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.
Only need to work on some minor details now and need to figure out a suiting background and then.. it's finished!
Happy New Year everyone!

Nice artwork DD! I've always been so jealous of those who are greatly artistically blessed lol.
I love this rendition of DD.
In her case I think it was more the product of a couple years of hard work and practice. Her skill has grown by leaps and bounds of late.
What every Costume Creator needs... V2 V3
Aaaww, thanks! You guys make me blush! .
But yes, it has been hard work indeed. Practise, practise and... yeah, more practise *nods*. But not to mention feedback. Good, workable and optimistic, though honest feedback from aspecially you CR.
Here's an example of the first coloring I attempted. It was a pencil drawing of my character Darth Delicious done by Christopher Robin. (It turned out to be my favourite collab sofar .) I attempted to color it again recently.
So basically, this is the result of nearly 2 years of practise on coloring only..
I'm very happy to having been given the chance to do so!
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
I believe... I'm done!
Have to say, the back of the background is not done by me. I did do the bushes-thingies right behind DD and CW.
I got the lovely back of the background from WallpapersCraft.com. Unfortunately it doesn't say who the artist is. If anyone knows, do tell, so I can credit properly.
The dragons come from a screenshot from the "The Elder Scrolls" game. Found that on the same site aswell.
Now I'll have to keep this a secret till CW's birthday

Very nice... I am tempted to put reflected yellow and pink light on them from the sky... but that's negligible. Great job...
Considering that you work in PSP, I am amazed you can get this kind of quality, and even more so from the other pieces you post. I don't remember it being very versatile, which is why I think I switched to Photoshop 6, back when I first got a copy from my cousin. Until then I was using PSP exclusively and getting very frustrated, but then I also didn't have a wacom at the time...
We need to Skype screen share someday, when you start using photoshop. I will save you hours of banging your head. Not that you'll need it, you've got the drive! ;)
Thanks Bobby!
Hah! I actually played around with yellowish reflections on 'm, but couldn't quite get it right. And because this is a personal, from me to him, painting, I didn't want someone else working on it (though I did ask CR about the proportions.. but that's different ) so left it the way it is now. I'm still quite content about it and can't wait to see the result on canvas when it arrives somewhere this week (I'm guessing). More so I can't wait to see his face when he unwraps his gift!
Yeah, I work in PSP 9, a really old version too! Do have X4.. or however it's called, but it's too different from PSP9 and I just can't be bothered to find my way in that version.
PSP9 has a lot of the same options as PS has... just different names and sometimes different work-throughs. Ofcourse there are many many things I don't know (yet) about PhotoShop... There are so many tricks to make things easier! And every artist has their own too.
Oh! Skype sharescreen session! haha. I'd love that! It's an awesome way to share tips 'n tricks!
I do use Photoshop though. But because of the limited CTRL+Z option (it only goes back one move and the rest you'll have to do manually through the history list, while PSP9 can go back 500 moves) I rather use PSP 9, aspecially in the "designing" part of the painting. With the finishing touches I do tend to use PS instead of PSP.
There may be a way to fix that CTRL+Z function in PS-CS6, though I have not found it yet.
Also, PS tends to take a lot of memory, while PSP takes less. *shrugs*
Soon (I hope) I shall have a SD harddrive, as you, things may be different then!
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
The Undos are called History States, you can find them under Edit/ Preferences/ Performance on the upper right. I think default is 20... but they can go pretty high. Not sure why yours is set to 1. Control +Z is the first Undo, Control + Alt + Z are for the other 19.
Aaaah, see? There's a shortcut I never knew about! Never knew about the CTRL+ALT+Z.. (soo many buttons! Why? ) Cheers! .
I'm guessing it's set on 20 then... I'll find out.. (not now, cuz I has to do housechores *pouts*)
Fun fact though, The Dee and Cycling Warrior painting on canvas has arrived! Looks great! I can't wait to see his face when he unwraps it haha. He'll either love it, or think.. "what am I supposed to do with this" . Perhaps both.. *ponders*...

You know the two aren't mutually exclusive.
I was just saying to my compatriots Vastergöt and Björnspar "Hey guys next time we go pillaging
we should charge in on bikes! Those villagers will never see that coming" but Vastergöt was all like "I don't
know Biking Vikings? Not sure that inspires the necessary fear" and just then Björnspar was like
"I say thee nay! (he has an accent) Ne'er shall I sally forth upon thy two wheel contraption...
three wheeled contraptions on the other axe be a different affair entirely.
Verily I say Triking Vikings be a suitably terrifying visage.
... it was a day the local villages would not soon forget.

Well, if you don't have anything specific in mind, I suggested over in the collab thread
that maybe I should host another contest and make some lucky forumites day/week/month etc.

Started sketching on Zanje's character Titan for the number guessing prize.
Remember, this is just a pencil sketch, a work in progress. I'm quite aware that the proportions aren't all that. Still needs lots of work, but I'll do that digitally... once my knee agrees that I sit on a chair for several hours straight.
Wanted to go with a bit of a classic pose for a classic looking hero.
Zanje, can you name me a famous person that represents his haircut best?
And what's the age of your hero?
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
PM sent, it looks spectacular so far!
Update: My hands are itching to go do some (digital) drawing! But I have to be patient. I think, next week I'll be able to start. Knee is getting better still, so I'm keeping my hopes up!
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
looking good thus far DD! I am looking forward to seein g the finished product! hopefully that bum knee gets better soon...and for the record I mopped up my drool in the other thread so it wasn't me...just sayn. :)

No worries Foradain, all that is said in DeeDee's thread, stays in DeeDee's thread ... unless I let it out... *looks innocent*
Here's a little update on the sketch. (of and on sitting at chair for about 10 minutes, then do something else till I'm ready to sit on the chair again...) Note that I altered things digitally. Not sure if that's called cheating, but I'm planning on a digital drawing here anyway, and the pencils will soon be out of the way [evil laugh]. Ahem.
Edit: Here's a before and after, for those who are interested in that.

With the meddling pencils out of the way, you will be one step closer to ruling the world MWAHAHAHA..... sorry >.> That just blows me away, looking fantastic!
I'm glad to see you're enjoying the drawing sofar Zanje!
Here's an update on the face in original size. As I said I would be digitalyze the drawing in full color, so here's a start. Just basic flats so far. Did do some work on the eyes, cuz that's my favourite part and I couldn't resist. .
Now I shall lay my knee to rest again. It's going better each day, btw.
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
oooo...mikey likes it! those eyes look great!
Off to a great Start DD.
What every Costume Creator needs... V2 V3
Cheers everyone! Here's another update... on the eyes as they were too green, and imo, I thought they were "off" a bit. Can't tell you what it was exactly, but here's what I have now.
Zanje, is this more like the eyecolor you had in mind?
And here's a before/after scene.
Unfortunately I won't be able to work on this for several days as we get a very dear friend over till friday . So, till next time! *waves*
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
Perfect! i still cant believe how you can make it look so realistic, i mean you can even see the strandy...tendon....muscle...things that make up the iris, idk what they are called im not a doctor, but i do know it looks brilliant XD
Sounds like you are describing the stroma of the iris... but I'm not a doctor either.

Actually... I can tell you exactly how I do it - DeeDee's Eye Tutorial.
Just giving a small update here... in between packing boxes, making sure the house (and namely the garden) is appropiate for the next person that will rent it and preparing for the moval (arranging stuff) - all without harming my knee ofcourse - I am still working on Titan. Slowly but surely there is progress. Tiny little update for now.
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
nice, should turn out really nice when completed. :)
Sorry i have been real busy and not able to comment till now but WOW! it looks fantastic, btw how is your knee? getting better i hope? D-:
@Whiteperegrine; That's the aim!
@Zanje: No worries! Thanks for asking. Knee is as good as it gets for now. May have to put it in therapy at some point to be able to do more (like crouching, sitting on knees, biking), but I can walk and sit and bend it again! . Luckily all in time for the move.
Speaking of which, I was just checking in to say I'm still lurking about! Not commenting as much as I want to, but I keep track of what's happening around here.
Though this sunday the pc 'n stuff will all be packed for the move. Upcoming two weeks will barely contain any internettime as we'll be cleaning, painting, laying floors and redecorating our new home.
Till next time heroes. Keep flying and keep drawing!
*hugs and waves*
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
Well my pink friend i hope it keeps getting better for you day by day :-) and be sure to let us know everything went ok with the move! im sure im not the only one waiting to hear how ya like your new place and all!
Indeed.
Though I suppose there are easier ways of finding out.
What every Costume Creator needs... V2 V3
*waves enthousiasticly* We made it through the move! And Sam too, btw. . There is still a lot of work to do. Also have to do some finishing work at the old home before we give the key to the new tenant, to avoid any unwanted fines.
Our new livingroom and kitchen (and bathroom upstairs) are as good as done (still doing some unpacking ofcourse, see where goes what 'n stuff). Working on the bedroom right now, so I can continue to the "computer room", then onward to my hobby/spair-(bed)room (where I'll be spending time drawing and painting (traditionally, that is) amongst other stuff), then to the smallest room which will probably become a spair bedroom as it's barely big enough for anything else. Then onward to the scullery and finally (which possibly won't be untill next spring) the garden.
Oh, and then there's a week of absence from my part again too halfway August... cuz I'll be in London! .
Sad thing is though.... I won't be able to draw again untill September *pouts*.
Zod, I miss it!
⚜Check my Deviant Art page for more artz!⚜
Time to invest in a small sketch pad so you can sketch on the go! :)
I carry a sketch pad and pen in my back pocket. You never know when inspiration will strike.
PS. Don't miss going to see the Modern Art Museum near Piccadilly Circus. It is where I saw my first paintings by Van Gogh. It looked like he used a pallet knife; the paint was an inch thick!
@whiteperegrine, It's not that I don't have the gear.... it's the lack of time. Oh well, it's for a good cause, I keep telling myself . I'm playing with the idea of turning my hobby room's door into the front of the T.A.R.D.I.S.. Should be fun
Modern Art Museum huh? Noted! Cheers! Not sure if I can make my fellow travelers go, but I'll do what I can!

I'm afraid it'll be more like "smaller on the inside" .
That would be quite lovely! But I'm afraid I'll have to make do with paint. I do have some glow in the dark paint though! And I can maybe make an actual light on the top. Still working on how to do that exactly
Other happy news (well, I think it is anyway);
My workspace is ready! Okay, still have to put up more City of Heroes and other fun stuff to make it as cosy as I had it before, but !
Still have to do lots of things in and around the house, but everynow and then I'll take a day off and draw instead. I NEED to! Maybe I'll take a half day off today. Have to do a couple of little things, shouldn't take too long .
Coming wednesday I'll be off to London for a week! Time sure flies... actually time is irrelevant, but oh, I shall not bother going there as it's all wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff

Love the wall poster! ^_^
...and does the lightsaber light up? :)
@Bobby, It's on the pc case . Don't want it lying around on the desk at all time, to prefent possible damage 'n stuff, also leaves more room on the desk, I like space .
@Tiger: Thanks! So do I . It's printed on canvas, got it for my birthday two years ago . I made screenies of all my toons and put them together with a screenie of my Supergroup base on the background . For me it was "the last groupshot before the City ends"..

Hehehe. I LOVE pink, but I'm sure that's known by now *looks innocent*.
Had to google Pepto Bismol.. we don't have that here, lol.
This is the atticroom (one side of it, anyway , don't worry, the other side is pink too ), I claimed it, so I could turn it into my hobby room and so I could make it a pink room . The rest of the house I left pretty much alone, conserning pink, except for my pc spot. I made that just a little corner of pink, as you can see. Cyber Warrior's spot is blue (he chose it). So there's still a little color here and there .

Dee Dee, I would keep that collection in my front room, and invite Jehovah's Witnesses or heck any salesperson in...
They would run for the hills, and I would be labeled the Pony House Man, and children would fear me... o_O
I deserve an award! I left CR speechless! .
Hahaha, well, I've HAD my collection in the livingroom and people indeed started to eye me suspiciously, putting stamps on me... (ADD, abused childhood, depressed etc.). Back then that bothered me, now-a-days I couldn't care less. If someone cannot appreciate someone else's silly quirks, well... I don't need them in my life . However, as I spend most of my time either at the computer or on the attic and seeing all that colour makes me happy and inspired, I wanted my collection to be in one of those places .
But... a few weeks ago *blushes* there was an article about me and my MLP's in a very well known magazine in the NL called "VIVA". (though it was exaggerated *giggles*.. it said I moved for my My Little Pony collection.. uuuhuuuh..suuure!) - including 2 pictures. ->here's one of 'm;
I felt quite awkward lying in the grass, in plain sight of the whole town. Luckily not many people knew me there anyway as I'm quite the "lone wolf" as they say. And shortly after I moved to another city
