  Initial version will be free, and DRM free, distributed by us and completely open. This will be so we can get feedback from modders and establish some confidence. When the project becomes more structured we will look at future options.

  Consider me excited!

    They are also incredibly transparent on their discord. Feel free to join it and look at what the devs are saying for more info!

  Not sure how to feel about the company behind DayZ getting in on it though. It’s kinda ironic, because they (or the guy that is/was leading them) are quite notorious for abandoning active running projects for something new, and repeatedly doing so. They even did this with DayZ until after a long time they picked it up again (I think), but I’m not sure what state the DayZ is in now.

    I see this myth everywhere, but what is it based on? They’re still actively updating Stationeers and ICARUS

    Just look at their update history of you don’t believe me

      It’s not a myth when it really happens. I specifically remember DayZ being the first game I even reviewed on Steam because they abandoned it to work on a new project before wrapping up DayZ.

      It’s just bad business to let projects linger in early access while starting new ones, or even sell loads and loads of DLC for these games. Frankly Steam should do something about it and punish studios abusing the system.

        The big difference is that the DayZ standalone title was controlled by Bohemia Interactive, Rocketwerkz meanwhile is Dean’s studio.

        I mean, I get that I don’t have an insider view or anything, but Rocketwerkz has proven itself reliable

        In addition, DayZ is like a decade or more old, even in the worst case things might just change

      If anything it’s more true for former KSP 2 dev Uber Entertainment.
