‘Vampyr’ Devs talk Art and Mood in Latest Dev Diary
Picking up from last week, Dontnod Entertainment have released their second developer diary entitled “Architects of the Obscure”. While this entry continues the art vein of the previous, this time the devs focus on the artistic choices involved in bringing to life a vampire in war-torn streets of London in the midst of the Spanish Flu epidemic.
The episode goes into the four London districts that are in the game (Whitechapel, the East End docks, the Hospital, and the West End), and the choices made in each to convey the particular tones in gameplay. Also included is input from the game’s composer, Olivier Deriviere, whose industrial soundtrack is meant to invoke the lonliness that the game’s protagonist, Dr. Jonathan Reid, would feel inside a living city like London. Having the game take place at night also plays into this, as well.
The more I see of this game, and how much thought goes into the presentation, the more I can’t wait for this to finally drop. There’s still no firm 2018 release date, but as soon as it hits…
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.
