Last Monday (28), the popular franchise”grand theft auto“I celebrated 25 years since its release. But few people know that before it became a successful video game series, the initial project of ‘GTA’ went through several changes until its final conception. Initially, the game characters were thought of as… dinosaurs🇧🇷
The information comes from developer Colin Macdonald, who joined DMA Desing – currently called Rockstar North – and gave an interview to the BBC talking about the issues the game encountered during its early development. According to him, the professionals involved in the first game of the franchise did not trust the final outcome.

GTA has gone through many different iterations development “He was a huge problem, and he wasn’t well-respected most of the time he was in production,” said MacDonald.
The developer said that during the game’s development, there was research as to which of the seven games the team was working on would be the “most successful” and “least successful” title. “GTA” won the vote for the game with the least chance of success.
“That’s because halfway through development, the direction of the game was unclear. It was also quite buggy — you couldn’t play for more than a few minutes without crashing, so you definitely didn’t have a lot of confidence in it yet,” he said. .
The developer also revealed that the franchise was created from a “technological experiment” by programmer Mike Daily to view 3D buildings from top to bottom, and with this project, a dinosaur game was created.
“One of the original DMA programmers, Mike Dailey, was basically experimenting with the technology as a way to show what buildings could look like in 3D from top to bottom with a little bit of perspective,” McDonald said. “So he basically created a dinosaur game. You had this city that moved around in some form of 3D, but you were a dinosaur walking around destroying buildings. That’s how Grand Theft Auto began.”
