There’s no better feeling than setting yourself a project
and actually finding yourself dedicated to it and fulfilling it. In the past I’ve
tried making mods and things for games I enjoy and usually it doesn’t progress
anywhere. However, lately I’ve been having a lot of success with GTA Online’s
Content Creator. I started out making a couple of fun races and deathmatches,
and before too long I found myself building up quite the collection. I wasn’t
getting that many plays due to not having a big subscriber base on YouTube or
anything I could utilise to get people to play them and vote them up, but
nonetheless I was enjoying myself, while still hoping I could get lucky and
have one (or more!) of my Jobs selected to be Rockstar Verified. I made an
earlier blog post (which I’ve now taken down since there’s no need for it
anymore) where I posted some of my design notes on my maps in the hope that
would draw some attention, to no avail. As I kept making more and more content,
I jokingly said to myself “Hey, I could probably have a world map purely filled
with my own custom Jobs!” But then I thought about it for a second and it didn’t
sound like that bad an idea. So I set out to match Rockstar’s output of 105
races and 71 deathmatches (I only counted Rockstar-made Jobs, not Rockstar
Verified ones, and didn’t include things like Vehicle Deathmatches or Last Team
Standing matches because you can’t make them in the Creator as of yet).
