The changes to this inventory system are huge." "If you shoot a player in the head to take his night vision, you will damage the night vision. "The new system opens the door for durability of items, disease tracking (cholera lingering on clothes a player wears.), batteries, add-on components and much more. "You scavenge for items now as individual parts, picking up pieces rather than piles, looking for cans on shelves or under beds," he explained. One of the biggest changes is the rewritten inventory system that Hall declared would "fundamentally change the DayZ experience". The good news about the delay is, as Hall mentioned, that DayZ Standalone will better as a result. Through letters, Butcha has been able to communicate some of his vision, but their imprisonment continues to have "a significant impact" on the project, admitted Hall. Ivan Butcha was the lead architect of revising the DayZ area of Chernarus, and Martin Pezlar was helping. Luckily only The War Z has appeared in DayZ clothing, and The War Z turned out to be both terrible and embalmed in controversy.ĭid these events allow Dean Hall some breathing space? If they did, Hall showed no sign of relief before Christmas as he wrote an emotional Reddit response to the DayZ community apologising for the delay.Īnother hold-up for DayZ Standalone has been losing two key developers to imprisonment in Greece on charges of espionage, as has been well publicised.
DAYZ STANDALONE NEW ENGINE MOD
One of the reasons Hall had been so anxious to release a standalone version of DayZ - the DayZ mod requires ArmA 2 to play - was to beat inevitable copycats of his phenomenon to the punch. I assume this will be the paid alpha, Minecraft-style release Hall has been keen on from the beginning. When that's finished, feedback compiled and addressed, a public release will happen. The plan now is to begin a closed test for between 5 people "imminently". "This blew any initial plans we had dictated to pieces." "DayZ Standalone isn't here because we had the chance to go from making a game that was just the mod improved slightly, packaged simply and sold, to actually redeveloping the engine and making the game the way we all dreamed it could be," wrote Hall. In short: things changed, and for the better. In a new post on the DayZ blog, titled "Where is the standalone release?", Dean Hall explained why. DayZ Standalone didn't make an end-of-2012 release, the target creator Dean Hall announced at the Eurogamer Expo in September last year.
