Rain and snow?

Post by syamada37 » Sun Jul 15, 2012 12:52 pm

So I was thinking and I came up with the idea where u could add falling snow and rain to the game.

I think this would help set the tone and atmoshpere of certain levels, for example falling snow reinforces the idea of a cold place, etc

unfortunately, the added particles and physics would lag the game horribly, causing the atmosphere to be ruined until they add optimisations

I think we will probably see something like this (it was in Lugaru after all) but as human_dictionary said, probably not until later in the dev process. Currently, it wouldn't add anything to the core gameplay, which is what they have been focusing on lately.

Wow, I think sometimes too.
I would prefer for them to just focus on fixing bugs/gameplay and things rather than weather effects ATM.
