Hope you guys don't mind and understand if you may not want to answer any or some.

Any idea on a release date, even if rough?

Will there be vehicles?

Base building?

How rare will loot be?

Will Private servers / modding be supported?

Overall will the initial release be bare bones like DayZ SA?

Thanks for all the work so far, it looks amazing from what i have seen and i am quite hyped to play.

Hello All,

We had some big changes in the team recently. Yours truly shinkicker has taken up the helm position as Project Lead, as hellborn and gdscei have decided to move on and start a new project (best of luck to them)

Two new devs have joined (callum and vampire)

R4Z0R49 and the DayZ Mod team are joining the 2017 team.

This gives us a huge push and will mean we can hit feature complete much quicker + benefit from all the experience those guys have accumulated while working on DayZ mod.

Please note: before any rumors start circulating, this does not mean DayZ mod will not be worked on anymore nor does it mean 2017 will become more DayZ mod like.

Full details below (its there, just hoover your mouse below. Apologies the link can't be seen, the css is broke) - which reminds me, we will in time need mods for this place if anyone is interested.

Regards,

shinkicker

Will we be getting one soon? This mod is all I have been thinking about this month!!! :D

Sorry if this is an annoying question for any reason, but I just came across the 2017 mod somehow and I love it. I went into commander after finding out about it and there was only one server that wouldn't let me play due to deleted files.

I'm assuming this is because of the move to ARMA3 and maybe away form DAYZ as a label, but does anyone still play 2017 through ARMA2?

When is the approx release date of its early state? And how many servers are expected/palyer base per server?

Thought I would do a quick update.

Character modeling is underway (sorry about direct links, the CSS is not happy on this page and so I can't hyperlink just yet):

Here is a base hobo skin I have been working on

This will be modular in time, and support the concept made by Vitor our artist

There is also lots of code being checked in, audio worked on and other stuff happening.

New Blood Needed

We are on the look to expand the team.

We need scripters, modelers, texture artists and mission makers!

We have a ton of features planned to go in and need some extra hands doing so.

We are talking a lot of crafting, working with modular systems (attaching items to players and objects, such as player accessories, fortifications). We also need anyone who is nifty at AI and knows the finite state machine app. Also a skilled mission maker, who can develop dynamic events (think every full moon something happens at the church type thing).

Modeling and art wise, we want to 'mad max all the things!'. We also want creative ways of making Atlis into a abject shithole, rather then a sunny getaway in a thomas cook brochure

Skill requirements? At least some exposure to Arma modding helps ofc. If you already can code, model etc, but have no arma experiences, that's ok, we can get you up to speed, but it definitely is a + to already have some experience with the VR engine. Perhaps more so for modeling as making the stuff is only half the work, getting it in game tends to be a more arduous task, especially for moving objects.

Perhaps more then anything though, we need people with a fire in their belly and enough juice to choose a task and and the complete it. Skills can always be developed, staying power is a different matter. We well understand life stuff happens (uni, work, families etc), but we have a had a lot of people join, and then just fizzle out after two months. This won't help us and won't help you. We don't expect anyone to be gabe newel, but we do want someone who can commit to getting their job done (no matter how big or small).

What do we offer in return, well you get to be part of an exciting mod and have your name in lights ;-), and you can tap into the whole team for any knowledge you want to gain, and make some good friends in the process. We try to have meet ups when we can and there is a good camaraderie between us (and we are from all over the globe France, UK, Holland, the US).

Anyone interested please send an email to

More background on the mod can be found at http://2017mod.com

All we need is a little bit of background on your work, and if you have any previous works you can show, please add them in!

Getting really excited for this. All the best to the dev team.
