    What should i say?
    Those parallaxes look absolutely gorgeous!
    This surely will turn the underground into something more interesting :D
    Do we also get different music for the underground?

    I love them, as if the game couldn't be immersive enough this sure does take the cake!

    The new parallaxes look fantastic - especially with the lighting, things are starting to feel more alive.

    Very cool, I'm liking the machinery/industrial themes! Will be interesting to see where you're going with them!

    I hope the specific parralaxes shown here are tied to specific underground biomes instead of common. Having plain underground biomes with rock is good for regular underground exploration but having pipes in the background or random trees omnipresent would not be good for immersion. It would feel less like "we went underground" and more like "the surface is following us".

    Now, I have to search for remaining humans in the mines... Say, would some of the human bases underground get their Wrecked versions? It's kinda jarring to see many of them having functional USCM-esque aesthetics.

    I really like where things are going with the paralaxes! The addition of additional mineshafts would probably be the only thing to make the underground even better. *gasp* living mineshafts built from the flesh and bone of flesh biomes should totally be a thing!

    Parallaxes are really coming along well. I agree that certain parallaxes should only be present in certain biomes and mini-biomes, but the art and direction of these settings are really creating something iconic for Starbound.

    Yes, finally. The long awaited "derelict structures" and "sunken cultures" feeling the underground so much needed is coming along nicely. ;)

    Similar things should be done for oceans. As someone from a few weeks ago said - go play Aquaria.

    The new parallaxes are really well done. Little touches like this add a lot of enjoyment to the game.

    As I said it before, this is just beautiful!
    YES! I was just thinking: how lovely/creepy flesh-layers now could get! Looking much forward to peel off the wall layers. Or ... does these parallexes mean, that - like in the pictures - there would be natural "open walls" to show the beauties you create for the background layers?
    Underground cave with water and crystals growing ... uuuuh, I wish this could become reality! :D
     
  15. Beautiful! I love the idea of lush greenery underground, and like grass underground. Maybe you could do like mossy stuffs too. I would love to see some action in the background too, little things here and there like a biome with giant monster beasts fighting or something.

    They look like... cosmetic stuff...

    Does this mean I'll be rewarded with a cool parallax instead of an unsightly hole when I mine out wall ores?
