This is dedicated to @Grim, @Vishpala, @Niuva, @MrWhite and @Zigga. A year of "moments" :) 

I have SO MANY screenshots of random Exile development shit - it is worth posting that :D 

 

Did you know that the first code name of Exile was "Altis Mortalis"? HORRIBLE! And it had a horrible HUD, too!

2015-06-24_00001.thumb.jpg.eb3c02330dbd1

So we started changing that:

2015-07-04_00002.thumb.jpg.e8212ec738863

At this point I had no idea what I was doing. But yeah, you know the result :)

2015-07-18_00008.thumb.jpg.808056bd91b8d

 

Also, the XM8 ("Ex-Mate") did not look as that cool in the beginning:

2015-08-04_00002.thumb.jpg.71f698c32e553

 

And yeah, you know. Developers be developers.

2015-07-21_00007.thumb.jpg.f56b38c4016af

And we still do this crap today :D

20160612224541_1.thumb.jpg.8d8776f749eee

I also remember how baaaad I was cursing when doing the trader system. Remember that? I have never used to many badwords before, I believe.

And Grim, you remember your birthday where 7000+ people congratulated you? :)

And someone remembers this? This is how the first version of the PIN locks looked like:

2015-07-22_00017.thumb.jpg.1b57cbbfd3fbd

 

And just for the record: This screenshot is from the 1st of August 2015. Proof for Goopy the Landfish!!

2015-08-01_00002.thumb.jpg.60c8f2d57d4a5

 

In mid August, Grim and I were trying to spawn vehicles on the map with a good distribution. Spawning them near cities would end up in vehicle stacks, so we tried a "grid distribution approach" that is still in use today. Version without using a grid:

2015-08-04_00012.thumb.jpg.f3cf76581640e

Testing different grid sizes:

2015-08-04_00016.thumb.jpg.ca28659263897

 

And Grim made this super awful stunt in the animation viewer. We have stopped questioning Arma a loooooooong time ago:

2015-08-06_00012.thumb.jpg.b2d3b486c936a

 

And this is the first official release screenshot on the 24th of August 2015!

2015-08-23_00001.thumb.jpg.0caa397bcadff

 

And on the 26th of August 2015, Landfish are still present!

2015-08-26_00001.thumb.jpg.37aef79071a70

 

And does someone remember this Arma stupidity with the backpacks in the Ocean? They have been EVERYWHERE!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how high loot looks like!

2015-09-16_00010.thumb.jpg.c8144e1387512

 

Also, If someone ever wants us to prevent vehicles from exploding in Arma. Sorry, they explode for no reason. Even if they have god mode, destruction type set to "no no" and are lifted 5km into the air!

10/10 totally would buy

2015-09-16_00013.thumb.jpg.21b2e9c39548c

 

And yeah, you probably now the following. But we have solution for that now. Yes, now. Took us sometime. Priorities, you know?

2015-09-18_00001.thumb.jpg.673cc37116764

 

Oh lord, does someone remember the first gambling machine? The "Twinkle Twister 2000"? It was soooo awful, that it now turned into the "Sloth Machine". We hope that at least someone gets the joke.

2015-09-28_00001.thumb.jpg.5ccd63fe35295

 

I also remember the "good old times" where we had a queue of players in front of our development server during a Release Candidate test. Now its like... a four slot server does the job :( 

2015-10-03_00002.thumb.jpg.3210d24374d8b

And yes, this is a safe zone. Not so safe. But safe.

2015-10-03_00004.thumb.jpg.cfebedd55e13d

2015-12-07_00004.thumb.jpg.3bfede6f8c64e

2015-12-07_00006.thumb.jpg.b504463df32ec

 

And things always went well on the first attempt. Take a look at this. Legit vehicle.

2015-11-03_00003.thumb.jpg.fde4ac6a36445

 

We never wanted to go big. It looks like we became a bigger than expected. But these. These are some big things!

2015-11-17_00001.thumb.jpg.4bbb343006f7f

 

Oh, and by the way. You remember the awful axe swing animation where we wasted three animators, two industry prof's and months of try and error on it? Yeah. Works now.

2015-11-22_00002.thumb.jpg.847fdf39cbee1

2016-03-05_00004.thumb.jpg.c337d5094c078

 

And this one. This is a running gag by Bohemia Interactive (Don't hate me guys!). In one version the Hatchbacks work great, in the next they break again, then they work for a while and yeah, they still don't work:

2015-12-09_00007.thumb.jpg.3c52e96b4734e

 

But nobody cannot say we are not testing good enough. We do! We even tested shooting Cessnas with a 6.5 caliber and spawned turtles everywhere!

2015-12-10_00003.thumb.jpg.605f140c01754

2015-12-10_00002.thumb.jpg.183cbc7b7cd06

2015-12-10_00004.thumb.jpg.16fdffac7e22f

 

Also, explosions were kind of important. Because we like them. There is a reason we called it "Big Momma".

 2015-12-10_00005.thumb.jpg.6b37a98feb8a1

 

Believe it or not. The physics simulation is outstanding. Even a floating tank will sink at some time. But they tend to do this when you need them to float the most. For example when you jump of a bridge on Taviana with them.

And I think it was in the beginning of this year, where Grim allowed me to become... a developer :D 

grim-approved-developer.png.993a5d304e20

 

Oh, do you guys remember Namalsk? It is now kind of screwed by the "Visual Update" of Arma and the author seems to be on a sabbatical year. Remember people saying we wasted too much time on that? Yeah, I have to admit that especially I wasted so many days on that. Both of them.

But what should I say? The ground clutter needed some optimization.

2015-12-19_00003.thumb.jpg.f1428e75689c6

2015-12-20_00081.thumb.jpg.56fb3f0c5549c

2015-12-20_00090.thumb.jpg.da294b341bfae

 

Also the water. Eeeww, the water!

2015-12-20_00097.thumb.jpg.bd7265a2a58a8

2015-12-20_00104.thumb.jpg.e35dcf0b10161

2015-12-20_00106.thumb.jpg.8fc20e0d8d468

 

Well, everything needed optimization. The sky, the buildings, the ground textures. Everything.

2015-12-26_00001.thumb.jpg.c103a8dc0b5ef

2015-12-26_00004.thumb.jpg.26816e47a8f85

2015-12-28_00007.thumb.jpg.28c080e7e0f14

 

Before, the ground textures were meh.. but some time (and dollars) later, they started to look quite okay:

2015-12-28_00015.thumb.jpg.85c80b086f4e3

2016-01-02_00010.thumb.jpg.c865ec34b7356

 

You also remember the fanboy re-making Namalsk in Minecraft? :D 

SrhXusU.thumb.png.a4afb7901332aa9f6e8d8e

 

And yes, Arma never fails to entertain us! :D 

2016-02-21_00001.thumb.jpg.dd99dc4a57c81

 

Physical pop tabs. You can't imagine the PAIN re-doing the default inventory GUI of Arma. Do NOT ask! :D

20160407224156_1.thumb.jpg.610a0aa1baba6

 

Ohh, we are very close to the present!

20160504013114_1.thumb.jpg.c39e6f763ae4b

(No, players, you have not seen this, No no no!)

 

This loading screen. Grim, remember you mentioned I was not cursing so bad since the trader system? Right...

20160605191635_1.thumb.jpg.6598e60c73ada

 

Remember I said "If someone says 'There are too few objects in Exile! There is nothing to build!' I will kill that guy!"? Wait for it.

20160617160015_1.thumb.jpg.4eb6cf54d646a

 

And after at least a year of development, people still cannot pronounce my name :D

Oh, yeah, and for all the haters:

middle-finger-rage-face.gif.496de08d1949

 

Love you, guys! 

And for all the others - I hope you enjoyed that! I have posted only a few of them for now.. :)

I don't even know if I pronounce yours right.

Oh well, I've got the same problem. People call me "Nueva" instead of "Niuva" :D

 

My earliest memory of Exile is when you handed over the wooden construction pieces for me to double check for any fixes or errors. I couldn't really find anything wrong and was baffled that a person who had zero experience with modeling whipped them together.  <3
