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.

CIVILIAN Grappling Hook Movement (!)

[youtube]Y45wj0-lgjg[/youtube]

In case anyone on staff (in the Powers team) wanted to have some stats for REAL WORLD grappling hooks used by people who need to climb 10 story buildings in 30 seconds ... people like, say ... TCFD ... or line workers for the electrical power company ... because Kyle Hill is really good at providing the kind of math that we'd want to use in a "properly" programmed UE4 game core for handling this kind of thing.

And if civilians can get their hands on this kind of "utility" level movement tech, you'd better believe that both heroes and villains ought to be able to get their hands on it(!). After that, it's just a matter of investing Augment/Refinement slots into improving the performance characteristics to make grappling hook movement modes "cooler" and more "super" looking than what your regular civilian would be doing with this stuff.

Thanks. We already have a

Thanks. We already have a grappling hook kit when we are already to dig into it this may provide some basic parameters. But it is far less about what “real world math” saysnis feasible and more about what feels right to play, what we want to do with it, and of course how it works along side of and with the use of, other movement powers.

Also, movement powers to have Aigment sockets and don’t use Refinements either. They have their own method of progression and improvement.

Gotta agree with the mod here

Gotta agree with the mod here, I don't see any reason to worry about real-world physics in a game about superheroes that can fly under their own power & shoot lasers out of their eyes just because it looks cool.

yeah, this should be in the because science thread not the suggestion forum. This isn't really a sci fi game, and while I love this show, his videos don't really apply here.

I just want one of the aesthetics for grappling hook movement to be similar to the ODM gear from Attack on Titan...
