Character Bio 1: James R. Porkins

NAME: JAMES PORKINS
AGE: 25
OCCUPATION: TESCO DELIVERY DRIVER
HOBBIES: EATING, SLEEPING, DRIVING
HATES: BEING STUCK IN A DEAD-END JOB
FUN FACT: ABOUT TO GET A LOT MORE EXCITEMENT IN HIS LIFE

James is the unlikely protagonist of GTA:Sheffield. Raised in a singe parent household, he moved to Sheffield at 18 for a fresh start. However after 7 years working a minimum wage job at Tesco, all he has to look forward to are occasional trips back to his mother's house back in nearby Doncaster. He wishes for a more exciting life, one that doesn't involve driving between checkpoints delivering bread and eggs to elderly Yorkshiremen.

A chance encounter with £100,000 worth of coke, a severed head and a knife point mugging might just change everything... So long as he can avoid being arrested, killed, kidnapped, blown up, stabbed shot or run over...

Still alive

Hi there, it's been over a year since my last post, oh well! Thought i'd post now with a few new screens, bit of extra info etc.

The first screen is the main character, James Porkins waking up ready for another hard day working at Tesco.

The second is Porkins squaring up to the main enemy in the game, and the final screen is a shot of the last mission of part one. The last mission is all done now, but there's a lot of artwork to be done before realease!

Death from above!

Sup! Working on a few mission ideas now the map is done. Here's a screenshot to whet the appitite of any COD/general military fans!

Take to the skies in an AC-130 gunship and reign death to all who stand in your way! This is just one of the many vehicles that will be available in the final release, but is probably the most fun! With a 40mm cannon and 105mm Howitzer artillery launcher, the Spectre is one hell of a plane, and it's your job to be both pilot AND gunner, and take down RPG nests, armoured trucks and more! (Also Tesco!) Keep checking here for more updates, screens, mission info and more! Joe out!

Map Complete!

Quick post just to say that the whole map for GTA: Sheffield is now finished. Take a look at the above screenshot! It's pretty big, and hopefully won't lag... Too much... It's not really recognisable as Sheffield, there's alot of artistic licence, but it's varied enough to be interesting (IMO).

Just missions to add now. Oh and sound. And the videos etc. And testing. And added details ie. road markings and streetlights etc. But apart from that lot... Nearly done!

Welcome!

'Sup!

This is the first post to this blog, and is pretty pointless, 'cos I don't expect anyone to read it... yet. Anyway this is where you'll find news, screenshots and (hopefully positive) reviews on any games I, JoeKangaroo Productions, erm... produce.

Right now, I'm working on the long awaited (believe it or not) sequel to the horrifically slated "GTA: Doncaster" released back in 2005-ish.

The original was awful, as you can see from the attached screenshot, but hopefully the sequel won't be. I've improved (I hope) since then, and hopefully that will be apparent from the screens too!

Thats it for now anyway! Hopefully this blog will get more publicity once the game is released, and then I won't be wasting my time!

Later,

Joe
