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!

Many thanks to the people who donated already! We cannot say thank you enough for your support. We have decided to say thank you by adding the names of the people who donated $10 or more to the campaign in wall writings.

Hi guys.
We have a new update but unfortunately Stephan is busy on a new project at work this month so has barely enough time to start up his PC. I dont have the login details so cant update this page until hes back, but anyway. Heres a HUGE new update for you. Enjoy
*wont let me include URLs. Just check out the front page of l4dmods.*
Btw anyone see the newest prop vehicle for Crash Course? Looks somewhat familiar to what this mods namesake had in the movie.
Lol you guys are gonna buy him a new pc? Donate for me too! .-.
Jezus christ man. Some people donate 100 or 50 bucks. Is that retarded or just plain retarded?
to each his own, but a donation is a donation. There's no need to call anyone out for that.
hot damn, Can I still donate? id donate 50 bucks, Id love to do the beta test :D
(buried)
Im reporting you to the license golder of Dawn of the Dead for profiting off their license.
My god man. Can you fail anymore?
LOL! There's a difference between a donation and asking for payment to play the campaign. Best of luck to you!
Darth brush and all who are working on this campaign, Im supporting you! This is by far one of the best looking and most creative campaigns i have seen so far. I wish the best on it! DO NOT GIVE UP
