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.

Character "Family Tree"

It would be nice to see a place where the character's family, friends, and/or dependents - even another player's character - could be listed. could be included. A kind of family tree, although the term doesn't truly apply. Ideally they could each get their own little picture and biography.

Superman, for example, would list Lois Lane, Jimmy Olson, Perry White, Lana Lang, etc.

Perhaps this could later be expanded to a system allowing these NPCs to provide missions (they were in the right place at the right time to hear about something) or be part of them (kidnapping, part of a group of hostages, etc.).

Sounds like a great idea, Darth_Fez. Maybe someone can set-up a site like www.virtueverse.com, where people can post character backstories and list the family and friends of their character(s) (ala the old "Who's Who in DC Comics" from the 1980s!).

I believe that he was referring to something in game to show this, that goes beyond the normal biographies that can be written.

Verily.

There's an example here from the SWTOR family tree system. It's nice enough for what it is, I suppose, though I feel it's made quite odd since you can only add your characters to this family tree. It'd provide any given player with an overview of the important people in their character's life (perhaps with the ability to share it with others). On a wiki one can go into much greater detail, for obvious reasons.

This could be a nice pool for gathering storyline data too. For example, some dear associates of my character may find themselves in dire straits and my character has to come to their rescue or something. A nice way to include our own character backgrounds into the game in a semi-generic way... Just a thought...

I liked that SWTOR had a family tree. But I hate that its rather useless. Be nice to have been able to have it visible to others. And also would have been nice if someone along the line I would see those characters. If I had two that were related but on opposing sides, then it would have been great to run into a mission and end up having to fight that relative. Or if one toon was under contract with one then it would have been great to be able to end up going on a mission that the other toon gives you since you are under contract with them. So I would love to see a family tree of sorts. But as long as it has some kind of purpose though. .

I can see that this would not

I can see that this would not really be a launch option, but I do like the idea of if not a family tree, then a list of important people to the hero/villain. (Yes, even villains have people they care about....sometimes) And thus having a way to personalize missions a bit more. i.e. Instead of rescuing random kidnap victim, you would be rescuing someone who is actually important to you.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are small, crunchy, and taste good with ketchup.

What exactly would a family

What exactly would a family tree do beyond what you could simply write out in your character's bio, and that needs in-game support?

Has anyone seen my mind? It was right here...
