| Pretty big update on the DayZ stand alone (Posted on 1/25/13 at 11:34 am)
quote:
New Server Architecture
Our lead programmer, Ondrej Španel, continues his work on redeveloping our server architecture. Contrary to some who say DayZ will be releasing with no anti-hack mechanisms, one of the key things we are doing with development is entirely redeveloping how the engine works. I can’t stress enough just how fundamental this change is. DayZ’s game servers will function like servers in other MMO style games, that is the server will control the behavior and the sending of updates. No longer will your machine receive all the updates allowing their analysis by various cheats.
We are exploring spawning all zombies and loot at the start of server initialization, again a huge departure from the previous mechanism. This solves many design and technical issues with the spawning and respawning of equipment, such as being able to metagame by telling whether players are in a village by seeing zombie’s have spawned.
Pics and a lot more

Have a feeling most of 2013 will be absorbed by DayZ for me.

He said if they sell a million copies on PC then they might look at console options.

Holy shite this game will never be released if they are redoing the entire server architecture.

He said $30 bucks once before but I am thinking with everything they are doing it will be a full release and closer to $50

They already have a lot of it done and they are about to move into testing.

No doubt. I already play the hell out of the mod. Can't imagine what I will do with way more options on the stand alone.

sounds pretty badass. I hope it comes out on console cause I don't think my laptop could run it well enough.
I also saw in the article that they still don't have a release date so that sucks. is there any speculation on when it could possibly be released though, maybe like this fall or sooner?
for those of you that play the mod, how big is the world? and is this standalone going to be bigger?

I haven't been keeping up with the standalone. Will it support modding, private hives and the like?
