Deer Cam Mod Gives Grand Theft Auto V's Animal AI New Purpose
A modder known as Brent Watanabe has created a Grand Theft Auto V hack that spawns a deer and simply follows it through San Andreas. This weird idea has been livestreamed on Twitch, and thousands of people have watched it.
The video is streamed from a PC running a modded version of GTAV that doesn't require anyone to be playing. The deer is completely autonomous – it makes its own decisions, responds to its surroundings and interacts with other AI in the game.
In the past few days, the deer has taken a long walk on the beach, caused a traffic pileup on a freeway, and been involved in a gang shootout. The stream is currently offline, but you can still watch the deer's past adventures here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
