Dead Fortress: Director's Cut - Part Three [SFM]

#tf2 #sourcefilmmaker #animation
After six years, the story continues - and gets a whole new ending.
The Sniper and Spy have fought hordes of undead and narrowly escaped a burning building, but they've finally made it to the end of Pipeline. However, with only traces of other survivors and no means of escape in sight, they're forced to push forward into a deserted metal plant. Of course, "deserted" may not be entirely accurate...
The third and final part of Dead Fortress: Director's Cut replaces the original's lackluster ending with something slightly more conclusive. What that means is for us to know and you to find out!

I remember how disappointed that there was not another part all those years ago,so happy that I lived to see it continued

[@TheInfectedFilms]

There have been a lot of questions about whether there will be a part 4/some other type of sequel to Dead Fortress, so I'll reveal that now: nope. This entire project has been an exceptional pain in the ass to make, and I have no intention to continue it in the future. I know it's disappointing to some of you, but I simply have no desire to work on this ever again - just like with Moron VS Machine series.

[@bewarious8348]

Just wondering, if ever someone wishes to continue your series, would you allow it? If they got the SFM talent, and the determination to work on it, would that be fine? Do we have to pay for the rights on this project or do you just not want anyone to continue it? Whatever your choice is, this was a really great series and I'm glad you made it and I watched it!

[@TheInfectedFilms]

@@bewarious8348 As long as they clearly state that it's a non-official/fan production and links back to this channel, why not? Ideally that someone would contact us for a written permission first, just so that all bases are covered. As long as the aforementioned (along with any possible separately agreed upon) conditions are met, I don't mind fan works at all (excluding re-uploads, obviously).

[@bewarious8348]

@@TheInfectedFilms Very well. Because me and a bunch of friends are practicing to me SFM animators. And I just want to say, thank you for inspiring me and the rest of my friends. It was an honor watching your beautiful works of animation!

[@TheInfectedFilms]

@@bewarious8348 Good luck! I'd like to say you won't need it, but I'd be lying...

[@bewarious8348]

@@TheInfectedFilms Yeah, IK. I tried making a simple animation for one Sniper, but after 2 weeks, it's still a 9 second stiff animation. But thanks for that! And again, thank you for being one of my favorites SFM TH-camrs in my teenage years!

[@Talion66]

It's been six years... Can't believe so much time has passed, can't wait to see this when it comes out!!!

[@RyujinRoninReach]

The movement looks so natural
Well done on all fronts

[@rick-planew3official498]

I Honestly feel that 5:04 is a Reference to the Left 4 dead escape for Crash Course, and really, spy and sniper really hold the infected pretty well. Nice Job btw!
(Edited: very smooth video too!)

[@TheInfectedFilms]

You are very correct with that feeling - the scene was heavily inspired by the Crash Course finale, as it provided a logical yet dramatic setting for it. The car lift even uses the same sound as the L4D counterpart!

[@user-nj3ni8iu7u]

After almost 6 years, everyone was waiting, and finally got what they wanted. I thought this channel was dead, I started watching your videos a year ago. Thank you for what you do, keep up the good work
And yes, I'm Russian)))

[@felllucas123gaming8]

I congratulate the channel owner for being a true source filmmaker animator. And I would love for you to maybe do a continuation of this series of yours, I loved it.

[@Bulbasaur617]

Wow. This has been a ride in the making. I could definitely see differences from the original. Even the ending is different here. Wonder if we'll actually get another entry of this in the future? It's your choice here. Keep up the fantastic work in your videos here. And take your time making them.

[@TheInfectedFilms]

We have no plans to make any further installations - the whole series has been an absolute pain in the ass to make, and it has only gotten more so with every subsequent part. I'd much rather work on something else in the future.

[@Bulbasaur617]

@@TheInfectedFilms It's fine. As I said, it's your choice. Glad to see that this Director's cut of it is complete.

[@3oviel]

WELL DAMN that was the best movies in SFM 11/10!!!!!!!!

[@rautamiekka]

Glorious 8mins 32s again, your ideas and implementation are improving every time, and I see you finally bit the bullet and used other means of creating custom voice lines, far less cringy and far more fitting, just a shame Spy's mouth never moved, but that's a small thing. Good job :D
Also a shame they had to leave the lockpick there, but it was either that or electrocution.

[@pip6852]

This reminds me of sfm/gmod stuff from 2010 and so on.

I really hope reinforcements show up or at least snipper gets his smg

[@thedoctorairsoft6813]

Very cool

[@raboullesfritas]

Really your most interesting series! The only thing weird is their voices. It's like they didn't clear their throat or something, but it's not important if you can't make it sound better. It's still nicer than using over and over their original voice lines!
If I could help translate this into another language like French, I'd be glad to be help you.

[@TheInfectedFilms]

The AI that was used to create the voice lines tends to sound like that, but it's still far better than what sentence mixing could ever achieve.
Regrettably I can't offer you any payment for your help (I *still* haven't even earned production expenses back for this video), other than a honorary mention in the video description. If you'd like to help with translating the subtitles, I can send the text file to you! Just email me at [e-mail] and I'll help you get started.

[@hornedowl5355]

Till the end boys

[@cursedhawkins1305]

So, I suspect that IF this were to be continued the elephant in the room would become a problem for those two, they didn't even have a quarter tank of gas when they left so they likely would have run out of gas before even reaching those survivors resulting in them having to go on foot and just like in Left 4 Dead be too late to save any survivors.

Sorry i bad spicing English please use Google translate!

Что самое главное я буду ждать продолжения!

[@lancearnold54]

Now do we get A Pair of Moronic Mercenaries 4?

[@TheInfectedFilms]

The future of this channel is currently very unclear; although I originally planned to make APoMM4 next, circumstances have changed and our next video may be the last SFM one we make. That being said, the "finale" video would still be continuation to APoMM 3.
Check out our last two channel posts for a more detailed explanation!

[@blocky4495]

feels good that another animation appearing,
p.s. is sgt. lewis alive?

[@TheInfectedFilms]

Sgt. Lewis is alive, assuming he didn't get buried under a pile of dosh at some point. He'll probably appear again in a future video!

[@christinedavidson1084]

Part 4 please

[@michajozwiak1361]

Hey man, do you have any patreon or something or meaby to donate some TF2 items?

[@TheInfectedFilms]

Due to the legislation in my home country, setting up Patreon without providing something in return would *technically* be illegal. Because of that, I'd most likely have to use something like Channel Memberships for that purpose since they provide some (nominal) benefits in return. I've thought about setting it up, but I'm rather hesitant due to how rare uploads tend to be these days. I definitely appreciate the thought, though!
If you want to donate money, consider one of the relief/assistance funds for Ukraine! Those guys and gals definitely deserve it.
