Version 1 (V1)

V1 was released on 7/28/2017. V1 focused on recreating the area located around Lake Villa, Antioch, and parts of Fox Lake, Illinois.

Information
V1 was the first version of the game and was first revealed in a video on aTypicalMid's YouTube channel called "Lake County - Teaser Trailer" Shortly after this video was released, a second video was released debuting the map and its buildings.

The game was released with a focus on the law enforcement side of roleplay. Illinois State Police was not added until a further update to the game. The Lake Villa Fire Protection District (mostly referred to as LVFD incorrectly) was also in the game, but under appreciated.

Real Life Counterpart
At the time the game was released, the game was actually a full recreation of the Lake Villa area in Illinois. The game is centered around downtown Lake Villa, with roads leading out to the edges of the map. The edges of the map were IL-59 on the west, Deep Lake Rd on the west, Wisconsin on the north, and IL-132 on the south.

The game was released with three municipalities: Lake Villa, Antioch, and Fox Lake. Lake Villa was the only incorporated town with its own police department. Both Antioch and Fox Lake were less traveled areas of the map, and less common to see players in.

Iconic Game Landmarks
To this day, the legend of several locations within V1 live on in the community today, such as:


 * Downtown Lake Villa
 * Lake Villa Metra Station
 * The Old Sheriff Station
 * The "Two Gas Stations"

Most of these locations were located nearby Lake Villa. Some other locations, such as the car repaint shop, were located away from Lake Villa.
