Communication
A named point of contact on both sides. We use email and Discord for day to day work; larger projects get milestone check ins.
Company
How we work
Monarch is built for DayZ server owners and communities who want more than off the shelf assets. Whether you commission a single weapon line or need software and ops across multiple wipes, we follow the same disciplined process: scope first, build on our pipelines, then support what goes live.
Process
Our process
Four stages from brief to live support. Each step has defined outputs so you know what happens when.
01
Brief & scope
We start with your ruleset, player count, wipe calendar, and what you need live by a fixed date or season. No guesswork on who owns what.
- Discovery call or written brief: goals, references, and constraints
- Clear scope: mods, configs, software, ops, or a mix
- Timeline with milestones aligned to your wipe or launch
- Written estimate and delivery plan before build starts
02
Design & prototype
We shape the work against your economy and server identity before full production. You see direction early, not only at the end.
- Balance notes and config structure agreed with your admins
- Early assets or UI mockups where it helps decision making
- Internal test environment, not your live server
- Checkpoints for feedback before we lock the full pack
03
Build, test & handoff
Mods, PBOs, panels, and tooling are built on Monarch pipelines with QA suited to DayZ updates and workshop constraints.
- Packaged deliverables with install notes for your team
- Workshop or private distribution as scoped
- Regression pass after game patches when included in support
- Documentation for admins and developers on your side
04
Deploy & iterate
We help you go live, watch real player usage, and patch what matters: events, economy drift, or performance, without restarting the project.
- Deployment support for first wipe or launch window
- Hotfixes for critical issues in an agreed response window
- Seasonal updates and balance passes for retained clients
- Optional ongoing ops via Monarch Software or hosting (when available)
Audience
Who we work with
_01 Built around your ruleset Communities with a defined ruleset, economy, and wipe rhythm. You need custom content or tooling that fits how you actually run the server, not a generic pack dropped in blind. Typical needs: weapon platforms, item integration, admin panels, launch support for a new season. Server owners & creators
_02 Monarch in the wild If you play on Operation Monarch or partner servers, you experience the output of this process: events, wipes, and releases shaped by the same team.

Standards
What to expect
Testing
We test on our side first. You still validate on a staging slot or test server before production; we document what we need from you.
Timelines
Realistic dates based on scope. Rush work is possible but changes cost and queue position; we say that upfront in the brief.
