With yesterday’s release of a survival game I got nostalgic while ranting about the lack of endgame and once again took Dayz Origins as a good example for an engaging endgame loop. You can’t imagine how hyped I am now after stumbling over this project today by accident. The Map Creator on board, original Devs on board too, familiar looking nicknames from the origins mod forum and the intention of “just” doing it the way the mod has been.
Taviana is for me the best Arma Map for Survival/Dayz style gameplay and I had always the hope that it will return to Arma 3. To be honest (sry @Martin
) I hoped that one of the unofficial projects succeed and was somehow annoyed that there were legal issues regarding the Map I adore the most. Had I known that there were most likely already plans at that time to do Pandemik, I would have had different thoughts to this regard.
Anyways, I really hope you can reasonably stick to the features/parameters of the original Mod. The loot balancing will be quite hard to get right I guess, not sure how a similar setting will be perceived of a Steam EA buyership.
It’s always hard to be objective when nostalgia is involved, but I’m looking forward how my most loved Arma Mod will play 5 years later and with nice graphics! Rest assured that my contribution will happen the latest this weekend!
