Joystiq has a progress report on the standalone version of DayZ after The Escapist spotted a Steam Database entry for Early Access to Bohemia Interactive's upcoming zombie game based on the Arma II mod of the same name. Hall essentially confirms plans to offer early access, and says development is moving along: "Amazing how quickly the internet picks up on things isn't it?" said Hall. "All I can say is that progress has been very good, we're a mix of nervous and excited. And as I'd stated on my twitter when I announced my break from social media/updates, we are on the final lap. Part of the final process involves the actual administration of the release, which is actually surprisingly complex and time-consuming."
