Fantasy Friday XVII - Homelands of Teria

[Alex Walz]

There's not a Spring or a Fall, just Summer and Winter. The season can be set in custom skirmishes and in the MMORTS, it's on a cycle where 24 minutes = 24 game hours. There's a couple random effects like snow, rain, and lightning.

Thank you! I hate when developers decide, "We're going to add this feature, because it adds realism to the game" when the feature is mostly pointless and involves incredibly annoying upkeep. It's fantasy, I'm pretty sure we're suspending reality for a second here. Better to enjoy the game out of the gate than have an additional "realistic" feature.

So a game your would take about a week if there were 360 days in a year but if we are skipping 2 seasons how does it work, and if its only like 4 days per season I know i will hoard resources to sell to npcs if they pay better in one season vs the other, or is it not being broken down 50 50 in a real amount of days just sped up year?

Yes, it is about 2 days per season.

Meh i was hoping to see trees with less and less leaves or coming back on it and also going grass from green to brownish and vice versa =/.
But summer should be at least 6 (5?) days and winter 2 since snowless are usually 3 seasons and snow just winter.

Interesting stuff. Nice amount of media in that post.

Heh, Summer and Winter are more than you get in some games - it's either you play the map with snow, or not at all. If there's such a high demand for Spring and Autumn than I'm sure it could come later in a patch.

or they could implant it now
