Don’t know if it’s been talked about much, I’ve only been playing the game for a month. But man it’d be a nice touch to have seasons.
Think about all of the orange/yellow/red leaves in the fall. Maybe more storms in the spring with buds on the trees. A need for frost resistance in the winter along with snowmen and igloos you could build around your house. And how about a resting bonus for being in the water during summer.
Edit: please add any other seasonal ideas you have. Weather, building, mechanics, etc
A lot of you have mentioned that it would ruin the game for casual players, and that point is totally fair. I wouldn’t want the seasons to make the game more intense. I actually don’t like the idea of wolves coming down the mountain in the winter. I was just thinking of mostly cosmetic differences or slightly different mechanics.
