Alien Hominid Invasion Demo Mothership Data Report

Greetings, invaders! Next Fest has come and gone, meaning it’s time to share some top-secret intel about the Mothership Data you all gathered for us last week. We’d like to thank each of you for helping us with the Invasion by sharing your thoughts and silly gameplay moments – we value your time and input more than you know!

Now, what you’ve all been waiting for. Drumroll, please…

To explain the intel in a little more detail:

The keyboard warriors win again! But wait, didn’t the Mothership suggest using a controller at the start? Since the demo was on Steam only, I suppose this makes sense in the grand scheme of things.

As for the most challenging foe, it seems the Hunters gave our invaders the most trouble, dealing 7% of all incoming damage toward all aliens. Don’t worry, your time for revenge will come. Surely.

Alien mission failure rate was pretty high at 71.9%, with most invaders losing on the third city block. I wonder what types of enemies you all were encountering then…

Invader kill to death ratio was at 44.8%, with over 6 million invader kills and 135,613 deaths. Great job to all our valiant alien friends for fighting the good fight!

For favorite cosmetics, it was no surprise to see one of our epic Vtuber heads as one of your most chosen items. Sarah has really started a trend here, eh? Honorable mention to the giraffe-like head, and the most popular weapons of course – Energy Knife, Dual Lasers, and the Combustor (what stylish weapons you all chose)!

Total invader playtime was at 21,274 hours – you all spent 2.4 years in a span of a week invading Earth! The Mothership is truly proud.

Once again, thanks to all the earthlings who took the time to try our game and share your thoughts about it! We couldn’t do it without you. Now that it’s all said and done, we’ll keep reviewing our Mothership Data and use it wisely to polish up the game. See you next time~

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!
