We previously brought you news about alien-invasion title The Hum from Thotwise Games back in May. A horror game about alien invasions with stealth mechanics, an ominous humming noise, and support for the Oculus Rift was hard not to get excited about, and a lot has happened for The Hum since then. Not to mention the fact that the space ship up there looks an awful lot like the Reapers from Mass Effect, which were awesome in their own right.
The game has been greenlit on Steam and the developers have now launched a Kickstarter. The money raised from the Kickstarter campaign will go towards supporting the team full time, and really just helping them create the best game that The Hum can be, using professional 3D modelling, adding an additional programmer, and even helping to put the game on more platforms.
A few days ago, the developers released a developer diary you should definitely check out.
Check out the game’s website, which has some great posts on inspirations for the game, screenshots, and a lot of videos! There are even some samples of what this horrible hum sounds like!
The game’s Kickstarter will run until September 30, 2014. and the game itself has been scheduled for a release in the final quarter of 2014.
