《City of Titans》团队在解决引擎升级后取得重大开发进展

The City of Titans team has hit a significant milestone in their engine upgrade efforts, and this opens up the path to more development progress. The latest development update for Q3 is here, with more on the Unreal Engine progress, a new feature announcement, and more to look forward to now that the big engine obstacle is in the past.

Specifically, they have managed to build the full project in Unreal Engine 5.8, and this makes a bunch of other things possible. In fact, it seems that development has been moving along pretty well recently. “We’re so close to our long-awaited major content update that we had hoped we could get it into your hands just in time for THAT to be your Q3 update,” the blog says, but it’s just not going to make it into October.

Still, now that they’ve got UE 5.8 handled, they have completed the new NPC AI, with more intelligent and engaged enemies and allies in the world, new movement modes, and keybinding has been added. The movement modes go beyond travel powers and impact everything about how characters move, from directionality to weight, momentum, and more. All of this will be ini the internal build soon for those with access to test out.

The team has also announced more features and things that they’re currently working on, with a first-time mention of pet summoning and controls, which means a Commander archetype is possible for 1.0. Other stuff in the works cover much of the important features of an MMORPG, with key elements for a superhero-themed MMO, like changes, refinements, and bug fixes for the costume creator. 

They’re also working on progression, both in development and improvements. The quest system is in the internal build and they’re focused on upgrading and improving that, which also gives the team better tools for mission design. The devs have successfully built out a number of Power Sets, which are in alpha, but more are coming and everything will get polished. And chat is coming. 

The evelopment update has some screenshots showing bits of all of this progress. After several slower development updates, it is nice to see the result of a breakthrough show up so quickly.
