Marking the beginning of 2008, Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas Deathmatch will be developing periodic new releases that will be publicly available for download as we work towards our final version.
If you're looking for our old downloads, check out the Download archive.
Our Developer Preview releases are targetted at potential script developers and people that are generally interested in developing for Multi Theft Auto, but users that want to take a peek are, of course, welcome to come and test!
Please note that Developer Previews are actually pre-releases, as we work towards a final release, in an effort to introduce Multi Theft Auto and it's scripting abilities to our future developers.
Latest available version: v1.0-dp2.1 (released on May 23, 2008)
