Few know this, but Trust the Crust originally started out as a GTA 4 mod. Way back around 2013, I was friends with a few guys from the GTA mod community and they were working on a total conversion mod that took place in a small town [I](because a small town is easier to make than a huge city)[/I] and because I was the only American in the group, I was tasked to get references on how shit would look, do textures, and write a plot. Writing a plot for it was a bit hard because what crime is there in small town America? You didn't have any gangs or thugs, but you did have dropouts who spent all their time playing video games as well as small time dope dealers. So what did I do? I wrote a protagonist who was a video game addict who, thanks to their friend who's a VERY BUSY small time dope dealer who needs a lot of favors done, finally gets a chance to act out what they see in the video games they play, and this character essentially became an early version of Lis. Sadly, the guys I was working on the mod with didn't like it because they didn't like the idea of a female protagonist. So I said "lol no" and a buddy of mine who used to do source stuff told me to give it a try making a similar story in source. I thought I could do it until I found that making a GTA-esque game in source just cannot work so I ditched the idea of making it into a game and, after a few years of picking at scripts and stuff, Trust the Crust came to be. And what better way of not only remembering your roots than referencing it in what I'm doing now? No retellings of stuff I saw delivering pizzas or aesops on what not to do when you order pizzas, just a break to do something silly.
TL;dr Trust the Crust used to be GTA mod. Also I made a couple more while I was waiting for the car models to be finished for this so I dunno it's time for a megathread in the future or what.

That was really great! The [sp]transition to the GTA 3 hud[/sp] was really well done.
