Developer Bohemia Interactive has announced a big update for one of its smallest games.

The Czech Republic-based developer on Wednesday released patch notes for the latest update for MiniDayZ, the free, 2D version of the open-world game originally launched in 2014.

Among other things, the update features a number of fixes and introduces a crafting mechanic. You can see the full MiniDayZ 1.2.0 changelog below.

MiniDay Z is single-player game where you explore Chernarus from a top-down perspective, searching for the food and supplies you need to stay alive, fighting zombies, and watching out for other survivors. The game was created by a fan with Bohemia Interactive’s blessing.

It’s played in-browser and is available exclusively from Bohemia Interactive’s online store, so you’ll need to create a free account in order to get it.

As for the real DayZ, it recently crossed 3 million in sales. In addition to extensive support for the PC edition, a console version of the game is also in the works for PlayStation 4, and probably Xbox One, too.
