Up until May of 2010 no one from original team really continued development of modification, but since then Dingleman has taken over and lit a fire for the mod. During the mods hiatus some developers (''Monitor57'' and ''bbobik'') even switched for their own forks of mod. Several tasks earlier set for the mod have become recognisably difficult to achieve, such as missions. Missions cannot be simply ported because of mission script language changes, they must be recoded from zero, there are no possibilities for re-use of original GTA III [[Radio Stations in GTA III|Radio stations]] because of a completely changed audio subsystem. Possibly, serious development of modification will not be any more, and the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] release with reappearance of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] has considerably lowered interest for modification of such kind. | |||
