We've seen the Left 4 Dead SDK be used to create some truly impressive, zombie-infested levels, but this one might just take the cake. —Griffin McElroy (www.joystiq.com)

Flat period…

Posted by Nicolas in Media, Progress

Tags: , ,

A quick message to tell you that we’re not dead yet. It’s just a flat period… I am working for my master of engineering final exams, Geoffroy is working for his end of the year exams, and Marc is still working hard at Ubisoft while doing his best to focus on the campaign each evening.

Louis fears the dark

We don’t have any release date for the moment, we’d like to focus a bit more on levels and finish this up before we can think of an approximative date. But this will definitely be somewhere this summer (most likely july). Here is an approximative completion percentage for each level of the campaign.

  • Forest: 95%
  • Manor: 85%
  • Underground: 99%
  • Lumberyard: 65%
  • Lakeside: 30%

Stay tuned for more developer banter until the release.

    That’s ok. I’d rather wait for something more finished than rushed.

    God luck with your exams. :)

    We’ve waited 10 year for the Duke to show up again. We are very patient :D. 5 years of development is ok, but after that … ;)

    Wow, july promises to be an exciting month for L4d fans.

    So there is no need for the release of the formal SDK for l4d for we to be able to play new campaigns?

    Good luck. I know how you feel, I'm at the end of my program as well; studying for finals and working on my demo reel.

    Good luck, may you all do well and i look forward to the release.

    I just hope that this campaign will also work with L4D 2.

    Looking good, I like your environments and style. Glad to see there are more developers of full blown campaigns who are actually taking time to plan and study the engine in depth to ensure a complete and fully playable release.

    I look forward to new information, i hope the old survivors will be available to use in L4D2.
