The Daybreak Game Company has announced they’re currently working on introducing female character models to their post-apocalyptic sausage fest, H1Z1, which hit Steam Early Access back in January. The game has seen a number of updates since its release, including the “Big Damn Patch” that arrived earlier this month.
“Hoping to get the female model into H1Z1 in the next two weeks,” tweeted Daybreak’s president John Smedley. “Trying for late next week.”
The latest patch rolled out today, bringing with it a bevy of changes. Here’s a full rundown of what will be different the next time you boot up the game.
Steam Marketplace – We will be adding our game onto the Steam Marketplace so players can buy, sell and trade items in their Steam account inventory with other players.
Steam Friends – Adding the functionality to be able to join the server that your friend is playing on through your Steam friend list via the “join game” function.
Screen effects – Bringing screen effects online so we can implement things like night vision goggles, effects after drinking alcohol or taking swizzle and more.
H1Z1 virus – Adding the H1Z1 virus to the body sim, once a player has the H1Z1 virus and if not maintained, they will slowly begin to turn into a zombie, gaining zombie senses as they go. These zombie senses include things like night vision and player tracking.
First person Battle Royale – We will be adding first person Battle Royale servers, this version of BR will act like a “hardcore” version of the game. It will include zombies and have some different rewards associated with them.
Session diary – A running log that you can look at while you’re playing showing the progress of that session.
Off Roader interior – A higher res version of the interior for the Off Roader.
Anti-Cheat – Continuing our efforts to provide a better anti-cheat service and stop more cheaters.
Bug fixing – Continuously fixing bugs, both existing and anything new that pops up.
