Nuclear Dawn is a modification for Valve’s Source engine that combines visceral and violent First Person Shooter action with fast-paced Real Time Strategy in the aftermath of an apocalyptic war. You can choose the mission or lead the attack as a commander, marshalling resources and deploying weapons and equipment for your team to use.
You can storm a building as an assault trooper, cling to the shadows and rely on your active camouflage as a stealth, or unleash terrible firepower from a powered suit of exo-armor. You have the responsibility and the power to decide the outcome of every engagement. If your opponents are lucky there will be enough of them left to bury.
Although we have been around for a long time, this mod is still in active development, and the development team is breaking its collective back on getting this mod to you as soon as possible. Stay tuned !

In this week's media release we profile mapper and environmental artist, Henning "sa74n" Horstmann and take a look at his main piece for Nuclear Dawn, nd_japan.
We have a lot of talented and experienced members working on the mod, and for many of them that experience has come via previous modding endeavors. sa74n has an impressive portfolio of work: he started off making custom maps for Counter-Strike and The Specialists before later moving on to Destiny and Half-Life: Nightwatch before joining Nuclear Dawn. It just goes to show that in modding there's no substitute for sticking at what you do best and seing your projects through to the end.
...and even after a whopping 18 months on the team, that's exactly what sa74n's doing! Despite being picked up by Splash Damage, he has vowed to stick with ND for the foreseeable future. For details on sa74n's work for Nuclear Dawn and some of the media we haven't shown on the main site, please visit his portfolio and to see more screens and the full developer profile direct yourself, as usual, to:

This mod is so amazing..I just don't know where to begin. Oh and Cheapo713? If they were procrastinating and taking this thing lightly then yes I would respond how you would but good things come in time. I would much rather have an overdue classic rather than some rushed POS that makes you go.. "(sigh)... .... .. that was... ok..I guess.." when your done playing it. Seriously. Just wait. It looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! I think that they might still be trying to squeeze some more things and polish it just a tinch....more. Then they'll release it...right guys?
Excellent design! I love the art style. I hope after this mod is finished you think about starting a full game with a singleplayer story-line. Maybe you'll land a deal with some company and will be able to produce something for retail.
I'm about 99.9% sure we'll have a public release for you in 2007. If all goes well it could easily be as little as 3-4 months away. We only have the UI (making pretty, intuitive and interective menus and HUD), the level design (2-3 extra maps), some animation and general balance tweaks to finish before we can release this to the general public, for free. Hopefully it will all go smoothly. :)
Ahh!
I remember seeing this mod a while back, glad to see it again being updated. To me this game looks the best so far in Moddb, keep it up guys.
Tu bad its only for mutiplayer
