Standalone DayZ game gets first screenshots

The first screenshots of the standalone DayZ game set to launch by the end of the year have been released.

The shots show off a variety of different building interiors which will be perfect for loot hunting.

DayZ creator, Dean Hall, said the shots are a work-in-progress.

"Please note these are work-in-progress shots, with only basic texture work and initial lighting passes," he wrote on the DayZ blog. "I picked a random town in the game and took screenshots of a few of the houses.

"The screenshots are taken on 'normal' graphic settings (medium texture resolution) and are unaltered and uncropped.

"Our artists have been very busy, methodically going through all buildings in Chernarus and adding interiors. The task can be pretty difficult, when the buildings were made interiors were not considered so it can be a challenge for the artists to make the interiors both look correct and work properly."

Hall also promised more screenshots were coming in the next few weeks.
