‘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.

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.
