In one of topics I have said something about being in game development team.

Now I can tell it to you officially:

First beta version of GTA2 clone
called Greedy Car Thieves
is RELEASED!


The public beta version is released and avaible to download here:
http://gct-game.net/
You are welcome to test it and say, what do you think about it :D


I was working in development team since early summer 2010. Project started in 2008.
The game is clone of GTA2, but it looks SO different. Now we have multiplayer only, but singleplayer will be.

The game has different, written specially for it, line protocol, which doesn't cause lags. Ping is very small and action very comfortable.

Multiplayer modes:
- 1 vs 1
- Free For All (deathmatch)
- Hunting
- Team Deathmatch
- Capture The Flag
- Bombmatch (work in progrees, disabled for now)
- Race (as BM)


Graphix:
- 3d cars, people and objects like plants, benches or street lamps
- day-night dynamic time cycle,
- dynamic weather
- lights with real-time shadows
- normal mapping, bloom, antialiasing
---- all these features in classic top-down GTA2 view

- impact effects like explosions, sparks, fire and water splashes are under development


Weapons
- blades
- 3 sorts of pistols
- 2 popular sorts of machine pistols
- shotgun, sawed-off
- M16 and AK-47
- flame thrower, bazooka, electrogun
- new nades: cluster nades, smoke nades, flash nades and Molotov coctails.
- additional power-ups (double damage, haste, invicibility)


Cars:
- Ferrari Testarossa
- Ford Mustang Boss
- Dodge Challenger 2010
- Fiat 126p
- Citroen 2CV
- Honda Civic
- Cadillac Eldorado
- Dodge Nitro
- Fiat Uno
- Chevrolet S10
- DeLorean
- Corvette
- Renault Megane
- Checker Marathon
- more and more (still under development ;) )

Sounds are temporary, we done some minimal group needed to call this version "official beta version".

Great! I tested it, and I think it`s great. Check my PM for details and reports ;)

BTW, as for music I can offer my versions of 'Short Change' by 'E-Z Rollers', I`m doing, since of DnB lover (nearly the whole tracks in GTA2 Trailer are from 'Drumfunk Hooliganz' album, while the GTA2 theme is 'Short Change'.

there is one matter - we need music with permission or without reserved rights. We are just students, and we are quite... broken, so we haven't any cash for buing licences.

If you have any free, good music, which would be good for radiostations or background music or trailer or something else, you are welcome to show me.

In dev' team I'm sound engineer, so it is mostly my affair.

OK, I think I haven't gotten through well enough: I will record new stuff FOR the game, and if you want to use anything from my Bandcamp site in my signature, it's free to use because you have my permission.

Ok ok, I understand ;)
For now I'm working on map design, so I haven't time for sound-work. When I'll be working on it, I'll think about your music, I promise. ;)

Thank's very much, I still work on it with my team collegues. :) I done majority of necessary sounds and now it sounds REALLY cool :)

We didn't finish multiplayer yet, but we already hardly think plans about singleplayer version ;)

I'm not sound engineer anymore, PD. Now there's a guy who knows what he should do. If he didn't changed (maybe yet) my sfx, so it seems they are good enough. They may be remastered in near future.
The game is developed by two small companies, so there's no place for "hobby help" anymore... I know, shame, but.... ya know.

The game will be released as commercial product this year. Propably, but I don't promise.
