With #GTA6 nearing launch, it's worth remembering where it all started. This first image spawned the first prototype, which in turn helped spawn the second. And the rest as they say.... is history. You can see a printout of this image, just over my shoulder. This picture was taken while making the prototypes, sometime in 1994. #GTA @gtacommunitysol solana:2wMTr4ZttVr5tmS4wLStee59wi8f9QQfMtT2Hoispump

Tiny Fishing Villages Crowdfunder has now finished. We didn’t hit the £5,000 target, so match funding didn’t activate - but we still raised £310, and I’m grateful for every bit of support. Thank you to everyone who pledged. Onwards to the next update. #indiegame #cosygame

Found this in my archives. It's the source of the "dino.exe" name that #GTA1 inherited (via it's DINO.BAT). It was listed as "Darrens Dino Game". Unless this was Attack! I have no idea what this game concept was. This would have been the demo that I drew the Isometric picture for, and the code framework would then be used for the first #GTA Prototype @gtacommunitysol $GTA

Our yearly DMA Design meal was, once again…. Lovely. We’ve been so lucky having such an amazing group of people to have worked with, and who helped create games that have truly changed the world. 😎 (Photo from David Patterson - aka, Mattrx Man)
