‘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.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
