According to Gary Penn of DMA Design to Gamasutra, the first chapter of Grand Theft Auto has long been on the verge of cancellation. "The first GTA was a disaster for years, never went forward, not progressed. The publisher of the time, BMG Interactive, was seriously determined to cancel the project." Among the problems of stability refers to the Penn game, "a frustrating problem, the game crashes all the time.
Then there was the problem of the car, the control system of the cars was terrible. The heart of the game was basically useless." Then, suddenly, the lighting. Almost by accident. "One day, I think it was a bug, the police began to become mad and aggressive. Probably the pathfinding AI was not working properly, but eventually we realized that that element was suitable for the region." Launched in 1997 on PC, Grand Theft Auto gained considerable commercial success.
In 1999, DMA Design was acquired by Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar became North. Penn, however, is currently working at the Denki, a company that develops social game.
