Development continues on Bohemia Interactive's standalone version of DayZ. The creator of the original mod, Dean "Rocket" Hall, continues to provide regular updates on the game's progress via the official blog. Yesterday marked a change in the updates, though, with the release of the first footage of DayZ.
The footage doesn't show typical DayZ gameplay, and is not indicative of how the final product will look or perform, but does highlight a few updated features. These include an updated UI, new clothing effects, new item spawning to make it feel like you're actually scavenging, and improved indoor spaces.
