Bretspot Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi, First time poster here. Game is great so far and cant wait to watch it evolve and then its eventual release. Great job! I only got through one or two summer months in the Alpha so far, so this could already be implemented , but here is an idea:As you can see from this image: As the seasons change, the light hitting the earth is not straight up and down but a a curve. I think it would be very interesting to watch the seasons change in the geoscape view. It would also affect how many night missions you would theoretically go on based on the latitude that your base is at in relation to the season.

KOKON Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 +1. I'm sure it would be implemented later as polishing thing. But this is a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I must admit this isn't particularly high on my list of priorities. It has been suggested before, but it would require more effort than you might think to implement and there's a lot of stuff I'd rather the team were working on instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 and while it may be more accurate, it doesn't appear to be. It looks funny IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKON Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Do not mix season change with a general axial tilt. No axial tilt for the globe is not fun and really stupid. While season change is more or less forgivable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While season change is more or less forgivable I have no idea what you want to say here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKON Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It can always be early summer in europe. Now it is equinox. I thought constant summer would at least show axial tilt. Straight line is too amateurish. It is possible to give a formula but map would be changed and i guess it's projection. So lets leave this discussion for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bretspot Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ah how about this... instead of having the seasons actually changed, in the interm it might be easy just to make the light over the earth a wave instead of a straight line, then it would look more realistic, even if it wasnt accurate. Anyway, still great so far, can't wait for the AI to come back so I can try playing for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
