ripbabyg@hotmail.co.uk 125 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) That’s right, this is actually happening - DayZ will be developed as a standalone game, with me as project lead, by Bohemia Interactive. This is the fairy-tale outcome for a mod that many would have said impossible four months ago.Development and updates of the mod will continue in parallel with the development of the game, so anyone who is playing the mod now will be able to continue to do so. The project will follow the Minecraft development model; fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price.I realize people will have many, many questions - but we wanted to let everyone know the announcement now. Over the coming weeks, these questions will be answered. The game will have it’s own site, www.dayzgame.com and the mod will continue at it’s present link.http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/28904791570/the-end-of-the-beginningOSH, cannot wait.

Disgraced 1123 Posted August 7, 2012 Leads to a tumblr "not found" link, so you know it's legit!Not exactly a surprise. They must have inked some paper somewhere. I'm guessing a forked version of Arma III. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farris 0 Posted August 7, 2012 I'm hoping some sort of discount will be in order if you actually own ARMA II CO or ARMA II and OA. Good to see it happen tough :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Izziee 128 Posted August 7, 2012 What is it? Not clicking the link. Going to guess, just another it's going to be standalone info? Already knew that. Anything of real interest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinisterpink 6 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Hehe this comes in not long after I posted http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/63216-the-war-z-is-bashing-day-z-hard-are-you-gonna-stand-for-it-rocket/ . Maybe it's a coincidence...... but this is great news, congratulations to Rocket and his dev team for getting this far - amazing work guys! Looking forward to more updates on what your plan is with standalone. Edited August 7, 2012 by sinisterpink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semipr0 402 Posted August 7, 2012 Yanno I'm like...totally happy for Rocket and all that.But til I hear some engine details, what their plans are for fleshing this out and "taking it to the next level" I simply could not be bothered to give a fuck.We knew this was coming. All that mattered was the when, and now all that matters is the details....which we don't have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkRaven123 602 Posted August 7, 2012 The fact that he is the lead Designer, with BI behind him, makes me very very excited.In fact, I believe I just pitched a tent. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All that mattered was the when, and now all that matters is the details....which we don't have.Damn, way to be an asshole. Give them a bit of credit, there had to be a load of red tape and discussion between BI and Rocket for this to happen. Now its set and we can stop worrying about "If" it will turn standalone and focus on what is gonna be like/when its gonna be released. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acix 132 Posted August 7, 2012 1mil players in 4 months, doubling sales of Arma II just for the mod, and an awesome active community. Of course its going standalone. It's pretty awesome news... hopefully they get a different anti-cheat program to do something about the hacker infestation and this will be awesome. Pretty exciting shit for Rocket though. Glad this is happening can't wait to see the what he can do to polish a stand-alone. Will be awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ripbabyg@hotmail.co.uk 125 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Hmm, will be good to see if he can implement his ideas about underground buildings and how he works on things like that, cannot wait to see a few features. And a few details on what will be in the stand alone game, look's like he got full financial backing of Bohemia however.

Either way since I started playing Dayz its become an unhealthy obsession. I been a gamer for 30 years of my life and never been infatuated with a game like I am with Dayz,Cant wait to see what Dayz turns int.GL Rocket! I pitched a tent.
