Dead Before Dawn, The Left 4 Dead campaign tribute to the movie remake of George Romero's Dawn of the dead is now available as full VPK release for you to play.

This release fixes plenty of bugs and adopts many of the community's suggestions as gameplay improvements. We hope that you have fun playing it as much as we had fun making it.

If you're here following this mod for a while, you know we went trough several stages in development, released an unfinished beta to get your thoughts and then decided how we should streamline the experience to be pleasant for everybody.

You can also download the end result (minus some public fixes we might implement in the future) on:

Important:
L4D1 requires that you do not forget to use the console command snd_rebuildaudiocahce ingame after you installed the campaign, or else you will not hear our custom content.

If you want to read all about the fixes we have done the last 8 months, you can read the post on our developers forum

Please don't forget to consider voting for this campaign, as this is 95% more the version we intended to release last year.

To close this off, we are currently hard at work for an L4D2 version as well but don't expect that to go public before at least mid October. Next week we will have a surprise in this matter so you might want to check back regularly!

Signing off and don't forget to have fun with the campaign!
