Bohemia reveals AI test for DayZ zombies

Gameplay still from DayZ

Here, according to this AI test, it is known that the “zombies” of this test are actually an old guy with a beard. Then, it can be either the future of DayZ or a scary vision of a care home riot.

As per a status report to the DayZ blog, the lead producer Brian Hicks is over some of the new features the team are working on. Partly that means multipurpose barrels—placeable containers that can be used for storage, as a rain catching device or as cover against incoming fire.

Also, Hicks shows some of the work being done to zombies. "Again - this is very early implementation," writes Hicks, "However as work progresses into the next week the design team are working on sneaking and stealthy tactics when dealing with this new A.I. system. Moving into the next experimental branch window, we’ll be looking at pushing the early implementation work out to this branch and testing with varied numbers across all servers."
