‘The Hum’ Kickstarter Cancelled, Development in Limbo
Despite an immensely promising concept and a general need for more horror games that try to make aliens scary again, the crowdfunding campaign for The Hum will soon be cancelled by its developer, Ariel Arias. The decision was made after the campaign failed to gain enough traction to come anywhere close to its ambitious $250,000 (NZD) goal. At the time of this writing, it’s raised a little over $10,000. It’s disappointing seeing a game like this fail to find the audience it deserves, but despite this setback, Arias is still hopeful about the project’s future.
I will keep working on all this as I’ve been doing it for almost all my life,” Arias wrote in a post on the game’s Kickstarter page. “I really want to bring my ideas and all The Hum Universe to you in the better way, so I’m putting a lot of effort on it.”
I hope The Hum is given the chance to be fully realized, because we’re in desperate need a good alien horror game.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
