DAWN OF THE DEAD Mod for Max Payne Overview, Features & Progress feature

DAWN OF THE DEAD

Max Payne mod | TBD

This is a T.C for MAX PAYNE 1 that I'm working on that's based on the 1978 Zombie Horror classic DAWN OF THE DEAD. I'm trying to stick to the movie as closely as the MP1 engine will allow me & I'm also using a DIRECTORS CUT version of the movie for refferance. This T.C has the same story, weapons, characters, music & green skinned zombies as the original movie, & just like the movie you have to shoot the zombies in the head to kill them. Also any weapons that became avalible to characters in the movie will also become avalible to them in this T.C & at the same time & places in the plot.

This is a Total Conversion mod for the Max Payne 1 engine that i'm working on that's based on the 1978 Zombie Horror Classic DAWN OF THE DEAD. With this mod i'm trying to stick as closely as I can to the movies storyline as the MP1 engine ( MaxED ), will allow me too. I'm also using an uncut DVD version of the movie as a refferance.

This T.C has the same story, weapons, characters, music & green skinned zombies as the original movie & just like in the movie you will have to shoot the zombies in the head to kill them.

Also, any weapons that became avalible to characters in the movie will also become avalible to them in this T.C & at the same time & places in the plot & other characters such as police & gang members will also use the same weapons that they used in the movie. However, the main characters will only be able to pick up & use the dropped weapons used by these characters if they themselves used them in the movie, & because i'm sticking to the movies original weapons I've also had to drop a few of the default MP1 weapons that were used in the original game but there are 7 New weapons included in this mod which may or may not be for the players use, they are as follows:

(1) 44 Magnum ( used by the Player & Bad Guys )

(2) Colt 45 Revolver ( used by the Player & Bad Guys )

(3) Flare ( used by an N.P.C in a cutscene only )

(4) Sword ( used by a Bad Guy only )
