Feel free to discuss today's Technical Update here!
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, technically, don't want to admit that I understood it all.
Be Well!

*Looks in from playing the Ascendant game* Hmm what? So when can we play the caper game?

Warcabbit, next time you talk to Saul tell him he owes me for a new monitor and keyboard... And a new brain this one is broke.

Normally I'd laugh, but not when we're still waiting to see what you've been working on, as you said you might in update #73.
Quit with the jokes and show us some actual work, please.
LOL, nice work guys! Maybe if the mini-games suggested in another thread ever make it into the game, this will be one!
Spurn all ye kindle.
Thank you for the simplistic fun jaunt through memory lane! And the humor of it all, just what is needed for a few moments. I miss protecting PC and *-ahem-* using extreme force to "arrest" those villains!

Who says we haven't?
While the Saul Rubenstein bit is a joke, it is only part of a video which is all made within UE4.
Here's a picture to better illustrate what may have been overlooked:

Wait, that wasn't just a part of some UE4 video logo? Is that a sewer mission in Titan City?!?!?!?!?!????

That would really be an April fools Joke. Slip real game images in a video of a fake game. *Goes and looks again*

Wow nice April Fool's day joke. For a minute I thought this was a serious post! Took me a second to realize how silly that is. Good one, fella.

I know you guys have been working, and that considering the early stages you are still in (especially given the time setback UE4 gave you) there is probably very little to show, at least in terms of stuff we would be excited about. I am content to wait patiently.
But I do have to call you out Doc: that tunnel picture is the same one depicted at 0:45 in the Infiltrator demo ;)

Is it just me or did the intro from that video remind anyone else of the transition scene from MST3K, as seen in the first few seconds of this clip:

*doh* uploaded the wrong one. Good catch.
We did repurpose assets for our needs, of course.
Full disclosure, it is a sneak shot of our tech demo level, which is using stock pieces while the art team work. As we have a license to stock assets from Epic and elsewhere, however, many will likely continue into the final product.
One disadvantage of our design is that in being so modular, it means there is little to show aside from individual pieces (wall segments, forearms, etc) until fairly late in development. I can't show off a player model, for instance, because we simply don't have the full catalog of pieces for it ready to show yet.
But the advantage you can see in the comparison between the first and second picture. For example, notice the lettering on the lefthand side. It is the exact same texture, but we can adjust its color to suit our needs between the two.
*edit* you realise this means you got a peak into the next update, right?

Remember, however, that despite the admittedly confusing similarity in names, the Safety Briefing and the Safety Dance should never be combined.

Mostly because the Safety Briefing is done in a room with a table and chairs and a portable screen getting in the way of a proper Safety Dance ^_^.

I'll hold out for Safety Last. I want to rescue civilians hanging from a giant clock hand above Titan City.

Does that mean "health second?"

And if not, I'mma come up with SOME reason to have them in the sewers!

Wasn't a joke. I -despise- April Fools nonsense.

Kudos to you guys for the April fools joke! I thought it was hilarious! Don't listen to those fuddy-duddies that wanna give you a hard time because you chose the one day of a year for just such a thing to actually take things a little lightly. I've seen plenty of stuff so far that shows me that you guys are working hard to make this game shine brighter than its predecessor. So what if you took one day to have a little fun. Though developing and making a game is a wonderful thing, I think that it could get kinda Tedious. Have fun when you can is all I gotta say.
...
Hey, what do you mean??!!! We cant have a cape with a giant hand on it?!! That would be hilarious! And I wonder how many people would actually get the joke. We'll need a Hand of Fate TF that unlocks the cape on completion.
Personally, I'd be delighted to see "Dr Forrester" move to CoT from Grandville. He certainly wasn't NCSoft property, after all.

I can just see it now...

I haven't unlocked the Pewma Running Shoes costume part yet. Can we try for both?
also.. why not have a streak of flames trail for SuperSpeed instead of just a default light streak? :(

LOL I haven't a clue wth you all are talking about. I've been around a while, and sure, I don't get _every_ obscure pop-culture "in-joke", but this is way over my head. You guys are a riot.
By the way, anyone see that Blizzard did the same 4/1 (1/4 for some) joke for Diablo III? Let me find a link...
Here it is, with a working browser game even.
Yeah.... you have to be a certain kind of OLD to remember Mystery Science Theater 3000 these days.
R.S.O. of Phoenix Rising
Oh sure, we release Clicky Cape and now Blizzard is copying us! Just typical!

Apparently, RetroTV is picking up MST3K in syndication soon. I saw an add for it the other day . According to their web site, [i]Mystery Science Theater 3000 will make its Retro TV debut in the “not-too-distant future”: Saturday, July 5th, 2014[/i]. http://www.myretrotv.com/news.html

FYI, vindicate, the entire "Pumaman" episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 can be found here (I have no idea who uploaded it or whether or not they ever had permission to do so, I take no responsibility if any or part of it is not legal for YouTube, that said, it's been up for like 2 years now....)

Thanks, I'll give it a look!
btw there's no "n" in my handle, I get that all the time, no worries. The weird coincidence is people accidentally add that letter to my real life name too, which changes the intended gender.
