A post from Dean Hall reveals that the next DayZ update will add new towns and other content. One example, the fireplace seen above, is mostly there to accommodate the cooking system , which will allow you to cook certain items, or create new ones, like soup. Sounds delicious, or at least a lot better than being forced fed a rotten banana . Good thing DayZ already balanced players' stomach capacity .
New weapons, including a lovingly crafted AKM, are also in the works. As for the bow and arrow and throwing items, Hall says that progress on the physics engine means they're “now functional at a basic level.”
Earlier this month, we learned that the DayZ development team doubled in size. Hall's post reveals that at least some of these new members are working at different locations in Bratislava, and that they are working on animals, collisions, and zombie pathfinding.
If you're a DayZ fanatic, there are more details to mull over at the game's developer blog .
