tyche.
