Hey!
Let's use this thread to discuss the status reports as they are being release.
The most recent one from August 29th, 2017 (https://dayz.com/blog/status-report-29-august-2017) deals with the GamesCom and week afterwards and also features Barely Infected 's video about the 0.63 engine.
But there's also some bad news everybody was expecting - the GamesCom demo will not be released to Steam as they want to focus on getting 0.63 to experimental servers as soon as possible.
QuoteAt the same time, I have some less exciting news for you. As the build we brought to Gamescom would still take weeks to get ready for public testing, we will not be releasing the DEMO for Steam. We really wanted to, but it just no longer makes sense to spend time polishing a very small part of the whole BETA experience. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive on the floor, and I do believe we are hitting the right notes on what BETA should feel like. Rather than releasing a DEMO, our goal is to get the BETA/0.63 update out as soon as possible in its entirety on Experimental branch when ready. That does not mean it's going to be rushed. We do believe that the only way out of this hellhole is a really good game that all of us want to play.
Any of you been to GamesCom and actually placed the demo? Any word on the weird character position in the inventory? It's standing there like Jesus being nailed to the cross...
