Terrain
Many of the objects in CTD are based on similar objects which are found in real life, such as stop signs, road cones, streets, and dumpsters, so a detailed explanation isn't necessary. However, to get a basic idea of the environment, imagine some of the more common items that can be found in and around a construction site. One of the standard landmarks seen throughout the game is an ordinary building. Most of the buildings stand only one story tall, though some buildings may span two or more stories. Also, some of the buildings may be equipped with scaffolds, catwalks, or balconies. Balconies will likely feature some kind of colored stripe pattern.
Game play elements
Players are short, stumpy, and comical looking. The limbs are not proportional to a standard human and the facial expressions are exaggerated. In game objects such as cones and stop signs will look like cartoony versions of the real thing but will otherwise remain proportional. The dumpster will look as true to life as possible since it is such an important game element.
