SmashT 10907 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) So excited! The interiors look amazing! Also, the character in the last screenshot's got swag.Full-Size screenshots:Q: Do we actually spawn in our underwear?A: No, but you can drop your clothes, or I guess someone might order you to drop them.Q: How do we get to be one of the testers?A: Those who are testing will get the game for free, and never have to pay for future versions. Their job will be tough. We're starting by rewarding the forum moderators, reddit moderators, dayz mod development and community support team, etc...Rocket also did a quick Q&A on liriks livestream, these are the (paraphrased) answers:- Some twitch streamers will be in the test- There will be an NDA in the closed test, but streaming will be allowed.- Release (test) could be any day now- Clothing is unisex- Weapons will have durability and there will be weapon cleaning.- They want to allow modding later on, once the game is stable/secure.- Cars/vehicles will be phase two priority, Rocket wants to redo them completely so you can change parts, engines, build, mix and match Mad Max style.- Rocket hopes to be able to "Mad Max style" build cars, interchanging parts and engines etc.- More blood gore, not cheesy though- Individual bone fractures will exist in a few months, it's not complete but the engine architecture is done.- DayZ will likely be ported to xbox if sales are over 1 million.- The game is heavily optmized, our three programmers are the people who made the engine, there WILL be some problems, at least for the first three months but most of that will be server oriented, most fps improvements at client end will probably be soaked up by graphic improvements.- Night and lighting? The artist and programmer who revised the lighting for ArmA3 will be helping with DayZ, closer to release.- The new skin shader is from the ARMA III engine- Adding children to the game has been considered.Also a Q&A we did with Matt can be found here:http://dayzmod.com/f...thew-lightfoot/Some more questions answered by Rocket on Reddit can be found here:http://dayzmod.com/f...20#entry1106882 Edited January 10, 2013 by smasht_AU 73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
