Life, and living it

Little things always make a difference, in life and in-game.

In our search for the scenes that give KTDARPG the scents & sights & sounds of real-world, we've discovered that it's the small things that make the difference...just as it was in "The Tribe" on tv.

A good recent example is the traders market at Tango Lake. Hey, it's not teenagers at the mall, but it's the nearest these characters can get. Food, clothes, jewelry, perfumes, candles, weapons, household goods--pickpockets, pets, friends meeting up--it works.

Sure, we've had shopping scenes throughout the game since it began; but maybe you have to be here a while and actually "live" your character to realize what it is these scenes do.

What do they do? Create the illusion of normalcy in a crazy, upside-down world. Make you half-believe that maybe things will be ok...even when you know they can't possibly.

Hey, that's why we call it a game. --Chyna
