Something like weather effects wouldn't be performance intense at all for the most part. It's definitely desired and is planned for our long-term design (along with seasons that influence gameplay).

How are you thinking seasons would be handled in the likes of Aphros? Half of it is an Autumn biome, the other half bathed in purple.

Seasons are going to:
- small decals that only appear depending on the season, in specific areas (for example, during winter, vdalion's region will have snow piles, roaming butterflies in aphros during summer, etc)
- fauna/enemies that only appear depending on the season
- seasonal herbs
- some crops will grow quicker during certain seasons. berries in summon f.ex

The ground tiles won't change, but there will be very obvious visual, mechanical, and text cues.

This is a system that will be prioritized after the Big Update, most likely. Maybe even for it. We'll see!

that would be really small but also really neat. not sure if it really does much other than being a minor immersion thing though.

A lot of small things often add up to create big things. I think more immersive stuff would be great.

nice idea.. but can the game engine handle it? we get lag in big events imagine that plus an storm.

i wouldn't say a BIG storm like i said, small rain effects.. maybe inside a building you hear raindrops on your roof and you can have a command to disable weather sounds, just real small stuff, i want to hear my feet splashing in the water as i run through the puddles after a storm, and such. i want my character to sometimes emote being chlly in Vdalon, or sweating near the desert or a lava pool, Giants get immunity or high tolerance to cold.. and draks to heat.. all sorts. this would be very fun ngl
