If you’ve been waiting in anticipation for the standalone release of DayZ, which started out as a side-project mod by Bohemia dev Dean Hall, then you\u2019ll be glad to know that the team finally has a release period in sight for the alpha.<\/p>\n
“I guess the big question that a lot of people have is when we’re actually going to get this out,” creator Dean Hall said. “We’ve set a date now – a window of about a week.”<\/p>\n
“We’re not going to say when that is,” he said, “because we were originally going to release them in 50,000 key increments but we decided to do everything altogether,\u201d elaborated Hall.<\/p>\n
The devs are on the verge of opening up the alpha to the public, which will help them tweak and fix the game ahead of its full release.<\/p>\n
“We really feel like we have to get the alpha out and start getting player feedback on where we’re at here,” he said.<\/p>\n
Hall also explained that the lengthy development is to make sure that the game performs the best it can on PCs.<\/p>\n
“If it has a great frame-rate – 60 fps on higher-end PCs – it means it can then run and support things like Oculus Rift and all those sort of awesome things as well,” he said.<\/p>\n
