History

May 2010

Proposed the Jailbreak idea to Pyro on GTAMP Forums on 29th.

June 2010

Thought about it, wrote brainstorms and did a sequence pencil sketches during Le Mans 24 Hours. Created the forum topic for Jailbreak on 13th. Created a development folder and jail.gmp the same day, renaming it jailbreak.gmp a couple of days later.

Pyro helped with scripting, playtesting, review, bug hunting, ideas and writing progress in the topic. Made files available on this page and linked to from the forum topic.

July 2010

Outer areas start to take shape. Pyro develops first chapter script which we test and refine iteratively.

Freeway route, reservoir, dam cable-stayed bridge and diner area. Elvis stage complete. Pyro starts hydroelectric power station.

August 2010

Pyro’s first version of Diner. North-West station matures, Redneck road starts going West. Hydro refined.

Level 6 wanted level enabled soon after Vike fixed the way tank roadblocks work in GTA2 multiplayer.

September 2010

Planning meeting with Pyro. Detail work for all areas, Army Armoury in particular. Insane Stunt Bonus areas refined and a couple more added. Route of main river drafted. More screenshots. Aerial photo included as preview image.

Pyro set up railway route. I made hundreds of terrain changes and merged the versions.
