That's what I was hoping for. At least different sky colors. It would be great if there were time dependent wildlife too like the chickens in the day and other animal during the night.
I've wanted environmental changes ever since I saw that the top banner changed with the game time! Not sure how much work it might require, though... :\
+1 to Time/Changes in the background sky
+1 to Weather (or just have certain streets that have weather if it can't be done dynamically across the game world)
The idea of seeing a chicken or two blowing by in the wind just makes me incredibly happy! I would love to see some sort of weather or background changes with time of day. Even a little storm off in the background every once in a while...
+1 to weather and time effects (including changes in background and sky)
+1 to different wildlife - e.g. butterflies during the day, and less during the night and some cave animals then. (Haven't been to many caves yet) - maybe fireflies and batterflies?
Extra idea: special nighttime crops (e.g. nettles to make nettletea)
Sooooo this thread is from two months ago. I just had the exact same idea (time effects and weather), and so I'm just going to bump this thread instead of starting a new one.
I'm also going to add, then we'll need flashlights/torches/streetlamps/fireflies/etc.
