Haven't played Dying Light, but I might just get it to try out your campaign when it's done.

A dark underground warehouse you say? What could possibly go wrong?

New areas, part of a side quest that takes the player through and beneath a pet food factory in the countryside.

September progress update - fresh batch of screenshots

From the few hours I've played dying light this made me think this was the official map at first for some moments. So amazing to see this hard to give any criticism of any kind. Then again I'm still a bit new so my eyes are untrained.

Thanks.

My aim is to have this custom campaign feel like a continuation of the main game in terms of visuals and story/quest.

Spicing things up and implementing dynamic weather variation/change:

Storm/heavy rain

Cloudy/overcast

Clear/sunny

Hours logged on the developer tools: around 800 hrs and still going

Wow, that’s a lot! More than I played CSGO lol  

You progressed apparently so quickly that I would have never thought you spent all that time developing.

Wish I had the game to play test your campaign

Third and last part of the campaign is underway.

A vineyard and wheat field in the countryside

The third and last part of the campaign is progressing; most of this last map is still barebone WIP but some parts are starting to come alive.

I'm also creating some custom materials/textures with proper blending masks to be used on the terrain. A new side quest is also under planning.

Fall/autumn update

The 3rd and last part of the campaign is progressing steadily. Most of the new areas are being laid out, blocked, and fleshed out. Scripting the final quest is also making good progress.

No solid ETA yet but I'm pushing to have it ready the soonest.

Here's a fresh batch of screenshots showcasing the new WIP areas.

A functional highway system is being built with proper exits, ramps, signage, barriers, tunnels...

One will need the local pharmacy when shitting their pants after a night encounter with an alpha volatile

inspires me to switch from the limited source engine.

But overall, love the screenshots that are showing up.  Great use of detail and each image looks professional!

Hey thanks, nice to see you here on the core 

Once you move on, Source becomes a tedious chore if you ever decide to come back

Major winter update

Substantial progress on this WIP as many new areas are being developed and fleshed out. Development is going smooth and some serious amount of time is going into this project; I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel (dying light pun intended)

New screenshots incoming (still WIP)
