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!

Well firstly it was delayed due to darth_brush having a slow internet connection at about 55 kbps.

Secondly its not going to be released here first its going up on l4dmods first.

Also not sure if anyone here knows it but this release wont have the finale due to it not being completed (its not like they had 4 years to make it or anything).

I'm guessing that's a bit of sarcasm. In which case, no they didn't have 4 years to do a finale...
Anyway, last I read, darth_brush has a slow upload speed like mentioned above, but not only that, the first time he uploaded, the uploads became corrupted or something, then while re-uploading, l4dmods server crashed, and so I guess after trying yet again to re-upload it has crashed on them again, so they are really having a bad run with this release. :( They really should have had more preperation for release. Pretty much a similar thing is happening with the Out of Hell mod release for UT2004 aswell :S

Well it wasn't me who marked it down, I really don't give a crap about the vote system, I don't like it and I believe that it's often abused simply because people don't like anothers opinion which can often bury useful posts. I will however give people a +1 if I feel their post is helpful.

As for the release. It's out now, but as most would have heard, it's a torrent release, and it runs crap slow. For example i'm on 1.5mb connection and was getting 12kb/s after about half an hour of downloading, and then it decreased to about 5kb/s because even more people started leeching.
It'll be nice to know when they upload to moddb!
