‘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?
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.
