The change in the sky during Midsummer makes me wonder.... are we eventually going to get day/night cycles in game or is that just going to be an event thing?

    I dont expect to ever see day/night cycles. I expect it to stay fixed as a concession to the foundry, and future events. Its much easier to stay true to a mood or theme if you have full control over the light levels and time of day. A Halloween event, for example, would only really fit the mood if the event area was set for night. Something that would be hard to do if it only stayed night for 15 to 20 minutes before changing again. Being able to control the time of day is a critical foundry tool that helps set the mood and tell a story.

    This is not a sandbox game with a large open ever evolving world. It is a theme park, and it works best when the creators have full control of the theme at hand.

    Mm. That does make sense, yes. I should have thought of that. Thanks!
