The server needed a strong public identity before launch — somewhere players could follow development, understand the world, read rules, and stay connected without relying on scattered Discord posts.

Project Ashes
A branded Project Ashes site built with Next.js to serve as the public hub for build progress, launch prep, rules, and community announcements.
The site presents the custom DayZ vision with launch tracking, build phases, system highlights, rules and support routes, dev updates, and Discord/community CTAs in one polished experience.
