    So I've been thinking about calendar events, like:
    • Princess turning into Geti on April Fools day ( https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/princess-upgrade.16429/#post-243020 )
    • Santa claus and snow effect, pine trees having decorations on Christmas
    • Bombs having easter egg textures on Easter
    • Bombs making firework explosions on New Year
    • Something spooky on Halloween
    • Players having party hat's on a Developer's birthday!
    And so on..


    The events could be triggered by player's computer calendar ( yea... they could also have infinite christmas if they change the calendar date every day )

    Or on serverside (?)

    Someone could also retexture the game every season to go with the seasons. Colors changing during fall, snow during winter, blossoms on trees and flowers on the ground during spring, and just the normal texture for summer maybe?

    This sounds wonderful, as long as important developement time isnt wasted - unless they want to be invokved of course.

    I do think it should be more of a community effort than anything else.

    There would have to be different setups depending on location, I say 3: North America, Australia, and Europe. Considering Australia's in a different hemisphere, their seasons are the opposite of NA and Europe, meaning they're in spring right now, while us in North America are in Autumn. So 3 different setups taking into account the holidays in each area and then the change in seasons would be best.

    I think this thread just got resurrected just in time for X-Mas. I already know there are some X-Mas texture packs out there that would be great for the holidays.

    Two things could be done with this.

    Have special official holiday servers that have holiday textures on them.

    Or

    Send out an update that makes everyone use the texture pack (or make it a option for a limited time)
