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.

left handed heroes?

are all heroes going to be right handed or will there be options for left handed heroes as well? or ambidextrous heroes? it seemed to me that in most mmos all I see is right hand dominate heroes, so I personally would like to see a choice if possible.

I would like it also, but my understanding is that it would require making double the animation for each set of powers so I don't think it will be done.

This new game may allow you to choose what body part your death-ray beams come from, but it might not be specific enough to be from the "right hand" or "left hand". If you choose "hands" for that it still might be something that'll default to the right hand.

You'd think that they'd eventually be able to do "handedness" animation where they could just make everything a left-handed character might do be a simple mirror image of anything a right-handed character would do. I can only assume you can't just push a button in a software tool to create "mirror image" animation like that.

It would sure help me make a toon after/for my 4-year-old (she'll be 6 when the game launches, that's totally old enough to play, right? :) )

Ya know I think a lot of video game characters are actually left handed. Even Link was left handed until the Wii. Then he was changed to right handed due to the design of wiimote and nunchuck. But I would like for the left handed heroes to be shown some love. Can't show all the love to us right handers.

I concur that it would be nice to have south paws in the game! *waggles her eyebrows like Snoopy*

Or perhaps in the universe of CoT, society never accepted being left handed and wold force lefties to use their right hands.

I'm joking, I would be more than ok with a left handed option, it should just be a matter of flipping the animations. But I only have to go back 2 generations with my grandfather having his left hand tied behind his back at school to force him to write with his right hand. On the plus side, that trained him to be ambidextrous.

My mother had this when she was at school... which explains why she writes left handed normally (they never could break her of that trait), but right handed when writing on a white board>

Although being right handed for a white board is a *definite* advantage, as you are far far far less likely to accidentally wipe clear what you have just written.

Me, I am 100% left handed for writing, although there are cases where I am right handed (eating, batting in cricket, mouse usage etc).

4) I have seen more intelligence from an NPC AI in TR beta, than from most MMO players.

I can only assume you can't just push a button in a software tool to create "mirror image" animation like that.

really it may be pressing more than one button, and coding a way for the game to save your preference, but in terms of meticulously going over the animation, it's motion, fluidity, etc. yeah, all of that can just be duped & mirrored easily.

There's a question of whether you want to do that on the avatar level or the animation level though. I'm not sure how the two are intimately tied together. Ideally you'd want it to mirror the animation only, but it might be simpler to mirror the whole avatar (possibly reversing your insignia, robotic right thumb, preferred cigar smoking side, etc).
