A Message from Adnr Studio

The world of modding has always been fueled by passion, creativity, and collaboration. However, recent incidents within the modding community have highlighted challenges that threaten this spirit. Seeing moderators of prominent modding communities actively supporting leaks of mods, even encouraging others to share unauthorized copies, and spreading false accusations — such as claims that I stole LA Revo — has been deeply disheartening. These actions not only harm the creators but also erode the passion and trust that hold the community together. In response, I am more determined than ever to build a community where users as well as creators support one another, work collaboratively, and foster an environment of mutual respect and innovation. Community where we help each other, cooperate, respect each other, share the love and peace to make community enjoyable for everybody who do the same to grow together and bring everybody the best of the possible or even ‘impossible’.

A Brief History

For those unfamiliar with the history of LA Revo and its creator, Cryhd, here’s some background. LA Revo, along with other well-known mods like LA Roads and LA Vegetation, were groundbreaking projects aimed at recreating Los Angeles within GTA 5. These mods quickly became favorites in the community. However, like many creators, Cryhd faced real-life obligations that forced him to pause his work on these mods despite his unwavering passion.

Years later, Cryhd made a triumphant comeback with LA Revo 2.0, a project even more ambitious and detailed than its predecessors. With support from the community and exposure through Dubstepzz’s YouTube videos, LA Revo 2.0 became a beacon of innovation. However, the scale and complexity of the project demanded significant time and effort, leading Cryhd to seek support through Patreon. This decision allowed him to provide early access to the mod while ensuring ongoing development. Many long-term creators understand the importance of such support in sustaining extensive projects and avoiding burnout.

Did Armani or Adnr Studio forced monetization of LA Revo 2.0?

No. Cryhd chose to seek support for LA Revo 2.0 through Patreon to sustain the project’s development. This approach ensured continuous updates and improvements while fostering community feedback and speeding up whole development of this project to make it finished and free as soon as possible.

Did Adnr Studio take down Cryhd’s previous mods?

Cryhd made the decision to remove his earlier mods, including LA Revo, LA Roads, and LA Vegetation, because he felt they no longer represented his current level of skill and vision. His focus shifted entirely to LA Revo 2.0, which he saw as a superior and more refined project.

Did Adnr Studio steal LA Revo 2.0 from Cryhd?

Absolutely not. As you probably know we have separate tiers and installers of LA Revo 2.0 only as well. Cryhd never abandoned this project, even that he had offers to work for other popular mods creators, he stays loyal to his own project with own idea. Cryhd is the lead developer of LA Revo 2.0 and a key member of Adnr Studio. Adnr Studio serves as a collaborative creative house, enabling creators to pool their talents and ideas. Cryhd remains in full control of LA Revo 2.0, ensuring his passion and vision are preserved.

Is 5Real simply a rebranded LA Revo 2.0?

Not at all. As mentioned, we have separate tiers and packages for both projects. LA Revo 2.0 focuses on enhancing the game’s environment, such as architecture, vegetation, roads, and surfaces. In contrast, 5Real aims for a comprehensive realism overhaul, encompassing as well vehicles, clothing, interactions, and more. So you can understand 5Real as an extension of LA Revo 2.0, which is a reason why 5Real already include in its installers all files of LA Revo 2.0. However, to reach the goal of full game realism, all things that LA Revo 2.0 is changing, are not optionable but necessary.

The Power of Collaboration

LA Revo fanbase after seeing Dubstepzz using real vehicles in preview video of LA Revo 2.0 started asking Cryhd to include real vehicles as well, even that it was different thing than any of his previous mods was aiming for. However this was first and main feature being done in 5Real project at that time. To grow community, you need to help each other, not fight each other. We noticed that our projects goals are very similar and slowly with expanding of our projects, being almost same. We had 2 options — keep working alone, do everything alone and try to compete with each other, bringing two different versions of same idea, under two different names and with lot of possible inperfections. Or team up, merge our projects under one Studio and work together to help each other. Make double amount of the work and help each other with any inperfections, learning more and more skill faster and faster. We both agreed that we want to help modding community and grow with y’all together, not fight each other. Which is reason why we were able to create biggest mod ever and why we are able to provide biggest updates every single month and keep doing things that people said are impossible to do, or in some cases, even we thought previously that are impossible to be done.

A Vision for the Future

Adnr Studio is more than just Cryhd, Armani, LA Revo 2.0, or 5Real. It is a growing collective of passionate individuals committed to bringing groundbreaking creations to life. We have amazing RealismScript developer, we paid commisions and fees for a lot of already existing mods to be able implement them in our one-in-all package or even fully own rights for some of them and to don’t waste time and resources that y’all provide us, on developing of something that already exist and is alright or need just a little touch.

We are constantly outsourcing some type of work. Why? Yes, we could learn how to do it ourself or we even know some of these things how to do ourself, but doing everything alone would lead only to the infiniti amount of the work and project being under wip beta stage forever and that is not what we want. We want our projects grow, be finished, make more projects and bring more great creations for all of you. And by doing that we as well take funds that you give us and we forward them to other creators to support their passion and allow them spend more time on their passion of modding, which is at the end win-win situation for us, you our supporters and other modders as well.

We have as well video creators and people who help us manage all our platforms which allow us to focus on developing new updates and that is very important part of time management in order to bring so big updates as we do every month. We have as well cinematic channel where we are, let’s say only preparing for it’s main project to be released soon.

We have lot of ideas for LA Revo 2.0 & 5Real projects. We have lot of ideas for other possible projects as a GTA5 mods. We have lot of ideas for other possible projects as other games mods. We have lot of ideas for lot of video projects both related and not related to GTA5. We have lot of ideas for creative projects that has nothing to do with GTA5. We have just tons of ideas and you guys give us even more ideas, there are between you as well people who offer us even being hired for your own project ideas. We would love to do everything at once, but even with leading members of Adnr Studio being really crazy creators who are lot of times willing to sacrifice own good or even sleep to finish our own goals and bring you the best, time is our most limited resource. Unlike some paid creators who keep projects under development indefinitely, our goal is to complete each project efficiently, share it with the community for free, and move on to new challenges. This philosophy ensures constant innovation and growth.

Final Words

As we move forward, we encourage you to verify the information you encounter online, not only regarding of us or GTA5 mods, but in general. False claims and jealousy-driven accusations can harm not only creators but also the community as a whole.

If you did read it all the way here I would like to say for whole Adnr Studio that your support, whether through Patreon, YouTube, or other platforms, is invaluable and fuels our drive to deliver the best possible creations.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modding. Stay tuned for groundbreaking updates, unseen projects, and unparalleled content from Adnr Studio. Let’s keep it real and keep it big!
