The game was first conceived around 2010, when Brazilian-themed mods for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas were common. Development was slow in the first years due to the small team of less than ten people working part-time on the project. Initially the Blender 3D engine was used, but in 2015 the game was re-created in Unreal Engine 4. 171 was publicly unveiled in that same year, generating great expectation in the media and being frequently nicknamed "the Brazilian Grand Theft Auto" thanks to its similarities with and inspiration from that famous game series. Betagames has since been releasing new development updates.2023-11-14 Apoio ao cliente https://premierbet-aviator.co.mz/apoio-ao-cliente/ 2023-12-05 pt-MZ

Name
In the Brazilian Penal Code, article 171 describes the crime of estelionato (confidence trick). Therefore, in Brazilian Portuguese slang, 171 refers to a con artist, or, more broadly, a "crook" or criminal.Advogados Duarte International Fraud & Asset Tracing 2024 https://practiceguides.chambers.com/practice-guides/comparison/1009/13212/20897-20898-20899-20900-20901-20902-20903 Chambers And Partners 4 February 2025 2 May 2024
Gameplay
Inspired by the Grand Theft Auto series, 171 is an open-world action-adventure game with role-playing and third-person shooter elements. The player controls a young criminal living in a low-income neighborhood in Brazil who can complete several gigs, both legal and illegal, purchase and use firearms, drive and steal vehicles, and commit other illicit acts such as murder and theft. The scenery is a faithful parody of real-world neighborhoods in Brazil.171 on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1269370/171/ 2023-12-05 store.steampowered.com en
Development
171 is by Betagames Group, an independent developer team of initially ten members, localized in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. In 2010 and 2011, a time when mods for games such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that incorporated Brazilian elements (such as clothes, vehicles and locations) were popular, they had the idea of creating a similar game taking place in Brazil.Silva Luiz 2016-01-20 171 é o GTA do Brasil que você esperava http://gamereporter.uol.com.br/171-e-o-gta-do-brasil-que-voce-esperava/ dead https://web.archive.org/web/20190511232157/http://gamereporter.uol.com.br/171-e-o-gta-do-brasil-que-voce-esperava/ 2019-05-11 2019-01-09 Game Repórter pt-BR In an interview for the website Nerd Interior, when asked "how did you come up with the idea of an open-world game specifically set in Brazil", Diogo Moraes, one of the developers, replied: "It's hard to find someone nowadays who doesn't like open-world games, isn't it? We, for instance, love the freedom adopted in those games, which are true works of art plus I think, 171 is the best game I’ve developed... Seeing mods that brought Brazilian content and even locations, despite fractioned, but more and more frequently [to video games] woke our interest and made us see the possibility of a creation focused on that goal. With time we saw that it wasn't just cool, but something that not only we, but people in general, were expecting."Fernandes Alexandre 2017-05-26 Entrevista: Betagames Group e o primeiro jogo brasileiro de mundo aberto https://nerdinterior.com.br/games/entrevista-betagames-group-e-o-primeiro-jogo-brasileiro-de-mundo-aberto/ 2019-01-07 Nerd Interior pt-BR Between 2010 and 2015, the team used the Blender 3D engine,https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwYkqHQAAxq8ASQWwYKGngQ BGE Vicio YouTube 2019-01-10 Nota: A BGE Vicio se trata de um antigo canal no YouTube da Betagames Group, onde se era mostrado o processo de desenvolvimento de 171 no motor gráfico Blender. pt-BRhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvkPxfZ1FfE HKSDK Β.Ω.Ξ (Blender 2.58 Released) - Solid wire SP City 1.7.1 2011-06-21 pt-BR until it was replaced by Unreal Engine 4 in 2015.

Alpha version and early access
An alpha version was declared possible after another successful campaign on Catarse in May 2020. Predicted for the second semester of 2020, it would include new mechanics, a day-night cycle, new weapons, new vehicles (such as motorbikes), improvement of police and pedestrian AI, new movements, weapon shops, new clothes and bug fixes.
