‘The Hum’ Resumes Development, ‘Abductions’ Put on Hold

Remember Totwise Studios’ The Hum: Abductions? Don’t be surprised, as it’s been in development for a while. A long while. Well, the man behind the project, Ariel Arias, has posted a little update on The Hum: Abductions, as well as just what’s going on with his ambitious project.

It turns out that The Hum: Abductions (which is a separate project to another game Arias is working on called The Hum) was put on hold due to personal issues. Also, due to Arias being the only one working on the games’ development, he’s had to postpone development of Abductions (though it’s still on Steam Greenlight) and focus solely on The Hum. As well, he’s switched The Hum project over to Unity from Unreal.

Now obviously, Unreal is the more graphically-impressive engine, but as Arias puts it, “aslong [sic] as the game feel good, I know you will be happy too”. Plus, Arias has posted a couple of progress videos on the development of The Hum since its restart, which you can find on his blog. No word yet on when The Hum will make its way onto Steam, but Arias still hopes to have it for PC and PlayStation 4.

Thanks to RelyOnHorror for the heads up!

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.
