Is it me only me or does anyone else feel like a horror element is needed at night?

[Chicken1156]

Hey, I want to say that I love this game and the updates it has been getting. It would be awesome at night if there were creatures and not more wolves or normal creatures. I mean a horror element to the game that just seems to make you feel uneasy. I love the weather system, but I'm just a fan of getting scared in video games (Thunderstorms). I have been looking for a mod that adds different monsters to the game instead of these regular Earth creatures (Worms and wolves).

Long story short: I'm just saying zombies and scary creatures would be pretty dope at night.... missed opportunity. XD
P.S. Love the detail to sound effects in this game just amazing, the devs show a lot of love to the game so kudos to that :)

most def they need something that prowls at night and random events of some alien like horde or something like that, maybe meteors that strike the planet and you can choose to seek them out for a chance to fight for rewards like ore and what not.

It may be just you...
Hunting at night...
With^ the UI off...

It's^ "scary" enough... 00'

SIMPL3 hunting missions...
At^ night...
Using only 24 "flare arrows" for light...

It's^ an "eye opener"... 00'
Running after "rabbits" in the dark...
There may be a "chance" to run into trouble...

I hope they develop the absence of the UI...
It^ is quite an experience...
Toggling it on and off is a bit tedious...

My prospector would like to "interact" better with the UI off...
Having things run around with a "label" on it...
Too^ easy...

No, that's just how he types. It's often unreadable.

Anyway, a horror element at night would be kinda cool. Hunting at night is kinda boring, because you can hear everything before it attacks you and even then, they're not hard to kill.

Would love for there to be some special mutated creatures that come out at night that stalk their prey and such.

Like 7D2D ?

Hm. I'm wondering if y'all got the Prometheus dlc. There's things there.. things with glowing red eyes that, even when they're not hunting you, know where you are and watch from a distance. Perhaps while it waits for the others to arrive.

I literally got "raptored" by these things once. You know.. how they're described in Jurassic Park.

There's also black cliff racers, lol.

Could it use more spookiness still? Sure, why not. But those freaking red eye devils staring at me at night is creepy as it is.

The one with red eyes is Dracs and they are really very alarming at night, and also, for example, I noticed that at night Viscid crawls out onto the shore of Lake I6, which also looks a little tense.

Yeah, the dracs on prometheus are definitely a little unsettling. There's code in the game where once you see one drac, it spawns more around you in a ring. All sitting on their haunches and looking at you.

I ran into one in a very narrow cavern, and given the space constraints the game spawned 4 dracs nearly should to shoulder because it was the only place it could put them.

But I would like to see some creature that radically changes behavior at night.

Like hyennas on earth are scavengers during the day.

But at night we now know they are totally different due to advances in night vision equipment. At night, hyennas hunt, kill, and EAT lions. At night they go on murder sprees. They kill stuff they have no inclination to eat. Just slaughter stuff, walk around the corpse, and keep going. I've seen video of a pack of hyennas messing with hippos. They can't even bite through hippos skin, but they seem to be just torturing it for amusement. At one point there were two hyennas that had managed to get a hold of the hippo's tail (and they have tiny tails), and were trying to pull it backwards.

And normally, not many things mess with hippos in africa. They're the 3rd most deadly creature to humans in africa (#1 and #2 are disease carrying insects). Hippos kill more people per year then all the big cats put together. They have tusks the length of your forearm. When they open their jaws full extension, they look like staple pullers.

this would be nice. Some night-bloom flowers and other nocturnal resources would also be great. As it stands nighttime in Icarus is the same as day with the exception that you need a flash light.

They could add a lot to the game by introducing new recipes (and variants for current recipes) that can only be harvested at night from animals, plants, and other nodes only available at night.

no horors pls, i like this game cos its one of few with no psicic horor, i am weak mental stature, even just "*knock*,knock*" sounds from wals in dark lit room, of game scen is enough to unerve me and set heart racing. and especialy if you play late at night irl, alone in house. evn tense background music, so no tnx. maybe make it selectble feature for those who would want to deal canibals and zombies of survival games, but not for me tnx, "opt out". "uncheck".

[Chicken1156]

Oh wow, i thought no one was on the same page haha. Ive done hunts at night and..... rabbits come on lol.
Im glad there are so many people on the same page as me haha
