Alpha progress.

[Zog 0]

Hey guys, I'm curious how's alpha going?
About a year ago I saw some alpha footage on youtube, the idea fascinated me but the gameplay was way too raw for my taste (well, sorry).

How is it now?
How hard devs are working on it?
Any dramatic improvements since then?

Thank you.

Here's the latest footage if you want to see how different it is.

Oh, I saw that one a few days ago.
Not to be picky (I know it's alpha) but why axe still making a bullet sounds when it hits something?

They are just using placeholder sounds at the moment, they will all be redone after new content has been added to save having to do new new sounds if things have to be changed.

I don't know why they chose Linsay Lohan. I'd much prefer the Kate Moss version.

Thanks for replies, fellas. Good to know that it's confidently moving forwards.
I'll try it myself, thank God Gabe ArmA 2 is on sale for the next 30 hrs.

I think you are mixing up DayZ-Standalone, the dayz game that is currently under development, with the Mod DayZ for ARMA II here.

It's going good thanks.

 

All testers are under Non-Disclosure Acts, so the only information related to the Alpha you'll be exposed to is that derived from Dev Team tweets, updates and responses to threads on Reddit/Forums.

Zog, looks like you've mixed up the mod with the standalone game.

 

The only game that is currently available to play is the dayz mod which requires arma 2 to play, that too has undergone quite a few changes since last year, but due to it being a mod there was only so much they could achieve so they decided to make a standalone game that will be sold on its own, and released as an alpha,  thats what people have been talking about here, and thats what the footage you saw is of.

 

Most people expect the standalone dayz alpha to be released fairly soon, but really we don't know when it will come out.
