DayZ becomes a standalone project

DayZ, the little mod that could, has grown up and moved out of the house. The Arma II mod will now be developed as a standalone project by Bohemia Interactive with lead developer Dean Hall as the project's lead.

The mod and the standalone game will continue to be developed side-by-side, so if you're invested in the mod now you can keep on keepin' on just as you have been. Like Minecraft, the game will have an alpha version available for a big discount, and alpha will go through fast iterations.

Hall promised more information in the coming weeks.

Hopefully this will be a great game, the best part about Dayz was that it was a mod of a military simulator which meant that the combat with other players was pretty realistic, get shot in the leg your legs are broken and need morphine to get up etc and the whole needing food and drink meant that you couldn't just sit around doing nothing, you NEED to go to the main towns to get food and water otherwise your screwed, really hope they don't screw up making this game a standalone.
