We are currently working on this. Keep an eye on our Social Media and keep it tuned to K-TAM. When we release the app we’ll announce it.
Do I need to have experience to help/work with K-TAM Radio?
No, the idea of K-TAM is to be for community by community. This means everyone who is a part of K-TAM was at one time a fan and community member. We want to reprsent the people who listen and love what we do. Some will sound more polished than others, that’s ok. We’ll help with tips, suggestions and ideas. It’s a collaborative effort.
Why is K-TAM Radio "In Character"
Gaming is an escape from the mundane everyday world. It’s how we relax and decompress. We want to immerse ourselves in the entertainment we consume. Hearing songs and commercials that reflect the games we play helps make these experiences even better. It can also inspire ideas and for some, it helps them through tough times. It fosters a greater sense of community.
Do developers like what you do?
Frankly we don’t care if they do or not. We don’t do this for them, it’s for those who play their games. That being said, in our experience developers love what we do, even if they can’t officially support us, we often get told they appreciate the effort we make to create content that helps make their worlds feel more alive and in some cases, we’ve been able to flesh out in game events and story lines in a way that makes more sense or fills in gaps, even if they are “educated guesses” because they never help us out with suggestions or copies from their lore bibles 😉
If K-TAM is always "In Character" how can you also "exist" in all these games?
Check out our Core Lore. It’s our original story line that is the back bone of the K-TAM Radio lore and in it how we have created a means from which we can broadcast into and from other game Universes. (We did it before the MCU). Depending on where we are in our release of that story material it may be explained already, or you may need to wait until it is.
Who or what is Dmentia?
This is a bit of a long story, which is answered in our Core Lore, so go check that out. In short, Dmentia is the Station A.I. When no one is around, she is the one controlling the station, to the best of her ability. Her character is what it is, but really she’s all talk so don’t take her too seriously. She’s a fun way to interact with our community and is kind of like our Scotty, Data, Wesly Crusher, Doctor Who’s Sonic Screw Driver with more of a K-9 Clumbsyness.
Do you use other A.I. with K-TAM Radio?
Hell Yes! We use Grok extensively for images and helps with some content research and even lyrics for some of the songs and ads we produce. We use other A.I. for song generation and hopefully we’ll learn video A.I. as well so we can create some videos for our songs and Audio Dramas. It allows us to create more variety in our content.
Why should I donate?
Running an online radio station costs money. We are pretty upfront about the costs. Where possible we buy all our music if it’s not donated by the creators. We feel it’s important to support those creators for their works because it helps to encourage them to make more. Which means more content for us. We also pay for other services needed to broadcast from Internet connections, Relay Servers, website donamin and hosting, the various A.I. services we use for content assistance. We also pay for addons for website extentions we use and a lot more.
Donations help us cover those costs so that we can continue to provide the entertaining content that we do.
What do I get for Donating?
“Are you not entertained?” – Maximus. You get our appreciation and gratitude, as we are sure everyone else who listenes to and enjoys K-TAM radio like you do. That being said, we are working on some Membership perks for subscribers. If you subscribe on Twitch you will get the Twitch Bonuses and Subscriber bonuses on Discord. We are happy to hear any suggestions you have. Discord is the most effective way to talk with us.
