Still, it’s not been an easy game to develop, the network challenges of supporting so many players on a single island, all interacting with an environment cluttered with items is part of the reason it’s been in alpha for five years. Developer Bohemia Interactive jumped on the success of the DayZ mod as quickly as it could, forming a team around the mod developer Dean ‘ Rocket’ Hall and immediately began developing a standalone game around the same idea. The move into beta will also bring with it some major changes that players have been waiting on throughout the five years of development, such as base building, modding support, and the ability to run your own server.ĭayZ has had a fascinating, rapid development.
