Weather Feature!

As a cosmetic effect I endorse this 100%. Seeing one game switch from one season to another between matches would be great and add variety without jeopardizing gameplay balance.

However different weather and seasons could each bring small gameplay changes. Spring would make trees grow faster, summer would... I dunno, fall could have fallen leaves for archers to hide in and winter could make water freeze, making fragile breakable ice blocks that reform. Little touches that affect both teams equally, therefore its balanced, and doesn't disrupt gameplay flow.

As for wind, it does seem like its intended right? Is just me or does the viking ship have SAILS?!? Sure it would be random, but it would be only a small factor, affecting only the viking ship. Wind go left, right or neutral, deal with it. Maybe I'll make some more viking ships if the wind is in our favor?

And rain and storms would also be awesome. It would be on and off, and would make wood safer for a little while. Storms could make it a bit darker, and lightning could hit trees, lighting them on fire!

 

I love this idea, I was thinking about it while I was sleeping, and the op got everything right (except for hail, sandstorms, and tornadoes). I think another cool thing would be, when it rains, lightning comes out, and it can strike players, setting them on fire for 2 seconds.

Different classes have different chances of being struck.
Knight: 40%, his armor is metal.
Knight with shield up: 50%, even more metal.
Archer: 20%
Archer with grappling hook: 30%
Builder: 25%

 

Well people seem to love my winter Texture Pack and I am planning to have a mod added to it to add snow effects in the sky. Plus I plan to add and spring and fall version of the Texture Pack.

Almost seems like step by step it is becoming more possible to have this at least as a mod!

 

As a cosmetic effect, I think weather would be sweet also. I think that the current night cycle effects make gameplay annoying to some people because it's too dark to see what's going on in battle sometimes. I created another thread about this here https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/twilight-night-cycle.17117/ ...anyway, I'd love to see more beautiful atmospheric effects like sunrises, sunsets, rain, snow, lightning storms, etc. I think that cosmetic attention to detail is part of what already makes this game so charming, but I would love to see more variation like this in the level background :)

 

A very nice concept, it'll just take a lot of convincing. I'd advise trying it in a mod first just to see how it pans out. Good luck!

 

its gay as fuck

Insulting other's ideas isn't the best image you'd want to go for, they've worked hard to develop these ideas and concepts. Please refrain from me having to tell you this more than once.Thank you.

 

Oh god help the devs.

 

Enjoy your day. Hope there's not bad 'weather' in it..lol

 

Yo there should be fire tornados man

 

Not until after there's sharknados

 

I dont want to see the weather changing stats. It is a fun game, it should implement fun:

Weather Suggestion
A message is warning about "THE BLIZZARD FROM ABOVE"

Background changes to white-> and a heap of snow of 5 tiles y-axis falls over the whole map in 3 seconds (just dropping white blocks from the sky) and burring everything.

People outside will only get 0.5 hearth damage.

The map has changed after it! (Everything is 5 tiles higher - maybe drob the 5 tiles random, for example on 50 pixels 3 tiles and on the next 5 tiles etc...)

People are burried - and have to dig themselfs out


Traps would be neutralized- maybe bridges on buildings are coming up.

 

The weather ideas do sound like they'd make the game seem pretty cool and 'alive', but do bear in mind that each feature that is implemented puts additional load on the computers running an processing it, as well as often increasing the amount of network data that needs to be transmitted and received. Some ideas, particularly the one about the snow falling, would result in a large number of additional moving and collidable objects that must all be calculated and sent to the clients. I suspect this will be very cumbersome on the server side, especially.

Damn computers and their damn limitations, I know.

 

I think we need a sudden-death style shark rain.

 

like this?
i'd suggest a "Fingerbox" for better entertaining experience and long time motivation

 

I think the Edge of Space makers (Terraria) have the copyrights on lasersharks :P

 

I am strongly against this. I don't have the best computer and I lag a little just playing KAG with out more things added. Mods about this I would love though just the occasional game with weather but not added 100% into the game.

 

Of course not, only game modus or something, variation is nice.

And i dont think that a 1 time itemfall would be really the big problem. That was the reason of my suggestion.

Not constant brickfall, just 1 time with a "swoosh"

 

Oh ok. I don't know about it still. It would make the game really interesting.
