Involved with numerous projects at MicroProse, EA, and Hasbro Interactive, Senior Producer Kevin Buckner's current project, Otherland, takes reality as the starting point as players enter an intentionally virtual world. Buckner gives us the elevator description of the bestselling Tad Williams saga that serves as the underpinning of the game, before describing two of the game's worlds, Lambda Mall and Mars, in depth.
