It's exciting to see all the updates and information coming out recently. The city is looking great, keep it coming.
I really like the way Ephesus is shaping up! The stairs and archway look great.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
I'm moderately pleased to see these more frequent updates. But why don't many of these updates ever make it to the Kickstarter? I understand that it has to wait until Cabbit can do it as access to KS is limited but most of these updates never get posted there.
This is why the Devs don't respond to many comments lately - If it's an update that shows no visible progress, people go "So why have you stalled out?" and if there is visible progress, like now, they go "When are you releasing?"
If you want to get a response for it, this is not the thread for it. This isn't a thread for all the updates that could potentially come out; that's something that should be placed in, say, a General Discussion or Suggestions thread. If you want to comment on the update that this thread is for specifically, that's fine, but as it stands you're just retreading old ground that consistently derails these threads and rarely gets responded to anyways.

Before anyone asks why the ground is white with some lines on it, that is our layout pattern, to make sure things are positioned correctly. It is the last part of greyboxing to be replaced for the world map.

Halae did you even read his comment? He's asking why the update, and others apparently, didn't also release on KS. He's not asking about release at all...
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
I'm pretty sure they're just asking why one-shots aren't KS-updates. Awhile ago we decreased the update load (from weekly KS updates to alternative one-shot, bigger update) to stay out of demo-cycling. I think this one should make it to KS though :)

Halae has a fair observation, that this thread is specifically and only for discussing this update alone. I'll start a thread elsewhere.
... dammit, sorry guys, you're right. I'm gonna make the excuse that I didn't sleep well last night, and made an assumption about his post based on things that have come up a lot in previous release threads. Sorry for doing that.

I really like the design of the Phoenix Plaza statue. Something about those wavy lines.
Oh, and the city is shaping up nicely too!
Keep on keepin' on.
I do too! Especially being a sculptor, it's so striking!

Niiice. I r excite.
Waiting for the game to be in my hands has become something akin to torture. Loitering by the Phoenix Fountain is going to be the new Atlas Plaza I’m certain of it; I can see it now. So so excited for CoT to release!

I'm just curious to see how different it'll look with the lighting and water (and any additional modifications.)
On a general note, it's really cool to get another glimpse of the city.

Really enjoyable to see things taking shape. Keep up the good work MWM.
Cannot wait to see this zone in-game. It looks great as-is and with all the lighting and textures filled in I can only imagine how good it is going to look.
Looking fwd to getting home so I can view the pix on a proper pc.
Oh and to release day too, of course!
Spurn all ye kindle.
After taking the time to look a bit closer at the images, I just realized that in some of them you can see a stand-in character model used as reference to show exactly how big these buildings and even the city is intended to be. I got to say that this has me most excited! If there's one thing the player should enjoy the most when playing as a superhero, especially one of their own creation, is feel as though the city that they exist in is just one giant playground for them to let loose in!
"If I am to die in battle, Remember me for who I was and not what I've become..."
I can't wait to fly all around these buildings and get a good look at all the fine details. Thank you for sharing again! We can't wait to see the rest.
I assume that the Trex statue is dated to a time when the anatomy of the Trex was a bit more...lizard-ish? Cause the front limbs are totally inaccurate to today's models. There are some scientists that believe that the arms were completely vestigial only just protruding from the chest muscles, like the rear legs on some large constrictors. /nerd
How hard would it be to get a job decorating the city? IIRC there are many square miles to decorate and these "hero" area's would only constitute a small fraction. I'm sure there are many blocks that are, generic city scape 45. common suburb 23. etc. I also imagine that there is some work involved in QAing the city and also switching everything to final finishes.

Can we get a low-level arc where the villain is just really petty and wants to blow the statue up because it's not scientifically accurate? I could go for a real silly goofy mission like that.
You say that like you aren't responding to that villain!
