Howdy. I've just played your updated game. I'm Already loving on how the game is coming along.
For the feedback on the new shader I feel like the older shader look better as it looks like she hiding in the shadow. The New shader doesn't feel that menacing. But I think there could a blend a both where if she far away from the player her shader can be in the original shader and once she close to the player she could be in that new shader.
