Sun go down as night approaches

I would love to know if it would be possible to have the sun come up with each new day and go down at night.  I'm not much of a clock watcher so most times miss when a new Glitch day is occurs, but if the sun went down it would give more of a visual effect a new day is almost here.

This might be impossible but it sure would be fun.

  • Love this suggestion +1

    Would be cool to see the twilight night, moon, and stars as our little glitches travel across Glitch land.

  • This would be pretty cool, just like the header at the home page.

  • Trust me, the overhead can be nasty. I'm about to do something like it for my own API project, but to do it I'm having make more than one instance of the background scenery under the different lighting conditions and try to cross fade them. That means every street would have to have similar done. There are a few shortcut techniques, but still that's a lot of extra overhead. If they can find a way past these obstacles I'm all for it, but right now I don't want to see anything that may substantially affect and delay the roll-out of the game. Maybe they should still do a beta test group after the release for such stuff.

  • There is already a sun cycle in the game.  Granted, it's sometimes hard to tell which part of the day we're in, since the colors and sun position aren't very clear, but it is already in place.  Some tweaking of the colors, values, and position of the sun in the graphic might make this more obvious.

    You can follow this set of 'time-of-day graphics' even when the game is closed. It's showing at the top of your screen, with the in-game time over on the right, under the graphic.

  • It'd be cool to see this added in the future. It kinda peeves me to see it being Midnight in the Glitch world, yet Groddle Heights still looks bright as day at the same time.
