Myriad Islands is a total conversion for GTA: Vice City with every part
of the game edited. There is a new map (land, buildings ect.) new
missions and code, brand new cars, new weapons and more!The project was started by illspirit in 2003 and there are many contributers. A small article was also published in the magazine, PCGAMER. The project was first started by illspirit in 2003 for Vice City. The entire map of Vice City was replaced by two islands. People were allowed to request sections of land to build buildings on them. After a few years, two more islands were created north of this. When San Andreas for PC was released, the map from Vice City was converted to San Andreas. In 2006, another project similar to this called Grand Tani Islands was merged into the Myriad Islands project. The islands are split into lots. Empty lots can be requested by players so they can model their own buildings on it. There are certain limits on what can be built on them, but the general rule is to be realistic. If lack of progress is shown, the lot can be revoked from the player. All GTA vehicles and weapons will eventually be replaced by custom models. Players can request a vehicle or weapon to replace and model a vehicle or weapon that should be better than the model that is being replaced.
