Chapter 23

The most interesting aspect of Chapter 23, at least for me, was reading how the designers created Diamondback to resemble a real town. Unlike 3D animation, users are presented with more believable character sb/c real people are synthesized with fictional characters through DreamFactory. I like how Garrand describes that the authors created personal histories for each of the characters in order for them to seem more authentic. It was also a cool thought that the characters were moving about Diamondback in real time, even if the user was not interacting with them.
