No animators working on dayz atm. Is this true?

[nakedslave 1]

Can anyone confirm they have no animators working on dayz anymore?   

At the beginning of the year. I remember reading in an old status report that Bohemia had moved coders and developers away from arma 3 and moved them onto dayz.  am I crazy or did I not read this somewhere.  I remember reading that there was something like 80+ devs working on dayz or on the enfusion engine

Around 6 months ago I asked Sumrak (dayz lead dev) about bows and crossbows. He said that it isn't problem to add them into the game, but they have problem with lack of animators / animation for new guns / features and thats the main reason why bow isnt in the game. So I can believe that dayz team had / have big problem with lack of animators to support new patches. 

 

It is strange because Bohemia have his own motion capture studio so I wonder why they cannot just get a day to record few new animations for future guns and other actions and later on just clean this mocap?? I am 3d animator who just started my job at game industry, so I really wonder what is the problem in Bohemia with this?

That was in 2018 I believe. There are only a few now, I read the number is something like 8.
