This is a personal project and I'm merely using this as a reference

This is a comprehensive list of story missions in the game Tool. There are 500 missions in total. Not all are required to complete the storyline of the game.

This is not a GTA fanfiction, it's simply a reference for an idea for a game with a GTA state of mind, like Red Dead Redemption.

Please be informed that this page is riddled with spoilers for a work of fiction that does not exist, yet...

South Yankton

A rough draft map of South Yankton, the setting of Tool, showing the 5 counties and their points of interest, as well as some of the roads. The starting point is directly above the "K" on the right. Obviously not set in stone, I now realize that New Gaspard should be much bigger than what is shown.

Tool takes place in the year 2091, around 50 years after a world-wide war renders the world in an anarchistic state. The state of South Yankton is based mostly on western South Dakota, with a bit of north Nebraska and east Wyoming making up the southern and western borderlands, respectively. Other influences include bits of California, Australia and the Middle-East.

Gavin Wright is a young man from the East coast of the USA. Born years after the fall of civilized life, Gavin grew up in a small New England community, where he quickly obtained a fascination and a hobby of fixing vehicles, starting with bicycles and moving up to gas-powered automobiles. Gavin competed in small local and long-distance races, living a content life, however the enticing lifestyle of the races held in South Yankton, the racing capital of North America, sent Gavin on a trek to the state in hopes of making a living out of his passion for racing.

Gavin, never a man of violence, enters the wasteland with a naive heart, however in time he gradually becomes desensitized after having no choice but to partake in the harsh realities of life in a lawless world.

The game is an homage to the biker culture, which grew in popularity in America in the 1960s and continued to the present. The setting is inspired by western South Dakota, a popular location for bike riders, largely due to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the Black Hills.

The game also takes influence and imagery from 50s car culture, as well as the cyberpunk, hacker and rivethead cultures.

Kubrick County missions

Kubrick County is the eastern-most territory of the explorable game, and makes up the eastern portion of the great plains. It is a region with yellow wheat fields and numerous hills and cliffs.

Protagonist Gavin Wright arrives in the midwestern state of South Yankton, and tries to gain access to the city of New Gaspard to compete in professional races. Missions in this county involve Gavin's attempt to assimilate in this foreign region and gain allies that can help him become better and more knowledgeable in vehicle racing and maintenance, along with several obstacles that threaten him and his chances of competing. Many of these missions have Gavin as the driver with additional help as required.

Kubrick County is the eastern section of the great plains. There are 32 missions in the main thread in Kubrick County.

Hostility (Izzy)
Access to Jayne County

Alright, for all the loyal fans out there, I will be working on this soon.

I'm stumped as to what to do here.

Some events to use:

These pertain to the Black Hills/Rumme County strand:

  • One government official is living in the Biodome, and the only way in is with the help of a hippy.
  • Jake's motive for getting the War Pigs MC as allies was to steal their supply of hoverbikes. Jake's friend Drew Brown (a New Gaspard official) gave Jake orders to find a way to steal the hoverbikes from the War Pigs MC. Luckily for Jake, Gavin happened to appear. The hoverbikes, which give enhanced mobility, are planned to be issued to the NGPF, for use in New Gaspard as well as the rest of South Yankton.
  • Lemmy, an IHMC member, is involved in an accident and gets medical help at the IHMC Black Hills lodge. Jake uses this to his advantage, and lies to Gavin, saying members of the WPMC had ambushed Lemmy. Jake suggests that Gavin help bring justice by stealing their supply of hoverbikes. Gavin says Jake is overreacting and this is probably just a misunderstanding, however agrees to go talk to Raul Gomez (WPMC president).
  • Gavin gets involved with a family living in the western-most portion of the hills: The Rickerman family, and has to deal with their rebellious teenage members. Reggie Rickerman, one of the teenagers, is a mission-giver, along with Barney Rickerman, his brother. And there's Nicole Rickerman, their sister.
  • Gavin steals a shipment of water from a truck that makes deliveries to New Gaspard. The city gets its water from the Bio-dome in the Black Hills, which is used for drinking, bathing, and most importantly the artificial rain. However Gavin's attacks on the water shipments eventually halts all water-shipping into the city until the culprits stealing the water are caught. This means that the city will get limited water supplies until Gavin is caught. The world is just so gray and gray.

And these pertain to the following strand (Jayne County):

  • Dalton is kidnapped by Jake and makes him bait for Gavin.
  • Several IHMC members join Jake, as he tells them that Gavin has forced him out of the club, and tells them that he (Jake) will relocate the "real" club to the town of Landon for the time being, and will plot to retake the clubhouse from Gavin.


Jayne County missions

Gavin's quest of bringing justice to South Yankton has taken an interesting turn, as Jake is revealed to have ties with several New Gaspard city officials. Gavin's acts of justice against the officials has antagonized Jake, leading him to abandon his position as IHMC leader and begin working for the few remaining officials out of paranoia. Gavin wakes up from injuries sustained out of Jake's betrayal in the care of a kind elderly woman and her granddaughter.

There are 10 story missions in Jayne County.

Reference Videos/Images

This section is for me to post images and videos that will let you understand how the game's setting will look like.

That son is a member of Jake's gang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAi2mTr2gsk

I found it difficult imagining what a skateboard slam/fall/crash might look like, so here's some videos for reference.

What

So apparently Rockstar San Diego made these games:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xQXHJbVsWdE#t=142

I had no idea these existed. Maybe this is a good sign that Tool should be a Rockstar game.

Thrashin'

So I just discovered this movie called Thrashin' (1986), it's a movie heavily featuring skateboarding. Here's a clip from the film, and it's featuring a song I had chosen for Acropolis Radio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoECn8asxdA

Biking in SD

Just a reference for bike-riding in South Dakota. Music is "Come Original" by 311! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu8FEEVXkMI

Ride to Hell: Retribution

So apparently... this game was made.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_to_Hell:_Retribution

Released this past June.

Today (14th of September) is the day I found out of its existence, and reading the info about it reveals that it was intended to be a "Grand Theft Auto-styled game set during the late 1960s". So essentially an open-world outlaw biker game. Wow, half of me is upset that it was incredibly lame. On the bright side, the other half of me is glad that I have a chance to make the first good open-world biker game. But yeah, just look at how incredibly lame it is, wasted potential...

Um

So yeah....

This is awkward.

NORTH YANKTON IS NORTH DAKOTA

So... this means that in the GTA universe, their version of South Dakota would be "South Yankton".

Yep.

This is either a really big coincidence, or.... Rockstar games just shoehorned that opening mission after discovering and reading this page. I mean, of all states, why North Dakota? And why would they call it "North YANKTON", of all names!?

This is interesting.

So

So I guess we can all agree that GTA V has one of the worst licensed soundtracks of the series (if not the worst).

Development

About Me

My name is Jesse. I'm an age 19 male from the United States of America, and the sole creator of Tool. I am currently not enrolled into any higher education program, although I was for the 2012-2013 fall/spring semesters, and let me just say that it felt like a huge waste of time. I plan on attending a university as soon as possible, and will pursue a major in computer animation (as well as a film studies minor).

Update: I am now enrolled in a university (the same one of last year), and I plan on transferring to a better university in the near future.

Tool Development

The idea for Tool came about in the winter (January) of 2011, stemming from an idea about making a game similar to Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, only having it set in a post-apocalyptic setting, and having the vehicle-building be very realistic and organic, as opposed to the gridlocked vehicle-building of BK.

The original idea for the game focused on a young man named Gavin Miller, who would go to a large post-apocalyptic-yet-civilized city far from home and compete in the glamourous races held there. The game was essentially a vehicle-building sim and racer. The idea was soon modified to include an open-world element to gameplay, which took inspiration from Red Dead Redemption's "open world wasteland on horseback" gameplay, and motorcycles were introduced as the player's main mode of transportation, as a contrast to the horses of RDR. Another motivator for this addition was the fact that despite the plethora of post-apocalyptic games, I had never seen one that let the player ride a motorcycle in an open-world setting. Gavin's surname was changed to Wright, and Miller was retconned as his mother's maiden name.

The setting of South Dakota was chosen solely on the idea of having an open-world game that let you visit and drive around Mt. Rushmore. I had no prior knowledge of South Dakota, and did not even know what state Mt. Rushmore was in. Over years of research, I eventually realized that South Dakota (or at least a world based on the state) was a perfect location for this type of game. Originally intended to be a scaled-down rendition of South Dakota, the game world was modified to be based mostly on South Dakota, in order to wipe out any sense of boredom that may come from playing in a game world that tried to accurately mimic the real world (yes I'm looking at you, LA Noire). The game world would see areas based on central South Dakota, the Badlands and the Black Hills, as well as areas taking inspiration from California, the Middle-East, and Australia.

Having never played a Grand Theft Auto game at the time of conception (my first exposure was of GTA IV in August, 2011), the style and tone of Tool was very different from its modern iteration, most of the details having been forgotten. Around December 2011, the style and tone of Tool was changed to match that of a Rockstar game, complete with guns, killing and drama, and my vision of Tool was also modified to include the Euphoria physics engine present in RDR and GTAIV-V. Grand Theft Auto's tradition of using alternate names for the cities and states the games are set in also saw its way to being used in Tool, one example being the state of South Dakota was renamed as South Yankton, in order to give reason as to why it is not a scaled rendition mentioned earlier.

The idea of having Tool be a biker gang drama/epic didn't come around until the summer of 2012, when a sudden spike of interest in the biker genre flowed into me. In order to keep a sense of diversity in the locations, characters, and the story, I had kept the original idea of having Gavin be a "country-boy moving to the big city" type of character, as well as the large city where the races were held. Gavin's character development would then see him changing from a naive and non-violent young man from a small town in the east coast, to the bloody-clothed biker gang member of the wasteland.

The city of New Gaspard (as well as Gaspard) was originally named New Pierre, as an offshoot of the desolate ruins of Pierre, South Dakota. The name was chosen in order to stick with the city's French origin. Originally the city was a brown and rust-pipe-infested crapsack city, however was changed to match the cyberpunk look of the cities seen in films such as Blade Runner and The 5th Element, in order to break away from generic post-apocalyptica, as well as to make it seem as if racing in the city truly was glamourous and elite. Poorer sections of the city took cultural inspiration from hood gangs of the 80s and 90s, as well as 50s and 60s mafia stories. Visual inspiration for the poor sections stood true to the crowded streets of the cyberpunk cities.

I am a man of many musical tastes, and every song chosen for the game's soundtrack was/is chosen by me, personally. In the early years of development, I had absolutely no musical knowledge past what is commonly known, and originally the track list had some pretty shit and generic songs all bundled into one station. Eventually I became more musically aware, and heavily modified the tracks and the format. The only two songs that were never removed and have been here since the beginning are "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue and "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf. Regarding the song "Highway to Hell", I'm still not very sure if putting that song would be in the best interest of the game.

In regards to the voice acting, I want to get unknown voice talents, yet ones that have very unique voices and can really give life to the characters I have crafted. If I could only get one well-known actor to voice a character, it would be Jason Lee, to provide the voice of Jake Tipton. It's a role that was made with him in mind from the beginning. If I could get one more famous voice, it would be Woody Harrelson to voice Charlie Borland. Not only would he provide the voice, but the motion capture and likeness for Charlie. I mean I shit you not, if this were a live-action film, Woody Harrelson would play this character. Another voice I have in consideration would be Bobby Ellsworth (lead singer of Overkill) to provide the voice of Kevin.

Other Projects

If you enjoy Tool, here are some other projects I'm also developing.

  • Retreat - Retreat is my other child, my firstborn. Conceived in 2010, Retreat was my first ever idea that I truly wanted to develop further and make into a reality. All the info of Retreat (well, most of it, really) can be read at https://retreatrome.jottit.com/
  • Star of Africa (working title) - Another game that has a GTA state-of-mind. This game is set in 1967 and follows the story of an African-American that travels to a fictional South African city to escape civil turmoil. He develops earth-manipulating powers and shit and becomes a superhero.
  • Coat of Arms - A multiplayer bonanza game featuring animals shooting each other with guns and other weapons.
  • Sunny Days - a drug game that takes place in a medical institute. Not much has been developed on this.
