Just about to leave the forums (after checking News) when you posted.

Is that a special gun? Maybe we can dye weapons now..

The flashing looks a bit bright to me.

There's a shadow to the left of the flashing.

 

It looked non-human, and I might be seeing an Avali.

 

Aaauuugh, that shadow has a large head, or stooped ness. The gif repeats right as it's about to be lit! Granted; this looks really awesome. This lighting stuff can make for some great Spooky Aliens/DeadSpace things in the future!

 

It kinda of reminds me of a bipedal robot much like the ED209 from Robocop.

 

That's it? Nothing new for nightly build?

 

Ooh, creepy... Probably just a monster, though.

Or is it?

 

AND THEN...

you die

 

Oh jeeze. Flickering lights and creepy things shuffling in the darkness. Having Five Nights at Freddy's falshbacks... Oh, gods! It's the fox again! 5% power and 2 hours to go...

 

Could it be? Ninjas in starbound! I hope so.

 

I like the atmosphere. I use lighting mods to help improve the atmosphere of the game, it's so bright and the character has X-ray vision it seems. With lighting improvements and those new flickering mechanics, the game could easily be an excellent host for some horror. There are a number of excellent pixel horror games and I'd love to see the ability in Starbound to at least sometimes function as a horror game in various starting world dungeons.

 

sooooooo........new monster..............ORRRRRRRR a new TYPE of enemy

 

Vashtanerada!

 

That creature is definitely leaving shadow grime in its wake. Probably pestilence personified. Or just a grimy dude.

 

*screams silently inside*
........ Excuse me, I need to go cry now.

 

ooooooooh, i can imagine it now, your walking through the base, you hear all these small howls, you walk into a room with a flickering light and a shadowy figure on the other side, you approach, the lights go out, theres a brief pause, than a loud screechy roar and you start taking a ton of damage and possibly die

Because that makes sense

 

AHHHH IT'S MOVING D;
Perhaps it's a doppelganger or some form of jump-scare creature? Who knows?

By the way we're talking about the walking black shadow to the left.

 

Hopefully it's a ghost
