DayZ Can Stand on Its Own Two Feet

It’s a rare and intriguing phenomenon when a mod for a game becomes more popular than the core game itself, and this is certainly the case for the DayZ  mod for Arma2 . Similar to when Counter-Strike  was simply a mod for Half-Life 2 , the DayZ mod is now in development as a standalone game.

Updates to DayZ will happen in conjunction with development of the new game, following a “Minecraft development model” of fast iterations with the alpha version available at a discounted price. The game has it’s own homepage now, where over the coming weeks there will be developer discussions and Q/A.

Sean was subjected to 10-12 hours of rigorous daily gaming throughout his youth, mastering the most complex video games and dominating online competitions. Sean's symbiotic relationship with video games led to writing about them for various gaming websites, and he is currently involved in sales strategy and analytics at one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Sean's mission is simple: Turn 100% of the human population into gamers, willingly or otherwise.
