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.

Power Colors

I know we will be able to change the color of our powers, what I was wondering if we will be able to make a truly black or white power? In the past, certain games could handle tinting the powers the colors of the rainbow, but they couldn't handle doing black or white. Is this still the case with modern games, or has this been resolved?

I know color selection was

I know color selection was available in CoH eventually, so one would assume it would be a thing for CoT.

The rest of the comments now have me recalling the SNL Eddie Murphy/Joe Piscopo skit.

(insert pithy comment here)

I doubt previous games have

I doubt previous games have prevented people from using black or white as colors for powers because of any specific graphics limitations. It may have more to do with how the power effects are drawn and whether they use white or black as contrasting outlines around the effect.

For example take a look at the following pic:

The beam coming from Cyclops is drawn using black as an outline around the edges of the beam. If you could re-color the interior part of the beam solid black you'd lose all the detail of the beam and it might cause other unforeseen problems in a game like this.

Again I'm not saying it would be impossible for the graphics software to use black or white as options for this. I'm just saying there might be artistic impacts and/or clipping issues that might make using black or white look arguably worse than using other contrasting colors. I suppose in the interest of full customization CoT should allow us to use black or white even if it negatively impacts the overall visual effects. *shrugs*

IIRC the limitation to only

IIRC the limitation to only let you change hues was to limit the number of cases the developers have to validate to make sure they don't look bad. When you start changing saturation and lightness as well, you have to deal with the folks that would make certain revolting shades.

Seriously, guys. Just say no to mauve.

Has anyone seen my mind? It was right here...

So don't just stand there, bust a mauve!

Actually mauve and taupe would make the most amazing signature powers. Like almost-completely-blended peanut butter and jelly.

Chartreuse. Which sounds more like a convincing pyramid scam diagram (i.e. a chart ruse) than a real color.

That's always the first version that pops up in my brain also. I had to push past "You are blind as a bat and I have sight" to get to the original lyrics.
