GSD: What features are you most excited about?

Thomas: One of the most exciting features is our RGP (Real-Time Global Persistence). I am very interested in seeing how the game universe evolves over time based on what the characters do. Not just the PCs, but the NPCs as well. Although we will be creating the NPCs and setting up their initial parameters, they will act on their own and have just as much an impact on how the world changes as the players will.

The second most exciting feature is our Life-Link AI. Imagine a world that is populated by NPCs that act and react in an intelligent manner. NPCs that have real lives and agendas. You'll be able to hire them or be hired by them. They'll have memories of events that happen around them and you'll be able to talk to them and ask them questions. And each one will behave based on hundreds to thousands of parameters that will truly shape their personalities. When C3K goes gold, it will be an eerie experience walking around inside the game. You won't want to blink for fear of missing a single moment of what unfolds before you.
