Announcements

Join the ongoing conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/w6Tpkp2

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.

I think the new mouse-over-avatar-change feature will make things much easier!

Any chance we can get keymapping soon so that those of us who don't use WASD can enjoy the island?

Glad you liked it. It's something I really wanted when I was doing my first characters, and I'm glad I had a chance to put it in.

Cinnder wrote:

On the island, probably not any time soon. The island is a simple test zone, and only has rudimentary code for controls. For user-defined keymaps, it takes a lot of infrastructure that's just not in place there. I expect the priority for any keymap code will be in the early MMO releases somewhere, along with other persistent user settings.

If you just need arrow keys to also work, I can probably sneak that in somewhere, but it would be hard-wired in the code like the current WASD setup.

I think it's the same one that's been there all along. It's possible the initial time of day on entering has been changed, though I haven't touched it myself.

Loving the mouse-over figure

Loving the mouse-over figure updates. And the little things, like being able to select an existing swatch and push it to the "shelf". I switched up my main to wear a chopped Rook shirt.

The emblem and emblem base vertical sliders appear to be locked together now, perhaps both linked to the same function.

The shelf hasn't really changed except that you can hover-preview the swatches as a color/material pair now.

I didn't think I changed anything there, but there's a bug there now. Probably broke something when I fixed the sliders to read back from the character. I'll put it on the top of my list of stuff to fix in the AB. Thanks for catching that!

Let's be fair; We're constantly putting stuff on Discord, and we've had some back and forth on Twitter too. Anyone that thinks we're inactive just isn't paying attention.

Well in the spirit of fairness not everyone uses all of the various social media outlets (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Discord, this website, etc.) so the playerbase of this game, what there is of it, is now far more wildly spread out than ever before. That's part of the reason all these venues seem like ghost towns when you look at the amount of traffic each of them have individually. It's not technically MWM's fault but in my opinion it's not really a good thing to let the base "spread out" like that because it promotes the impression (to people such as Zerohour) that nothing's happening in general.

That may be, but there have been multiple requests by the folks here that this website be the official place for news on the game.

I'd like to voice my support

I'd like to voice my support for this as well. Call me old school but I just don't have time for 5 different social media/gaming apps to try and keep up on the latest news. I come to the official website for updates and it is disheartening to hear that information has been posted elsewhere and not here as well.

With that said, I am excited to get home and try out the new updates!

It's definitely much easier and faster to drop a message or picture into Discord than it is to make a post here, for sure. Especially when you're mobile.

Well if you want to make the Discord page your "main" page now for news/updates that's fine. Considering that I don't think Discord even existed back when you guys started this epic journey no one could really fault you for wanting to go "where the action is" now.

I just think there's an unintuitive disadvantage to having multiple outlets on the Internet for this kind of thing. If you guys had millions of players/followers that'd be one thing. But as it is now you've spread the handful of regulars you do have across 3 or 4 sites which only dilutes your current effective impact.

Yeah, it's a good point. My current project now is looking at the various ways to get our different communication outlets integrated together and more centralized.

I think it looks cool even if it's technically a "mistake". I don't know (and/or recall) how much weather is playing a factor in this game but there are nights IRL that are overcast enough where you can't really see much above a low-level cloud bank that obscures the stars above. It'd be cool if the day/night cycle could be slightly variable enough to have a few "cloudy/rainy" days.

Some context about that picture...

This was a picture of a neighborhood we are working on with the lighting accidentally set to dark. We haven't done lighting work on this part of the neighborhood yet, and we definitely plan to have more light in the sky, stars and moon, and the lighting on the buildings here is darker than we plan. We shared this picture in Discord for fun just because it shows a little of what Downtown and the Theater District will look like at night.

This was one of the only pictures we can think of right now that has been shared on Discord, but not here in the forums yet. If we think of others, we will make sure to post them in the forums too...

Message? Not in my experience, seems about the same. But to drop a picture in? Definitely, which is why I report my (or AIko's) clipping issues there.^_^

The problem I have w Discord

The problem I have w Discord is that it's not as easy to weed out the general chat and just look at important updates from MWM. Here on a forum I can just ignore other threads, which is why I prefer this location for official info.

Mistake or not, I like the look of the city at night!

The forum for a certain game that has returned in a semi-legal state has an easy Thumbs-Up (plus laugh, sad, etc) feature, so perhaps this forum could also someday.

I'm happy about the changes to looking at the various materials. Still want a way to favorite certain materials so I can quickly apply them (looking at you Chrome). It's not super necessary of course, because mousing over materials to show what they look like is huge step in the right direction, so I don't mind waiting for favoriting materials.

Also yes. I did quite enjoy the pumpkins. Kinda wish spooky ghosts came out of the pumpkins instead of some shiny particle effect. But hey, it's just a cool holiday goof, no big deal.

Might be a good idea to ease up on the snarkiness and just make things easy to find.

The problem for me is that I don't have any of those Social Media accounts. When F*ceb@@k blew up into the quagmire that it now is, I deleted what few I had.

If I can't get my information from legitimate sites, I won't even bother. It's too easy to be someone you're not in this day and age of internet anonymity.

So I patiently wait here for the proper dissemination of news.

I tried Google Hangouts and Myspace and couldn't find anything.

Discord is a mountain of spam if you're not there most days, ie. you're not actually coordinating your work via Discord. And if you are there most days but just as a tourist then a dribble of spam is still spam. I look forward to seeing the best bits showcased here. Til then I might burrow into Discord sometimes for as long as my attention-spam allows.
