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.

Greyscale/desaturation or

Greyscale/desaturation or supersaturation or even adding noise for AoE auras. Something that suggests an environmental change, eg. some sort of physics manipulation (perhaps a buff or debuff). Optionally have a ring aura around it if the image processing is subtle.

Something like these perhaps? I just made this up. With an image filter there's so many possibilities. This is Black & White, 100% Saturated, and Some Added Noise. An edge effect (like cartoon-effect) would be optional.

I would like an elemental style of animations for wizard blasters. This way they can use air, water, fire and earth effects. the diversity of effects fits well with a mage style character.

I was suggesting an animation set for Blasters. It would offer many varied effects, like air, lightning, fire, stone, and ice, all mixed together.
This would represent the many varied spells a Mage would know. I chose a theme of the Four Elements to make it more mystic.

IE, a starting power would be a gust of air, the next would be a lightning bold, then fire. All of these effects are likely already in existing animations. All we would have to do is mix them up into a new animation theme.

I'll point here for an overview of how animations/powers will work in City of Titans. As of now, a variety of VFX can be added to any movements. So a package of mixed elements wouldn't fit the current model.

This thread was so much harder to recompile because the animation thread also had emotes in it and there's already an emote thread, and many of the posts were simply "here's a video, gimme this" and I don't think that's helpful for a dev looking for ideas.

So, this thread is focused on animations for powers, rather than emotes, idles, costume changes, etc. So, here it is:

Movements
Dramatic weapon summoning

Dancing

Particles
Rain
Clouds
Electrified clouds (Photosensitivity warning)
Plasma wisps/neon

Emanation points
The user's back
The user's nape
Above the caster (Photosensitivity warning, again. I'll fight these low framerates)

Entities
A puppet/marionette
Elemental limbs
A giant temporary shield/forcefield

Misc.
Attacks like throwing and re-summoning the weapon after it's thrown, (variation: doing it with multiple weapon copies)

I tried to sort by my best understanding on your description of the categories. :)
Also we have fingerguns on the list, but I just gotta share this because it's a wonderful way to watch that animation in action. :P

I've been away for several

I've been away for several months and am getting caught up. Excited to see that video tour of Alexandria. But that reminded me of something I recall from way back when Pretoria opened up: All the reflective surfaces.

Because Titan City has so many reflective surfaces, mirrors and etc., I think it would be great if there were animations / emotes that show our characters checking themselves out in them. Here is a brainstorm of a few:

  • walking animation where we stop, lean back half a step, and nod in approval before walking on.
  • standing animation where we twist to look at our backside
  • flying animations can duplicate walking animations if we change what the lower body does while flying
  • telling yourself that "you look mahvelous" but in body language.

I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.

I need some confirmation on something. I have a list of animations regarding unarmed combat. But a lot of them are specific strikes instead of just a type of strikes like "Martial Arts" or "Boxing".

Is this fine?

Renkage, I think that's part of the intent of this thread. Suggest your suggestions. Worse thing that happens is that they don't make it in. Which is the fate of most of the suggestions in this thread. That said some of your specific requests may already exist in the animation pack that they have purchased.

Alright, sorry about my

Alright, sorry about my paranoia. Kind of a bad habit. WIthout further ado...

AHEM

Unarmed combat fanatic here to bring you to the PUNCH EMPORIUM (and other strikes with the body). I noticed there isn't enough unarmed combat. There is a few, but NOT ENOUGH! So here we go

Dempsey Roll (This can be multiple separate animations. The rolling back and forth in a defensive posture. Could be a good animation for a defensive self buff. Swaying left with a heavy right punch. Swaying right with a heavy left punch. Then the rapid fire left/right as seen in the video)

Butterfly Kick (Maybe add a bit more flair to the landing)

Headbutt

Somersault Kick

Spear Hand Strike

Shoulder Tackle

The Sledgehammer Strike (maybe combine it with a hover/hop if on the ground? A good animation for a knockdown attack, to slam them back into the earth.)

Spinning Hook Kick

Floating Combat

Elbow Strikes

Clasped Hands Swings (not sure what else to call them, but they are rad. The whole video has some examples of other types of Clasped Hand Swings, but those are the two clearest imo)

Knee Strikes

Spinning Strikes

Roundhouse Kicks

Flying Kick

I tried to avoid basic strikes. Because I assume they are gonna be added. So stuff like jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and the like weren't included in the list. I coulda added more, and I might still add more. But finding the names for these attacks is a pain. As I am a fanatic, not a historian.

I must admit, I was

I must admit, I was disappointed with CoH's somewhat simplistic martial animations, when my (former boxer) Tanker was punching foes. I had to Imagine that he had techniques at least as developed as Dempsey's. Good hand-to-hand technique involves the whole body, not just waving your fists in the general direction of the enemy.
It would be Exciting to see more unified movement in CoT's animations.

Be Well!

I`I'm not sure if these should be considered animations or emotes or movements but:

1 limping
2 on crutches
3 hunched over walking
4 elderly shuffle

I could see the uses for roleplaying.

she can hit people with it,

she can hit people with it, use it as a bag of holding and can shoot missles out, she's a great example of attacks for both ranged and melee powers and as a way of getting your prop out. It's definatly a type of animations that would take alotof work, and is something you would have to buy but I think it looks cool.

Arkham Knight is probably a better basis to use, but in that video the cape is hiding his attacks, not his striking weapons. So "cape attacks" added with NoTear's video :)

I want umbrella and suitcase

I want umbrella and suitcase tricks like Doctor Henry Killenger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLVWFM8CrMk

and while people will say this belongs in props I'll have to disagree, I'm not saying I want an umbrella or briefcase that looks a certain way, I'm saying I want to use my umbrella and suitcase in a certain way. More of an evil Mary Poppins way than a Penguin way.

Is an evil guy killing evil guys evil?

Either way, I do think this is under Props, since umbrella tricks without an umbrella Prop doesn't really make sense.

I think some of these ideas

I think some of these ideas might be considered packages, because they include props, animations dependent upon those props, and FX that work with those props and those animations. I started a package thread, but it seems I'm the only one who ever contributed to it; probably because of the work involved, I guess.


I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.

I could see this as adding a fiery particle effect with the emanation points being the hands and shoulders respectively. Along side a spinning kick and power-up stance. Kinda the fun part about the system they have in place

All though. That being said. Should Shoulder Blades (the anatomy, not a blade on the shoulders) be added as a separate emanation point?

Emanation points, as far as we've been told, are points from which power attacks originate, so things like beams and rays and such. Since shoulder blades are on your posterior, I find it hard to conceive how they could be used as emanation points.

Having said that, however, I could certainly see the shoulder blade area being used for fast travel power effects. And if such effects need an emanation point then by all means I think that's a good idea.

I've been wondering if MWM

I've been wondering if MWM had any thoughts or plans to combine auras and emanation points. For example, an aura that provided the appearance of additional arms akin to:

Then emanation points that could provide the impression that attacks were coming from the hands of those arms.

Added "thruster charge" under

Added "thruster charge" under Movements, and "rocket strike" under Particles, since a jet powered spin kick is a spin kick with jet effects.

"Area around character" could cover the aura :)

How about extra limbs as a particle effect? Like they grow out of you when you attack and mimic the actions of your arms, or something like zanyatta from overwatch where he makes laser arms when he uses his ultimate to heal everyone around him

You seem to be describing Dichlonus Vectors when at full power, translucent ghost limbs. I'd be all for that. I think that manifestation of telekinesis is really cool.

basically, just summoning the arms for only your attacks rather than making an entire mesh

For those who only want it as an attack we'd have an attack animation for those who want it always, an aura, sounds good.

floating weapons as a

floating weapons as a particle effects one you can have as an aura that's just them floating around and one for powers that has the weapons attacking. Maybe have versions that have all archaic medieval type ones, one that a bunch of guns and one that's a mix of both.
