About GTASnP.com

Around February 2004, GTAForums veteran Demarest began offering to complete missions in the PC versions of GTA III and Vice City for users that were struggling to finish them themselves. This service was called Save N Play, and quickly became popular with not only people seeking help, but also people willing to help as well. I began helping as well, and after witnessing many requesters and helpers struggle with getting their saves uploaded onto free hosts, such as RapidShare and YouSendIt, I decided to attempt to make a file hosting site specifically for the purpose of hosting these GTA save files. And so this service was launched in 2005 (original post). Over fifteen years later, the site is still being used by Save N Play and Chain Game participants.

About Samutz

I am a web developer and systems administrator for a small school district. In my spare time I am a video game enthusiast and still a web developer. I like to take on programming projects that pique my interest for fun and sometimes profit. I joined GTAForums in 2003 after taking an interest in modding Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City.

My Other Work

My work for my job is mostly internal-use only and not available to the public, but here are other things I have worked on.

• GTAMods Wiki Contributions
• GTA: Liberty City · A total conversion for Vice City to port GTA III in to Vice City's engine. I ported the RC Bandit side-missions and provide hosting for the download files.
• Steve-Ö's "yea dude, I rock!" Tattoo for San Andreas · A simple texture mod for San Andreas to replace one of CJ's back tattoos with Steve-Ö's (of Jackass fame).
• Steam Workshop · Several Skyrim mods and a Move or Die mod.
• Nexus Mods · Fallout 4 mods.
• Bethesda.net: Skyrim & Fallout 4 · Mostly just consoles ports of my mods found on Steam Workshop and Nexus.
• Stardew Valley Wiki Contributions · I did a ton of data mining for the wiki and created a bunch of templates that are still in use.
