Dead Before Dawn features Crossroads Mall as a replica of the mall in the movie, Dawn of the Dead. Originally created for the HL2 Mod, No More Room in Hell but has since been undergoing major changes to be ported to Valve's Left 4 Dead.

It will take roughly 6-8 weeks before Darth_Brush can afford another computer and this will drastically delay the release of Dead Before Dawn. If you have some spare cash, please donate so we can buy Darth_Brush a new computer in Germany so we can release the campaign on schedule.

We are planning on releasing the campaign on Halloween, if we can get Darth_Brush a new computer/laptop in a week or 2, we will be able to stick to our goal. Please spread the news if you can't donate, maybe someone else you know can donate. To donate, please click on the Paypal link to the left of this article or send donations to admin@l4dmods.com.

If we can get Darth_Brush a new computer in time, we will release never before seen footage of the campaign in versus mode. We have been working our fingers to the bone for the fans of versus mode and we are confident that you will love the versus campaign of Dead Before Dawn.

If we do not collect enough money for a new computer, we will return each and every donation received. While we're on this topic, what do you think is a reasonable PC to use for mapping and playing Left 4 Dead?

To say thank you for all the people who donated, we decided to give everyone who donated $10 or more their own wall writing in the game. Now you, the player can search the campaign for your very own Easter Egg.

Erik and Stefanie donated and will have their names carved into a tree:
"Erik & Stefanie 4Eva" with 2 dead bodies on the ground next to the tree.

UPDATE!!!|

Hi guys! Just to let you know, we have now enough money to buy a PC. Darth_Brush scraped some money together that his wife won't know about (lol). He donated 200USD to the cause himself.

I am now just waiting for him to send his address over to me so I can finalize the payment of the PC. Donations are always welcome, but from now on, there's no need unless you really feel like you want your name in the campaign.

I personally want to thank each and everyone one who donated, wether you donated 1c (yes, someone actually did) or if you donated $100 (some people did). It always makes you proud to be a part of a community that helps eachother up when we have fallen down.

I would also like to tell you guys, that the guys who donated $50 or more will now be included into the Beta Testing team. You trusted us with your money, we will trust you with our campaign.

Again, thank you so much for all your help! I will post an article on www.L4DMods.com when we have the PC assembled and ready!

Come Halloween, you can do some Easter Egg hunting to find your name in the game!

There are A LOT of much better campaigns, this one is just disappointing. I can't believe it took 2 years to be released, in the end it was just HYPE and nothing more. Plus, it's not even a VPK file and the finale is still missing. Rate 4/10.

I guess they must have spent all that time making custom content to hide how lame the mod was.

You know what would be funny, if his comp never actually broke. This whole mod might just be another "Knights of the Farce". He could have just made this turd to get a few hundred dollars out of it.

When you actually have the luxury of playing the mod it is very fun, but this mofo crashes more than Garry's mod 9. As I said, actually playing is a luxury.

Also, Darth Brush, thanks for ruining my Left 4 Dead, it crashes now on Valve campaigns. Thanks.
