Boxhead

Boxhead is the complete packaged edition of the DAI-powered arcade survival experience, combining the DAI Engine, Boxhead gameplay systems, and the full HD visual package into one ready-to-play modpack.

Enter a sealed battleground, survive increasingly dangerous waves of infected, earn cash from kills, purchase stronger weapons and ammunition, repair your defenses, and push your run as far as you can.

Five Survival Arenas

Create a Boxhead world using one of five distinct battlegrounds:

• Box Town
• Boxlaska
• Sky Scraper
• The Space
• Village Box

Each arena can be combined with its own survival rules when the world is created.

Three Game Modes

Casual Paradise

A more forgiving Boxhead experience with keep-inventory support and manual respawning.

Infinite Dead

Death does not immediately end the campaign, allowing players to continue fighting through an endless survival run.

Last Breath

The high-stakes mode.

When the surviving team is gone, the run is over.

Endless Infected Waves

Boxhead uses an escalating infinite-wave system that continuously increases pressure as the run progresses.

Fight four custom infected archetypes:

• Zombie
• Mangled
• Mutant
• Giant

Later waves introduce increasingly dangerous enemy combinations, with Giants becoming major threats to both players and arena defenses.

Custom Firearms

Fight back using fully custom DAI-powered weapons:

• Pistol
• Pump Shotgun
• Hand Cannon

Weapons feature their own ammunition, projectile behavior, recoil timing, damage characteristics, impact feedback, and custom 3D presentation.

High-speed DAI projectile simulation keeps firearm combat responsive even inside Boxhead's compact arenas.

Survival Economy

Every infected kill earns cash.

Different enemies provide different rewards, while clearing waves grants additional survival bonuses.

Spend your earnings through the DAI Survival Console on:

• Weapons
• Light ammunition
• Shotgun shells
• Heavy ammunition
• Barricade repairs
• Reinforced defenses

Your survival run becomes an ongoing balance between firepower, ammunition, and keeping your defenses alive.

Destructible Barricades

The infected can attack and damage arena defenses.

Barricades can be repaired and reinforced throughout the run, but increasingly powerful enemies will tear through them faster as the waves escalate.

Live Survival HUD

Keep track of the run through a persistent Boxhead HUD displaying:

• Cash
• Current wave
• Living infected
• Total kills

The full Boxhead Survival Console can also be accessed during gameplay through the configured DAI experience controls.

Complete HD Presentation

The included Boxhead Resource Pack provides the complete authored visual experience.

Custom Infected

Dedicated models and HD materials are included for:

• Zombie
• Mangled
• Mutant
• Giant

Custom Weapons & Ammunition

Boxhead includes detailed 3D presentation for:

• Pistol
• Pump Shotgun
• Hand Cannon
• Light rounds
• Heavy rounds
• Shotgun shells
• Spent casings
• Bullets and shotgun projectiles

Weapons include dedicated firing states, custom materials, muzzle effects, and synchronized projectile presentation.

Powered by DAI Engine 3.3

Boxhead is built as a complete DAI experience rather than a collection of unrelated gameplay mods.

DAI provides the runtime systems behind:

• Custom experience creation
• Automatic world setup
• Custom entities
• Native entity events
• Firearm input
• Projectile simulation
• Custom interfaces
• Persistent saves
• Survival progression
• Data-driven gameplay
• Custom title and experience screens

The modpack automatically installs the complete supported Boxhead stack:

DAI Engine + Boxhead Data + Boxhead Resource

Install the pack, create your Boxhead experience, choose your arena and survival mode, and start fighting.

The dead never stop.
