Dead By Daylight | ALIEN | Gameplay Concept 

Welp, it's real now, guys! Very excited to see how BHVR handles the actual chapter. This concept was faaaaarrr from perfect, being our first and all, and I'm sure they'll do a significantly better job than whatever you see in the video. Hopefully we'll get Predator one day, too...?

Ive said it a long time, Id love the Xenomorph to be in the game

I don't know what angers me more. The fact that this guy isn't on the dev's team, or that this isn't a real chapter. I mean, this shit is actually incredible

Me coming back to this video after the announcement 😁 so excited for the official chapter

Honestly, the fact he went through the effort to not only add the model, but the music, sounds, background, backstory and perks is quite possibly the best fan made chapter I have ever seen. Incredible detail and really well made

We wont forget this, even if there's an official version on the way.

The map is actually looks scary: dark and REALLY froggy. I want it in game.

No one is giving you enough credit for the coal tower map holy shit. I really wish that's how the maps in game would look, they actually feel like a horror game

I feel like if you’re gonna do Alien, catching a character and hanging them should place them in front of an Ovimorph, and when they run out of time, they are attacked by a facehugger and let go. That’s the downside the Xenomorphs OP speed and such. Character who loose get to keep playing on a timer, then a chestburster comes out and behaves like a scout to help you spot players.

Demogorgon: "You stole my animations and models, didn't you?"

MUSIC COMPOSER HERE AND HOLY S**T!!!! THIS IS REALLY AN IMPRESSIVE AND AMAZING JOB!!!! YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE A REALLY BIG... BIG!!!! TALENT! Let me share this golden piece of art into my channel!

A guy making better concepts, music and main menu environment than a team of over 300 people

Take notes, behavior. This is how you make Dead by Daylight succeed.

This is one of my favorite dbd concepts I've ever seen. I especially like the perk ideas, particularly Isolating Dread and Hex: Stowaway. In terms of the power though, the main problem I see is the Maiming Rake ability. It seems a bit overpowered, especially if you use Hunt first, so you know exactly where nearby survivors are before charging at them with almost no hit cooldown. Having survivors hear a distant terror radius no matter how close you are while in your power is a great idea, and really reflects the tense atmosphere and feelings of constant danger that the Xenomorph's presence creates in the movies. I have a few ideas for possible other abilities: Before I get into my suggestions, I would start by changing the power recovery time to 30 seconds (the default recharge of ghost face's night shroud) as opposed to 50. This will make more sense when I explain my ideas. 1) Crawl: While skulking, press the active ability button (default ctrl on PC) to drop onto all fours and crawl. This would replace Hunt as the Active Ability, and Hunt's effect would instead trigger automatically upon entering skulk, without needing to expend 30% of your gauge. While crawling, you move slower and cannot attack, but are harder to see and make significantly less noise. Your eye level is about that of Pig crouching and whatever sounds the alien itself would make (i.e. hissing or growling) are silenced. Your footsteps are barely audible, if at all. The only sounds survivors hear that indicate your presence would be rustling grass or cawing crows. Press the active ability button again while crawling to stand up. Standing up takes about the same time as Pig uncrouching. This keeps survivors constantly on their toes, scanning the area around them and checking the underbrush for movement. 2) Sting (special attack): while in skulk mode, your basic attack is replaced by a thrust of the Alien's barbed tail. Hitting a survivor with sting will injure them and inject acid into the wound, applying the mangled status effect and briefly stunning them. This stun would be similar to being hit by the doctor's shock, where it would interrupt whatever they are doing, as well as prevent them from performing any other actions (i.e. vaulting, dropping pallets or unhooking other survivors) for a brief moment. Pressing and holding the attack button increases the range of the attack, allowing the Alien to hit survivors through windows and over pallets (a fully wound-up sting would reach over approximately 1.5 - 2 downed pallets). The Alien will telegraph the move briefly, allowing for survivors to avoid it if they can react fast enough. A successful sting would deactivate Lethal Lifeform and empty the power gauge completely. Lethal Lifeform remains active until either a survivor is hit by sting, or the power is manually cancelled (which depletes the power gauge by 50%). This is why I recommend making the power recovery shorter, so you won't have to wait almost a full minute for it to recharge after a hit. 3) Wall cling: One of the Xenomorph's well known strengths is its supernatural agility. While facing a nearby wall, tap the power button to grab onto it and scurry to the top. The Alien can move freely along the wall, and can climb through windows and doorways. While on a wall, its moments are silent, but its hissing/growling is still somewhat audible to nearby survivors. Tap the power button while on a wall to let go and drop to the surface below. The Alien cannot attack while on a wall. That last one may be a bit much, but I'd LOVE to see a killer that can walk on walls. Anyway, thanks for reading my wall of text. I hope you like my ideas :)

DUDE THEY EVEN ADDED THE WHOLE RUNNING ON ALL FOURS THATS SO COOL MAN

Not gonna lie you should be at behavior studio by now Edit: wow ok I never had 500 likes like this before like my channel did on 1k subs

Ok so everyone is talking about alien is the 7th anniversary chapter of dbd if that happens his power must be excellent better mori and bass kit Edited: I feel so I was right, now here we are!

The blight & legion: Who are you? Alien:Im you but OP

The Dev be like: "Best I can do is-" *slapped the trickster "K-pop"

We did it boys, Alien will be here

I really love the map and the weather sounds. We seriously need a stormy map like this.

What people want: xenomorph What we got: angry BTS rejected member

Well this aged well

I LITERALLY KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THIS SHOULD BE THE NEXT LICENSED CHAPTER, Ripley would be a perfect survivor and an interior ship map with vents would be dope. Sure it may be similar to Demogorgon's portals but it's still a fun idea

we made it.

2 years later its happening

That’s really looks good. The map looks really scary cause of the fog and the rain. The sound ist superb. Really hope the devs will watch it and make something of it and give the actual game a little more horror touch. They could easily add some weather elements like rain and thunder into the game.

better than behaviour can do lmfao

I think we all know why we’re here

bruh the fact that its so dark and everything,makes it even more terrifying and im loving it

It's funny HOW UNDERRATED YOUR WORK IS

This aged well

I was always wondering how they'd make the Xenomoprh sufficiently different from the Demogorgon who feels like a very similair character. This is a very cool spin on things!

omg those thunders and ligth, also the gameplay.. everything, this looks so real, like official..

Now its finally real

Bro had a vision

And now they’re actually adding alien to the game

Holy shit this is amazing! Imagine if this is the next licensed chapter lol.

When 1 guy is better than the entire bhvr development team.

Quite honestly i might prefer this concept to what we got. Maybe replacing the hiss detection with the tunnels would be fun but as it stands the tail attack just doesn’t feel like the xenomorph

Now, They really came into DBD.

Ok.. this is incredible. Bhvr needs to see this, your talent is out of this world 😉 I’ve always said this would be a GREAT chapter! Please make a Pinhead concept if you ever get the chance ❤️

The music at 0:16 sounds like the sensor in Alien isolation thats dope

Well, this aged like a fine wine

Time to see how close you got it lol

Now ladies and gents we see a real talent here! You definitely got my vote mate. Amazing job!

This aged like fine wine.

When a bunch of guys can do a better job than a team of 300.

I love how the game lags a bit at the start. Really makes it feel reall

Crazy to come back here after playing ptb for this

And two years later your concept came true.

Who here after they announced ailen because im so HYPED

I thought this was real for a second.

And now we actually getting a alien chapter 😭💯

You're gonna be very happy Rarithlynx

I love this I hope to see this in the game sometime. This and your Springtrap one are amazing would love to see what you’d do with Jason or The Thing.

wow 2 years ago you release this and look now for chapter 29 i’m hyped

dude is a time traveler

ARE YOU KIDDING ME DUIDE?????? THIS DESERVER MIILIIONS OF VIEWS I'M NOT JOKING YOU'RE AN ACTUAL GOD HOLY

bro predicted the future

When the players make a better job than the devs.

in a few days it might just be possible to remove the "concept" from the title

AND NOW IT’S REAL BABY 🎉

Since you used the protomorph instead xenomorph i think they should add the protomorph from alien covenant. That would also be interesting

ITS WAS REAL! 🎉

Who’s here after the reveal trailer??

My broo everything predicting

This type of atmosphere needs to be in nearly every outdoor map. The lighting and everything is amazing. Just sucks we have these brightened maps in a horror game right now and I can see the Killer across the map...really scary! Awesome work though, people don't know the time and effort that goes into stuff like this, hope BHVR looks at this and can take some inspiration from somewhere!

Well, it's oficial now 🗿🚬

You have to be some psychic oracle who can see through the future of dbd.

Somebody send this to dbd's twitter

2 years later and its actually here, how insane is that

Coming back because Alien is coming!!

This concept looks 10 times better visually than any chapter they have released so far

Now this is clearly forshadowing and making sense

Resident Evil concept with nemesis?

ALIENS OFFICALY COMING BOIS

Well that aged fine lile wine did it not?

THEY DID IT

I like how he added Springtrap too among the other killers

I dont like how the ability doesnt include any of the cool infection things like the chestbursters or the facehuggers or the eggs. Thats what makes the killer unique and its missing that in this showcase

This ended like fine wine

This is god tier effort they need to hire u

It's interesting seeing the differences between this and the released version

Who’s here after watching the teaser

i thought of this immediately when the real chapter got released, crazy

Really hope the power is at least similar. Wanted the Xenomorph ever since first seeing this. Maybe they can let it climb walls and cling onto them to become undetectable and attack with its tail too

The prophecy has been fulfilled!

Rarithlynx to everyone who watched this concept years ago after finally having Alien become canon to DBD: " *They called me a madman* "

as always the community for this game is too good.

looks just like the Demogorgon, how it moves how its attack is its animation too when in the menu thingy

This is real now

Gonna be my second killer main when he comes out

This concept is amazing! Although instead of calling the Xenomorph the Alien I think the Xenomorph would fit better.

I dont even want to think about how long this took to make. But if an update came out for dead by daylight right now, i hopped on and this is what i saw, id honestly think this was an official release from dead by daylight. everything about this is executed to perfection so congrats

I would really like to see self-made gameplay for Springtrap

It finally came a reality!

Legion: Am I a joke to you?

And we finally got this

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!!
