DayZ Developer blog 26th April, Video from PAX and our latest "building"

[mattlightfoot 2463]

Hello Everyone,Right so we have two different updates of a kind this week, we have our video blog from PAX in Boston you can find that on our Tumblr - http://dayzdev.tumblr.com

The other thing we have to show you are some screenshots from our latest "building" our artists have created.This shipwreck has a vast amount of enter-able space inside and we haven't decided exactly where it is going to be placed on Chernarus yet either so some of the pictures are taken from our test map which is bland/featureless and which we use for testing new buildings.

Put it off shore, but not too far.

FIRST

It should be a short swim, with some easy way of going from driven-boat to wrecked-boat?

Awesome, guys :thumbsup: ! As for a location, I feel like there's only a couple places it would really work. One option would be to put it near the crane docks in one of the large cities.. If it was put in say Cherno or Elektro, it may be a bit too instrusive. I'm thinking Berezino because that side of the map isn't visited all too often and it would be like a hidden gem on the map. Another option would be to have it be beached on some shore. Judging by its dilapidated state, this would probably make the most sense as survivors would want to salvage and jack some of the metal off it.

Tumbler.com is a very different website. :)

ANyway: Looks like moving through doors is less of a pain in the ass!

That ship looks fantastic! I love it, very atmospheric.

I wonder where it's going to be placed... can't be too far offshore because then it would be underwater. :D In Kaiolohia Bay, Hawaii, there's a rusting ship fairly far off the shore and upright, too.

Have it near kamenka. Maybe then people will quit complaining about spawning in that general vicinity.

Hello Matt Lightfoot, thank you for the update. In a previous thread you commented that there will be no vehicles in the game at release because the client/server architecture takes precedence. Has there been any progress on that note?

In addition, I have another important question. Several months ago I read that Bohemia Interactive would not be hosting dedicated servers for the standalone and that, instead, BI would be renting servers out to clans or anyone else who wants one like DayZMod originally was. I believe that model contradicts the "MMO client/server" architecture. Would you comment on this?

I raise this question because ArmA 3 has demonstrated a lack of security at Bohemia Interactive and allowing the server software to be used by third parties is the worst possible move in the interest of security and integrity of fair game play.

I cant see the images, as I can do?

[guisho 258]

It can be placed on the same spot that the non-enterable wrecked ship at northeast of the map is by now.

A "Lovingly Crafted" intro indeed. Makes me want to watch MacGuyver.
