DEAD CRY is a Total Conversion Singleplayer Mod playable through the Far Cry 3 Map Editor after installing mod and map files. The campaign will consist of multiple singleplayer missions very much inspired by games like Left4Dead, but with a Far Cry twist to them. The maps are all built from the ground up using assets at hand. Dead Cry will not merely be a bunch of maps or a mod alone though. It's as close to a completely new game as you can get. The campaign will include an immersive soundtrack, cinematic cutscenes, custom sound effects and voiceover work. Dead Cry is set to be released around Q3 2014 and is currently in Open Beta. You'll find trailers and gameplay down below. This page will be updated regularly.

Suggestion: standart machete instead of that strange jagger
Question: how do you want to use custom sounds, music and cutscenes in your campaign?

Machete doesn't seem to work right now, I might be wrong, will be checking it out!

There have been multiple mods incorporating custom sfx. For now though, the idea is to provide a video with each level including cutscenes, objectives and the ingame soundtrack. You'll simply run the video and keep it running in the background while playing through the level. However, I am researching alternative ways to use audio ingame.

Will this campaign include metro (subway) level?

Good question. I could definitely build one. The real question is would you really go into a subway tunnel during a zombie apocalypse?

Almost every post-apocalypse project has "subway" part, as far as I remember. Don't know if this can be a part of your story:) People think that this place pretty safe, radiation does not affect subway, don't really know)

I will take the challenge! Third level will be partially in the metro. :)

woulden't it be better if the *Zombies* where a bit slower but bigger in numbers otherwise its more like *Infected rather then Zombies*

Well then again that's what i love about true zombies slow & shambling Zombies but hordes of em =)

Or have two types of *zombies*
1 Walkers *slow & shambling but always in hordes
2 Runners*Infected* fast and armed with Machete and loud
if you got a infected on you all zombies in the area will hear the infected and attack you in hordes
while if a *walker would detect you will be fine as long as you don't use any Loud weapons to kill *

well it's just some ideas soo what do you think GC_Vos?=

Can you try to make new NPCs? It would be cool to have walking dead style zombies.

How about FEAR CRY for the new name...

Unfortunately, I cannot change the existing character models.

Fear Cry is not a bad name, it will be in our list of possible titles. :)

Suggestions:
*Stand Alone Version in the Future?
*Less bullets , Less Guns
*Guns will be found in the Gun store, Police Station or in the Guard House, near in Dead Bodies which will have 1 bullet or more?? . (i think)
*More dead Bodies!!! wooo! thats pretty disgusting! hahaha
* Subway level, Office Level, driving Level
* No Map , Just Compass
* Objectives
* Building defense? *sum kind of defending the building from 200 or 500 zombies
* Custom GUI :) }

i hope you'll find sum awesome ideas!
*sry 4 may vad enlgish

Thanks for your ideas! I wish we could make a standalone but that aint likely to happen. We are working on the minimap, check out our features. ;)

Great work! This is exactly what I've been waiting for! Gosh, its such a shame though that you cant change the NPC models, that seems to be the only thing that you could improve at this point. Also, what kind of zombies use machetes...? No offense intended, of course.

There's a slim chance I might be able to change some textures. Making them completely black would solve the biggest problem. Ziggy is now also helping with the mod, hoping he can figure out some of this stuff as well. Machetes will stay I think, they can't attack you if they have no weapon.

Have a look at the tutorial page, it's a bit more extensive. :) Moddb.com

Those IGE files do not exist if you haven't used the editor before. Once loaded up you can go to file and manually load the level.
