Out of the contenders.. this is the only one that has not only made a public checklist of goals, but has met each and every one! They are a spiritual successor in many ways as they all use to be avid players. I'm excited for City of Titans... but as far as I've searched the depths of the net.. there has been no 'real' public update or announcement since IGN back in 2014... There is a certain significance in holding things close to the vest...not showing too much so that people will 'flock' to you out of pure exhilaration of shock and awe and 'finally'! But, there is also a mainstream of followers.
Outside of the public announcements and updates. I love that they have an open donation line for people to get in escorted alpha tests.. to play with the creators and give them HARD, BRUTAL, REAL feedback of the experiences. The alpha isn't live yet but is coming up. I hope to save enough to donate in and get an invite. They explain everything rather well in their forums.. so I won't spend much more time on it...
The main thing that the CEO stated that makes me excited to play is that.. at launch... they aren't gearing to people with fancy gaming rigs. They are intending to head that direction but for people like myself with a on par Laptop.. and okay connection.. this is beautiful news!
The CEO explains his reason in an interview on youtube with PositiveGamer over a Skype. I recommend watching
