	During 3 years of development there were enough models produced to replace at least half of [[~~State of~~ San Andreas\|San Andreas]] map. However, the main problems that the team encountered was that many developers were too busy with their private life; did not find the project successfull or were in deep conflict with the manager of the project, who, on a number of occasions, has expressed his concerns regarding Ukraine and Russia's today's and past relationship. Every time the developer left, the team lost its models, which sometime made up over the half of the map. One of the most discussed moments was when Predator, Lioshenka and GexoDiver left, nearly at the same time, leaving the team with no map at all. Another problem was that at that stage there was no person in the team left who knew how to convert models into SA. The team had only couple of months to finish off the promised demo-version and they have successfully managed to do it, although not without some troubles. Developer ED, who has done most of the modelling for demo-version, has done the impossible, learned to import models and made a new town basically from scratch.

	It would be unwise not to mention that the team hasn't influenced the GTA modding community. For its 3-year old history the team had almost all well-known Russian modellers working for them, who, despite the fact they left, brought even more public attention to the project. The countires, where the modellers came from include, but are not limited to: Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belorussia, Kazahstan, Moldavia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Armenia, UK, USA, Germany and Austria. The team has build the confidence and faith in itself and the project is considered as one of the most successfull of all time like ''GTA: Myriad Islands'', ''GTA: United'' and ''GTA: Gostown''. It is the only global Russian mod that reached the successfull demo-version stage.		It would be unwise not to mention that the team hasn't influenced the GTA modding community.

	In late December, 2008 it was announced that the new beta can be expected in February, 2009. Later it was confirmed that the date would be ''23rd of February'' - official state holiday in Russia, Day of Fatherland's Defender - meaning it would be a present for all GTA fans (most of whom are male and celebrate this holiday).

	The second demo version was released in Spring 2009 and had few patches released after to fix bugs.

Empty		The second demo version was released in Spring 2009 and had few patches released after to fix bugs. It had a number of villages and cities, road system, 3 new wireless stations, few new pedesrian models, almost all vechicles were replaced by new ones. Empty area between towns was filled with fields and forests, which were generated by script.
	The upcoming beta is believed to have most of the map finished, including the countryside. It will contain all cities and towns as planned~~, but the trees in the countryside will be generated automatically meaning relatively small drawing distance. Trees will be coded in properly in the final release~~.
			The mod was locked and adding new cars or modifying the map remains impossible until the release of special application which will allow that. The beta appears to be a great success for the team. In June there was an MTA server launched which proved to be very popular, and at some points had over 15 people playing at the same time. At the moment the server is down but it is believed it will be started again soon.

			The next upcoming beta is believed to have most of the map finished, including the countryside. It will contain all cities and towns as planned.
