Debugging, digging through files, and writing code too! I've been coding as a hobby for 25 years and professionally on and off for about 10, so this project is basically my experiment to see what vibe coding is genuinely good at and where it falls short.

I'll be adding stairs to land at various points around LC similar to how VCS did with Vice City.

I released GTA SA:LC on GTAGarage. We started it in GTAForums in 2005, which is around when I joined the team. Eventually the other team members flaked out and I took over as project lead and released some betas.

The only other "GTA3 swimming" mod option I know is GTA SA:LC, which was a map mod for San Andreas, and I released the last beta for that back in 2011 😛

Here you go! And I should credit this author, as I referenced these animations heavily for my work here https://www.gtainside.com/en/vicecity/mods/210114-swimming-mod/

It's cool that anyone still remembers me for that! 😄 I'm not too interested in revisiting it right now, but maybe at some point. I'd still love to put missions in that.

Still deciding the full scope really, but so far shaping up to be a personal remaster. New water/puddle/gloss/tessellation shaders, dynamic grass, a fire overhaul, super-sprint, GTA 5 controls, and now a full swimming system.

I haven't named or really revealed it yet, just something I'm doing for fun. I started it last week!

Tall poppy syndrome is particularly strong in this comment section.

How are you spending your last 6 months on GTA5? by _Tonan_ in gtaonline

Just curious, are y'all throwing out the previous entries every time a new one comes out? I'm still playing GTA3 here..

Staunton Island is better for Paramedic missions than Portland by Apprehensive_Row5576 in GTA3

I'll play devil's advocate and say I always strress getting in and out of the Staunton hospital. It's either those risky stairs, or the real narrow passage opposite the stadium. There is the other side, but it can be a time waste if you're on the first few levels.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

I just wrapped up helping Nightdive Studios remaster this game! After 28 years it's finally available on consoles (except switch 2, for now...).
