I know I've expressed dislike towards this mod in the past, but I gotta admit, it's shaping up to look amazing.

A before and after along with various other screenies:

http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/41444643504/this-is-the-first-update-when-i-have-sat-down-and

Now I'm interested and excited for it. I just hope that the animations/feel of the controls get changed.

Things they've updated:

  • Lighting and material improvements
  • Volumetric Cloud system
  • New Server Architecture
  • Clothing/Inventory status
  • Closed Test Status
  • Art/World updates
  • Customizing yourcharacter
  • Customizing your weapon

Each point is expanded on more in the blog.

Sounds good, but I just want this to come out already! Really enjoyed Dayz and some friends plan to give the Standalone a try so it'll be even more fun with buddies.

Some really interesting changes outlines there. Glad they aren't trying to rush the game out anymore, I'd much rather wait for a complete product.

Gimme Gimme Gimmme.

DayZ was one of those games where the first week I thought "WTF is this mess?" But as time went on adn I learned everything the game had to offer and met up with some friends and started to play medic asn help people, its been just a blast. That latest user made level Tavarria is pretty awesome to. Cannot wait to try this standalone version.

All DayZ really needed was polish IMO. Sounds like they're making progress.

If they can nail the animations, make it more about zombies and not player stalking, and most importantly optimization.. I'm in.

What about the zombie pathing? Right now it is the worst part about the game. Zombies spot you from way too far away, run through walls, and lag all around.

If Rocket does not fix this i'm done with it. Rocket says " it is a bad idea to overhype the project" so i'm not holding my breath it will be that good tbh.

It was fixed. The problem with the mod is that the zombies used soldier AI from ARMA2 so they would zigzag to dodge bullets.

If it's fixed it's been shady information so far.

It has to be fixed right? Or it will be War Z all over again. We will see, Zombie games of late have been nothing other then trash and a waste of time.

Agree 100% with the optiization and animations but not the zombie part.

Last three days on DayZ I died 3 times.. all from zombies :lol:

Don't under estimate the zombies in DayZ, they can make you sick, get you bleeding or knock you out without much trouble these days.

Then again I do roleplay as a medic so I do stay out of most humans view for the most part these days (until I actually heal them of course then im outta there seconds later) :P

Project Zomboid is a isometric game for **** sake.....DayZ mod was fun for like a couple of days tops..... i don't know about you but i don't have my hopes up for a glitchy mod turning into a full game on the same glitchy engine.
