One of the most critical assumptions I personally have relied on in my administrating the business affairs of Missing Worlds Media is that anything can be a source of nourishment for the mind’s desire to play. There are many reasons for this, but most of them ultimately boil down to the odd quality that is joy. Social and cultural cues may vary, but the basic emotional content of certain gestures are a constant – laughter and happiness sounds the same in any language.

We’ve finished a very, very big step forward for City of Titans.
We made our first packaged executable that we can call ‘the game’. We’ve done them before for demos, we’ve made beat-em-ups, but we didn’t have a structured login-auth-lobby-game process running.

What you’re going to see is the recorded video of the first packaged build of the game. The User Interface isn’t finished, but it’s a functional first pass - all the buttons work.

In the past few months, we’ve had the chance to explore some of the amazing work the Tech team has put into physically building Titan City. I wanted to add onto that and give everyone a glimpse into the way we built the concept for Titan City and its diverse areas through words. Some games let players down when it comes to the setting -- it’s partly my job to make sure that doesn’t happen to you guys!

This is going to be an important one, folks, you’ll want to read all of it.

But first, watch this video.

Something unexpected happened the other week, folks. You see, we’ve been working pretty hard on this project for a long time, building all kinds of prototypes. And we didn’t think they were ready for public view.

When we last saw our intrepid heroes, they were having problems of their world maps looking like swiss cheese – full of holes thanks to inconsiderate objects in the real world blocking the terrain scanning equipment used by our government. While manually plugging every hole was an option, it was a slow, and arduous task. Like Sisyphus rolling the boulder up the hill, for every hole we patched this way, it felt like we found two more to handle. We needed a better solution.
