MultiTheftAuto Development Continues

Posted by michael on Saturday September 4, 2004 @08:02AM from the run-and-gun dept.

MultiTheftAuto Team writes "Today, MultiTheftAuto have released the first information about their new core technology that will be deployed in future versions of MultiTheftAuto. The new core technology, codenamed 'blue', offers many of the features that have been requested by the software's users over the last year and a half, these include: Support for boats, support for firing from vehicles, support for drive-bys, and support for planes. As well as supporting all these features, the new core will introduce a revolutionary new way of writing modifications for Vice City, combining the existing methods with a fully integrated C++ add-on system, giving anyone who wishes to the ability to create complex and exciting mods, far beyond the possibilities of 'traditional' methods."

But 7 of the developers have been shot and killed, 4 more are in the hospital recovering, 12 are in jail, and 3 are missing.

MTA uses the ASE protocol, so The All Seeing Eye supports it just fine. Much better than GameSpy anyway (imho).
Dammit - I didn't know this was for a game! by spineboy · 2004-09-04 08:53 · Score: 5, Funny

I started reading this thinking it was some sort of car anti-theft system, like Lo-Jack. When I got to the part about supporting firing from cars, I was kinda like uhhh, cool!? This is some kind of anti car-jacking device too. When I got to the part about "supports drive by shootings" I started thinking "All right, this manufacturer has gone a little overboard, and is gonna get sued or something"

And then reality kicked in.....Phew!
