WEATHER SYSTEM

set times of the day where it rains, during winter in real life have it be snowy in game, idk if they already have this in the game because i dont play it that much due to it being closed all the time, but day time in real life=day time in game, night time in real life=night time in game

  • Right now, a full day in game takes place in four hours of real time, so the only way to have day time rl = night time game time (gt) would be a 1:1 day conversion, which would be difficult for a lot of players who rely on the new game day to reset their energy and moods. But it WOULD be nice for lighting to change in game, depending on the game time. That could be interesting, and a good way to realize that it's nearing game midnight. There have been a few times where I've lost track of the little Game Time thing at hte top of the screen and had a new day sneak up on me.

    As for the weather, random rainy moments could be fun, though matching seasons with real life is also a difficult thing, due to half the world having their "summer" at the same time as the other half of the world having their "winter."

    I think random weather could be really fun. Windy weather? More tree drops or something! Lightning? Careful when mining those metal rocks!

  • at least Lightning when God 1st talks after not talking for a while then maybe some rainbows when done (unless it was bad news then it all ends in mass graves).

  • I agree with Jia-pop..... while weather is difficult, a change in the background lighting would be excellent and helpful.

  • Oh!
    Idea for lightning: When it strikes you, you get the "Shoked" buff, that gives you the speed of light. :D

  • I like the idea of lighting changing or at least seeing the sun move (like it does on the home screen) during game time.  I also like the idea of random weather or even different weather in different regions.  Lightning would be a lot of fun.

  • I'd rather not have animated weather. The lag would kill me.  As it is now, it takes me ages to get into a winteryplace. I'd hate to have to go through that kind of lag on a regular basis.

  • If your mood gets low, a little raincloud appears above you and it rains on you!

  • I think it would be cute to have random (shortish) rain storms crop up every now and then. There could be certain special things you could do during the storms. Like collect rain and rain water could be maybe drank and it would give a very nice mood and energy boost, or it could be applied to plants and trees and make them grow faster or give a double harvest that one time. Things like that.
    There could also be risks to collecting rain water like you might attract lightening and get hit by it. Being hit by lightening could do a whole range of random things like just zapping your mood or energy all the way down.
