Creation of Arma 3: Epoch Mod started on December 15th 2013, and while community support has had its ups and downs along with the contest it did encourage us to spend more time working on the project. Epoch was a top 10 finalist in the MANW total conversion category and won the popular community vote and that I am very grateful for.
Epoch Development Team are all volunteers and have each put in hundreds if not thousands of unpaid hours into helping create and release Epoch Mod for everyone to enjoy. Making game ready Arma assets, game modes etc. is not easy and can be very time-consuming. Special thanks go to all those that have supported us throughout our development! Epoch Mod would not exist without you!
Plans for next year include working with the community to further refine the MP survival framework and adding more support for singleplayer editor based missions and scenarios. The 1.0 update will bring a massive release of all remaining asset sources under APL-SA, and will be considered in the hands of the community to fork and develop as they choose.
Happy Holidays and New Year! Cheers to the pursuit of the next big thing!

We would certainly consider adding support if someone was willing to contribute the changes needed. While I would like to support every mod, the reality is every additional feature added or mod we support can tend to increase the scope of the project.
Epoch Survival gamemode is Open Source and we do welcome forks and pull requests here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch
