DayZ just gave Steam profiles a lot more personality

Bohemia Interactive added animated avatars, backgrounds, frames, and emotes tied to DayZ maps and in-game movement.

DayZ has expanded its Steam Point Shop with a fresh batch of community items built for profile customization. The lineup includes animated avatars, animated backgrounds, animated profile frames, and animated emotes.

The new items stay close to DayZ’s visual style. The frames pull from the game’s three maps and from character progression and playstyle, while the avatars use actions and emotes that already exist in the game.

Emotes are the loosest part of the set, with a hand-drawn look that leans more playful than the rest of the bundle. DayZ also added its familiar friendly wiggle, along with the Chicken Wiggle.

Each map also gets two animated backgrounds. The team pointed to Livonia Rain, Sakhal’s snow, and Chernarus’s bleak tone, and said one Chernarus background, Rest in the Mountains, is still waiting on submission. It also said it has something planned for Nasdara, but is holding that back until DayZ Badlands launches.
