This is a cool lighting system! I can’t wait for the game to come out.

Awesome. No, really. I mean the literal sense of the word.

zephyr spark
Any change we can pay extra for a copy of the OST? That was epic cave music. It almost had a bit of Nyancat and then jumps right back into the spelunking.
Jon218
First Starbound video?!
Red7jtw
Not only does this show us that lighting is leagues above terraria, but this is also the very first video of the game, EVER! And already it has shown us so much, such as the flow of the graphics compared to the screenshots we’ve seen so far. I hunger for more!
Kliek
I completely agree that the lighting mechanics look really sharp, and love the flashlight where you can point where you want to light up. I’m also surprised no one has commented on the character animations yet.
To me they are looking MUCH better than they did in Terraria. From running and jumping and falling, I can see more blending animations in each of those actions and it just makes it looks much better. PLUS we got to see it in action where we don’t have to jump over 1 block height increases anymore XD. Really looking forward to this game!
Asd3123af23
May I ask why this is still being compared to Terraria like it’s from the same creators? Sure, it has the same spriter but really.. The rest of the team ! = Redigit.
seth engler
The same reason everyone compares every modern mumorperguh to WoW. Either way Starbound be shapin’ up into a fine game. :D
http://www.facebook.com/Josh.F.IgoRawR Joshua D. Ferguson
Liked for how you speak, and I agree. Shapin’ up indeed!
batty
The same reason people originally compared Terraria to Minecraft. It’s literally, something to compare it to. Now it’s hard to compare those two games since Terraria built so much from itself, it became a game for others to compare it with. Eventually Starbound will diverge itself from Terraria enough so no one will compare to it (hopefully).
With that said, Kliek makes it sound like Starbound (will become / is) Terraria 2. So far the only similarity they have is their looks. Though, that can’t be helped, yet.
Aidasaurus
Not to mention the fact that one day people will be comparing other games to Starbound
Kliek
My apologies. The first article I read about Starbound was at Gamespy with the title “Terraria Dev Embarks on Ambitious New Project, Titled ‘Starbound”. Since then I kept getting it in my head that it was by the same team. Thanks for the correction. And no I never thought it was “Terraria 2″
Either way, it’s not hard to see WHY it would be compared to Terraria (design-wise)… and that’s not a bad thing. Terraria was a great game and I’m 100% sure this will be too, comparing it was just a compliment. (as long as it doesn’t turn into another WoW thing) :P
Guest
The “Terraria Dev” is working on a new project, and the “Terraria Spriter” is working on Starbound.
http://www.facebook.com/Josh.F.IgoRawR Joshua D. Ferguson
To quote, the terreria dev is taking a break from making games because he is getting a new child.

You need to understand, most games have something that stems from something else, inspiration, figurative, and metaphoric, it’s literally how games are made. We take ideas that worked in other, later games, and implement them into our own works.
Dracas42
Very much agreed.
nish
wow looks amazing! keep it up!
ghostchem
God i can’t wait, the music in the video is pure awesome as well as the lighting.
Frootlewp
HOLY SHIT BALLS FUCK BUTT EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gameplay is so smooth and vibrant!
StarKiller
Holy crap, it’s the very first Starbound gameplay video. I really like the lighting effects, seems like the game is coming along very well. I hope they implement a beta of some sort, so all of us can help shape the game into the best it can possibly be.
Mr.Derp

Wow, this is lighting is just brilliant!
I wasn’t expecting the shadows and animations to be working together so fluidly… Can’t wait for the actual gameplay.
This video just made my day.
Gustaf Lindberg
PLEASE take all of my money!!
Gustaf Lindberg
amazing music, will it be in the game aswell??
Nithilus
The lighting is fantastic!, i have never seen a sidescroller with such detail, The character animations dont look clunky either, very fluid and smooth. Great work
Luke
This is gorgeous! What a beautiful environment and lighting effects and UI!
Am I the only one who thinks the characters look kinda gangly though?
Luke
I’M NOT COMPLAINING! Just making a minor suggestion.
Nomicakes
Eh, if that’s the art style, that’s the art style. I find it quite pleasantly unique, personally :)
ThisIsMyName
At first, I was really bothered with Starbound’s character styles, but I got used to it, and now it looks……. PURE AWESOME!
Wojtek WO
Cool lighting you got there.
And the music! It’s amazing!
Shasgard
Owyeah the music !!
SpoonOfDoom
So, this is _torchlight_, then? :)
Sorry, couldn’t resist. But on a more serious note, this is really looking good – can’t wait to actually play this game! But isn’t that light cone a tad too narrow? A slightly bigger one, with only a fraction of the brightness on the outer areas, would do better, imho. Also, while realistically, it looks kind of weird when you can hardly see your own character in the dark.
These are really only minor issues or personal preferences, though. I have to agree with the tenor: TAKE MY MONEY! :)
Soga
Yeah, I really gotta agree here. This seems like it could get frustrating to have such a narrow beam of light (or for that matter, no personal lighting to give you a small glance of what’s behind you). Then again, this was recently implemented “today” according to the post, so they probably hadn’t really thought about tweaking all that quite yet.
Lazagne
This and maybe the fact that this is low level lighting device, we probably will be able to get better lighting later or to upgrade this one.
Phyrex
like nightvision goggles ;)
Sorat
Its more realistic Dude… if u use flashlight or something like that u cant see what is behind you…
Soga
It’s a video game, and good game design comes first. I’m just pointing out that it would get frustrating very fast if you didn’t have some SORT of sense of what lies slightly behind you. I’m not saying that every light should shine in all direction, I’m just saying that there should be some limited radiating personal light so the darkness doesn’t feel so frustratingly suffocating (but would still preserve a feel of mystery).
Jokomul
It’s actually not as realistic as you’d think. Go into a pitch black room and shine a flashlight at a wall. You’ll see more illumination (even if it is much less than the main beam) than there is in this video due to the light reflecting off other surfaces.
I would actually venture to say that the way the flashlight beam is portrayed in this video is fairly unrealistic, especially given that the torch (which should be much dimmer than any modern lightbulb) seems to illuminate way more area than the flashlight. Either the torch should have a much smaller radius of illumination or the flashlight should have a larger angle at which it illuminates and be slightly stronger.
DiscipleCain
You know you’re just splitting hairs, and that the Devs get to decide what’s ‘realistic’ or not. The darkness is unnatural. You can only pierce it with a direct beam of light. :D
Lemuel1
Just saying this game has bloody space hobos, hover bikes that look like sharks and evil penguins. I don’t think its supposed to be realistic and don’t forget your on a different planet the laws of physics might be different.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Tony-Elliott/1169073314 Tony Elliott
I also disagree, this lighting is perfect with the flashlight. It ENCOURAGES twitchy movement, and constant looking over the shoulder. If you don’t like it, just torch the place with lights.
Sontrowa
As for the narrowness of the beam, I think it’s pretty good for just a
regular flashlight. I would assume that if you don’t feel like torching the place up you could perhaps MAKE a better flashlight. Mix the basic flashlight and a giant lens for a miners light. The flashlight may even be a step up from a low light lantern.

Man, I’m completely… flabbergasted O_o
It looks absolutely awesome, both the lighting and the world and animations themselves! Keep it up!
Miuub
make it so when you turn the light off you can only see your character’s eyes!
anyway GIVE ME DIS GAME
Maplestrip
Wow, awesome lighting, and was it just me or that music… Nyan? The game seems to be doing great, I didn’t know the devs were this far already :D Well, let’s wtch it another 50 times ;)
eil0strider
first video already shows game looks good and much more. =)
must share some opinion: -the range of light-beam is good and no need to make it wider; -someone below said that it’s not realistic to not see own character in dark =i disagree and like how character is in shade here in video; -good idea was below to see character’s eyes in darkness, when there is no light sources; -narrow-directional lights is more interesting then all-direction sources, but please(!) don’t call this “a torch”(and i hope there will be stationary/placeable searchlights/projectors in game)
Deus
It also shows how you use different hands to hold things. Great!
krushie
It looks so good… I’m REALLY looking forward to getting a home server going and having all my friends play.

phn08
I don’t think my computer gonna wanto work with that kind of lighting. Terraria 1.1 colored lighting system almost lagged it to hell
ThisIsMyName
Seriously? What type of computer are you using? Are you using Atari STE with 256 RAM? If you’re using THAT, I’d jolly recommend you to upgrade your laptop instantly.
Sharkopus
Really cool, Thanks Omi.
Adaols
Omg this is amazing :D
http://ragnarripper.myopenid.com/ Ragnar
looks great for a start.
i agree with a possibility in frustrating players because the light is a bit narrow, but for this level (tunels) i thought it was adequate.
maybe an upgradable torch? (with lasers, of course!)
and now for the mandatory part of a comment:
take. my. MONEY! :) seriously. can’t wait to play!
Lazagne
I loved the music. But my speaker wont accept my money :(
Aeldira
You know, i tried to think of something good and constructive that makes me look very interlligent, but all i could come up with is “Awesome!”
I actually like the fact that it’s such a small light, makes the whole caver look big and creepy *grins*

The lighting is look really promising can’t wait for a demo or something of the game! is that game music because it sound real nice.
Red Space Monkey
I don’t know what the problem is with comparing. Comparing means finding similarities and differences. You could even compare an apple and a toilet if you want to. It obvious that Starbound has some similarities and some differences regarding Terraria, and just talking about these things doesn’t imply that Starbound isn’t an independent project.
Scaletail
So you can’t place torches or other light sources? or you can but you did not have any/don’t want to show us :)
Serikos
i think its clear that you can place torches :)

I know… I’d rather not hear any nyan cat while playing. if you want to listen to it go find the 24 hour long youtube video of it… I just want to play the game.
Sammyrocks555
nope. best. music. ever.
Artstriker11
I really loved it too!
Colobotwymiata
Liked it. To the point where the nyan cat kicks in. It just doesn’t fit into the whole dark, creepy cave exploring theme.
Such awesome music! There are clearly some amazing people working on this game.
It has such an in depth feel to it already and we have only seen a snippet.
Krzysztof Waclawik
I wonder about system requirements….
Scaletail
Probably barely more then terraria

omg the character movement is just as good as the lighting AWESOME, and i hope this is in game music because it is amazing as well
gunslinger
Wtf? Nyan-cat? Is that going to be an ingame music piece?
MFFChaos
Damn im gonna love this game!
Siegfoult
Really cool, I like the way the flashlight (compared to a torch) exchanges the radius for distance, players will now have a tactical choice of lighting style. Also, graphics look good and music was nice too. Keep up the great work! :)
The music reminded me of Nyan Cat.. In the best possible way. :D I hope preorders are up soon!

I’m rather astonished at the gameplay, but I have to agree with many who think the beam should be a bit wider, albiet with more fall off. Getting lighting perfect is always a pain though. You’re still getting my monies ;)

i like how you auto walk up tiles if they are only 1 high. a small yet genius thing that other popular sandbox games *cough minecraft+terraria* fail to adress
Waffletime
Actually if you think about it a bit, Terraria is the only one you can apply that to. It’s blocks are 2 feet square, whereas Minecraft’s are 1 meter square. At least in minecraft you can make stairs.
Besides that and on the topic of Starbound,
In the words of the philosopher, “Shut up and take my money!”

Okay, I see a video of the character walking. Just a question.. Is that the only movement speed? Or is it sprint on double tap of the direction you wish to move? :o

I’d like to see dynamic lighting be more hindering as well as helpful. Without light, the screen could have a dimming effect, as eyes adjust to the darkness.

Wouldn’t that kind of be the opposite of Starbound? I mean seriously, if you are bound to Earth, you are on a nice planet filled with life. Wouldn’t Starbound kind of be, like, not on Earth? (I don’t know what Earthbound is :P)

Oh, I didn’t know the trolls were already implemented! Good work, guys. You have to work a bit on their random sentences, though. Relogic suing one of their team mates would be a stupid idea even for a troll.
Yamzo
This is really a small detail but it’s things like these that make gameplay awesome: Notice how when the flashlight shines at something midair (I think its midair?) It blocks the light beam behind it but the light continues around it. If that makes any since.
Yamzo
Wait that would be “sense,” wouldn’t it? Or “sence…” I think it’s “sense.”

Also… if you don’t take my money I will shove it in your face until you accept it.

I’m already really liking that you can have a handheld light source, and that you don’t have to jump to get to higher elevations like you do in Terraria because the blocks(not sure if there will be blocks? Looks like it) are shorter.

Hello guys, i’m new here and sorry for my bad english
I don’t know if that was sugested before but in my opinion, when using the flashlight i think it could produce a little bit of backlight, the way it is right now (at least in the video), i can barely see my character when using the flashlight, this could create some problems in situations like jumping because you can’t see very clearly where you’re landing.
Stian French
Is this lighting not THE perfect setup for you to be exploded by a creeper?
