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.

Discuss: the Patchwork Profile

Here it is at last. After this we finally take up the new update schedule properly (it was supposed to start December but the Holidays and Devmas did that in pretty thoroughly - for the best we'd all agree I'm sure). A reminder of what that is: from now on, updates are bi-weekly. First and third Wednesday of the month. And now, what do you think of Patchwork?

I'm probably going to be such a Patchwork fanboy. And by probably I mean almost certainly.

I do have to wonder if she has a lot to lose as her civilian persona, hence fighting so vehemently to avoid capture. Perhaps the whole Patchwork persona is her way of living out another side of herself that she cannot afford to show in her "secret identity". Then again, a criminal not wishing to be captured is scarcely unusual.

Last but not least, I'm also curious if CapeChasers will become a real website / lexicon / wiki.

With the list of her

With the list of her abilities and the talk about them being magical, I almost have to wonder if there's even a live person under the suit. I'm actually leaning towards the cloth having been woven together magically and it took on it's own persona. Would explain how she glides, leaps farther than even an athletic person can, and takes little damage if any from blows. Needless to say, I'm interested to try and capture this one and learn her secrets for myself. ^-^

Be awesome if the "driving animus" behind Patchwork wasn't the "person" under the costume or even the "patches" of fabric, but instead was ... THE STITCHING. The "patchwork" of cloth is just there to give the stitching that holds the cloth together a coherent "form" to present.

Then again, I may be suffering from an overdose of Studio Trigger, Kill La Kill, and a paranoia about Life Fibers (which are really out to get me!).

Glad I was not the only one who thought of Ragman or Ragdoll who was my first one that came to mind. On that note is a batman like villain? I read it and all I can think of was someone who would have been locked away in Arkham Asylum at some point.

I like her, and these theories about the source of her powers.

Her powers and persona are in no way derivative, but as I was reading her description I immediately thought of "The Mahdoubt" from the final Thomas Covenant series.

With great power, comes the need for great heat sinks

Good point, and it makes me want to clarify to make sure what I said didn't come across different than I meant for it to. By reminiscent I meant "in the same vein as" in a good way, not derivative. I think almost everything in a Superhero MMORPG is going to be somewhat of an homage--at least if it's good.

There have been literally THOUSANDS of Superheroes since the early to mid 1900's depending on where you draw the line at "Superhero". The chance that anyone is going to come up with something that is totally new under the sun and never-been-done-before that is also good is close enough to nil that it just ain't gonna happen much.

Statesman, who I really liked as an iconic flagship, was sort of a Shazamtain America with a few nice twists--which I thought was awesome. My mains tend to be pastiche homages to types of heroes I tend to like.

Anyway, I'm digging all of the lore so far. I think it's spot on for tasteful twists on classic comic themes.

My thoughts were "it's a telepresence". I think there's a person using magic to control the "suit" from a distant location, who can see and hear what's going on around it. There's too much personality for it to simply be an automaton.

"Not an automaton" does not preclude "not a construct". There are several examples of constructs with personality in superheroic and other speculative lore.

I'm not understanding what you're saying.

My line of reasoning is:
1. Too much resilience/ability to be a person in a suit; so it's a construct of some sort.
2. Too much personality to be an automaton; so a person is giving it emotive reactions.
Therefore, Patchwork is a remotely controlled construct.

Of course, your point about this being comics is a good one. It's certainly possible that my assumptions 1 or 2 don't hold. We could have a Superman-type hero who's costume got Super-glued on. We could have clothing animated by the unrequited dreams of an insane fashion designer. Who knows? ( ;) ) Anyway, I've made my guess.

It's the assumption that a construct cannot be a person per se that I'm questioning. It goes against established in-game legal precedent. ^_^

Ah, got it. :doh:

I was using "person" in the colloquial sense of "human being", rather than the legal sense of "entity with legal rights".

Hmm, there could be an interesting legal defense: "I didn't rob the bank, my super-powered costume did". :D
