The image I created that eventually spawned #GTA
I drew this to create an isometric rendering engine, it then evolved that into a rotating isometric engine, then I built the "Top Down Perspective Engine" that went on to become GTA1

- Replying to @shahidkamalWhen I bought my iPhone 6+, I knew it would be my last iPhone.... they are too expensive, I'm fed up with the memory limits, and I like my headphone jack. The current price is just beyond ridiculous... I'll keep my iPad.... but next phone will be Android I suspect. ๐ข
- Replying to @Jacob_Rees_MoggEven on strike, they'll do more work than you....
- I see Rockstar are going full fuckers mode again, issuing copyright strikes to any GTA video they can find - including both my prototype videos. So now they're trying to block all release of anyone's work on a game - and any old development footage.
- Hang on... why have we not heard about investigations into this?!?! ยฃ3.6 MILLION missing from the Tory election fund, yet they keep going on about the SNP investigation. Has the @metpoliceuk got a case on going with the Tories?
- Why was he not arrested? Why were there no Blue tents? Hundreds of millions of public money stolen. And nothing....
- Part of a Birthday present from @denkicolin and his lovely wife, while we were on holiday at Disney with them.๐ #GTA #Lemmings #grandtheftauto #DMADesign #DMA #retro #psygnosis
- Took the plunge.... I'm always saying they're the best for Scotland just now, with no one else even close. So time to put my money where my mouth is, and invest in Scotland's Future. I just joined the @theSNP. Join me!
- Replying to @RishiSunakIt is not illegal to arrive in a boat. It never has been. To seek asylum, you arrive however you can, present yourself, and claim asylum at first opportunity. What you need is safe routes from France. Quit targeting the victims after they've struggled to get here.
- "A government source says it is looking "to take control"' of the company," Wait.... take control of "a private company", but @AnasSarwar said there was nothing they could do at Grangemouth because it was "a private company", was he....... lying?!?!?๐
- Grangemouth apparently was still making ยฃ100m a year - clearly not enough for it's owner. But that's more than enough to nationalise it, and for it to make money for Scotland.
- Hang on.... just one complaint sparked a 2 year investigation? Why are the billions lost in the COVID funds not being investigated by the police? No accountability for the ยฃ37bn Test and Trace over ยฃ52Bn in possible fraud or corruption - and nothing?
- For those asking - yes, I've now removed all GTA dev stuff. Only direct examples of my own work are left - work that was never used in GTA, but "inspired" parts of it's evolution. You can thank Rocksuck.
- It is AMAZING, how threatened unionists are if you simply say you've joined @theSNP. Honestly...their fear is staggering. You'd think if they felt "safe" they'd just shrug and not care. But so many go out of their way to attempt to mock or insult you. They really are scared.
