Azalea

Solo creator · Terrain, world design & scripting

A volcanic island for DayZ, inspired by São Miguel. Eight biomes, geothermal zones and a custom asset pack, built from heightmap to live world.

From terrain to live world

OLIPOLLYZ is a one-person DayZ studio. The landscape, the places within it and the systems players live with are built together.

  1. Heightmap

    Shape the land around routes, sightlines and the feel of the world.

  2. Masks & satmap

    Build coherent biomes, from distant colour to the ground underfoot.

  3. Assets & POIs

    Give each place a purpose, a readable silhouette and a reason to explore.

  4. Gameplay & live ops

    Test in game, tune for players and support the world after release.
