‘System Shock’ Kickstarter Ends With $1.35M
Night Dive Studios has wrapped up its tremendously successful crowdfunding campaign, which the developer launched on Kickstarter in order to fund a remake of the 1994 survival horror game System Shock. I’m fairly certain that SHODAN isn’t capable of experiencing or understanding the spectrum of human emotion, and that’s too bad, because this bit of news could’ve introduced her to some of the better ones. That’s alright, this is an achievement for humanity.
The $1,350,700 that was raised in the first round — there will be another, and I hope they call it the Hacker Backer campaign — was enough to unlock the campaign’s first three stretch goals, unlocking support for Mac, Linux and Razer Chroma, as well as French, Italian, German, and Spanish language support. We can also look forward to additional locations, new crew members, and an expanded narrative.
With this, Night Dive Studios has successfully reignited our interest in the decades-old System Shock series, and that’s obviously going to be hugely beneficial for the remake when it arrives in late 2017. It’s also equally fantastic for System Shock 3, which is currently being developed by OtherSide Entertainment.
And here’s a message from the digital goddess herself:
Is anyone else suddenly worried we done goof’d?
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.
