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.

One Shot: Making it 'Real'

Take a close look at these pictures and tell us what you see.

You might be thinking 'those are pictures of dumpsters', and you are correct. That's what they are, but what you might not have noticed is that they look 'normal'. They're slightly off center and not lined up properly; just like they would be in real life. While working with Dungeon Architect, a Unreal 4 plugin tool used for creating random indoor maps, Environmental artist Zack "ShadowElusive" Singer realized that it could be used on a much wider scale. By adding a fairly standard bit of custom logic (a programming rule used by the plugin), he was able to add a controlled amount of randomness to exterior maps as well. What this all means is that Titan City will feel more 'real' without having to build and place objects individually.

These pictures have all been taken from inside a build/test environment, so they lack some of the finishing touches, but thanks to Zack for taking the time to share the work he has been doing.

I was expecting a real BIG

I was expecting a real BIG update... but it's a good news to know about the Environmental Automatism.

Trash cans are never put back

Trash cans are never put back exactly where they were. ^_^

It's good to see you are keeping an eye on the little pictures, as well as the Big Picture.

I see something I have to

I see something I have to destroy to get more time on this Mayhem Mission. (Speaking of which, will CoT have something similar to Mayhems?)

Seriously, though, this is a nice touch. I think it will be one of those things that almost subconsciously makes the world seem more real.

Spurn all ye kindle.

Fake !!! Those containers are

Fake !!! Those containers are not touching the ground ! That's not real ! :D

I'm joking, i like how they seem realistic and that's a good point to zack to have found this trick because, it means MWM could create new spaces more quickly than previously !
(like Ysangard, i expected a big tech news this week. it seems i didn't understand well what i read in an other post)

Can the misalignment be

Can the misalignment be corrected by OCD characters and players? Or made worse by villains? It could even impact the character’s alignment. Straight-laced or crooked

Hhmm, environmental OCD

Hhmm, environmental OCD versus environmental Anarchy?

Nature already does this, so to make an artificial environment look "realistic" the game needs to mimic the same. Koodoos on discovering it.

I just had the thought of the environment changing to a disordered, dingy, greyscape as the character falls to evil :p

I read this as pen holders...and thought, that's an oddly practical shift.
