Built for our own servers first.
DZAI isn't a software company that discovered DayZ. We run private console servers — sixteen of them, across Xbox and PlayStation — and every part of this platform started as a problem we hit on one of them, usually at an hour we'd rather have been asleep.
Years on the admin side of console DayZ.
Sixteen private servers across both platforms, and DayZ Console — our own community. Between them: the tickets, the disputes, the refund arguments, the economy nobody could keep balanced, the factions that needed auditing, and the config files that took the server down on a Friday.
That's the material DZAI is built out of. Not a feature list drawn up in a meeting — a list of things that went wrong often enough that we stopped fixing them by hand.
Every module is a night we didn't get back.
This is the honest version of the roadmap. Nothing here was invented because it would look good on a pricing page.
Four rules we don't bend.
You approve. Always.
Nothing acts on your server on its own. Config changes come to you as a diff. Bans, warnings and compensation come to your admins as proposals. The AI does the work and you make the call — there is no setting that turns that off, because the day it goes wrong you need to be the one who said yes.
Console-native, not ported
This wasn't built for PC servers and squeezed onto console afterwards. It works the way a console server actually works — config in, logs out, Discord in front — with nothing installed on the game server, because nothing can be.
It ships when it works
Nothing goes out because a deadline said so. A module lands when it holds up on our own servers, and not before — we'd rather be late than have you explain a broken promise to your players.
Your server, not a shared roadmap
When you describe a feature and it gets built, it belongs to your server. It isn't a request in a queue everyone votes on, and it doesn't have to be useful to anyone else to be worth building.
We're the first ones who have to live with it.
DayZ Console is our own community, and it's where new systems get used first. If something is slow, confusing or wrong, the people telling us so are people we talk to every day — not a support address.
It's a useful filter. A feature that survives its own community tends to survive yours.
New systems run on our servers and in our community before they go near anyone else's.
The feedback loop is a Discord channel, not a quarterly survey. Bad ideas get found in days.
The box, the hours, the 2am messages. Every design decision here was made by someone who was carrying them.
Built by operators. For operators.
AI support, an app for your players, an economy and factions that run themselves, a staff panel that decides — and any feature you can describe.
