Dev Stream Landing on Friday, January 27

Dear chicken blog readers, fellow aliens, humans, and everyone who isn’t an agent,

This chicken has some exciting news to share with you all: we’ll be going live this Friday with our first dev stream of the year! Join us as we introduce our community managers on stream, discuss everything that’s been added to Alien Hominid Invasion since August, and of course, invade Earth.

What has been added in that time, do you ask? Well, we’ve got flashy new charge shots for multiple weapons, new hazards and checkpoint levels, a redesign for the HUD, and more that will make your 2023 Earth invasion chaotically enjoyable.

After gaming for a bit, we’ll be holding a short Q&A about AHI with THE ONE AND ONLY DAN PALADIN! Shoot us some questions on social media this week, and they may be answered on stream.

Last but not least, we’ll be debuting two new Vtuber models for Amanda and Sarah (the community managers mentioned earlier heheh)! Who doesn’t love watching cute alien Vtubers play a game where tons of aliens fall from the sky and invade your local neighborhood?

Join us this Friday, January 27, at 2pm PST/5pm EST/10pm GMT on our Twitch or YouTube channels to join in the chaos.

Sincerest Bawks,
Big Chicken

Alien Hominid Invasion Coming in 2023!

Yes, you read that correctly! After spending the year diligently prepping for the invasion, the aliens plan to land on Earth in 2023. We are so excited to finally share our fifth game, Alien Hominid Invasion, with the world next year.

As the year comes to an end, our team is working hard to create exciting, memorable bosses that players can look forward to battling throughout the invasion. We can’t wait for you to test your skills!

But what about everything else we’ve added to the game this year? Here are some quick highlights:

Difficulty options – We added Permakeep and Permadeath options, adding another layer of difficulty for players! Also, difficulty level (Friendly, Normal, and INSANE!) can now be changed within each save file and player profile, so that everyone can have the perfect amount of challenge. Adjust this as you wish, so the game is not too hard, not too soft, but juuuuuust right.

New enemies and challenges – Along with checkpoint levels and shiny new (and sometimes spiky) hazards, we added new enemies like the Bounder, Inchworms, and Big Crabs to sprinkle a little variety into your invasion and keep the chaos rolling!

HUD redesign – The HUD has been completely overhauled since the beta, with the danger meter now visible on the bottom of the screen. Player details such as health and mutation level now follow the player and take up less space on the screen, leaving more room for extraterrestrial chaos!

Delightful interactions – The Mothership now knits you back to life after you fail a level. Cute, right? In true mom fashion, she’ll also send some passive-aggressive texts if you don’t upload your gathered intel fast enough. Best not to upset mom!

Aaaand that’s about it for our quick 2022 developer recap. We’re excited to see what 2023 (and the invasion!) has in store. Still searching for more intel? Check out our newly improved AHI website here, and stay tuned for our next dev stream coming early 2023!
