''San Andreas Multiplayer'' started life as a multiplayer modification for [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Vice City]], dubbed [[Vice City Multiplayer]] (''VC:MP'') towards the start of April, 2005. It was decided that ''VC:MP'' would be worked on as a codebase for ''SA:MP'', due to the fact the upcoming [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]] game was not released at the time the team started working. The team consisted of some well known members of the [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] [[Modification|modding]] community, and was led by ''kyeman'' - a prominent figure in the GTA Modding community. Offering preview videos and screenshots showing the status of the development work that was being done quickly gained the mod a large fanbase within the GTA community, with its small forums attracting approximately 120 users before it switched to a new home. | ''San Andreas Multiplayer'' started life as a multiplayer modification for [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Vice City]], dubbed [[Vice City Multiplayer]] (''VC:MP'') towards the start of April, 2005.

After a couple of public beta tests gathering an extremely high amount of interest (so high that long waits were common to get a slot on the beta servers) ''VC:MP'' was finally released to a warm reception and has since progressed from v0.1 to v0.1d, with an open-source code release in the progress. This source has now been used by another community member to progress with ''VC:MP'' as the main team work on '''SA:MP'''. | After a couple of public beta tests gathering an extremely high amount of interest (so high that long waits were common to get a slot on the beta servers) ''VC:MP'' was finally released to a warm reception and has since progressed from v0.1 to v0.1d, with an open-source code release in the progress.
