Creating large-scale, authentic and consistent landscape environments for milsim and survival games requires the employment of methods uncommon in the gaming industry. In Bohemia Interactive, the game worlds in size of hundreds of square kilometers providing the gaming environment for its Arma mil-sim series and DayZ survival MMO were developed with help of geodata and geoinformatics. The session highlights why and how the geodata have been used in Bohemia Interactive's particular virtual landscapes and discusses the ways to alter real-life landscapes to comply with the gameplay requirements.
